Total PDF PrinterX for Developers & IT Automation

Built for Automation

Total PDF PrinterX is the command-line version of our industrial-grade printing engine. Designed for headless servers, automated job queues, and large-scale print environments, it runs as a Windows service or from your own PowerShell/Batch scripts. Whether you're building an internal tool or printing documents from a CI/CD pipeline — this tool gives you full control.

Using the Command Line Interface

Once installed, invoke the tool from your terminal, scheduled task, or script:

TotalPDFPrinter.exe -src "C:\docs\*.pdf" -printer "HP LaserJet" -silent -copies 2 -duplex on -tray 2

This command silently prints all PDFs from C:\docs using a specific printer, enabling duplex and specifying tray #2.

Integrating with PowerShell

PowerShell support makes it ideal for scripting workflows and remote execution:

$files = Get-ChildItem "C:\Invoices" -Filter *.pdf
foreach ($file in $files) {
  & "C:\Program Files\TotalPDFPrinterX\TotalPDFPrinter.exe" -src $file.FullName -printer "Xerox 5530" -silent
}

Automate the printing of each PDF in a folder. This is perfect for billing systems or nightly batch jobs.

Total PDF PrinterX is fully silent. No windows, no prompts, no interruptions. Just raw performance.
