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. |
