Please help!!!! Almost daily I receive HTML emails with 11 or more pdf
attachments that need to be printed. How may I print these attachments all
at once without opening each one? I tried the File-Print-Print attachments,
and it prints only the 1st page of each attachment not all pages.
It works here, so I guess there's something wrong with the program that
prints your PDF files - probably Adobe Acrobat Reader. Does it work if
you open such a PDF file from within the message and print it then?
Quite a few add-ons which do this are listed at

subject has also been discussed extensively in various newsgroups.
Doing the same in VBA is quite involved. You need to save the
attachments somewhere, invoke the "print" verb from the registry for
that document class with the API ShellExecute, delete the files again,
but not before the printing process is finished.
Incidental and IMO: printing daily 11 or more PDF attachments seems to
negate the advantages of electronic document distribution via PDF and
e-mail. You might want to review your business practices.
