Printing Images

Printing an Image or a Series

Introduction

Synapse provides you with the ability to directly print images to a PDF file to the default printer.

  • Use PDF Print to print directly to a PDF file without any additional user action required. The PDF Print option uses your last, saved PDF options.

    • Note:
    • You must have Thin Component to directly print to a PDF without any further interaction.
    • The latest version of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader is required to use the PDF Print option.

  • Use the Export/Print option to export or print images. The selection you make for the Export option determines whether the Export dialog box or the Print View window displays. For more information, see Changing the Export Option.

Steps

  1. Right-click the image you want to print. Synapse displays a context menu.
  2. Select one of the following print options:
    • Select Export/Print > PDF Print or use the SHIFT + P key combination to open the Print View window.
      • Hover the mouse near the top of the Print View window to display the context menu for the current image.
    • Select Export/Print > Export or use the CTRL + S key combination to open the Export dialog box.
