Printing from Pages (HTML)

In order to get the best results, try the following:

1. Set your Page Setup to Landscape mode. This should print the page in a horizontal format.

2. In Page Setup, Reduce the page to 80% or lower.
   You may need to try different reduction amounts to find the optimum setting for your printer.

3. Set Backgrounds to Do Not Print.

Printing from PDFs (Portable Document Format)

Many documents on the farmdoc site are PDFs.

1. Set your Page Setup to Normal mode (not Landscape).

2. In Page Setup select Shrink to Fit or setting the Page Reduction to 90% or lower.

Using PDFs

PDF files retain all of the color, layout and graphic features of the original printed document. PDF files also allow you to print an entire document at once instead of printing each page separately from your web browser.

In order to view or print PDF files, you must use a software application called Adobe Acrobat Reader. This application is available for free from the Adobe Acrobat Free Reader web page.

Step 1.
Check to see if you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your hard drive. If not, visit the Adobe Acrobat Free Reader web page and follow the instructions for your computer system.

Step 2.
Choose the document that you wish to download in PDF format.

Step 3.
When the PDF file you selected has downloaded completely to your computer, start the Adobe Acrobat Reader application and open the file. (Some browsers will automatically start the reader for you.) You may then view or print the file.
