Define the print area
You've now drawn, imported, and placed all of the objects in your FreeHand file. This is often an appropriate stage in the design process to print your pages for review. With the FreeHand print area feature, you can define an area that incorporates selected areas of the pasteboard and selected areas of pages within the document.
1 |
Set your page magnification view to 25%. |
2 |
Choose File > Print Area. |
3 |
Drag the print area pointer to select page 1 and page 2. You can include the pasteboard area around the two pages, as shown in the following illustration.
|
You're now in Print Area mode. |
|
Note: You can resize or delete the print area; print area attributes save with the document. For more information, see Defining a print area. |

Click inside the print area to open the Print Area dialog box. |
5 |
In the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer you wish to print to. |

Verify that Printer is in the Destination field (Macintosh). |

In the Options pop-up menu, select FreeHand 10 (Macintosh). |
8 |
In the Scale % pop-up menu, select Fit on paper, then click OK (Windows) or Print (Macintosh) to print the area that you specified. |
Note: By default, the RGB colors in your document print as CMYK colors. For more information on using color, see "Color management overview." |
