Saving PDF files
With larger PDF files (say, more than 50KB), it is better to save the
file to your computer, and then print from that copy. Using this method,
you avoid the risk of having a printing task interrupted if your
Internet connection fails.
There are several ways to save PDF files onto your computer - use the
method that best suits your computer set-up:
-
you may get a message from a pop-up list - choose the "Save Target as ..." or "Save Link as ..." option
-
with the PDF file open on your screen, go to "File" and choose "Save As"
or -
with the PDF file open on your screen, click on the floppy disk icon just above the document, on the left hand side.
Printing PDF files
If you have difficulty printing a PDF file, please select 'Use raster
graphics' which is found in File/Print/Setup/Properties/Graphics.
Problems opening documents
Users sometimes report they cannot open PDF documents on their computer.
Usually this is due to a setting on the computer, rather than a fault
with the file.
Adobe provides information to resolve many of these problems.
