Re: [PDF] how to do batch printing of multiple documents with adobe with no manual intervention?

[Jim McPhee]

If the Acrobat Reader can’t be called to print several
documents in a row, what FREE product, program or
utility would companies use to batch print several of
these PDF (FDF) documents without manual intervention? 
(It seems like there are a lot of folks on the Adobe
forums trying to do the same thing...they sometimes
call it “silent print.”)

There are ways to accomplish the silent batch printing of  FDF's.  FREE, however, is not one that I have heard of.  It is not an easy accomplishment and printer set ups can cause glitches that have to be worked around.

Feel free to contact me off list if you are interested in discussing the development of such an application.  Unfortunately,  I am not independently wealthy so it will not be FREE.

Sincerely

Jim McPhee

Thanks,

How can i have Acrobat Reader (AR) print a number of
PDF (or FDF) files without “hanging” or without
      

leaving
  

an Adobe Reader running on the task bar?
      

	You can't, at least not without a lot of
    

"scaffolding"
  

around Reader.

	You are trying to get Reader to something that it
isn't 
designed to do, and as such, you either have to accept
those 
limitations and work with them OR attempt to "beat it
into shape".


    

I have an application that generates multiple FDFs
      

for
  

the Adobe Reader to print.  I need to automatically
print all the FDFs generated without manual
intervention.
      

	I would recommend using a tool such as FDFMerge Lite 
(http://www.appligent.com) to merge the FDF/PDF data
into a new PDF 
document and then use Ghostscript
(http://www.ghostscript.org) or 
XpdfViewer (http://www.glyphandcog.com) to print the
new PDF.
