PDF Batch Printing

Multiple documents for a candidate or employee can be printed simultaneously provided your administrator has enabled this feature.

Batch printing of PDF documents enables Onboarding (Transitions) users to select PDF files associated with a candidate or employee involved in a process and print them as a single document through an Adobe product. When the feature is enabled, a check box is displayed next to each document in the System Documents list (provided this section is displayed on the Process page). Each page can display up to 15 file attachments. The number of PDF documents the user can select for batch printing depends on the maximum batch file size setting.

The system administrator sets the maximum batch file size. The default value is 10MB. If a PDF batch size exceeds the maximum size allowed, the system displays an error message. The error message indicates to the user that the limit has been exceeded and displays the size of the batch the user is attempting to print.

The PDF documents selected are combined into a single document and sent to either Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, depending on what is installed and configured on the user's computer. The Onboarding (Transitions) system creates a generic name for each combined file and opens the Adobe application so the user can print all documents selected at once. During the print session, Onboarding (Transitions) remains available for use.

A record is created in the History section of the Process page. The record includes the codes of the documents that were sent to the Adobe product for printing but does not show if printing was successful.
