Print PDF Node

The Print PDF node is used when PDF documents need be sent to a printer as a part of the workflow. Different options can be set such as choosing the printer to send the document to, setting page ranges and more.

General Settings

Printer - The name of the printer you wish to print to

Copies - The number of copies of the document to be printed

Collate: Keeps pages in order when printing multiple copies. For example, if unchecked, two copies of a three-page document will print in this order: 1,1,2,2,3,3. If checked, the order will be 1,2,3,1,2,3. This option is not available when printing only one copy.

Print to File - Use this option to send the printer output to the payload instead of the printer.

Pages

All Pages: all pages in the document

Page Range: set custom range of pages if needed using values separated by commas. For example, to print only pages 2 to 4 & 6 to 12 & 20 of a 30 page document enter “2-4, 6-12, 20″. Documents using Page Labels will require the exact page label to be entered (i.e. iv, v, etc...)

First Page: the first page of the document

Last Page: the last page of the document

Subset: Subset of the currently set page range to print. Choose from the below options
