Print multiple PDFs without opening Acrobat?
Does anyone know how to select multiple PDF files in Finder (on a Mac) and just send them to a networked printer? I have a lot of PDFs that I don't want to have to open each one to print them all... it would be much easier to just option click on the files and say Print....
I created an Automator task, but to no avail.... I might have set it up wrong, though, who knows. Thanks, Jon "We should tackle reality in a slightly joking way... otherwise we miss its point." -Lawrence Durrell |

Never knew you could do that!
Now, is there a way to make it automatically scale PDFs to fit the page? I have a PDF that is 24" x 36", and I want to print it on 8.5" x 11" paper. I know how to do that through Acrobat, but when you drag and drop - I don't see that option anywhere...

i just tested it here at work. open the printer que and drop the files into the que. The pdfs are printed with your standart settings. if you need special settings like 8.5"x11" then you should set it as standart and it should work.

I have "fit to printable area" set as a standard setting in Acrobat, but it is printing the PDF at 100%. Should I be setting it somewhere else?

Hey,
Well, 1 option is to merge all the PDFs you wanna print, then you can send 1 file and dont have to send x files. Hope that helps. virtu |

Yeah, that's what I've been doing... just takes more time/steps than I was hoping for.
Oh well - thanks for your help. I definitely learned something! "We should tackle reality in a slightly joking way... otherwise we miss its point." -Lawrence Durrell |

Hello John,
Another option is: You can make an Hotfolder with Acrobat , then drop the PDFs to the Hotfolder and it prints. A friend told me that, i tried it and it almost works for me. I dropped some pdfs to the folder then had to call the action in acrobat. I'll ask him again. I also have to print PDFs scaled to my paper, wanna automate that but never really had time to have a deeper look into it. virtu |
