That way you can select how much to print out at a time. Steps: Download and install the free Adobe Acrobat reader version 5.x run the reader and open your PDF file click on the Thumbnail tab to the left side of the reader window Print a contiguous range of pages: Select the first page you want to print with your mouse and holding down the SHIFT key move to the last page you want to print and click on that page Then click File | Print you should see a window which should have a radio button selected in the 'Selected Pages' now click on OK Print a disparate range of pages: Select the first page you want to print with your mouse and holding down the CTRL key move to the next page you want to print and click on that page continue holding down CTRL key and click each of the pages you want to print Then click File | Print you should see a window which should have a radio button selected in the 'Selected Pages' now click on OK In either case you are only printing the pages you selected. Hope this is of some use to you Tony Cheers, Babe.	Guest (0)
