How does one print selected pages of a PDF document

I deal a lot with lengthy PDF documents and always need to print just a few pages from it. In Windows after I selected Print I could choose certain pages (e.g. 2-5,18,23, 44-46). On Leopard every time I select Print I don't get a choice and the whole document prints, wasting a lot of time, ink and paper in the process. I followed instructions from the Help file but I never get to the expanded menu that would give me that choice.
Also, when printing from the web I am used to highlight what I wanted printed and click Print, then Selection. The only way I get it to print just what I want is by using the Grab program, capturing the selection and printing from it. Is there an easier way?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I make my transition from Windows XP to Leopard a smoother transition. Thank you.

Open the document. On the left of the document there should be a scrolling list of the pages of the document. Select the first page. Hold down the 'Command' key. While the 'Command' key is pressed down, select another page from that list. Repeat until you have selected all the pages you want to print. Select 'Print' from the 'File' menu. The Print dialog box which shows up should say that you want to print 'x' pages, where 'x' is the number of pages you have selected. Click on 'Print'. The pages you have selected will print.

How does one print only a highlighted portion of a document?

How does one print only a highlighted portion of a document?

If the App supports that, it would be in the Print dialog. Otherwise, copy and paste the section into something else to print.
The OS doesn’t render pages to print, the App does. The App must support rendering the selection.
You can create an Automator workflow that automates the copy/paste/print/quit functions.
Just create an new Automator Service and make it look like this:
The text of the Applescript is this:
on run {input, parameters}
     tell application “TextEdit"
          print document of front window
          close document of front window without saving
          quit
     end tell
     return input
end run

In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ??? How does one email a pages document.

How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from.

Sounds like you are using Gmail.
Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

Hi,
It depends on the software you are using, what is it ? In general you can select a range or just a number of pages.

How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

You need to reinstall iPhoto. To reinstall iPhoto delete the current application and, on all Macs with Snow Leopard or earlier installed, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
or from the /var/db/receipts/ folder (10.6) .
Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

Printing selected pages of a PDF to Adobe PDF

I have Acrobat 9, Windows 7, and was happily creating new files from existing PDFs by printing selected pages to Adobe PDF. After having done this a hundred times or so, the process stopped working. I got this message: "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, 'Adobe PDF Settings' page and turn OFF the option 'Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.'" Then I get a message, "The document could not be printed." Then I get a message, "There were no pages selected to print."
First, I wasn't having any problems up to this point; second, I'm not trying to create a postscript file, I'm just trying to print to Adobe PDF (as in, just page 3 of a six-page document."
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I downloaded the Arcobat SDK and now learning to use it with its sample.
However, I got stuck when I run the program BasicIacVB.
I got the following error message:
Cannot create ActiveX component.
When running the line
gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
I run this program on my PC with VS2005 installed.
What extra step do I need to do to use the sdk?
Seems there's no installation package there...
Sorry about my stupid question, I am a total newbie in AcrobatSDK.
P.S. My ultimate goal is to develop the program in VB6 (not using VB2005),
as my client PCs does not (and cannot for some reason) install .net framework.

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document using internet explorer 11?

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document stored in a folder (I'm using Windows 7)?
It only prints 1 page then my Brother MFC-J4510DW Printer says "Please put another piece of paper in the feed slot"....the problem is the print setting is set to "manual mode" in Windows 7 rather than "general setting". If you try to change the setting to "general", it will not accept the change.

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

How do I print 2 pages from a pdf file and enlarge it

how do i print 2 pages from a file and enlarge it to email

Hi stevebulldog,
Do I understand correctly that you'd like to extract two pages from a PDF, and then send them via email?
To extract pages from a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. Please see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
I'm not sure what you mean by "enlarge" it. When your recipient views the PDF, they can enlarge the view (zoom in on the PDF) by choosing options from the View menu in Acrobat or Reader.
Best,
Sara

HT4436 how does one print from cloudon?

I can work on the excel and word programs but can not print from it.
how does on do this?

From an iOS device you need either
1) an airprint printer -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
2) If yours is not listed, then the only way to print is using a computer - for example, on a Mac, get Printopia for the mac. Then your ipad can print using airprint, Printopia intercepts the job and routes it to a printer that the Mac can connect go.

Printing selected page as a pdf in adobe reader

Hi,
I have Adobe Reader for the Mac. I'm dealing with pdf documents that are hundreds of pages. If I wanted to save a single page (or several pages), it seems I have to go through an extra step:
1) print
2) then select printer
3) then get warning window telling me to go to applications dialogue box
4) click ok, go to box
5) select page range in applications printer box.
that's a lot of steps. Preview does this in one step (but has other problems). Is there a way of selecting pages and going directly to save as pdf. I know there's no extract page feature like there is in Acrobat.
thanks for any help,
jeff

Not in the free Reader, no.

Print selected pages of a PDF file to printer as a batch job using VB6

I have the following:
1) 1,000 multi-paged PDF files (say 00000001.pdf, 00000002.pdf, ..., 00160000.pdf)
2) A list of pages for each document to print
(e.g. 00000001.pdf: 2,3,5,7
00000002.pdf: 3-8, 10
00001000.pdf: 5,6,7,10)
I want to perform a single batch job to print the specified pages of all 1000 PDF documents to default printer.
I am using VB6, Acrobat Reader 9 installed.
I am thinking of writing a function like that:
Private Function PrintPDF(byval sPDFFilePath as string, byval iPageNum() as integer) as boolean
and then write a looping routine to print the files one by one.
Seems that Acrobat SDK has such feature.
Please advise how can I do this?

Printing selected pages to new PDF

I have done this before, but not sure what has changed? I have "Adobe PDF" configured as a printer and Acrobat 9 Pro Ver 9.3.4 installed on my computer. I used to be able to print individual page selections or ranges to the "Acrobat PDF" printer and get an extracted PDF file with my selection. Now I get a .PS file with some text in it. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way, other than Snag-It? Can I do this with Acrobat Reader?

As I have told many people "I am only blind in two eyes, the rest are OK".
I think I see the problem now:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Although these are company files, for legal reasons, they get encryped when placed on the company site. They can be sent to a printer, but not to the Adobe PDF printer. I already have steps to provide open PDF files for internal use. I think that may be my fix.
Thank you for your input.

How can I print commentaries made to a pdf-document with Adobe reader ?

My message and question is contained in the header of this message.
I am receiving occasionally PDF- documents as an attachement to an email for examination. I can attach comments to special parts of the document, which are indicated by tags in the document and in a list at the side of that document.
I may return the document with my remarks to the sender.
The Problem is: When he wants to print out the document, he will print the tags, but not the content of my comments.
Is there a way to print the comments also or the list of may comments?
Thank for your help.
