Using the print command in Concordance Desktop Viewer, you can print the current document displayed in the viewer. If you need to print a set or batch of documents, you can run a query and use the CDV Printing command in Concordance Desktop. See, Batch Printing with Concordance Desktop Viewer.
When printing documents, be aware of the following:
•When printing documents that have been reviewed and redacted using the viewer, be aware that any redaction placed on the document will print transparent revealing the text underneath. If you want to print redactions as opaque, you must run the documents through the Production process in Concordance Desktop, then print the document produced document.
•Printing documents that contain markups to Adobe PDF using the File > Print option, does not permanently burn the markups in the document. If you want markups burned in, you must run the documents through the Production process in Concordance Desktop, then print the produced document.

|
The Optimize for PDF/PostScript Printing option resolves the issue where some older printers and the PDF Distiller and Writer may not properly invert printouts resulting in reversed prints (black background and white foreground). When selected, this produces a bitmap of the current document/image that is sent to the printer giving accurate printouts for the problematic printer or print driver. However, selecting this option results in slower print time and a larger print spool file. |
