Printing multiple documents in Windows 7 64 bit

Post by Oldjim »

I think I have found a problem.
When I select multiple pdf documents in Windows Explorer and right click I get the usual options including "Open with PDF-Xchange Viewer" and "Print" but when I select print it only prints the first document.
Doing the same thing in Word prints them all.
Is there a setting I need to change

HI Oldjim,

I tested on a Win7 x64 machine and that should work, assuming you have PDF-XChange set as your default PDF Application in Windows it will call the Viewer silently (you won't see it unless you watch the processes for it) to print multiple documents.

Can you check/confirm that
* PDF-XChange is the default PDF Application
* You are running the latest version of the Viewer: http://www.docu-track.com/knowledgebase ... nt-version

thanks
Best regards

Thanks for the quick reply.
Having tried again it now works - I don't know why it didn't before
I have found one problem though. When I was checking what was happening after it failed the first time I was using CutePDF as the default and then it doesn't work properly.
This is because CutePDF doesn't pick up the individual file names and tries to save them with the same name which isn't your problem and, in fact, isn't serious as I don't usually print pdf documents as pdf
