Chapter 15: Printing
Whether you send a quick draft to an inkjet or laser printer, provide a multicolored document to an outside service
provider, or print a complex technical document with custom page sizes, you can set options in the Print dialog box
to ensure that the finished document appears as intended.
Quickstart
The following topics provide overview steps to some more complex printing tasks.
Print a booklet
When you create a booklet, pages are arranged on sheets of paper so that they are in the correct order when the paper
is collated, folded, and stapled.
Note: To print booklets, the printer must support duplex printing (printing on both sides of the paper).
1 Choose File > Print and select the printer.
2 Set Print Range to All.
3 Choose Booklet Printing from the Page Scaling menu.
4 Select additional page handling options as desired.
