Printing

When it's time to print your document, Canvas X Draw provides a full range of printing options, allowing you to quickly deliver high quality printed documents or postscript files for professional printing. In Canvas X Draw you can choose whether to print an entire document, a selection of objects, or a selection of pages. You can also make use of layers to show or hide objects so that you only print what you need. For example, if you added annotations to a layer in your document during a review, you can choose to not print that particular layer when you print the document.

Printing a Document

If your document uses a standard paper size and you want to print all the visible objects on the page, you can simply select a printer and print the document. However, Canvas X Draw also offers the flexibility to print multiple pages on a page, scale the page to fit the paper, print color, print registration marks, and much more.

To Print a Document:

  1. Choose File | Print.
  2. In the Print dialog box, select a printer from the Printer drop-down list in the Printer Settings section.
  3. Set the Print range and Copies settings.
  4. Select any other options you want to use from the Print dialog box.
  5. Click the Print button.

See the Canvas X Draw Help for a description of all the options available in the Print dialog box
