Printing Instructions:
When printing PDF presentations it is sometimes advantageous to print in grayscale to conserve color ink. Also, when printing, one can choose to print multiple slides on a single page. To do so, when printing, select the "Properties" button, then select the "Finishing" tab. Under "Document Options" the number of pages per sheet is configured.
