PDF documents

PDF documents (like notes from lecturers) often contain rather big pictures. Printing these notes may result in long waiting times, since it requires much greater computing power to properly send the document to the printer.
Therefore it is recommended, to proceed as follows:
Open the document (usually pdf format) and choose “Print”.

 Click on “Advanced” in the lower left corner.

Select “Print As Image” in the proceeding window. Hit “OK” twice to print.
