Custom button on toolbar to print current PDF to a preselected printer?

New Here ,
Apr 23, 2020 Apr 23, 2020

We have a new cloud based application we are using for our accounting processes.  When cutting checks, our old application would send the print job directly to our cheque printer.  Our new system opens a PDF representing the cheque and we then need to use actobat to print to the cheque printer.  The problem we are facing is that we must always remember to select the cheque printer before we hit print.  As a result, sometimes we are sending cheques to our office printer and other times we are sending other PDF documents to the cheque printer. 

 

Is there a way in the Customize section of acrobat ("Create Custom Tool", "Action Wizard", "Javascript") to add a button on the toolbar which we can use with one click to send the current PDF document (check) to a preselected printer (check printer) so that we don't have to use the regular print dialog?

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

In Acrobat Pro, and Action or Command icon can be dragged and dropped into the QuickTools bar.

You could also write a folder level script to create a toolbar button:
