Options for printing objects
The General area of the Print dialog box contains options for printing elements usually visible only on-screen, such as
grids and guides. Choose from the following options:
Print Layers Determine which layers are printed. (See Choose which layers are printed or exported to PDF .)
Print Non-printing Objects Prints all objects, regardless of your settings to selectively prevent individual objects from
printing.
Print Blank Pages Prints all pages in the specified page range, even if no text or objects appear on a page. This option
is unavailable when you are printing separations. If you are using Print Booklet for composite printing, use the Print
Blank Printer Spreads option to print blank spreads added to fill out composite signatures.
Print Visible Guides and Baseline Grids Prints visible guides and grids in the same color as shown in the document. You
can control which guides and grids are visible in the View menu. This option is unavailable when you are printing
separations.
Printing documents with multiple page sizes
You may want to print pages that have different sizes separately. An option in the Print dialog box makes it easy to
specify a range that selects all the pages of the same size in the document.
Before you submit a document with multiple page sizes for printing, ask the print provider about special requirements.
If you have difficulties printing a document with multiple page sizes, consider dividing it into separate documents.
1 Choose File > Print.
2 In the General panel, select or deselect Spreads to determine whether pages or spreads are printed.
If a spread includes pages of different sizes, the largest width and height on the spread determines the spread size.
3 To print only pages of the same size, use the options above the Range field to select one of the pages or spreads, and
then click the pages icon
.
The Range field displays all the pages or spreads of that size.
4 After printing a range of one page size, repeat the steps to print other page sizes.
Specifying pages to print
You can specify a page range using either absolute numbering (the page’s position in the current document) or
page/section numbering (the section and page numbers assigned to the page). By default, dialog boxes in InDesign
honor the format specified for Page Numbering in the Preferences dialog box.
• When Absolute Numbering is selected, numbers you specify for pages or page ranges correspond to the absolute
position of pages in your document. For example, to print the third page in the document, you would enter “3” for
Range in the Print dialog box.
PartB:7- Page numbered 7 in section labeled “PartB” to last page of section.
Chap2:7-Chap3 Page 7 in section labeled “Chap2” to end of section labeled “Chap3”.
Sec4:3-Sec4:6, Sec3:7 Pages 3–6 in “Sec4” and page 7 in “Sec3”.
