The PDF format preserves document formatting and protects data from being modified. These features make a PDF an ideal choice when saving completed business documents. When creating a complicated business report or compiling your business tax documents, it’s likely that you’ll quickly accumulate numerous PDF files that require printing. Rather than following the tedious process of opening each one individually, use Windows 7/8/10 built-in shortcut to print up to 15 PDFs at a time through Windows Explorer.
1
Press “Win-E” to open Windows Explorer and locate the PDF files you want to print.
2
Click and drag the PDF files into the same folder. Alternatively, click the uppermost folder and enter “type:pdf” without quotes in the Windows Explorer search bar. Doing so brings up a list of all PDF files in that folder and any sub-folders.
3
Hold the “Ctrl” key and click up to 15 PDF, or use “Shift” and then click the first and 15th PDF files to select them if all those 15 PDF listed together.
4
Right-click any selected PDF file and click “Print” to automatically print all the selected files. If you need to print more than 15 PDFs, repeat the procedure, and select the unprinted PDFs.
Warnings
If you select more than 15 PDF files, the Print option will not be available.
Tips
If the PDFs are password-protected, you will be prompted to enter the password for each secured file.
