Printing multiple pdf files at once

I have tons of invoices I need to print up. They were things I should have printed along all year, but I opted to save as pdf instead, now I need them on paper! Is there a way, perhaps with a workflow or 3rd party software, that I can select them in the finder and print them without opening each individual file and printing them one at a time? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I also have a need to print many PDF documents from the same folder. Your recommendation to drag the files to the printer icon almost does the trick. The problem is that the printout is clipped. If I open and print the individual files I am given the option to fit the document to the paper size and all is well. If I drag directly to the icon no option at all is presented and, in my case, the document size exceeds the paper size. Is there a way to set the "Page Scaling" in the dragging operation? I have an Epson R340 printer.
Thanks for any help you can give.

  • PRINTING A PDF FILE AT ONCE?

    I CANNOT PRINT A PDF FILE AT ONCE. I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOWNLOADED FILES AND THEN PRINT THE FILE THAT I WANT. WHAT CAN I DO SO THAT I CAN PRINT THE PDF FILE WITH ONE CLICK?

    You cannot do this from Preview but Acrobat Reader gives you this function.

  • Printing multiple PDF files in Windows 7 at once

    When I had Windows XP I could select multiple pdf files in their folder then right click to print.  With Windows 7 this option is no longer there. I have searched everywhere for a solution to this problem.  I am not sure why Adobe (or Microsoft) took this option away.  I have to print 30 to 40 invoices a day.  I now currently have to open each individual document, print, close, and move on to the next.  This is quite cumbersome.  If anyone knows of a way around this I would appreciate the help. 
    If no solution is available does Abode know of the situation? 

    your right.  I am using Acrobat.  didn't even know I had it. I've been bugging the IT guy for Acrobat for a while.  I have no idea how long it's been installed.  I had just bugged him again last week.
    reader is still set as my default.  without even realizing it, i've only been using acrobat to combine and print large files.
    the only way to combine pdf's in reader is to use Adobe's online service which you have to pay for.
    I'm sure there's some third party software out there.    I use bluebeam to mark up pdf's.  it's free.
    don't know if it can be used to print or combine multiple files.  never tried.
    the method of dragging and dropping pdf files into the printer window does work with reader. (I checked)
    As I said, it prints the documents out of order which can be a pain.
    I found this discussion because I was searching for a way to get the documents to print in order.  Haven't found one......yet.

  • Why am I unable to open multiple PDF files at once?

    I'm trying to open and view 28 PDF files, but am unable to do so.  I have recently upgraded my computer and am now using Windows 7 with 12 GB of RAM.  On my older system I was able to open this many PDF files at once, but now I am not able to do so.  I can selects and open about 10 PDF files, but when I choose more than that and right-click on the files I do not get an option to open the files.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Select 10 files and open the files, then select and open the next 10 files.

  • Bug in Preview in Snow Leopard when opening multiple pdf files at once

    I receive 50-200 pdf files by e-mail each day. I have historically saved the pdf attachments to a folder, then selected all the pdf files in the folder (CMD A), then opened all the selected files in Preview (CMD O). After updating to Snow Leopard, downloading 34 pdf files to a folder, selecting them all, then attempting to open them all in Preview (using both CMD O, then File/Open, then File/Open With), the effort first opens 6 of the 34 files. Closing all then trying again results in 7 files being opened, closing all then trying again results in 8 files being opened, etc etc. Earlier today I had the same results, but eventually got a message asking if I wanted to open all in separate windows (I did) or a single window, and it opened all the files at once as I wanted. After shutting down, moving home, and receiving additional pdf files, however, back to the same open 5, then open 6, etc. problem. Anyone else having this problem or a suggestion on how to resolve?
    Thanks for suggestions,
    B

    More info - apparently the bug isn't related to Preview, but to the attempt to open all pdf files in the folder with ANY program. After having Preview open 25 of the 34 files I was attempting to open, I then tried opening all 34 with Adobe Reader. It opened 26 (after Preview had opened 25). Tried again with Preview - it opened 27, then 28 with Adobe Reader. It doesn't necessarily open the FIRST 25 (or 26, etc) either, so it's difficult to work with the open ones, then go back and work with the remaining ones later.

  • How can I error-check multiple pdf files at once?

    There are programs online but they're too costly.  Isn't there sometime Adobe has built-in where I can hilight an entire list of pdf files and check for errors to see if one of them is giving a font-issue error or etc.
    I'm using Windows 7 and we have different versions of Adobe installed in our office, so if I know which version has what I want that'll help, too.
    Thanks.

    GKaiseril is correct ... Acrobat X Pro you create an action to Start With "A Folder on My Computer" (if there are multiple files in the folder you can set options to ignore them).  Then add the step "Accessibility Check (Full)" and  "Full Check" to that action.

  • How can I print only the first page of multiple PDF files at once in my PC?

    That is, without having to open each file individually.
    Thanks!

    Create an Action with the following JS command:
    this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0});
    This will cause the first page of all the files you process with this Action to be sent to your default printer.
    If you need to specify more complex parameters, you'll need to use a more complex code...

  • How can I print multiple pdf files?

    Some of the pdf documents we work with are are architectural plans. One file might contain several pages or it might contain just one. Typically we will print several files at a time, either by opening each or just dragging to the printer. A frustrating part of this is that we cant seem to control the order in which they print, ie file1..file2..file3.
    Using Reader 8.1.2. Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • How can you convert multiple PDF files at once to PDF/A-1b files

    I support individuals who on occasion have to submit a mass of files to a court and the requirement is that the files be in PDF/A format. Most are scanned files lacking the requisite structure to become PDF/A-1a files. So as I convert or resave files, I need to be able to specify that they be converted to the PDF/A-1b standard. And since it may involve over 100 files, it would be very inefficient to do so individually, file by file. Could this be done via an Action Wizard sequence? Could a script be written in Java that go through such a process, specifically choosing a PDF/A standard? Any insights would be appreciated.

    PDF/A-1a is very easy to automate in Acrobat XI Pro, indeed the compliance code was rewritten specifically with this in mind. Test Screen Name is correct that PDF/A-1b can't be realistically automated due to the complexity of tagging, but that's not your concern.
    In Acrobat XI Pro, create a new Action with no functional steps in it, then add the Save step.
    Click 'Settings' and change the output format to "Export File(s) to Alternate Format"
    Choose PDF/A from the list. It doesn't say so, but that's A-1b.
    I suggest using the file renaming feature so you're not overwriting the originals (e.g. append "_A1B")
    Save the Action and run it.
    Files with security, distributed forms, etc. can't be converted but the Acrobat engineering team claim that everything which can possibly be shoehorned into PDF/A will always succeed. In previous versions of Acrobat it often failed when it encountered things like iffy XMP data.

  • How to batch print multiple PDFs in Mac OS X?

    Does anyone know of any new software that allows one to batch print multiple PDF files with a print dialogue for the first file, followed by dialogue-less printing for the rest?
    I work for an architect's firm and we often find ourselves printing dozens of A1 PDFs, going through the print dialogue window for each file.
    We used to be able to batch print when Preview.app could open multiple PDFs in one window; it lost this capability in a regression when it gained bookmarks and we've been living in batch print stone age ever since.
    (A desktop printer doesn't work by the way)

    Open one of the PDFs in Preview then drag the rest of the files into the sidebar. Print the resulting file. If you don't want to save it as a single PDF just select 'Don't Save' when you exit.
    Wow! I've been asking this question repeatedly for a couple of years now and you're the first person to mention this. Thanks a lot. There will be some happy campers in our office, I tell ya.
    I missed it because all the large PDFs we create include a table of contents and you have to switch to thumbnail view before you can drag and drop additional PDFs.
    With the type of files we produce It takes 30 seconds or so to add 8 files together, so it's not ideal but it's a lot faster and more convenient than Acrobat Pro or printing each file separately.
    Another option is to open the printer window and drag all the files into it. They will print automatically with no dialog box.
    This doesn't work because you can't choose the size of paper you want to print to.
    Thanks again, your first post too.

  • Concatenate multiple pdf files into one single postscript file

    Hi,
    Could anyone help me with a code to "Concatenate Multiple pdf files into one single postscript file" ?
    Thanks for the help

    Thanks for your reply! Actually the main purpose is to allow user to select multiple pdf documents on a single web page and then he should be able to print all of them at once by hitting the print button on the web page instead of selecting each document seperately to print it. Also he should be able to see all the printing services available to print those documents.
    Thanks,

  • Printing Multiple PDF documents on the fly

    Hello all,
    I am looking for a solution for printing the documents to a PDF file. My requirement is that from the application, I can select a set of documents (say 50 numbers) and give for print. The program is in MS access. The MS access opens the report required for generating the documents, pulls the data from the database and generated the document. this will in turn go to a default printer set on the application server. The program repeats for all the 50 dcouments and prints each of them in paper.
    All I need know is instaed of printing, all the documents should get mergerd to a single PDF file. Once all the documents are merged I can give it an appropritae name and save it.
    Do let us know this is possible by installing a PDF printer driver from adobe on the application server. Will it automatically convert all the prints given at one go to a PDF file or any change in code is required to do it.
    Regards
    Cherian

    FYI, when you use the Adobe PDF Print driver that comes with Acrobat, the PDF Producer won't say "Adobe PDF Converter".
    When using the Adobe PDF Print driver, you should see:
    Application: Pscript5.dll 5.x.x
    PDF Producer: Acrobat Distiller X.x.x
    If your document says "Adobe PDF Converter" then it was created by 3rd party software, most likely this package:
    http://www.clicktoconvert.com/pages/adobe_pdf_converter/index.htm
    That is NOT Adobe software.  Please clarify what version of Reader/Acrobat you are using so that we can properly help you.  If you need help with your 3rd party PDF print driver, you should contact the company that developed it.

  • Print multiple PDFs from Windows Explorer causes Acrobat Pro 9.4 crash

    I sometimes need to create a batch of PDFs independently, after which it suits me to print them all as a single job. FYI I am running Acrobat Pro 9.4 under Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    The sequence of the problem as follows:
    - With Acrobat closed, I go to the directory containing my multiple PDF files using Windows Explorer.
    - I highlight between three and six PDF docs (each individual doc is small, one page, black and white only).
    - I use the "Print" option made available within Windows Explorer.
    It's clear that the system then tries to use Acrobat to print these docs, however I consistently get the same behaviour - some print, some do not, but on every occasion I receive the error "Adobe Acrobat 9.4 has stopped working".
    Any ideas? Annoying for a paid-for piece of pro software although, granted, not on a level with famine in the third world it would be nice to have all the functionalities working correctly. If it helps my machine spec is below.
    Thanks,

    It may partly be a 64-bit issue since AA is apparently a 32-bit application that can run in the 64-bit environment (not that familiar with 64-bit systems, so I may not be stating it correctly. However, I would start by going to the Control Panel>Programs and Features and do a repair on your Acrobat installation. That will hopefully resolve the issue.
