Printing 563

Options button
This opens a tabbed dialog box that lets you set additional print options. These are
described later (on page 564).
Pages

ALL PAGES: Prints every page of the document.
CURRENT PAGE(S): Prints the currently selected page or spread.

SELECTED OBJECTS: This option is available when any objects in the document are
selected. When active, only the selected objects are printed. Note that other objects
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 for how to select single or double-page spreads). Or the "PRINT/EXPORT
INDIVIDUAL PAGES" is active in the Page Options (on page 635), 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 Designer Pro 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.
