force print just one page

Acrobat 8+ : File menu : Properties : Advanced : Print page range

(Of course, this requires end-users to use Adobe Reader 8+ )

;-)

My fault, I didn't explain myself clearly enough.

Of course, I know how to make print jobs print just one page manually. What I'm looking for is something that when readers of the document try to print it, by default only the last page is printed.

You can set up a button on the page or custom toolbar button that prints just one page, but the user can always choose to bypass it. You'd have to use the doc.print JavaScript method and specify the page range. For more information, see: Doc method - print

Me too…
(Please, be lenient since english isn't my native language... :-))


Acrobat 8+ : File menu : Properties : Advanced : Print page range :
This dialog let you set the default document's page range that will be printed, so you can define the last page as default.

Obviously, end users can always choose to bypass it.

Merlin, thanks, that did the trick. I didn't realize you could embed print properties like that in the document itself. Cool.

I agree, it's difficult writing both questions and answers sometimes. Precise and unambiguous language can be a challenge. Thanks again.

When setting the print range, would I have to add every page I wanted printing? eg: 1,2,3,4 etc: etc: or can I just add 1,36 so it would print just pages 1 to 36?

Cheers

You can use 1-36 to print those specific pages.
