Batch print

Revu can print multiple PDFs at the same time when the desired print conditions for each PDF are the same. How to print multiple PDFs in Revu is described here. The process for printing just one PDF is slightly different and is described elsewhere.

  1. Go to Batch >  Print.
  2. To use a previously saved batch of PDFs, select Load and select the desired file.
  3. Revu automatically adds active PDFs to the process. To add more PDFs, select Add and use one or more of the following methods:
    • Files: Adds individual files from a network or local drive. Selecting this option causes the Open dialog to appear. Navigate to the appropriate location and select the desired files.
    • Open Files: Adds all files currently open in Revu.
    • Open Set: Adds all files contained in the current Set.
    • Folder: Adds all files in a selected folder on a network or local drive, but not files contained in any of its subfolders. Selecting this option causes the Select Folder dialog to appear. Navigate to the desired folder and select it.
    • Folder and Subfolders: Adds all files in a selected folder on a network or local drive as well as all files within any of its subfolders. Selecting this option causes the Select Folder dialog to appear. Navigate to the desired folder and select it.
  4. By default, any document in the Files list will be affected. To remove a document from the Files list, select it then select Remove.
  5. PDFs are printed in the order they appear in the File List. Drag and drop them to change the print order.
  6. To specify which pages of a PDF will be processed, select it, then select the Pages menu and select one of the following options:
    • All Pages: Sets the range to all pages.
    • Current: Sets the range to the current page only.
    • Custom: Sets the range to a custom value. When you select this option, replace any text left in the field with the page or pages to be printed directly. To enter a custom range:
      • Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.
      • Use a comma to define pages that are separated.

      For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.

    • Current View: Limits the process to the current zoom.
    • Even Pages: Limits the process to only even pages.
    • Odd Pages: Limits the process to only odd pages.
    • Landscape Pages: Limits the process to only landscape-oriented pages.
    • Portrait Pages: Limits the process to only portrait-oriented pages.
    • First Page: Limits the process to just the first page of the document.
    • Last Page: Limits the process to just the last page of the document.
  7. To save this batch for future use, select Save and save the batch to a local or network drive.
  8. Set any of the following options, as desired:
    • Name: Lists the available printers on the system.

    • Size: Lists the page sizes available to print. Choose Portrait or Landscape orientation.

    • Print: Defines what streams print. Choose among Document & Markups, Document Only, or Markups Only.

    • Copies: Determines how many copies of the PDF or selected pages will print.

    • Collate: Keeps pages in order when printing multiple copies. For example, if unchecked, two copies of a three-page document will print in this order: 1,1,2,2,3,3. If selected, the order will be 1,2,3,1,2,3. This option is not available when printing only one copy.

    • Reverse: Prints the file in reverse page order.
    • Rotation: Rotates the page content or allows Revu to automatically rotate the content when appropriate.

    • Page Scaling:

      None: Prints the page at full scale.

      Fit to Paper: Expands or shrinks the page to fit the paper size.

      Reduce to Paper: Reduces the page to fit the paper.

      Custom Scale: Activates the Custom Scale field. Enter a custom scale percentage to manually scale the document to the page.

      Fit to Margins: Expands or shrinks the page within the margins of the paper.

      Reduce to Margins: Shrinks the page to fit within the margins of the paper.

      Multiple Pages per Sheet: Prints multiple pages on each sheet of paper. Activates the following additional settings:

      Pages per: Determines the number of pages to a sheet. Choosing a number other than 1 will result in the defined number of pages being shrunk to fit the page.

      Layout: Chooses the orientation and direction of the pages on the sheet.

      Print Border: Draws a box around each page on the sheet to create separation.

    • Center: Automatically centers the content on the page. To manually position the content, turn off this option and enter the X and Y position of the upper-left corner of the content.
    • Dim Page Content: Dims the page content so that annotations appear more prominently in the printout.
    • Dim Filtered Markups: Dims the markups so the content of the page appears more prominently.
    • Print Spaces: Shows Spaces on printed page.
    • Print Visible Hyperlinks: Shows Hyperlink markups that have the "Visible" property enabled on the printed page.
  9. Select Print.
