How to print first page of multiple pdfs in a folder

So I'm using Acrobat X and I'm trying to print the first page of all the PDF's in a single folder... i have gotten as far as using a java script to just print the first page of the PDF that is currently open but i can not figure out how to use that command on every PDF in the folder or even just the selected PDF's.

this is the script im using inside acrobat for printing the first page:

this.print


({


bUI: false,


nStart: 0,


bSilent: true,


bShrinkToFit: true


});

Any ideas would be great help, Thanks

If you have Acrobat Pro create a new Action (Tools - Action Wizard) and add your JS code as it's command.

Then run it on your files.

If you have Acrobat Standard (ie, not Pro) then you can't do it.

I have it in the action Wizard already... How do I run on all the files in the folder?

Select the folder under the Input part of the Action.
