Hello.
 
I have a client that has multiple PDFs hosted online. There is a master PDF with a form, where the user selects certain options, and then, at the end, has a page in the PDF with multiple documents to download and print.
 
Is there a way, once we populate the javascript with the URL of the PDFs to be downloaded, to send them all to the printer at one time?
 
This will be for about 15,000 users across the state, so I expect a mix of platforms and versions of Acrobat.
 
Thank you,
David

One option would be to embed a script into those files that prints them when they are opened.
If you run this code on the files (in a batch process, for example, or through the console), it will do just that.

this.addScript("Init", "this.print({bUI: false});");
