Printing from PDF

9/6/2017

2. It will then bring up a list of programs. This may differ between computers. Select ‘Adobe Acrobat Reader DC’. Many computers may come with it installed, but if yours doesn’t have this, it can easily be installed from adobe.com

From there you can select your printer and make any other changes to the print settings you want, and then hit print! Now your document should print just fine.
 This process should also work with other PDF readers as well as Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, just ensure that you are not using Google Chrome to print your document.
