Print documents in a PDF package

They should print in the order they appear; however, what you see on the screen, can be different from this order because of the display sorting options. Have you tried to "Sort by Modified" date to list them in the order they are stored in the PDF.

Not exactly sure I understand your answer. So are you saying that it will print based on the files modified date? Are you talking about the original files modify date or the date/time when you inserted in the package? Either way, who would want to do that? When you create a package it allows you to put your documents in the order you want them in the package (move up / move down) This is also the way I think most users would want to print them. I would also assume that is what the help file is saying it will do.

I am trying to print my PDF portfolio in the specific order that I created the layout. I added a Sort Order column and numbered it 1 - 20 for each PDF, and tried printing it. However, the pages did not print in the Sort Order I created - it seems to have printing the PDFs alphabetically. How do I get it to print in the order I requested by adding the Sort Order column?

Does anyone have an answer to this question? My package keeps printing out alphabetically as opposed to the order in which they appear.

That was a confusing answer from the admin. Anyway the modified date is the factor that determines how they printed, no matter how have them appear. This is true in Acrobat 8. The if you want to control the order, just display them in the order you want them to print, and ctrl+b your way down the list, inserting a bookmark into each document. Renaming the file does not counot as modifying, but a bookmark will do it. Then save the package, and send to printer.

I have the same issue. I have bookmarked the files that I combined when I initally created this file. The file does not print by my bookmark. I need to have this corrected my customer who I prepared this file for is not happy. Please advise.
