We don't use PDF too often as far as printing a isolated part of it..such as right now..my wife wants to just print this one coupone for something..not the whole ad or not even all four coupons that are showing up on one page. We have been trying to play with all the options and we see you can choose to do many things..but we are not able to figure out how to just isolate/hightlight/choose/etc..how to just print one coupon.
We know how to print just one page..but we'd like to take it further..not waste ink..low..and just print one coupon if possible.
Thanks in advance.

I'm a Mac dude, so I'll try to offer a generic solution. A PDF is basically an electronic print-out, so unless you have Adobe Acrobat, you can't do much.

If you have Adobe ACrobat, you can crop in on the area you want to use.

If not, can you zoom in on the area you want to use? If so, do that then do a screen capture (I think it's called PrintScreen for the PC). That'll save the zoomed-in image as a new file.

Does that help you?

I should have mentioned that..yes..she is looking at the coupons in PDF using Adobe..she thought she had figurd out how to highlight/isolate just the coupon she wanted..but when she went to print..it still showed all the coupons on that one page.
Not figuring out exactly how to use the tools in just the right way I guess you could say.

After reading your post again..yes..this is exactly what she is trying to do..and thought she had figured out..but it didn't hold when she went to print..it still showed that she would be printing all the coupons on that page.
If someone could give exact instructions on how to make it stick/hold until she prints just that coupon.
Thanks again.

Select the coupon and when you print, just print selection instead of all?

Not possible from what we can tell..it's a copy that was posted of a entire ad. So whatever coupons are on that page..are what gets printed..so I suppose I should have put it this way..how do you..print in using Adobe..just a section of a page? How do you highlight/select/isolate..just a section of a page and print just that part..we thought we had it figured out..but once we hit print..it didn't hold and still wanted to print the whole page.

With the coupon showing on your screen, press the Prnt Scrn button. Then open Paint or some other picture program and click Edit/Paste. Then you can crop anything else out of the picture and just print what you want.

Figured it out..I knew there had to be a way..used the snapshot tool..left moused over just that coupon section of the ad..after making a square..it 'took a picture of just that..when I right clicked..there was now a option for copy selected graphic..when she hit print..just that coupon showed up to print..

He's talking about ACROBAT and I'd bet money you're only using ACROBAT READER since that's the free one. Sounds like you got it figured out, though.

You may need to update your printer driver.
