Print from Revu

Revu provides a robust collection of print options, all controlled from just a couple dialog boxes. This document covers the basic Print options; there are also several Advanced Printing options for control over the print processing engine built into Revu.

ClosedPrinting from Revu

Printing in Revu is controlled through the Print dialog box. To open this dialog box and print the current PDF, click Print or press CTRL+P.

Print options are broken up into sections. Some of these will be integral to your current print job and others will probably go untouched. Each section and its options are discussed below.

ClosedPreview Section
ClosedPrinter Section

Name: Lists the available printers on the system.

Properties: Opens the Windows Properties panel for the currently selected printer.

Status: Reports if the printer is ready, toner status, and so on. Status information varies by printer model.

Type: Reports the model of printer selected.

ClosedForm Settings Section

Auto-Select Paper Size: Select this option to have Revu determine the physical paper size to use based on the page definition of the PDF.

Size: Use this list to select the page size manually. Choose Portrait or Landscape orientation.

Shows how the PDF will appear on the printed page. Red borders appear to indicate the margins defined for the page. Step through the pages using the navigation tools at the bottom of the preview pane.

ClosedPage Range Section

To select a Page Range, click the Pages menu and select from the following:

  • All Pages: Sets the range to all pages.
  • Current: Sets the range to the current page only. The current page number will appear in parentheses, for example, Current (2) if page 2 is the current page.
  • Selected: Sets the range to the current selection. This option only appears if pages were selected prior to invoking the command.
  • Custom: Sets the range to a custom value. When this option is selected the list becomes a text box. To enter a custom range:
    • Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.
    • Use a comma to define pages that are separated.

    For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.

Subset: Select whether to print All pages, or just the Odd or Even pages.

Reverse: Check this box to print the file in reverse page order.

Current View: Check to print only the portion of the PDF currently displayed in the main workspace.

Get Window: Click this button to temporarily return to the document to define a rectangular region to set the print area.

ClosedPage Handling Section

Print: Defines what streams print. Choose among Document & Markups, Document Only, or Markups Only.

Copies: Determines how many copies of the PDF or selected pages will print.

Collate: Keeps pages in order when printing multiple copies. For example, if unchecked, two copies of a three-page document will print in this order: 1,1,2,2,3,3. If checked, the order will be 1,2,3,1,2,3. This option is not available when printing only one copy.

Rotation: Rotates the page content or allows Revu to automatically rotate the content when appropriate.

Page Scaling:

None: Prints the page at full scale.

Fit to Paper: Expands or shrinks the page to fit the paper size.

Reduce to Paper: Reduces the page to fit the paper.

Custom Scale: Activates the Custom Scale field to define a custom scale as a percentage.

Fit to Margins: Expands or shrinks the page within the margins of the paper.

Reduce to Margins: Shrinks the page to fit within the margins of the paper.

Multiple Pages per Sheet: Prints multiple pages on each sheet of paper. Activates the following additional settings:

Pages per: Determines the number of pages to a sheet. Choosing a number other than 1 will result in the defined number of pages being shrunk to fit the page.

Layout: Chooses the orientation and direction of the pages on the sheet.

Print Border: Draws a box around each page on the sheet to create separation.

Dim Page Content: De-emphasizes the page content so that the annotations appear more prominent in the printout.
