Printing Images and Documents

With the ACDSee print utility, you can print your files on any size of paper, in any orientation, and at any resolution your printer can support. You can also use the print utility to create and print contact sheets, complete with headers, footers, and captions specific to each image.

As you change the options in the Print dialog box, you can view a dynamically updated preview of the file and its position on the page. You can adjust the output size, print multiple copies of each file or image, and change the orientation of images and documents on each page.

If you select a variety of file types to print in Manage mode and the first file is a document, only the document will print. If the first file is an image, only the images will print.

You can use the shortcut Ctrl + P to launch the print dialog.
