Adobe Reader DC - Print multiple files

  • July 6, 2016

Adobe Reader DC now allows the opening of multiple PDFs at a time. These then show in separate tabs.

However, there does not seem to be any way to print all of the tabs. You can only print one document at a time.

This functionality is available in Foxit Reader, but does not appear to be in Adobe Reader.

Can anybody assist?

Thanks

Craig

    Hi craigb6827520 ,

    With Acrobat Reader DC it is not possible to print documents in batch.

    Acrobat Reader DC is a free product with limited functionality.

    You would need Acrobat DC to perform this task .Acrobat DC is a paid version .

    Let us know if you need any further help .

    I'm using Reader to print multiple documents:

    1. Set Acrobat Reader as your default PDF app.
    2. Set the desired destination printer as the default printer.
    3. Put the PDFs you want to print in the same folder.
    4. In Windows File Explorer, highlight the files, right-click, and select Print.

    The files are opened one by one in Reader and printed out. The order seems a bit random. Slow, but it works.

    On a Mac and Reader DC you can highlight all the PDFs you want to print at once > right click > Quick Actions > Create PDF (may or may not be there) which will then combine all the PDFs into one long document that you can then open and print all pages. Honestly, you shouldn't have to pay a premium for such a basic function.

    How do you do this from Acrobat DC?  Basically, I need to print many files to one pdf file.  Amending the file each time without having to choose the file name or without having to rename each file then selecting all and merging to one file.  Does Acrobat DC have this capability with automating this process?  Thank you!
