kiffab Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi Guys I'm trying to workaround a problem by bulk printing a bunch of documents. They are in PDF format and I have managed to dig out a list of them from a database. Is it possible to automate the printing part using something like pdf creator? If so, any pointers? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If you have Acobat Reader installed you can use command line switches to print a file:"Print a PDF file silently: AcroRd32.exe /N /T PdfFile PrinterName [ PrinterDriver [ PrinterPort ] ]" My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiffab Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks. This looks useful. I can do it for a single print but it complains when trying to print via batch file. AcroRd32.exe /N /T "c:pdfpds1.pdf" myprinter AcroRd32.exe /N /T "c:pdfpdf2.pdf" myprinter c:program files.........acrord32.exe is not a valid win32 application.

water Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Using a program with defined parameters shouldn't break it.
