I'm always so pleased when I find a way round some exasperating computer problem that I thought I'd share my moments of triumph ...

Preview / Mountain Lion - print selected pages solved

Huh! after much whinging - Yes! one can print just selected pages in Preview. So simple:
  • Open a pdf file, or several pdf files, in Preview
  • Set it to display thumbnails of the pages in the Sidebar (under View)
  • Select the thumbnails of the pages you'd like to print, in the usual ways. You can select pages in several different pdfs, or indeed all the pages in different pdfs. A way to combine images into one pdf file.
  • Tell it to Print - either cmd-P or File > Print
There! in the print dialogue box, you'll see an option: Selected pages in sidebar.

Then you can either print just the pages you want, or save them as a new pdf.


















If you're still in Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) then to print selected pages, select as above, and the command is in the File menu below Print.
