Request: Printing attachments

Post by DrJJWMac »

I'd like to be able to print an attachment directly from BE. I cannot see a context menu or menu bar button that allows this. Hitting CMD-P when the attachment window is in focus seems also not to recognize that the attachment is to be printed, not the reference.

I just wanted to post such request when I found this one from two years ago. Plus one from me then and here is hoping.

You can print PDF attachments now -- it's an option in the action popup menu in the PDF toolbar.

Nice, I have missed that. You can't select multiple references from the list and print their attachments in bulk, right?

No, because among other things there may be multiple attachments and you only want to print one.

That's something you could script though (getting the paths to the attached PDFs from Bookends and telling an app like Preview to print them).
