Hi,

One of the features that I use with QPDF is to print PDF files that are in a target folder. Usually I have more than 1000 files in this folder.
I use Visual Basic 6 and the software runs on a Windows 7 machine.

In order not to populate the printer process window (access from Start -> Devices and Printers) with one printer process per file, what I do is to merge a certain amount of files using the "MergeFileList" functionality and then throw a single file to the printer.

Sometimes merging these PDF files take a while...and here is my problem.

I would like know if this is the correct way to do it or if there are another faster way.

Thanks in advance for your help,
AM

If all you are doing is merging files to print than I would use MergeFilesFast. This method doesn't bother to do some of the merging the other command does like bookmarks.
