Windows 10: windows limit of 15 print

By default windows is configured for maximum 15 files selection for printing. There is registry tweek to increase it. I do not want to print hard copies. I want to use MS pdf printer or pdf creator. I need to select around 50000 one page files for print to pdf. Can I increase the windows limit of print to 50000.

:)

 

How can I print a file directly from Windows Explorer in Windows 10?

This isn't new to Windows 10, but I know what you're talking about. It's a limit on how many. If you highlight more than 15 icons, you cannot print. This limit was also in Windows 7 and 8 also (see

here).

 

Issues with Printing PDFs from Windows Explorer

Hello fellow Windows 10 users!

I have a problem:

There was once a time (on previous versions of Windows) when you could print multiple PDF files from Windows explorer (please correct me if I am wrong in stating this!)!

As this can be very helpful, I would like to continue doing this in Windows 10 but can't seem to get it to work as I would like. I am attempting to print 25 PDFs at: A3, landscape, Greyscale. I am aware of the limit you can print from windows explorer (15
on my installation) and this is all being attempted using 15 or less PDFs.

My problem is: using the print command (select up to 15 PDFs and right click - then click "print"). This starts the process of printing (one at a time in my printer job list), however, even when my printer settings are set to print: A3, Black and White,
IT WON'T PRINT LIKE THAT.

I am at my wits end people! Please help me!

Regards,

Chasm

I do not know if this will work in W10 but it is worth a try. Note that you may need to create the DWORD entry yourself and set it to a value of 50000. (See the Note at the end of the article)

 

Thanks. I set it to 1000 for test purpose around 15 minutes ago and it seems system is hanged or doing something in the background. Waiting for the outcome. Note: I am not printing physically but printing to pdf.

 

It kept hanged for half an hour then I shut down the pc.
Any solution that which free software can handle 50000 conversion to pdf very fast without changing layout and could keep files size very less.
