Printing PDF files from e-journals

Frequently, users are confronted with receiving 1 blank page after issuing a print command for a selected e-journal article in PDF format. This occurs when users issue a print command from the browser ( IE, Netscape, Firefox) FILE menu. The latest revisions of Acrobat Reader require the print command to be issued from within the Acrobat reader file itself, using the printer icon.
Users may become confused when several (up to 6 toolbars) may be displaying on the computer screen. The Acrobat Reader toolbar will be the very last toolbar, always starting (from the far left ) with the icon of the floppy disc (save a copy). The second icon in, will be a little printer with paper sticking out from the top. This is the icon to click, in order to issue the print command.
