Print multiple PDF files with Java as a single print job (physical print)

Question

I would like to print several PDF files from java (using the java print service) in one print job.

I would like to send several PDF files as a single job to the printer. This means that all the documents in my "batch" print together and do not alternate with someone else when I pick them up from the printer.

The package potentially consists of 1000 print jobs.

I tried jpedal but it does not support java.awt.print.Book

        Book book = new Book();
        PdfDecoder pdfDecoder = readFileApplyOptions("C:/Temp/singlepagetest.pdf", pageFormat);
        book.append(pdfDecoder, pageFormat);

        PdfDecoder pdfDecoderTwo = readFileApplyOptions("C:/Temp/printfax-test.pdf",pageFormat);
        book.append(pdfDecoderTwo, pageFormat);

        printJob.setPageable(book);
        printJob.print();

Only the first PDF file is output. How to print multiple PDF files in one job?

readFileAndApplyOptions () basically creates a new PdfDecoder object and returns it.

          else {
              Printable pp = pages.elementAt(pageIndex);
              return pp.print(g, pf, 0);

Answer 4

AFAIK, you cannot, several documents will be printed in several tasks.

A workaround is to combine all PDF documents into one document and print them.
