4. Printing a Purchase Order

Since purchase orders are accessed in PDF format, it is important to keep your computer up-to-date with the most current release of Adobe Acrobat Reader .

This will allow for the greatest ease in printing your purchase orders, although all previous versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader are capable of producing viewable/readable printed documents.

Here are some suggestions, if a newer version of Adobe Acrobat Reader cannot be obtained:

Versions 6.x
If you have Acrobat Reader 6 , choose File > Print , click on the " Advanced " button, check the " Print as Image " option, and try printing again.
If you have Acrobat Reader 6 , choose File > Print , and in the drop down list next to " Page Scaling ," make sure that " None " is selected.

Versions 5.x
If you have Acrobat Reader 5.1 , choose File > Print , and deselect the " Optimize for Speed" option in the Print dialog box, and try printing again. If that doesn't work, choose File > Print, and check the " Print As Image " option in the Print dialog box, and try printing again.
If you have Acrobat Reader 5.1 , choose File > Print , and make sure that the " Shrink Oversized Pages to Paper Size " option in the Print dialog box is NOT checked.

Versions 4.x
If you have Acrobat Reader 4 , choose File > Print , and make sure that the " Fit To Page " option in the Print dialog box is NOT checked.

When printing Adobe Acrobat PDF files from within your web browser, AVOID USING THE WEB BROWSER PRINT FACILITY . Instead, use the print button at the left end of the special Adobe Acrobat toolbar, which appears immediately above the viewing window.

The rest of the fields under Report Request Parameters as well as the fields under Miscellaneous Options do not need to be filled in unless you are searching for something more specific. Entering the PO ID number is all you need to get the PO printed.
