Total PDF Printerx is a web-server solution to print many PDF files in batches via command line or ActiveX.

Total PDF Printer X is the best way to automatically print dozens of PDF files on web-servers. You set the command line and leave it do the job. Total PDF PrinterX does not interfere with any other applications and does not require your attention (silent printing).

Total PDF PrinterX can print PDF files by file date or time order.
Unique option - Separator sheet. The app adds a blank page or any file you choose in between documents. It's great for duplex printing. The files with an odd number of pages are safe. Besides, separator sheets help you to divide documents in the stack of your printer.
Auto-rotate and fit-to-page options help you process a lot of different PDF files in one go.
The app can also add page numbers or any text watermarks (copywrite info, company name, etc.) to each sheet.

Note that Total PDF PrinterX runs on Windows servers only.

Total PDF PrinterX Customer Reviews 2026

Rate It Rated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews

"Scanprint Logistics is a warehouse, where we store and distribute products for our customers. We are using TotalPDFPrinterX together with TotalFolderMonitor to automate printing of PDF-files from our customers and our ERP-system. Our customers upload PDF-files (EG. Invoices) to our FTP-server, and then TotalPDFprinterX prints them out, so we can include them with the goods we send out."

Command-Line Examples

Total PDF Printer X ships with PDFPrinterX.exe, a console binary you can drive from scripts, scheduled tasks, print-server hooks, or any backend service that needs paper output. The flag set matches the GUI PDFPrinter.exe; for the full reference see the command-line documentation. Note that the destination argument is a printer name, not a file path — output goes to physical or network printers, not to disk.

1. Print one PDF to the default printer

The smallest possible call. Omit the printer name and the document goes to whatever Windows considers the current default printer.

PDFPrinterX.exe "C:\docs\invoice.pdf"

2. Print to a specific named printer

-p accepts the friendly printer name as it appears in the Windows Printers panel, or any unique fragment of it.

PDFPrinterX.exe "C:\docs\invoice.pdf" -p "HP LaserJet M404"

Partial matches work too — -p HP will pick the first printer whose name contains "HP".

3. Print only a page range

For long PDFs where you need a few sheets — cover page, signature page, a single chapter — use -rn to limit the printed range.

PDFPrinterX.exe "C:\docs\contract.pdf" -p "Office Printer" -rn "1-3,7,12-14"

4. Print multiple copies, duplex, on A4

Typical office case: hand out N copies of the same document, both sides, A4. -NumCopy sets the copy count, -d vertical enables long-edge duplex, -ps A4 forces paper size.

PDFPrinterX.exe "C:\docs\handout.pdf" -p "HP LaserJet M404" -NumCopy 25 -d vertical -ps A4

5. Print every PDF in a folder by mask

Point the binary at a wildcard and it prints each matching file as a separate job. Useful for nightly batches of generated reports.

PDFPrinterX.exe "C:\reports\daily\*.pdf" -p "Reports Printer" -sort name

Add -Recurse to include subfolders, or -combine to send the whole batch as one merged print job instead of one job per file.

6. Print to a network printer over UNC

Shared printers on a Windows print server are addressed by their share name. Pass the UNC path verbatim to -p.

PDFPrinterX.exe "C:\docs\report.pdf" -p "\\PRINTSRV01\Accounting-HP" -t "Q3 Report" -cl monochrome

-t sets the job title shown in the Windows print queue, which makes the job easy to find or cancel.

7. Drive a print queue from a list file

When an external worker writes a queue file and the printer consumes it, you don't want the file paths in the command line itself. -list reads file masks (one per line) from a plain text file.

PDFPrinterX.exe -list "C:\queues\print-queue.txt" -p "Office Printer" -fo

-fo forces processing without prompts; combine with -do if the queue worker also expects originals to be deleted after a successful print.

8. Server-side run with a detailed log

Once PDFPrinterX.exe runs as a service or scheduled task, the log is the only signal of what actually happened. -verbosity detail writes one line per file; -logmode append keeps history across runs; -xmllog emits a parser-friendly companion file.

PDFPrinterX.exe "C:\spool\*.pdf" -p "Warehouse Label Printer" -log "C:\logs\pdfprint.log" -verbosity detail -logmode append -xmllog "C:\logs\pdfprint.xml"

Who Uses Total PDF PrinterX?

IT teams that automate batch PDF printing on Windows servers via command line and ActiveX

Enterprise Printing

Automated Server-Side Printing

Print PDF files on servers without any user interaction

IT departments deploy Total PDF PrinterX on Windows servers to print incoming PDF documents automatically. The application runs silently with no GUI or pop-up messages, printing batches of PDFs via command line on schedule — ideal for invoices, reports, and documents that need to be printed as soon as they arrive.

Finance & Accounting

Invoice & Statement Printing

Batch-print thousands of PDF invoices in date order

Accounting departments print daily batches of PDF invoices, statements, and financial reports sorted by file date or time. Total PDF PrinterX adds page numbers or company watermarks to each sheet, and separator pages between documents keep the printed stack organized for distribution or mailing.

Web & Application Integration

Print-from-Web Applications

Add PDF printing to your web app via ActiveX

Software developers integrate Total PDF PrinterX via ActiveX into web applications, ERP systems, and document management platforms. Users trigger print jobs from a browser, and the server handles printing silently — no desktop software or user intervention required on the server side.

Logistics & Warehousing

Shipping Document Printing

Auto-print packing slips and shipping labels from a server

Warehouses and distribution centers auto-print PDF packing slips, shipping labels, and delivery notes as orders flow in. Auto-rotate and fit-to-page options handle different document sizes without manual adjustment, and duplex-safe separator sheets prevent documents from bleeding across double-sided pages.

Legal & Government

Regulatory & Court Document Printing

Print case files with watermarks and page numbering

Government agencies and legal departments batch-print PDF filings, case documents, and regulatory submissions on dedicated print servers. Add text watermarks with confidentiality notices or copyright information to every page, and stamp page numbers for organized physical records — all hands-free via command line.
