Select the printer. In the Print dialog box, you will be able to select the printer you want to send the document to. This is especially important if you have many printers around.

Check that the printer you choose is connected directly to the computer or network you are using and is working properly.

The printer must have the required amount of paper.

Select advanced printing options. Select advanced printing by clicking the "Properties" button. Here, some options can be made with the layout, finishing and other features on the PDF file. In addition, this is also where you can choose to print in color or print in black and white.

The location of the features depends on the software you use to open the PDF file.

In Adobe Reader, you can print front cover with back cover from the "Cover Mode" tab. Alternatively, you can select "Toner Save" under "Quality" to save printer ink. However, this has the potential to slightly degrade the quality of the print. Another way to save paper is to print two-sided, select "Two-Sided" under Print Type in the "Layout" tab.
