Once installed, launch the program and choose to add specific files or scan a folder full of documents by clicking the appropriate button. A full list of what’s supported and required is listed on the PrintConductor website. It does require, however, that parent applications are installed – Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, for example, and Word/Excel/PowerPoint 97 or later. PrintConductor works with a fairly broad section of files: word processing documents, Excel spreadsheets, Adobe PDFs, PowerPoint, AutoCAD files, HTML and a handful of others. Freebie batch print tools are thin on the ground, but PrintConductor is one such tool that’s worthy of consideration. What you need is a program that can do all the hard work for you: all you have to do is select your files, and it’ll send each one to the print in sequence without requiring you to fire up different programs or go crazy with Print dialogue boxes. And if you suddenly need to print a large batch of documents of different file types – say a couple of spreadsheets here, a few PDFs there and a handful of word processing documents for good measure – then you can waste a fair amount of time firing up each program in turn, opening each document independently and then selecting File > Print for each one. One of the biggest drawbacks of any program’s Print dialogue box is that it can only handle one file at a time.
