Trying to print a snapshot

Hello. I'm trying to find a simple way to select a part of a PDF and print it. I don't want to use an external app, or Windows print screen, there must be a very simple 2-3 click way to do this. When I select a section of the screen, it gives me the option to save as a snapshot. When I try to print the snapshot, under printer, more options, it doesn't give me the option "Selected Graphic" as shown in many online turorials. I'm also not looking to print current view, only what I have selected. 

 

Driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

I've never seen a "Selected Graphic" option in the Print dialog of Acrobat, but I tried it now and it did appear!

If it doesn't for you, though, then what you can do is create a new PDF from the screenshot, and then print it.

You can do that via File - Create - From Clipboard, after you've taken the screenshot. You can close the file without saving it after it's printed.

Since @JR Boulay has already provided the correct answer. Just adding a bit more to it.

Using Acrobat, you can take a snapshot of a PDF and then print that portion only. Once you take the snapshot, click on print, and that selected snap will only be printed.
