Bookmark link to print multiple files

[FesterSXS]

Here's the deal...

I have a list of PDFs that all contain the same bookmark list so that they are all interconnected. The PDFs are categorised into various [red]Groups[/red] and [blue]Sections[/blue] as illustrated below. The bookmark list follows the same structure.

[red]1. Boiler Controls[/red]
[blue]1.1 Feedtanks[/blue]
[green]Link to PDF 1[/green]
[green]Link to PDF 2[/green]
[green]Link to PDF 3[/green]
[green]Print all PDFs in this section[/green]
[blue]1.2 Steam Injectors[/blue]
[blue]1.3 Level Controls[/blue]
[blue]1.4 Sample Coolers[/blue]

[red]2. Flowmetering[/red]
[blue]2.1 Gilflo Meters[/blue]
[blue]2.2 DIVA Meters[/blue]
[blue]2.3 Orifice Plate Meters[/blue]

[red]3. etc...[/red]
[blue]3.1 etc...[/blue]
[blue]3.2 etc...[/blue]
[blue]3.3 etc...[/blue]

I would like to have a [green]Print this section[/green] link within each section that will print all the PDFs that are contained in this section.

I've noticed that you can assign a Javascript to a bookmark link. Is it possible to get this javascript to send the appropriate documents to the printer?

I hope that all made some sense Thanks in advance.

I managed to half-solve my problem by doing the following.

1) I applied the following Javascript to the [green]Print this section[/green] link

var FileList = new Array(3);

FileList[0] = "Boiler controls/Feedtanks/p401_08.pdf"
FileList[1] = "Boiler controls/Feedtanks/p401_05.pdf"
FileList[2] = "Boiler controls/Feedtanks/p006_03.pdf"

for(i=0; i<FileList.length; i++)
{
  var doc = app.openDoc(FileList[i], this);
  doc.print(false);
  doc.closeDoc();
}

2) Each PDF that needs to be printed needs the following done...

a)goto Advanced >> Javascript >> Document Javascripts
b)enter a script name of disclosed
c)replace the code that appears with...

this.disclosed = true;

What I need to do now though is have the first bit of Javascript able to print all PDFs in a specified directory rather than specifying each individual file. I have posted this new question in Thread223-984512
