That doesn't work.

The Snapshot tool functions, in a literal sense, but it doesn't achieve my goal. I use that when I want to paste a small area from a PDF drawing into an email, for example. That Snapshot simply creates a bitmap/raster image that is somewhat "fuzzy" when you zoom-in or try and print larger. What I need is a crisp/high quality VECTOR graphic, which is what it would do if I had the "selected graphic" option. I just want to print what's inside my "blue box" selection area, on a large piece of paper (i.e. "blow it up"). The Snapshot function doesn't do what I need, and I SUSPECT it's because I have the Standard Acrobat version (DC), not "Acrobat Pro DC". Am I right? Anyone?

I'm trying to print this view, as large as possible, on a vertically-oriented 11x17...I'm trying to blow up only what's seen in the blue box. As you can see, there is no option like you have, on my print dialog box. I have Acrobat STANDARD DC. Not pro. Is that the difference?

Print portion of a PDF page using Acrobat or Reader That link shows the "new way" to do what I'm talking about, but it doesn't work for me You can print a portion of a page in a PDF. The Snapshot Tool lets you select just the area you want to print. The area can be text, graphics, or both. You can print the selected area full size or resize it to fit the paper.

When I use the selection tool to highlight a blue box (area on a page) of an area I want to print, I can't get it to come up as an option to print just that area. I don't want to print the current VIEW, I want to print JUST THE AREA I'VE SELECTED. My only options are: 1) All 2) Current page 3) Pages... (fill in range) then: More Options 4) Current view 5) Odd or Even Pages (pull down menu for all/even/odd pages) I swear on an older version I was able to print just what I had selected, so I could essentially "blow up" an area of a page and print on whatever size paper I wanted. Why do I have the new/fancy version and have less usability than in previous versions? What am I missing? Is the option hidden somewhere in a menu I can't find?
