I have a large number of PDF files and wish to make a list of them NOT THE CONTENT.

if I use Adobe 9 it wants to print the contents -Word doesn't recognise the files and PRint screen is very basic. There's got to be a simple way of listing these PDF files, which are in alaphbetical order already.Any one suggest a way, please? Brian:)

Hello Basil, welcome to the forum.

 

Just one idea...

 

1) Go to the folder that houses all your PDF files.

 

2) On the menu bar at the top of your screen click View > Details.

Note: If you just want the file names choose View > List.

 

3) Once you have either the Detail or List view showing, Click once on the first entry in the list to highlight it. Now scroll to the last file in the list and while holding down the Shift Key click once on the last file.

 

4) With all of your PDF files selected/highlighted....Hit CTRL + C on your keyboard. All of your files are now copied to the Windows clipboard.

 

5) Open up MS Word and give the page a heading of your own choice. Now place the cursor where you want the list to start. Hit CTRL + V to Paste your list onto the page.

 

Hope this helps out...

I thought I knew today...I'll try again tomorrow. :)

Here is another idea, in your search box in XP search for all files with *.pdf You should get a complete list of files with that extension.
