Printing from Revu
Revu provides a robust collection of print options. This document covers the basic Print options; there are also several Advanced Printing options for control over the print processing engine built into Revu. To print multiple PDFs at the same time, see Batch Printing.
Printing in Revu is controlled through the Print dialog . To open this dialog and print the current PDF, go to File >
Print.
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 is discussed below.
Shows how the PDF will appear on the printed page. Red borders indicate the margins defined for the page. Step through the pages using the navigation tools at the bottom of the preview pane.
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.
To File: When enabled, saves print information to a .prn file rather than sent to the printer.
Page Range: Select a range of pages to be printed from the following options:
- 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 you select this option, replace any text left in the field with the page or pages to be printed directly. 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.
Get Window: Temporarily returns to the document to define a rectangular region to set the print area.
Size: Lists the page sizes available to print. Choose Portrait or Landscape orientation.
Auto: Select this option to have Revu determine the physical paper size to use based on the page definition of the PDF.
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 selected, the order will be 1,2,3,1,2,3. This option is not available when printing only one copy.
Reverse: Prints the file in reverse page order.
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. Enter a custom scale percentage to manually scale the document to the page.
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.
Center: Automatically centers the content on the page. To manually position the content, turn off this option and enter the X and Y position of the upper-left corner of the content.
Dim Page Content: Dims the page content so that annotations appear more prominently in the printout.
Dim Filtered Markups: Dims the markups so the content of the page appears more prominently.
Print Spaces: Shows Spaces on printed page.
Print Visible Hyperlinks: Shows Hyperlink markups that have the "Visible" property enabled on the printed page.
