Most of the options in the Adobe Acrobat® Print dialog box are the same for other applications,
however there will be some minor variations that are operating system
specific.
- Comments And Forms
- Specifies
which visible content prints.
- Document
- Prints the document contents and form fields.
- Document And Markups
- Prints document contents, form fields, and comments.
- Document And Stamps
- Prints the document, form fields, and stamps, but no other
markups, such as note comments and pencil lines.
- Form Fields Only
- Prints interactive form fields but doesn’t print document contents.
- Current View/Selected Graphic
- Prints the page area (including text, comments, and so on)
that is visible in the current view. The option name changes depending
on whether you have no pages selected (Current View), a page or
pages selected (Selected Pages), or an area on a page selected using
the Snapshot tool (Selected Graphic).
- Current Page
- Prints the page that is visible in the current view.
- Pages
- Specifies the range of pages to print in the open PDF. Separate
numbers in a range by using a hyphen, and separate multiple pages
or ranges by using commas or spaces. If the Use Logical Page Numbers
option is selected in Page Display Preferences, you can enter numbers
that match the numbering printed on the pages using roman numerals
or actual page numbers. For example, if the first page of a document
is numbered iii, you can enter iii or 1 to print that page. Selecting
Odd Pages Only or Even Pages Only affects which pages in a range print.
For example, in a range that includes 2, 7–10 with Even Pages Only
selected, only pages 2, 8, and 10 will print.
 To
print from a specific page to the end of the document, enter the
page with a hyphen. For example, “11-” prints page 11 to the last
page of the document. - Subset
- Choose All Pages In Range, or choose Odd Pages Only or Even
Pages Only to print only those pages within the specified range.
- Reverse Pages
- Prints pages in reverse order. If page ranges are entered,
the pages print opposite of the order in which they were entered.
For example, if the Pages box shows 3–5, 7–10, selecting Reverse
Pages prints pages 10–7, and then 5–3.
- Page Scaling
- Reduces,
enlarges, or divides pages when printing.
- None
- Prints the upper left or center of a page (if auto-rotated
and centered) without scaling. Pages or selections that don’t fit
on the paper are cropped.
- Fit To Printable Area
- Reduces or enlarges each page to fit the printable area of the
currently selected paper size. For PostScript® printers,
the PPD determines the printable area of the paper.
- Shrink To Printable Area
- Shrinks large pages to fit the currently selected paper size
but doesn’t enlarge small pages. If an area is selected and is larger
than the printable area of the currently selected paper, it’s scaled
to fit the printable area. This option is always active during N-up
printing.l
- Tile Large Pages
- Applies tiling to pages that are larger than the selected
paper size at the specified scale. These pages are mapped to multiple
sheets of paper. If this option is selected, you can also specify
settings for Tile Scale, Overlap, Cut Marks, and Labels.
- Tile All Pages
- Applies tiling to all pages, regardless of size. However,
only the pages that are larger than the selected paper size at the
specified scale are mapped to multiple sheets of paper. If this
option is selected, you can also specify settings for Tile Scale,
Overlap, Cut Marks, and Labels.
- Multiple Pages Per Sheet
- Enables N-up printing, where multiple
pages print on the same sheet of paper. If this option is selected,
you can also specify settings for Pages Per Sheet, Page Order, Print
Page Border, and Auto-Rotate Pages.
Note: N-up printing in
Acrobat is independent of the N-up printing features of printer drivers.
The Acrobat print settings don’t reflect
the N-up settings of the printer drivers. Select N-up printing either
in Acrobat or in the printer driver,
but not both.
- Booklet Printing
- Prints multiple pages on the same sheet of paper in the order required
to read correctly when folded. The printer must support duplex
printing (printing on both sides of the sheet). Acrobat automatically enables duplex
printing, if available, for booklet printing.
- Pages Per Sheet
- Prints
a predefined number of pages, or a custom number (up to 99), horizontally
and vertically during N-up printing. If you select a predefined number
from the menu, Acrobat automatically
selects the best paper orientation.
- Page Order
- Defines
how the pages are ordered on paper during N-up printing. Horizontal
places pages from left to right, top to bottom. Horizontal Reversed places
pages from right to left, top to bottom. Vertical places pages top
to bottom, left to right. Vertical Reversed places pages top to
bottom, right to left. Both reversed options are suitable for Asian-language
documents.
- Print Page Border
- Draws the crop box (the page boundary of PDF pages) during
N-up printing.
- Auto-Rotate And Center
- Automatically selects the page orientation that best matches
the content and paper. For example, a spreadsheet could print horizontally,
while a newsletter could print vertically. The Auto-Rotate And Center
option overrides the orientation selected in Print Setup.
- Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size (Windows)
- Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather
than the page setup option. This option is useful for printing PDFs
that contain multiple page sizes on printers that have different-sized
output trays.
- Print To File (Windows)
- Creates a device-dependent PostScript
file of the document. The resulting file contains code for enabling
and controlling specific device features, making it less compatible
with devices other than the target device. For better results when
creating PostScript files, use the Save As PostScript command. The
Save As PostScript command isn’t available in Adobe Reader®.
Note: You don’t need to have a
PostScript printer to create a PostScript file.
- Printing Tips
- If you’re connected to the Internet, this option connects
to the Adobe website for information on how to troubleshoot printing
problems.
- Advanced
- Opens
one or more panels for setting additional printing options.
- Summarize Comments
- Creates a separate, printable PDF of the comments in a document.
This option is unavailable when you print from a web browser or
print multiple documents in PDF Portfolios. See Print a comment summary.
