PDF is a format that is often used to share printable versions of documents on the Internet.

You can choose to print your document as a PDF file by selecting the Save As PDF option when you click on the PDF button.

You can specify a range of pages that are continuous (1-5), non-continuous (1,3,5), or a combination of both (1-3, 5, 6) by typing it in the text box. You can also specifiy that you want to print all of the pages in your document, only the current page, a selection you’ve made in the document, or a range of pages.

The option you will use the most often is the one for Copies & Pages, where you can specify the number of copies you want to print.

This may be helpful if you are printing to a shared printer that is used by a lot of people. For example, if you select Cover Page, you can have a cover page printed to help identifiy your print jobs. Each time you make a selection using the pull-down menu, a different group of settings will be displayed in the main area of the dialog box.

You can set the options for your print job using the third pull-down menu from the top in the dialog box.You can also select Shared Printers to send your print job to a shared printer on your network. If you have access to more than one printer, use the Printer pull-down menu to select the printer you want to use. Your default printer should already be selected. From the first pull-down menu, choose the printer to use.This will bring up a dialog box with three pulldown menus at the top. With the document open, select File, Print, or use the keyboard shortcut Command + P to access the print dialog box.If you want to change the default options (such as number of pages, etc.) before you print, print the document by following these steps: If you print this way, you bypass the print dialog box described in this task altogether. This button usually prints one copy of the document using all the default printer settings. Many programs, such as Microsoft Word, also offer a Print button on the main toolbar.
