Page From/To prints a range of pages. In Windows, if the Use Logical Page
•
Numbers option is selected in General preferences, you can enter page-position
numbers in parentheses to print those pages. For example, if the first page of a
document is numbered "iii", you can enter (1) to print that page.
Comments prints Acrobat comment graphics on the pages.
•
Shrink oversized pages to paper size reduces the PDF file to fit the paper size
•
specified in the printer properties.
Expand small pages to paper size enlarges the PDF file to fit the paper size
•
specified in the printer properties.
Auto-rotate and center pages adjusts the PDF file's orientation to match that
•
specified in the printer properties.
Print As Image (Windows) prints the pages as bitmap images. (In Mac OS, this is
•
set in the Print Method pop-up menu.) You may want to print pages as images if
normal printing does not produce the desired results.
Print Method, in Windows, specifies which level of PostScript to generate for the
•
pages. Choose the level of PostScript appropriate for your printer. In Mac OS, this
specifies whether to print using PostScript (without selecting a level) or to print
pages as bitmap images.
Optimize for Speed downloads fonts to the printer as they are needed. With this
•
option checked, the pages must be printed in the order in which Acrobat emits
them.
Download Asian Fonts downloads Asian fonts to a PostScript printer. Select this
•
option if you want to print a PDF document with Asian fonts but do not have the
fonts installed on the printer and do not have the fonts embedded in the document.
(Embedded fonts are downloaded whether or not this option is selected.) You can
use this option with a PostScript Level 2 or higher printer, or a Level 1 printer that
supports Type 0 font extensions.
Save Printer Memory downloads all the fonts for a given page to the printer before
•
the page is printed. When unchecked, print jobs may be smaller but require more
printer memory.
Note: Some fonts cannot be downloaded to a printer, either because the font is a
bitmap or because embedding of the font is restricted in that document. In these
cases, a substitute font is used for printing, and the printed output may not match
the screen display exactly.
If Download Asian Fonts is not selected, the PDF document prints correctly only if
the referenced fonts are installed on the printer. If the fonts are not on the printer but
the printer has similar fonts, the printer substitutes the similar fonts. If there are no
suitable fonts on the printer, Courier is used for the text.
If you have a PostScript Level 1 printer that does not support Type 0 font extensions,
or if Download Asian Fonts does not produce the results you want, print the PDF
document as a bitmap image. Printing a document as an image may take longer than
using a substituted printer font.
