User Guide

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.

About booklets

Booklets are documents with multiple pages arranged on sheets of paper that, when folded, present the correct page
order. You can create 2-up saddle-stitched booklets, where two side-by-side-pages, printed on both sides, are folded
once and fastened along the fold. The first page prints on the same printed sheet as the last page, the second page on
the same sheet as the second-to-last page, and so on. Each page is automatically centered on the sheet, and large pages
are scaled (shrunk) to fit the printable area. When you collate, fold, and staple the double-sided pages, the result is a
single book with correct pagination.

To print booklets, your printer must support either automatic or manual duplex printing (printing on both sides of
the paper). Manual duplex printing requires two separate printing passes: one to print the front side, and another to
print the back side. To find out whether your printer supports duplex printing, check the printer manual, contact the
printer manufacturer, or click the Properties button in the Print dialog box and look for options that mention two-
sided or duplex printing.
