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.
Print Color As Black (Windows)
Forces all nonwhite color to print as black. This option is useful for printing
engineering drawings that have lightly colored lines. This option does not change the settings for print preview, but it
does affect the color settings in the Advanced Print Setup dialog box.
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 portion of a page
1 Choose Tools > Select & Zoom > Snapshot Tool.
2 Drag around the area you want to print.
Acrobat copies the selected area to the clipboard.
3 Choose File > Print to print the selection.
Print layers
Normally, when you print a PDF that contains layers, just the content that is visible on-screen is printed. However, the
creator of a layered PDF can specify that some layered content, such as watermarks or confidential information, must
(or must not) print, regardless of its visibility on-screen. If the document is designed to print differently from how it
currently appears on-screen, a message may appear in the Print dialog box. The Preview image in the Print dialog box
always shows the page as it will print.
