Printing multiple copies of PDF together

I can not seem to figure out the settings for printing copies. I want to be able to print multiple copies of a PDF so the entire document prints together. Right now, when I print multiple copies in Acrobat Pro (10.1.3), it prints the all the copies of the first page, then all the copies of the second page, etc. Is there any setting to change this, so one copy of the document prints together before other copies print?
This may be an easy fix, but I've looked at all the preference and printer settings and can't find anything!

Hi Lori! Thanks for that link. I am a Mac user and those directions did not work for me. When I enter in a number greater than 2 in the "copies" box, there is an option to "collate", which I have clicked. Looking at that set of directions, that is what has been turned off. I've clicked through all the various boxes in the print dialogue box, as well as preferences, and there is nothing mentioned "about stapling." Am I completely missing something?
Thanks for the help Lori!

  • Printing multiple copies of PDF causes huge amounts of data to be sent to printer...

    Whenever I need to print multiple copies of a PDF file Acrobat sends the complete file for each and every copy. This really chokes the RIP or laserprinter and takes many times longer to print than needed.
    It seems it is something to do with the CS3 software for Intel Macs and the issue has been around for a long time... My only solution at this stage is to print PDFs from the Preview app (built into OSX).

    Is a proper fix ever going to appear for this issue?? Apparently it has been resolved in InDesign - why not in Acrobat?

    Try to uncheck the collate box.

  • Unable to print multiple copies of PDF using reader X with new Windows 7 computer

    I recently upgraded to a new Windows 7 computer.  Now when I try to print a PDF I can only print one copy.  I have checked that my Mopier Mode is enabled and have tried everything I can think of.  Why could I print multiple copies with Windows XP but can't with Windows 7?

    How does that manifest itself:
    you cannot change the number of copies on the Print panel?
    you can change the number of copies, but it prints only one?

  • How do I print multiple copies of a page in a PDF File?

    How do I print multiple copies of a page in a PDF File?  For some reason I tell it to print, for example, 3 or 4 copies of a certain page and it will only print one copy!!!

    OS X 10.9.5Adobe Reader 11.0.10
    I increase the number of copies to 3, 4, or 5 (etc.) but it would still only print one copy of the designated page/pages.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 will not print multiple copies

    When I first set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 I could print multiple copies.  Not sure when, how, or why but I can no longer print more than one copy of any document at a time regardless if it is one page or 100 pages.   I tried to update the drivers but the update failed as it said it could not uninstall the printer. When I did the error reporting it said there was no solution.
    My OS is Window XP Home
    The printer is connected via network.
    I print mainly from MS Word 2010 and Adobe PDF files and I have the same issue from either program.
    This question was solved.

    Since the drivers and software refuses to update automatically, force it to. Uninstall all of the printer software and install it back using a fresh download. That will ensure that you have the latest driver and software for the printer installed and eliminate the need for updates for a while. I'll link them below. If that doesn't fix the problem with multiple documents not printing, try using an alternate driver for the printer. I'll link those instructions below. Let me know what happens.

  • Printing multiple copies in 1.3 and 1.4

    Hi,
    I have a problem while trying to print multiple copies of a doc programmatically (without the Print Dialog)with 1.3 and 1.4, but nobody seems to know an answer.
    In 1.3 you can set the nr. of copies on the PrinterJob with the setCopies() Method. But this just doesn't work...
    pj.setCopies(2);
    pJ.print();
    prints only one copy!
    On the 1.4 you can use the PrintRequestAttributeSet to set the nr of copies, I tried this too, but it also doesn't work, I always receive just one copy (or the nr. of copies set in the Print Dialog...)
    PrintRequestAttributeSet attset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    attset.add(new Copies(2));
    pJ.print(aset);
    This has to work somehow, nobody seems to miss it and it is part of the API. Is there some other trick that must be taken into account? The Bug List brings a few old errors, but under 1.4 there is no bug listed...
    Thanks for helping me!
    Maria

    Thanks a lot for helping me, this just wasn't my problem; but at least I'am meanwhile a little bit wiser:
    the problem seems to be the printer: I can try here on 3 different printers (one of them is the ADOBE PDF, where I mostly do the testing).
    The Printer 1 returns the SupportedAttributeValues for Copies 1-2000 and prints the 2 Copies wished ( works properly!)
    The Printer 2 returns the SupportedAttributeValues for Copies 1-999 but doesn't print more than 1 copy (Any idea ??? )
    The Printer 3 ( the ADOBE PDF one ) returns the SupportedAttributeValues for Copies.class 1 and prints allways only one copy, which at the first view seems to be right...(I already have tried to change the MultipleDocumentHandling to SINGLE_DOCUMENT.SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET but that doesn't help!)
    But I don't understand, why all the printers print 2 copies if I do it through the Print Dialog: when I increase the number of copies in the dialog, the specified number of copies is allways printed!!!
    It is driving me crazy! I cannot properly implement the requirement to print 2 copies of a document, because there is no information from the printer that this won't do it ( see the printer 2!!!) The information about the printer that the java API returns, seems to be less than the printer really can!!!??? I hope, I am wrong...
    So, if you have solved such problems, please let me know how!
    Lot of thanks,
    Maria

  • Printing multiple copies per page, not multiple pages per sheet

    How can I print multiple copies of page per sheet of paper?
    I've got an image or PDF that I'd like to print 4 or more of per sheet of paper. But it can easily fit on one sheet. When I choose to print 4 copies and in the Layout section choose 4 copies per page what I get is for pages printed out with the image scaled down to a quarter of a page.
    What I'd like is the one image scaled down and printed 4 times on a single piece of paper.

    I don't completely believe that this is completely
    due to the drivers from the printer manufacturer.
    Nor did I say that it is. The software from which the doc is being printed is
    even more important re page layout options.
    Your statement of "It is a function of the printer driver..." is what led to that misunderstanding.
    I completely agree that the idea of 'print to PDF' is misleading and that I was mislead that all the print dialog options (like the quartz filters that do work in outputting to PDF and the # of copies that do not) should apply to creating PDF files using the print dialogue. It now says 'save to PDF' in 10.4 instead of 'output' or 'print'. I think some of my confusion is carrying over from UI decisions in 10.3.
    Obviously it wasn't designed to work this exact way
    or it would work this exact way.
    I have no idea what this statement means.
    It's stating the obvious in reply to your statement of the obvious ("the feature you are trying to use isn't designed to work that way."). If it were designed to work in the manner that I was wanting it perform I would have never posted a question about it.
    You can say it's not commonly done and that would
    apply to anything other than printing off one full
    sized copy of any single page. Using Quartz filters
    isn't "commonly done" but it's available.
    Not true... mailing labels, multipage spreads, thumbnails, reductions/
    enlargements, ad infinitum are far more frequently done than printing
    the same content on the same sheet multiple times. As I said, however,
    there are provisions for doing so when the need arises.
    You missed the point. Functionality is presented that is far less utilized than what I was desiring to do on this platform/set of applications as compared to other platforms/sets of applications. This is why I specifically mentioned the quartz filtering. I have personally met only one other person who uses quartz filtering yet I know over a dozen that want to print in the manner I originally posted about.
    I'm sure you have seen such results & I have done
    the exact same type of output hundreds of times on
    both Windows & Mac platforms as well as others...
    but not in the manner you are attempting to get it
    done. As you've found out, that just doesn't work.
    And I've seen it performed in the manner I was attempting, furthering the frustration.
    In any program you typically do specify page layout
    before number of copies... in fact, that is the cruxt of the
    issue. But getting the same content to repeat on a single
    page is not a matter of page layout and is not a function
    of the print operation unless you're dealing with commercial
    devices.
    I guess I've just been spoiled by those big office Xerox machines. I never thought of that functionality being at all special in any way.
    Thank you for the assistance.

  • Laserjet won't print multiple copies on Windows 8

    No matter how many print copies I request, it only prints one at a time. Using Word 2010. I'm running Windows 8.1 and the printer is a 1320 PCL5.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The START Button returns with Windows 8.1; Classic Shell for Windows 8; and
    future Windows 10.
    METRO interface -- go to Settings for Printers.
    Device and Printers is correct area for setup/changes.
    The ABS PDF Driver v400 is not a Physical Hardware printer, it is the ability for you to convert a MS Word document by "printing" to an Adobe PDF file.
    Under Devices and Printers, you should see an HP Printer (1320) Icon/Image OR
    the HP Universal PCL Driver (Icon/Image) for HP Printers.
    ====
    HP Advisory.
    NOTE: The PCL6 print driver has continued to experience some difficulties printing multiple copies from accounting applications to the HP LaserJet 1320 series printer after enabling advanced printing features.
    Printing with the HP postscript (PS) emulation print driver and enabling the advanced printing features has resolved this issue in these cases.

  • I am unable to print multiple copies on 1 page

    I have a macbook and I used to be able to print multiple copies on 1 page. It had a selection on the bottom right. Now something has changed with the format. It allows me to select multiple copies, but only prints one.

    Hi,
    In order to print multiple documents on one page, you may follow the steps mentioned below:-
    Press Command+p- Select multiple pages or booklet
    If you are not getting these options, please send us a screenshot to better understand the issue.

  • Printing multiple copies of 3 page BOL in Duplex mode-

    Hi Gurus!
    I have created a smartform to print the BOL on front side and terms and conditions on back side. I used the duplex mode to print and it works perfectly fine. When I have a BOL with 3 pages of information , it prints the items on the front side and terms and conditions on the second side and it does everything absolutely correctly.
    At our organization we always print 5 copies of any BOL and that is when the problem arises. When we do a printing of the BOL form with number of copies set to 5 , it prints very akwardly with the settings. First it prints page 1 front and same thing on the back, then  again the first page on the first and its back and then front on the third side , then similarly 5 sides of terms and conditions and then followed by 5 sides of page 2 items and followed by 5 sides of terms and conditions, which is very akward. Actually it should print first set with page 1 and TC on back of it , then Page 2 and TC on its back and page 3 and TC on its side like it does when I make a single copy.
    Is there any settings that I am missing thats making the above happen when I print multiple copies of the BOL?
    Please suggest.

    Hi!
    Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
    My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
    Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Printing Multiple Copies of Same Image on Multiple Pages

    I have Photoshop Elements 11 on a Windows 8 platform.  I can NOT get it to print multiple copies of the same file on multiple pages.  I need one file printed on one page multiple times.  I have tried the CTRL-ALT-SHIFT and nothing changes.  It still just prints one and is done.
    I use this for label printing, so I need it to print more than one copy at a time.  It also is not saving the settings, so everytime I hit print, I have to readjust the print requirements.  This just is not going to work when you need to print a few hundred copies at a time.

    You can create your own picture package, if none of the options in the PSE print window>Type of Print work for you. Just make a blank file, copy/paste your image and alt drag it to make multiple copies. You can use the move tool to position things as you want them.
    Generally speaking, though, for something like label printing, it's simplest to use PSE to create the image, then use your word processing/desktop publishing program to print the actual labels.

  • How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1?

    How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1? I was able to do it on the old iPhoto, but can't seem to be able to do it on the new iPhoto. Grrr...

    Photos does the same thing.... Only workaround I can come up with is to create a template in Pages and copy &amp; paste.

    How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper?  Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

    no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
    select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos

  • How to print multiple copies on one page ?

    How to print multiple copies of one document on one page ?
    in coreldraw I used to make the document -for example a business card 5x9 - and when sending to print it automatically placed the number of cards that would fit in my A4 sheet.
    how do I make the same operation in Indesign.
    thanks

    Hi, Peter S.
    >I can see that as a shortcut to printing a page of different cards for multiple people, but to do a simple n-up of a single card it seems overly complex to me. What am I missing?
    * It's just an alternative to copy/paste and step/repeat.
    * For a one-time only use, perhaps it's a little more complex than necessary. But for any future needs, only the content of the data file needs to be changed, either by editing, or by pointing to a new data file. If different cards for multiple people becomes necessary, it's ready to go.
