Printing a Selection of a Page in Adobe Acrobat

If you've ever wondered how to print a portion of a single page in a PDF document in Acrobat, here is what you need to do:

  1. Open the document, and go to the page you would like to print.
  2. In Acrobat X/Reader X, Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    In Acrobat 9/Reader 9,  Choose Tools > Select & Zoom > Snapshot Tool.
  3. Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print.  It will highlight the selection that will be printed
  4. Go to File --> Print
  5. Make any changes to the way it will print as you usually would (Fit to Page, Custom Scaling, etc.)
  6. Click the Print button!

This works in both Reader and Acrobat.
