Using DeskTopBinder

This section explains how to print PDF files directly without having to open a PDF application by using DeskTopBinder. To use this function, you must first download DeskTopBinder from the manufacturer's Website and install it on your computer. Contact your local dealer for information on downloading DeskTopBinder.

Important

  • This function is possible for genuine Adobe PDF files only.

  • PDF files whose PDF version is 1.7 (Acrobat 8.0 compatible) or earlier can be printed.

  • PDF files created using PDF version 1.5 Crypt Filter functions or more than eight DeviceN Color Space components cannot be printed.

  • PDF files created using PDF version 1.6 watermark note functions, or extended optional contents cannot be printed.

  • AcroForm is a function specific to PDF version 1.7 and is not supported.
