bottom, left to right. Vertical Reversed places pages top to bottom, right to left. Both reversed options are suitable for
Asian-language documents.
Print Page Border Draws the crop box (the page boundary of PDF pages) during N-up printing.
Auto-Rotate And Center Automatically selects the page orientation that best matches the content and paper. For
example, a spreadsheet could print horizontally, while a newsletter could print vertically. The Auto-Rotate And Center
option overrides the orientation selected in Page Setup.
Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size (Windows) Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather than
the page setup option. This option is useful for printing PDFs that contain multiple page sizes on printers that have
different-sized output trays.
Print To File (Windows) Creates a device-dependent PostScript file of the document. The resulting file contains code
for enabling and controlling specific device features, making it less compatible with devices other than the target
device. For better results when creating PostScript files, use the Save As PostScript command. The Save As PostScript
command isn’t available in Adobe Reader®.
Note: You don’t need to have a PostScript printer to create a PostScript file.
Printing Tips If you’re connected to the Internet, this option connects to the Adobe website for information on how
to troubleshoot printing problems.
Advanced Opens one or more panels for setting additional printing options.
Summarize Comments Creates a separate, printable PDF of the comments in a document. This option is unavailable
when you print from a web browser or print multiple documents in PDF Portfolios. See
“Print a comment summary”
on page 144.
