Hi @AJ Singh

You have idea about powershell i will copy some powershell script command just execute. it will all documents.

before print please make sure which is default printer. to set default printer go to settings > Bluetooth & devices> printer & scanners>click your printer > set default.

change your directory path instead of "C:\PDFs"

first test some documents 10 - 15 files. if its ok then execute bulk quantity.

$printer = (Get-Printer | Where-Object {$_.Default}).Name
$files = Get-ChildItem "C:\PDFs" -Filter *.pdf
foreach ($file in $files) {
    Start-Process -FilePath $file.FullName -Verb Print -PassThru | Wait-Process
}

Thanks.

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

Edge’s built-in PDF viewer is mainly designed to open and print one PDF at a time. If the PDF files are already saved on your PC, try printing them from File Explorer instead.

Open the folder where the PDFs are saved. Select several PDF files, right-click one of them, then choose Print. If the Print option does not appear, try selecting fewer files first, such as 10 to 15 at a time, because Windows may not show all right-click options when too many files are selected.

Also check what app is set as the default PDF reader. Batch printing depends on the default PDF app, not only Microsoft Edge.

Are these PDF letters saved in one folder already? Also, when you select multiple PDFs and right-click them, do you see a Print option?
