Is it possible to print multiple documents from within ContactsLaw?

Yes, however you will not be able to change printer settings or guarantee the order in which documents print.
 
The functionality required to print documents is provided by the applications in which those documents open, for example Microsoft Word or Adobe Reader. This means that it is necessary to launch these applications in order to print a document. Windows applications can be launched using the 'Print' verb, which is typically implemented as a macro which opens the document, prints it using the default printer settings and then closes the application. Some applications wait until this process has completed before signalling to ContactsLaw to proceed to the next document, but other applications do not. This can create a situation where many instances of the application open at the same time, causing performance issues and making it impossible to predict which documents will print first.
 
You should be aware of these limitations when printing multiple documents from within ContactsLaw.
