Selecting Tray while batch printing pdf

[Bill_Shamburg@adobeforums.com]

I currently am trying to print a series of PDF files in a batch mode. The print must come out in sequence and select from various trays (some will print on white paper and some on blue). Using batch script I can get all the files to print in sequence out of the same tray. I also can get them printing from the correct tray by setting up 2 printers with different print preferences. However, when I print that way the sequence gets lost. I am trying to determine if this can be done using SDK. If so, could someone point my in the right direction.

Thank you

Yes this can be done via the SDK and the plug-in interface provided that you are using a PostScript printer. If you are then you inject the tray selection code out of the printer ppd by capturing the PDDocWillPrintDoc notification and using SetPageDevice.

Are you describing an existing plug-in or one I would need to write? I cannot find anything on PDDocWillPrintDoc or SetPageDevice.

Thank you
