The Atlas command
Atlas Command is a stand–alone executable that is used for printing and exporting map documents (.mxd files) or map sheets and map series.
When using the List, Count, Export, or Print commands, you can specify multiple map documents to process in the same command preceding each map document with/mxd: and separating each document with a space, as in the following example:
Atlas /export:layout /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd" /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Test.mxd"
