Printing in Adobe
Some of the PDF documents on the Medicare.gov website can run
over 100 pages, but you may only need the information from 1
or 2 of those pages. The following are instructions on how to
print specific pages in a document:
-
To Print the entire document, make sure the "All #
pages" option has been selected, and click the OK button.
-
To Print the current page (page being viewed) only, make
sure the "Current page" option has been selected,
and click the OK button.
-
To print selected pages in the document, make sure the
"Pages from" option has been selected, and then
enter in the page range of your choosing. To select only
1 page, enter the page number in both boxes. Reminder:
Page numbers you enter, for printing purposes only, are
to be the Adobe Acrobat Reader page numbers, and not the
page numbers on the actual pages of the document. See below
for more details on this topic.
Page Numbering in Adobe
It is important to be aware of the page numbering differences
between the Adobe Acrobat Reader and the actual documents you
are viewing. Please read this page numbering information below,
as it will simplify document viewing for you.
The illustration below shows that this document contains 3
pages, and you are viewing page 2 of 3. The actual document
shows that this is page 6. Why is this?
This is because the Adobe Acrobat Reader numbers pages differently
from the document within the reader. Adobe Acrobat simply looks
at the number of total pages within a document, and begins with
the number 1 for the first page. While this makes sense in some
cases, this numbering does not allow for unnumbered pages, such
as Cover pages and Table of Contents.
In the example above, an excerpt from a larger document was
placed into its own PDF publication. This excerpt contains pages
5, 6, and 7 of a document, but appears as pages 1, 2, and 3
in the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Please remember this numbering difference. Many of the PDF
documents on the Medicare.gov website contain references to
other pages within the document. It is important to use the
page numbers on the actual document pages in order to navigate
to referenced pages. The Adobe Acrobat Reader page numbers should
be used as more of a guide to how many total pages a document
contains.
