Action Wizard - Printing multiple PDFs

In the Action Wizard I created a new print action under More Tools, Print.  I unchecked the box Prompt User.  But when I load my 200 PDFs file from a folder and hit Start, it processes each PDF on my screen and ties up my computer so I cannot use any other program.  I cannot minimize either.  How do I get it to print multiple PDFs without processing each one on my screen, one by one?

You could try merging all of the files into a Portfolio, this will give you the option to print the selected pdf in the portfolio or all pdfs, I don't know if this will skip the user prompt and add a staple, it's just a guess.

Merge the files, then print that single file.

they are individual client statements that are stapled so it cannot be one continous file.

Our printer does not have print commands to merging them created one large file that was stapled and not the 4 individual files I needed stapled.  Is there a way to avoid having Adobe show the files processing?  that would eliminate tying up my computer.

See if you can set up a folder on another system that you can drop your PDFs into. The other system can be set up to scan the folder for documents to print.
