what should I do when I’m ready to
print a document?
Choose File > Print to open the
Print dialog box. To print a book or
selected documents in a book, you
must open the Print dialog box from
the Book panel menu.
The Print dialog box has eight
panes: General, Setup, Marks And

Management, Advanced, and Summary.
Each pane includes a set of
related controls. You can manually

settings in the Print dialog box, and
then click Save Preset at the bottom
of the dialog box. You can also create
print presets by choosing File > Print
Presets > Define.
