Printing Documents

Printing Documents

Choose a real physical printer.

PDF Professional does not rely on ’printer resident fonts‘ or ’printer memory‘, or even ’versions of printer drivers’. The point is – if you can display the PDF on screen, you should be able to print it without problems. Select File > Print or click the Print button on the File toolbar to open the Print dialog box.

Printer

  • Name
    Choose the printer from the drop-down list and optionally click the Properties button to choose printer-specific options. The printer type and the current status are displayed for information.
  • Print Content
    You can print document and comments, document only, or form fields only.

Print Range

  • Range
    Specify the range of pages to print: all pages, current page, current view or page range.
  • Subset
    For a multi-page range, choose all pages, odd pages, or even pages.
  • Reverse pages
    Print pages in reverse order.

Preview
The preview area shows the size of the paper and how PDF pages will be printed on it.

Print Handling

  • Copies
    Tells how many copies are needed.
  • Collate

    Choose how PDF pages should be scaled onto the paper:
    • None

      Select the paper tray according to the page size – this feature is printer-dependent.
