Answer 1

Hi @Kittykat,

If you're trying to do this in an ASP.NET application, I don't think it's the right choice.

In ASP.NET you don't print anything, the user prints it. You can only open the print dialog box.

Maybe you could choose a desktop application to try, such as Windows Forms or WPF.

To print a pdf file from the browser you need to load the pdf into a window and the user selects print and picks the printer.

To print 2 pdf file, you need to open two windows. The server can not does, the client must. You can write JavaScript that clicks on two anchor links.
