within the bounds of the selected objects are not printed – only the objects which are
actually selected are printed.
Hidden objects, objects on hidden layers and the guides layer never print. See Page &
Layer Gallery for more details.
PAGE RANGE: Allows you specific control over which pages you wish to print. You can
type specific pages numbers, separated by commas, or page ranges by typing two
numbers with a hyphen in between them.
Page range examples:
2 will print just page 2.
1,3,5-7 will print pages 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7.
2,3,6-8,11-12 will print pages 2,3,6,7, 8,11 and 12.
The Options section of the dialog will indicate if your page range is OK or invalid.
Double page spreads
If the document comprises a double-page spread, you can print both sides or just the
left or just the right page.
This option is dimmed when the spread comprises a single page (see Document
Handling (on page 49) for how to select single or d
ouble-page spreads). Or the
"
PRINT/EXPORT INDIVIDUAL PAGES" is active in the Page Options (on page 353), so
that the two pages of a double-page spread are treated as individual single pages.
Print to File
You can select the PRINT TO FILE option to create a document that you can give to a
printing company (if they are able to accept this type of file).
After checking this option, when you click
PRINT Page & Layout Designer displays the
standard Windows
SAVE dialog box so you can specify a file name and location for the
file.
Print files have a default extension of .prn.
If you want to create a PDF file we recommend selecting the "File -> Export…" option
and selecting PDF. This produces a higher quality, and usually more compact PDF file
than you'd get from printing to a PDF file.
For more information on exporting as PDF refer to Importing and Exporting (on page
304).
