Print specific pages in sections of book

I want to print two sections of my book, but i don't want to print all pages in either section. When i use the "print selected documents" the page range is greyed out. Is there a way to print these duplex pages without having to print it in it's entirety? For instance: INDD #1 has three pages (numbered 1 to 3). INDD #2 has three pages (numbered 4 to 6). I only want to print duplex pages of 3 and 4. Is that possible? Please advise. Thanks in advance for your help.
kind regards
k

I don't believe so. You could print to PDF (or to postscript file, then distill) and perhaps print the selected pages from the PDF, but I suspect you'd still need to place them into a new document to get the spread. There's no way ID is going to directly make a spread from pages in separate files.

How to print specific pages out of a book file

I've searched around but I cannot find any way of printing specific pages out of a book file. Has anyone got any ideas? I have a 100 page book file with 20 files, and doing print outs of sections is a nightmare. I want to be able to print page 5 out of file A and page 6 out of file B together so I can duplex them. I've tried scripting this but I can't seem to set the page range of the print preferences of the book file.

I don't think it's possible to set the page range of a Book.printPreferences
Theoretically it ought to be possible. Can't test for myself now; what does happen when you set the pageRange to overlapping sub-files?
I've just tried it with CS3. It might have been implemented in later versions.
In the print Book dialogue the page range field is disabled. You cannot enter anything there.
If you try to do it with a script it says that printPreferences is read only.

How can i print specific pages against searched word or name (in one print command) from 1000 pages

how can i print specific pages against searched word or name (in one print command) from 1000 pages

Thanks, Alex!
ok, I try first approach in print4.vi, but Labview return an error (view jpg); if I cut From, To controls, the VI print all pages. The same things happen also if I trasform I32 in Variant.
I don't try second approach, because at this time I have only one report
I try also with VB macro: this is better (print3.vi) but.....if I use:
Sub Print_Pages_From_To()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="2", To:="3"
End Sub
is ok; print the pages selected; if I use:
Sub PrintPages()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Pages:="2-3"
End Sub
printer print all pages.
what do you think?
regards,
Italo

Duplex prints blank pages at section breaks in MS Word

Symptom: MS Word prints blanks on the backs of only some pages that should be auto-duplexed, resulting in even pages being printed on odd sides of paper sheets. Probability of problem is greater if one side is portrait and the other landscape.
Cause: MS Word creates a separate PostScript file for each section. (A section is delimited by a section break.) As each file arrives at the printer, the printer treats it as a new print job and so ejects the previous piece of paper before printing the first page of the next section. If the last page of a section is odd, then the first page of the next section can't print on the back of that piece of paper.
Microsoft told me it's the fault of the Mac OS. Anybody have insights? Has Apple even acknowledged this problem?

Next Page section break with different page orientations in the two sections (first section on odd page, next section on even page), is guaranteed to cause the problem.
But Next Page section break even with the same page orientation also causes the problem, though not 100% of the time. I've not figured out why on rare occasions it does not cause the problem. I've examined the usual suspects--anything requiring the second section to appear on an odd page.
Even a regular Page Break (not a section break) causes the problem at least most of the time, even though (by definition) there is no page orientation change.
This is a big problem for me, because I produce 300-page formally structured documents that really benefit from section breaks. I can't expect my readers to manually duplex.

How to print specific pages of a pdf from a vb 2013 program using a print dialog

Hi. I am using the acrobat sdk to display pdfs from within a vb 2013 program, because the pdfs are large and we have developed indexes on certain columns. The indexes are stored in SQL tables. My program has a search window which allows the user to search for a value and displays all the pages on which this value appears in the indexed column in a listbox. By double-clicking on the desired value in the listbox, the user can go to the selected page and column. However, the user also needs to be able to highlight one or more of the pages in the listbox and print these pages. I could do this silently using AcroExchAVDoc.PrintPages, but the user also needs to have a print dialog displayed in order to possibly select a watermark to be printed on the pages. I also need to default the orientation of the pages depending on the document.
I have reviewed the sdk documentation and also searched in Google and on this site but have not found a way to do this. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Mary

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.

Cannot print specific pages in Leopard

How do I print only page 2 and 3 of a fifty page document?

What application are you attempting to print from? There should be some option in the print dialog to print only certain pages but it may vary from app to app. There should be some "radio buttons" that you can select from to print everything or only a range of pages....no?

Indesign CS5 won't print specific pages within document

I'm working on Indesign CS5. The issue is with a specific document, and just started happening on version 11. All previous versions of the file have printed with no problems. I have so far determined that it is a document level problem as I can print other documents in Indesign with no issues. I have also determined which pages are giving me an error message: I can print all but one spread of this 16-page document. For example, it will print pages 1-9 and 12-16, but will not print 10-11. It gives it a try, and then gives me an error message box that just reads "error: " with no code or explaination. Any one else out there experienced this or know what's going on? There's no overset text, unlinked graphics or missing fonts, if that helps. Also, I'm working on a mac.
Edit: I have also already tried different print settings, and repasting everything into a new document that I created.

If that doesn't work, move the pages from spread to a new document so you can play without risking the file you have now. First, try to print the spread as-is, then if it doesn't print remove half the objects and try again. If the file prints without removing anything, then move all the pages fromthe old file to a new one and save with a new name, then try again. If you have to remove objects, there is probably a problem with one of the objects on the spread. You'll bew able to isolate it very fast by dividing the group of things that won't print in half, then dividing the half that won't print, and so on.

Smartforms: Option of Printing Specific Pages Only

Dear forum-ers,
I have a requirement to print several agent statements in smartform based on the logic from the print program. Each of the page for the single form have a unique statement. Under different scenarios, the form must print out different page combinations as stated below:
Scenario 1: Page 1, Page 3
Scenario 2: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3
Scenario 3: Page 3, Page 4
Can the above be achieved using one single form? There is no option found in smartform to print only selected pages based on certain conditions. Please advice.

Take for example, my smartform should have 4 pages. Each page represents different statement. So each page will have its own main window to cater for the data to be printed out.
Page 1: Statement 1
Page 2: Statement 2
Page 3: Statement 3
Page 4: Statement 4
Page & Windows
============
Page1
    Window1 [Attributes: Next Page = Page2]
       Command Node1 [Attributes: Goto New Page = Page2]
Page2
    Window2 [Attributes: Next Page = Page3]
       Command Node2 [Attributes: Goto New Page = Page3]
Page3
    Window3 [Attributes: Next Page = Page4]
       Command Node3 [Attributes: Goto New Page = Page4]
Page4
    Window4 [Attributes: Next Page = Page4]
       Command Node4 [Attributes: Goto New Page = Page4]
The problem is the smartform only prints page 1 and page 2 only. I want the smartform to print out all four pages in sequence.

Need help. Trying to print specific pages on Pages 09.

For example. I have a 40 page document. Yet I do not need all those pages to be printed at this time. I need to only Print pages 15-35. How do I go about doing so?
Thank you for your time.

How do I add a "Print this page" button (not just a "Print" button) to a PDF?

I am creating a multipage PDF in Acrobat Pro 8 for a client and it includes a linked table of contents with several sections and also several forms sprinkled throughout. I need to be able to add buttons that allow the user to print specific page numbers. Is it possible to add a "print this page" button to a page ... or even a "print this form" in case the form within the larger document is multiple pages? I would appreciate any help, thanks!

I was just coming back to here to say I've figured it out and am using an invisible button (over text that was created to look like a link) on each page... tested and working (when combined with the code). Thank you for your replies!

HP Officejet Pro L7780 won't print individual pages of a file

I have a HP Officejet Pro L7780 setup with wireless printing on my network and am using Windows 7 on a 64-bit computer with MSWord 2007. I'm trying to duplex print just specific corrected pages (like pages 7-8) from a file (of pages 1-22) and my printer just won't do it. When I select to print specific pages, the printer just sits there and then the print queue is apparently dumped, as the tray icon just disappears. The printer will print only all pages of a file or nothing at all. What could be the reason for this and how do I correct it? Thanks, Patricia
