Acrobat Reader 8 provided a way to print only those PDF files that were selected in a PDF package. The newer version, version 9, does not seem to provide a way to do this. Can somebody tell me if there is a way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Looks like I found the answer to my own question.
The default portfolio layout does not let you print selected PDF files in a PDF portfolio. However, if you change the portfolio layout that capability is available.

With the portfolio open go to the toolbar and choose Modify > Edit Portfolio. The Edit PDF Portfolio panel should display on the right side of your screen. In the Layouts section choose a layout such as Basic Grid or Sliding Row. The capability to print all the PDFs is available in those layouts, but not in others. You then need to save the portfolio with the new settings so it will work in Acrobat Reader.

I need to make a correction to my last post.

I meant to say, the capability to print SELECTED PDFs only are available with those layouts.
