Tired of having to select Document and Markups in the Comments and Forms field in the Printer Dialog Box manually. Is there an easy way to make this my default print setting?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows

Adobe doesn't "officially" support Acrobat 8 any longer, but you could try creating a print preset:

Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced tab.
In the Print Dialog Presets section, set options and click OK.
The next time you open the Print dialog box, the values will be set to the print preset values. These settings are also used when you print individual PDFs in a PDF Portfolio.

Note: To retain a print preset for a PDF, you must save the PDF after creating the print preset.

Thanks for taking a shot at this one Kelly, but doesn't look like using the print presets are going going to do the trick. The Comments and Forms field is conspicuously absent from the Print Dialog Preset options.

Realize I'm a bit of a Luddite still clinging to version 8, but I've got no compelling reason to upgrade just yet. The irritating thing about this particular issue is all the other computers in my department seem to default to printing comments. Guess I must just be "special"!
