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.

  • How can I print a pdf file in Windows 8?

    I'm new to Windows 8. How can I print a pdf file in Windows 8?

    Well, you can install Adobe Reader XI - not the version for Windows 8 tablets, but the one for regular PCs. This is just the same in Windows 8 as other systems, and can print. The tablet reader, which also runs on PCs, can't print.

  • How do I print a pdf file from windows 8?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,
    Alastair
    SPEC:

    Acrobat Pro ver 9.4.1

    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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

    That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

  • Cannot print a pdf file when the pdf file is opened in another window

    Running FF8.0 I cannot print a pdf file when the file is contained in a separate window opened by the appl (not just another tab). Options -> options -> applications all point to Use Adobe Applications in Firefox. I've had this problem in 7.0, 6.0, etc but I believe I was finally able to print these external browser/adobe windows somehow. Printing a pdf file shouldn't be that tough. When I run into this situation, file can be printed from the external window by IE.

    Check the document properties (Security) for this file in Adobe Reader; perhaps printing is not allowed?
