Print to File from Print Module

[MarkGilvey]

Wouldn't it be great if you could print to a file from the print module? I like to set up print pages so that my image is optically centered on a specific page size. I don't have a printer, but if I could print to a file like a JPEG or tiff, I could then send that file to a printing company.

Hi Mark, you absolutely can do this. Just look in the Print Job panel, the setting "Print to:"

(1) Choose the drop down

(2) Change from Printer to JPEG file:

Found it! Can you also print to PDF?

Hi @MarkGilvey   print to PDF?  Yes you can.  Its counter-intuitive, but-

Set LrC   [Print To: ]  as "Printer" and in the Printer Setup dialog you can-

In Windows - Choose one of the Printer options like 'Microsoft Print to PDF' - I use PrimoPDF. Acrobat would have that capability.

In Mac-  I believe there is a PDF option checkbox in the Printer setup dialog.

Yes, on the Mac, look for the PDF button at the bottom of the macOS Print dialog box. I just tried it and it seems to work OK, or at least you do get a PDF with an image in it.
