Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 4.0

 

If Download Asian Fonts is not selected, the PDF document prints correctly 
only if the referenced fonts are installed on the printer. If the fonts are not on 
the printer but the printer has similar fonts, the printer substitutes the similar 
fonts. If there are no suitable fonts on the printer, Courier is used for the text.

If you have a PostScript Level 1 printer that does not support Type 0 font exten-
sions, or if Download Asian Fonts does not produce the results you want, print 
the PDF document as a bitmap image. Printing a document as an image may 
take longer than using a substituted printer font.

 

 

Use Printer Halftone Screens prints halftones using the printer’s halftone 

screens. If you do not select this option, the halftones are printed using 
halftone information from the PDF file. 

 

Note:

 

 If Use Printer Halftone Screens is not selected, and if the halftone infor-

mation sent to the printer from the PDF file is not appropriate for that printer, 
the screens may produce “muddy” images.

 

Printing PDF documents from the command line (UNIX)

print PDF files from the command line. To print the file

printer, type the following:
