Printing part of Interactive PDF

[robindomani]

We are working with CC2019, on MacOS 10.14.6. For a customer, I've designed a A4 landscape oriented report in InDesign. I added a sidebar on the right hand side, with navigation tools (next page, previous page, etc), including a print option. I export the design to an interactive PDF. What I want to accomplish is that printing the PDF leaves out the navigation bar. So only the (A4 size) page will be printed. 

Is there a way to do that, via InDesgn or Acrobat? Thanks!!!

No, no way to control printing. You can create "do no print" content in some cases (probably NOT with InDesign) but it will leave a space.

OK, thanks. That saves me a lot of time searching for an answer.

Hi

If your sidebar is made of form fields, you can set them to "Visible but doesn't print'.

If your sidebar is made into the layout, you can place it on a separate layer and set it to "Never print".

If your sidebar is made with both, you can use use both.

This requires Acrobat Pro, I'm not sure if you can do it with InDesign.

Great! Thanks.

It works quite well.
