Fully Customizable PDF Printing Software for Developers Build Print Workflows Easily

And what do you run into?

Some need a specific tray. Others need duplex. Some are broken files. Then the printer acts up. You try scripting it, but Adobe Reader popups start crashing your batch. Or worse, nothing prints.

I lived this pain.

Back when we were building a workflow tool for a logistics company, we were dumping PDFs into a hot folder and needed them printed automatically with specific settings paper tray, size, offset, the works.

It was hell.

That’s when I found VeryPDF PDFPrint Command Line, and honestly, it was a game changer.

The Tool That Finally Solved It

I’ll be straight I don’t care how pretty a tool looks.

I care if it works. Period.

VeryPDF PDFPrint Command Line is a command-line utility. No GUI. No fluff. But it does the job, fast and quietly.

What It Does

Print PDFs without opening them. No Adobe, no popups, no dialog boxes.
Supports batch printing. Feed it folders of files it’ll chew through them.
Full control over printer settings tray selection, orientation, duplex, scaling, resolution, and more.
Works with local and network printers.
Handles damaged PDFs better than most viewer-based tools.

It also supports a wild range of formats DOCX, PPTX, XPS, HTML, even image files. But let’s stay focused on PDFs here.

Why Devs Love It (Including Me)

If you’re a developer building print workflows this tool is built for you. Here’s how I’ve personally used it:

1. Hot Folder Automation for Logistics Company

They wanted to print invoices from a specific tray with pre-printed letterheads.

We used a script to watch a folder trigger pdfprint.exe with:

bash
pdfprint.exe -printer "InvoicePrinter" -papersource "Tray2" -duplex 2 C:\Invoices\*.pdf

Boom. No user interaction.

2. Preprocessing Broken PDFs

Some files wouldn’t print properly from standard tools. We added:

bash
-preproc

And they worked like magic. It’s like the tool fixes broken PDFs on the fly.

3. Precision Layout Control

Needed exact margins and offsets for label printing.

Added:

bash
-offsetx 50 -offsety 30 -drawmargins "0.5x0.5x0.5x0.5in"

Perfect alignment, every time.

Features That Actually Matter

Here are the standout ones I’ve used over and over:

No need for a PDF viewer installed
Render to image before printing great for legacy printers
Get and switch printer bins/trays with ease
Add watermarks to printed pages (position, colour, font, etc.)
Merge print jobs so everything prints as one job (useful for office printers with job limits)
Secure printing with password support
Works over HTTP/FTP streams super handy for cloud-based pipelines

The People Who’ll Love This Most

If you fall into any of these buckets, this is your tool:

Software developers automating print jobs
IT teams managing shared printers
Operations teams needing precise, hands-off printing
Enterprise devs building internal tools with batch PDF output
Anyone running print queues on Windows (supports 98 through to 11, 32 & 64 bit)

What It’s NOT

It’s not a GUI print manager.

It’s not “plug and play” for your auntie.

This is for devs who want to call printing from scripts, apps, services, batch jobs with full control.

Would I Recommend It?

Absolutely.

I’ve built workflows for printing thousands of PDFs using VeryPDF PDFPrint Command Line and I haven’t looked back. If you want speed, reliability, and no bloat this is it.
