5. Why does “Cannot Establish Adobe Batch Print Function” appear?
This message occurs when one of the following cases is true:
  • MaxView cannot find on the system a reference to the Adobe Acrobat Reader
  • MaxView cannot establish the batch print registry entries to enable batch printing of PDF files from within     MaxView.
HKEY CLASSES ROOT\AcroExch.Document                     Shell                         Print                            Command (Entry needs to be there.  If it isn't, install Acrobat Reader) If MaxView cannot establish HOW to print Adobe PDF files, the user will be given the message "Cannot Establish Adobe Batch Print Function" each time MaxView is started.  You can chose to never see that message again and it will not show again.  The message is benign, except for the instances where the MaxView document has a number of PDF files in it and any more than one PDF file is selected for print.  The Adobe PDF files will still print, but most likely will NOT be printed in order.  MaxView has no control over this if it is unable to find the Adobe Acrobat Reader (or the full version of Acrobat) on the user's machine.
