Hi,

I have created a portfolio and would like to to print multiple collated sets. So, if there are are three documents A, B and C in the portfolio and I want to print 2 sets, then I want the output to be ABCABC in sequence. I do NOT want AABBCC, which is what it currently does when I select 2 copies. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you for any assiatnce.

Maybe I'm not following, but how is that different from just printing the document normally twice?

I have tried to print 2 copies of a portfolio with 26 documents. There is a collate checkbox. This only collates each document, not the entire set. So each document will print twice before printing the next. NOT each document is printed once and then the entire set is printed a second time. There is no dropdown option I can see for collating the entire set.

See if this guidance provides the correct solution:

Thank you. I have already seen this. Unfortunately, it does not provide the solution to my printing query.

Yes, I did noticed that this guidance was very brief. I checked a similar link for Nitro PDF software and the step-by-step guidance is almost identical than that of the Adobe Helpx link for Adobe Acrobat.

It does mention that the option to collate will appear via dropdown menu if multiple selections of files in that PDF portfolio are selected. Which you've already confirmed.

I am going to dig some more info about how to get that option.

In the meanwhile, can you check if this option becomes available if you selected more than three sets of prints instead of only two sets?
