Printing PDF Form Fields Using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Printing specific form fields from a PDF document can be a straightforward task with the right settings. Whether you're filling out a form or printing only designated form fields, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC offers the necessary tools to streamline this process. However, depending on the version you have, the interface and settings may vary slightly. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate through the printing process efficiently.

Identifying the Control Settings:

  1. Open your PDF form using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
  2. Navigate to the Print option. This can typically be accessed through the File menu or by pressing Ctrl + P (Cmd + P for Mac users).
  3. In the Print dialogue box, locate the "Comments And Forms" control. This control may appear in different positions depending on your version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
  4. In some versions, the "Comments And Forms" control is situated at the lower left corner of the Print dialogue box. This control allows you to specify how form elements are printed.

Selecting Print Settings:

  1. Once you've identified the "Comments And Forms" control, click on it to reveal the available options.
  2. Depending on your requirements, choose the appropriate setting. The options typically include:
    • "None": This setting prints the PDF without any annotations or form fields.
    • "Form Fields Only": Selecting this option will print only the form fields within the document.
    • "Document and Markups": If you want to print the entire document along with any annotations or markups, this setting would be suitable.
  3. After selecting the desired setting, proceed with the printing process by clicking on the Print button.

Verifying Output:

  1. Once the printing is complete, review the output to ensure that only the specified form fields have been printed.
  2. If the output doesn't match your expectations, you may need to revisit the print settings and make necessary adjustments.
