Printing order

Post by zokipepo »

If I want to print different documents opened in separate tabs even if I open them in certain order they do not come up printed in the same order. This is waisting of time when organizing the printed papers afterwards since I print a lot of them and I need them organized by number. Is there any way to make this work with PdfXchange viewer?

Hi zokipepo,

What do you mean by not printed in order, as there is no "pint all opened documents" or similar feature in our Viewer.
Are you sending e.g. a 100 page and then a single page documents to your printer? In this case the spooling of the first file might take longer than you need to send the second one for printing - and this can "mess" your printed results.

If that is not the case please do provide us some more information so we can help you further.

Regards,
Stefan

What I mean is that I work in a accounting program and save docs in PDF. Docs created are in some order let say calc.1,calc.2, calc.3 etc. They are saved in a folder. Then I need them printed. I open them from the folder with ctrl+A>Enter and then when they show up in separate tabs they are not in the same order with the folder where they where initially created are opened from. So in tabs they appear for eg. calc.2, calc.3, calc.1. What I need and think would be a good solution for Your program is if tabs into program are shown in order same like they were created. Since I create around 30-40 docs each session it takes a lot of time to get them organized in the proper order. I hope You would consider this.

Sincerely,
Zoran

Just open your files in the order you need them -- The application does not know which order is good for you. When you press Ctrl+A and hit enter, windows generates a list of files (and we can not know is what order the files would be in that list) and launches our application whith the names of those files as argument. The application (in our case - PDF-XChange viewer) opens these files in the order in which they are passed to it.

Thnx so far. I would like to know if there is a way of opening the files in the order they were created either with CTRL+A>Enter or from within the program Open>.... Just to mention that I was able to do this (Ctrl+A>Enter) with Foxit when I was using it, so the files were opened the way I liked. Do not know how those in Foxit managed to handle this, but I would like this thing imlemented in Your program.
Thnx again,
Z
