Print PDF files as images

If your PDF is not printing to your printer, you may have a problem with fonts, too much memory required to handle the job, or a variety of other potential problems that can prevent the document from printing. In many cases, you can solve the problem by printing the file as an image.

When you print a PDF as an image, all text and vector objects are rasterized (converted to bitmapped images). This option is your last resort to resolving a printing problem as the text on a printed PDF page and some graphics may well appear severely degraded. However, if you find no other solution for overcoming a printing problem, use this method.

To print as an image:

1. Select File > Print.
2. Select the Print as Image checkbox.
3. Make attribute choices for the other settings to print the file on the proper page size, proper rotation, etc.
4. Click Print and the PDF is printed as an image file.
