If there is going to be unneeded or blank pages, it's easy to just actual print a range And you don't collect all those PDFs somewhere that have to be cleaned up. Actually, for me, it's seldom a click. I'm a keyboarder and I know the keyboard shortcut for 'print preview' in all my progs and the print preview has a shortcut key to the real printer.

I have Adobe Acrobat set to default for my printing. The options window pops up so you can change any or the printer settings and all you need to do is click once on the actual printer you wish to print to and then click OK. The only time it will create the PDF is if you actually select OK after you've clicked the 'Print' option. Actually, that’s incorrect. I have Adobe Acrobat set to default for my printing.

So many times I print something and there are 1 or two extra pages with little on them. As a PDF one can see the info one needs and print "page 2 of 3" for instance. Sure you gotta take a couple of extra steps but you save ink and paper. I think its a good idea. So many times I print something and there are 1 or two extra pages with little on them.

I leave that bad boy unplugged. For my business I rarely need to print something out, maybe a confirmation printout when flying but other than that I do have the pdf printer set as my default. (I find out half the time I print something physically out that I dont need it. I think it's the whole tangible thing with my, that's why I will pay extra for someone's real book instead of an ebook) I stay away from printing all together. I leave that bad boy unplugged.

Otherwise if you set PDF printer as your default, then every single time you need to print something you have to watch it make your pdf, then cancel/delete that then set your printer to an 'actual' printer, then you get your print out. What a long way round. Or just make sure you need to print something before pressing the print button?
