USING ACROBAT 9 PRO 420 Printing 2 If a custom printer settings file exists with the settings you want, choose it from the Settings menu. Otherwise, choose Acrobat Default. To learn more about an option, select it. A description of it appears at the bottom of the dialog box. 3 If normal printing doesn't produce the desired results, select Print As Image and choose a resolution from the dropdown list. 4 Select any of the panels on the left side of the Advanced Print Setup dialog box, and set options for either composite or separations output. Note: Some options in the general Print dialog box affect settings in the Advanced Print Setup dialog box. For example, selecting the Print Color As Black option (Windows) affects color settings in Advanced Print Setup. • Set color and other output conditions. See "Output options" on page 422. • Set options for printer marks. See "Include marks and bleeds" on page 424. • Set options for PostScript printers. See "PostScript options" on page 420. Note: Acrobat sets the PostScript level automatically, based on the selected printer. • Set options for managing color. See "Color management options" on page 425. 5 To save the settings using a unique name, click Save As, specify a filename, and click OK. 6 Click OK to accept the settings and return to the Print dialog box. PostScript options Use the PostScript Options panel of the Advanced Print Setup dialog box to set options for a particular PostScript printer. These options include how to handle nonresident printer fonts and whether to download Asian fonts. If a PDF contains device-dependent settings, such as halftones and transfer functions, these settings can be sent in the PostScript output to override the default settings in the printer. To use these options, you must be connected to a PostScript printer or have a PostScript printer driver installed with a PPD file selected. Font And Resource Policy Specifies how fonts and resources in the document are sent to a printer when those fonts and resources aren't present on the printer. • Send At Start Downloads all fonts and resources at the start of the print job. The fonts and resources remain on the printer until the job has finished printing. This option is the fastest but uses the most printer memory. • Send By Range Downloads fonts and resources before printing the first page that uses them, and then discards them when they are no longer needed. This option uses less printer memory. However, if a PostScript processor reorders the pages later in the workflow, the font downloading can be incorrect, resulting in missing fonts. This option does not work with some printers. • Send For Each Page Downloads all fonts and resources for a given page before the page prints, and then discards the fonts when the page has finished printing. This option uses the least printer memory. Print Method Specifies the level of PostScript to generate for the pages. Choose the level of PostScript appropriate for your printer. Download Asian Fonts Prints documents with Asian fonts that aren't installed on the printer or embedded in the PDF. The Asian fonts must be present on the system. Convert TrueType To Type 1 Converts TrueType fonts to PostScript fonts for PostScript file. Some older PostScript output devices require this conversion. Last updated 9/30/2011
