How to Print: Catalogs

There are several ways you can print the catalogs.  Our first suggestion is to select the specific pages you’d like to print out, rather than print the entire file.  This will save on paper usage.

1. Download the file and open it.

2. Go to “File” and select “Print.”

3. In the “Page Handling” section of the print window there are several options to choose from in the “Page Scaling” drop down list: 

  • Fit to Printable Area: will resize the page so that it fits on an 8.5″ x 11″ page.
  • Shrink to Printable Area: also fits the printed area onto 8.5″ x 11″ paper.
  • Multiple Pages per Sheet: will fit two pages of the catalog on every 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper. 
  • Leaving the Page Scaling as “None” and checking the “Auto-Rotate and Center” box will fit the catalog page to one 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper.
  • Leaving the Page Scaling as “None” and checking “Choose paper source by PDF size” will require specially sized paper and will print to the original dimensions of the printed catalog (6.93″ x 9.84″).  This is not necessary in order to print the page.

Once you’ve selected how you’d like the pages to print, you’re ready to click “OK” and send the file to the printer.
