3. The next group box is named File, and it appears only if you are print-
ing documents to a file instead of a printer. If you're using a PDF
printer, then name the output something specific, and browse to
the file location you desire. You should choose to combine multiple
sheets into a single file. This is a very important property to double-
check before printing!
4. The Print Range settings allow you to specify what you want to print.
The Current Window option prints the full extent of the current view,
regardless of what extents of that view are currently visible on your
screen. The Visible portion of current window option prints only what
you currently see in the frame of the open view. Note that both of
these options allow you to do a print preview.
