Settings

Print dialog - allows you to choose which print dialog to use in PDF Studio.

Print with Windows/Mac/Linux: Prints the PDF using the default system print dialog. The settings in this dialog will be determined by the operating system not PDF Studio. Below are additional settings that will be enabled when printing with the System.
Print with PDF Studio: Prints the PDF using the PDF Studio dialog. When selected the settings below will be disabled because these settings are available directly in the PDF Studio print dialog.

Print with Windows/Mac/Linux Settings

Print Options - Additional print options to size the content to the page.

Center In Page: center the page in the paper. No effect if the pages in a document are larger than the paper they are being printed on.
Shrink To Margins: shrink pages so that they fit in the paper. No effect if the pages in a document are smaller than the paper they are being printed on.
Expand To Margins: expand pages to fill the paper they are being printed on. No effect if the pages in a document are larger than the paper they are being printed on.

Orientation - The layout and direction of the content being placed on the page

Auto Rotate pages: rotate the printout to match the width and length with the paper. The portrait / landscape settings cannot be set by the user when this option is selected.
Scale image to output - tells the printer to rescale images to match output DPI, setting it to false sends the image in its original size and lets the printer resize it.
