Printing selected pages

How do I select individual pages to be printed? The help says I can fill in the range of pages to be printed, but there's no such field in the Print dialog? (same goes for number of copies)

Hi lexvo
Welcome to the forum.
I am not sure where you are looking but:
+Menu > File > Print > Copies: _ > Pages: > From: _ To: _+
You are not looking in the *Print Setup…* dialogue by any chance?

How do I print selected pages from a multi page document

How do I print selected pages from a multi page document?
This question was solved.

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.

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.

Printing Select Pages

I have AA 8.0 on two PCs. One will allow printing selected pages and the other will not. How do I correct this for the one that does not print select pages.
Here's what I do.
On the PC that is able to print select pages:
Open the "Pages" tab, select two pages out of say 4, click the Print botton and the "Current View" changes to "Select Pages"
Is there a setting that will enable printing Select Pages?

Brad,
I don't have 8 on my system any longer. It works in 9 just fine. I'd
suspect that there might be a damaged preference file somewhere. Things
that you can try:
1) Repair installation with Acrobat.
2) Quit Acrobat, remove printer driver, reboot, install printer driver
and test.
3) Remove Acrobat completely and then re-install.
Interestingly enough in Acrobat 9 you can select pdfs in a portfolio and
print them, but you cannot select pages in the pages pane in pdf in a
portfolio to print. The entire pdf gets selected to print. Strike one
against portfolios. You can of course just enter the pages you want to
print---which may work in your senario as well. You may not be able to
select the pages to print, but you can place them in the print dialog
box and it should print only those pages.

ARGH-HUH! Print v Print Selected Pages

Good god almighty.
Is there a way to get Preview to Default (I know I said Preview) to print all the pages when I go Print and then I end up pulling down to "pdf" to print a pdf?!
For the umpteenth time I have scanned a 50 page document, gone to print a pdf of this scan, and accidentally hit "Print" (go figure) instead of selecting all the pages (!?) and hitting Print - and then of course pulling down the pdf and going to Save As pdf.
Print defaults to the selected page ?! and Print Selected Pages works if you select all the Pages?
I have to scan the whole darn document again...
What am I missing? Also, apologies for posting in Pages but I can't find any place else to address this.
Thanks!

As we will have to wait for at least a few days, here is my workaround.
--[SCRIPT printseveralpictures]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : printseveralpictures.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:
Ouvrir plusieurs images dans Aperçu
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir "printseveralpictures"
Le script sélectionne toutes les vignettes d'images
puis exécute la commande "Imprimer les images sélectionnées…"
Il vous reste à définir la destination (imprimante ou PDF) et à valider.

L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau "Général" du dialogue Préférences de l'Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: printseveralpictures.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:
Open several pictures in Preview
Go to the Scripts Menu then choose "printseveralpictures"
The script select every pictures thumbnails
then trigger the menu item "Print Selected Pictures…"
Then you must define the target device (printer or PDF) then validate the action.

The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Smartforms: Printing Selective Pages

My smartform have 5 pages. My aim is print selective pages (ie page 1-3).
In the global definition -> initialization, i wrote the statement below:
OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDPAGESLCT = '1-3'.
My problem is all 5 pages are still being printed out instead of page1 to page3. Please advice.

Hi,
With the specified way , the condition cann't work.Once check it.
In the generated FM you have parameter OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDPAGESLCT, which is for "Pages selected for printing".
You have to call FM 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' to get the generated FM name, then call this FM dynamically with the mentioned parameter.

How to: print selected pages, same pages, odd pages on a book?

hi,
about book:
how can I print only pages that I want to?
Like selected pages, odds pages or only that I want?
How can I print front-back sheet?
Thank you

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.

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.

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.

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.

Trouble printing selected page range as handout

I am trying to print for a keynote but only want a selected page range and just cannot seem to get it to work. When I go into print and select under the pages tab the "from" button and type the range ( eg 184-189 ) I only get the option of slides with notes or outline. I want to pront as a handout with 2 or 3 sldes per page. The preview shows no pages selectde and it is unable to print.
I've tried highlighting the slides I wish to print and trying that but to no avail. The silly thing is I did manage to get it to work this way once but now it doesn't seem to work that way. I'm frustrated as I don't want to print the whole presentation off and throw away the sheets I don't need as it seems to defeat the object of page selection. I also don't want to watse ink by having one slide per page.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I have this issue with my printer also
my work around is to delete the pages I dont want printed, save this version as a separate file and the pages I want print out correctly.

How to print selected page no. with smart forms?

Say hello to everybody,
    I just want to print page from 4-6 for example, how can I make it?
    I have a mothod that we can use T-code sp02 to print page 4-6, and it works.
    Is there any other way to make it? Such as setting some parameters for the function of smartforms? Any help, many thanks!

Hi
Printing of pages is controlled only after the generation of spool
though we use the variables &SFSY-PAGE& for page number
to display some data based on page condition, but for printing i think we can't put a condition based on this field.
The way you are doing is the way to do/control page wise printing while printing the spool pages

Printing selected page from all pages

Hello,
I'm working on web based oracle technology.
I'm facaing one problem when i'm printing any report direct to printer then it asks to select printer from available printer in network. But the problem is that it do not the ask how many pages to print , means, do not show dilouge box for selection of pages to be printed.

If u r printing the report directly from ur coding then pass parameter list to run_product(). In that parameter list create parameter PRINTJOB and set it to YES.
e.g
declare
     pl_id paramlist;
begin
     pl_id:=get_parameter_list('tmpdata');
          if not id_null(pl_id) then
               destroy_parameter_list(pl_id);
          end if;
          pl_id:=create_parameter_list('tmpdata');
          add_parameter(pl_id,'PRINTJOB',TEXT_PARAMETER,'YES');
RUN_PRODUCT (REPORTS,'report.REP',ASYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,PL_ID,NULL);
end;

Does airprint allow printing select pages?

airprint is working fine with Epson WF-3520 but the only option when printing from iPhone 4 and iPad Mini is the number of copies. should there also be the option of which pages to print, e.g., pages 1-2 of 6 pages?

Some apps enable the page range selecton while others do not. You can see the page range selection here:

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?

I downloaded the Arcobat SDK and now learning to use it with its sample.
