      I've been tasked with looking for a way to batch print only the first page of multiple PDF's on a Windows System. I made an extensive online search but I either need to use ACTIONS Adobe Acrobat PRO (we have standard) or what I found didn't work.

      I did find that the software callled Bluebeam Revu does this out of the box but management wants a free/scripting solution.

      Any hints or suggestions? Thanks...

        I've never found an easy solution to PDF issues like this. I've had similar, but they wanted a range of pages from hundreds of PDF's.

        Do the free pdf writers have any options?

            CutePDF has as history of being laced with malware from personal experience.

            Nitro PDF might have this functionality.

                PrimoPDF, etc. They are very similar.

                  CutePDF has never been the source of malware. shady distribution sites on the other hand...

                    Sadly I found that Jellybean KeyFinder today had adware in there today.

                      You could use something like PDF Split and Merge and just extract all of the first pages into one PDF and print that.

                        I've used Sumatra PDF in the past to print in batch. Looking at the command line options, it appears to support printing a single page.
