Printing, Saving, or Emailing Results
The easiest way to get the information is to use the Adobe Acrobat print icon to print particular pages from the catalog. Be sure to indicate which pages you wish to print when the print dialog box appears.
You also can use the Adobe Save features to save the results of your search; however, there is no way to limit the amount saved. You will save the whole catalog.
There is no convenient email feature that can be used to send results of a search.
However, if you are using the database from a workstation where you have access to a word processing program such as Word, you can cut and paste the desired information. Highlight the text you need using the T (Text Select Tool) icon on the Adobe Acrobat tool bar, copy the text, and paste it into a Word document. Then print the Word document.
