Batch printing linked PDFs

The Batch Print PDFs tool allows you to print a set of PDFs in a spreadsheet that were linked using the Send to CaseMap utility in CaseMap. Documents that were manually linked to records in a spreadsheet will not be included. Only spreadsheets with linked documents (e.g., Documents) will be printed. The Batch Print PDFs feature can be accessed from Reports ribbon > Batch Print.

The Batch Print Wizard allows you to select which files you want to print and includes color and annotation print options. See About DocManager and Batch printing linked documents.

 

You must have Adobe® Acrobat v6.0+ (Standard or Professional) installed on the same computer as CaseMap to use this tool. This feature is not available to use with Adobe® Reader.

We recommend you use this feature only when you really need to print all selected documents at one time. The printer selected may be tied up printing hundreds of pages and other staff may not have access to it for some time. Be certain your printer has adequate paper and ink to accommodate the number of pages being printed. And alert other staff prior to printing. For an alternative print option, see Embedding linked documents in reports.
