A PDF can contain a set of print presets,
a group of document-specific values that is used to set basic print
options. By creating a print preset for a document, you can avoid
manually setting certain options in the Print dialog box each time
you print the document. It’s best to define print settings for a
PDF at the time that you create it, but print presets provide a
means to add basic print settings to a PDF at any time.
- Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced
tab.
- In the Print Dialog Presets section, set options and
click OK.
The next time you open the Print dialog box, the values
will be set to the print preset values. These settings are also
used when you print individual documents in a PDF Portfolio.
Note: To
retain a print preset for a PDF, you must save the PDF after creating
the print preset.
Print Dialog Presets- Page Scaling
- Prepopulates the Page Scaling option in the Print dialog
box with the option you choose:
- Default
- Uses the application default setting, which is Shrink To
Printable Area.
- None
- Prevents automatic scaling to fit the printable area. This
setting is useful for preserving the scale of page content in engineering
documents, or for ensuring that documents print at a particular
point size to be legal.
- DuplexMode
- For best results, the selected printer should support duplex printing
if you select a duplex option.
- Simplex
- Prints on one side of the paper.
- Duplex Flip Long Edge
- Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the
long edge.
- Duplex Flip Short Edge
- Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the
short edge.
- Paper Source By Page Size
- Selects the option by the same name in the Print dialog box.
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 Page Range
- Prepopulates the Pages box in the Print Range section of
the Print dialog box with the page ranges you enter here. This setting
is useful in a workflow where documents include both instruction
pages and legal pages. For example, if pages 1–2 represent instructions
for filling out a form, and pages 3–5 represent the form, you can
set up your print job to print multiple copies of only the form.
- Number Of Copies
- Prepopulates the Copies box in the Print dialog box. Choose a
number from 2 to 5, or choose Default to use the application default,
which is one copy. This limitation prevents multiple unwanted copies
from being printed.
