I need to Batch Print individual PDFs in a folder 

there are 1325 pdfs

I'm trying to set it up where it'll print 3 copies of each pdf in numerical order

example:

pdf1 - 3 copies one-sided -stapled upper left corner

pdf2- 3 copies one-sided -stapled upper left corner

pdf3 - 3 copies one-sided -stapled upper left corner

... and so on

 

I'm able to set the preferences up in the print queue but it wouldn't print in numerical order nor will it staple

any help is greatly appreciated

Is the length of each file the same? If so, I would merge the files and then use a script for the printing. The problem with doing it using an Action is that it's very difficult to control the order in which the files are processed.

Another option is to put the file names into a text file and then have a script read that file, open the files described in it in that order, and then print them, one by one.
