    Default Printing multiple copies of PDF causes hugeamounts of data to be sent to printer...

    Whenever I need to print multiple copies of a PDF file Acrobat sends the complete file for each and every copy. This really chokes the RIP or laserprinter and takes many times longer to print than needed.

    It seems it is something to do with the CS3 software for Intel Macs and the issue has been around for a long time... My only solution at this stage is to print PDFs from the Preview app (built into OSX).

    Is a proper fix ever going to appear for this issue?? Apparently it has been resolved in InDesign - why not in Acrobat?
