Saving ink by not printing background images

New Here ,
Mar 15, 2016 Mar 15, 2016

Hello all of you,

I wonder if there is a way to print text only and suppress the printing of background images which consume lots of ink / toner. Does anybody have an idea?

Best regards,

Birgit

Hallo allerseits,

 

die Ausgangstexte meiner Übersetzungen erhalte ich oft als PDF. Ich extrahiere dann den Text und übersetze ihn, benötige zur Endkontrolle aber einen Ausdruck der Originaldatei. Nun sind diese oft großflächig mit schwarzen oder anderen Hintergründen versehen, die beim Ausdruck viel Toner verschwenden und null Informationswert haben.

 

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, PDF-Dateien ohne Bildhintergrund auszudrucken? Ich verwende beim Ausdruck schon die Option Farbe/Toner sparen und drucke s/w aus, aber trotzdem ärgert mich diese Verschwendung. Hat jemand eine Idee?

 

Schöne Grüße

 

Birgit

There is no built-in function in Acrobat to print only the text in a PDF file.

If the text was on a separate layer from the other graphics, you could disable printing of the non-text layer, but that of course requires that you create your PDF files in this layered approach.

Hello Dov,

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, the PDFs are created by somebody else, using InDesign. So there's no way to suppress the background?

Wouldn't that be an idea for future developments (environmental protection)?

Kind regards,

Birgit

In Adobe Acrobat DC Pro you can put all text in one layer with the Preflight tool.
