Adobe Acrobat Reader

The presentation data are by default directy transferred to the printer. By selecting the option Adobe Acrobat Reader, a pdf file is created in the background and sent by Acrobat Reader to the selected printer. The file transferred is generally smaller than the original file. It is recommended to select this option when print problems arise or when the printing lasts very long.

Please note that this option transfers the file always to the selected printer. In order to save the presentation as a pdf file, please use the function Save presentation.

Text as graphics

Converts the whole text into graphics before the printing is performed. This option is recommanded if the printer does not print text properly.

Selection only

Prints only the model items, which have been previously selected on the presentation panel.
