How to print all the files in a folder without opening each one?

Using Windows 8, in the year 2017, the suggested fix doesn't work.  After reading many other suggestions at other threads found by googling, and trying several of them, the only one that worked was a free program called PDF2Printer Batch Print (comes with PDF2Printer for Windows 8).  See http://www.win8pdf.com/pdf-to-printer.html.  It's surprising that neither Windows nor Adobe Acrobat can accomplish this simple task (though of course Windows does a great job printing Office files from a folder).

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how to print all files contained within a folder? I often need to print many files contained within a folder and this would save me a great deal of time!

Thanks!

It can be done by two methods.

Method - 1

(a) Select the PDF file / files (maximum allowable 15 at a time for this method).

(b) Right click on the any of the selected PDF file.

(c) Follow through the Default Windows Right Click menu to find 'Print'

(d) Click on it... your files will be printed in background process (it may delay / vary printing time according to your file sizes chosen for print).

Method - 2

Install any Software related to this type of Printing.

if not aware of this, i will tell you the one i am using. its pretty good option.

Software : Print Conductor (Google It for more info) or follow official website below

In method 1 - it will print only to the default printer to default size set by you.

But this software will be better if you have more than 1 Printer and in network printing mode.

This helps you to Choose The Printer and desired sizes of Paper available in market Such as A-series (A5/A4/A3/A2/A1/A0) and Letter Sizes.

Hope This Helps You and Others Friends.

HAPPY PRINTING :)

Now since I want to print the files in a different size (say default is letter and I want to print the files in legal), is there anyway to open the print setting dialog box? what do I do?

Thank you so much for this information.  My co-worker and I have to print over 300 files monthly.  We were having to open each one to print.  I used print-conductor this month and all I can say is "WOW! What a difference."  Thank you again.
