564 Printing

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
579).

Number of copies

Sets how many copies of the document to print.
Collated

This is dimmed except when printing multiple copies of a double-page spread as two
separate pages. With this option selected, pages are printed as left-right-left-right, etc.
With this option deselected, all the left-hand pages are printed then all the right-hand
pages.

Printers that hold a page image in memory take some time to process the image. The
printer can then print multiple copies at its maximum speed. For such printers it is often
faster to manually collate the pages after printing.

Other types of printers have to process the page for each copy. For these, select collate
copies and save yourself the chore of collating.
