Using Your Browser's "Print" function TOP

Use your browser's Print function for printing a table of contents, a list of titles in a search result, a single abstract, or a list of selected abstracts. To print full articles, you will get the best results by printing the version found by clicking on the "Reprint (PDF) Version of this article" link, as described below.

To use this Print function, select Print under the File menu.

• To view the PDF version of an article, click on the [Reprint (PDF) Version of this article] link. If the Acrobat Reader is present on your hard disk and if your browser is configured to open PDF files in Acrobat, you will retrieve a version of the article that looks very much like the article in the printed Journal. Select Print under Acrobat's File menu to print this version.

• PDF files are very large and retrieving them may take several minutes. The speed depends primarily on the speed of your network connection, the volume of Internet traffic, and the speed of your own computer. You must display the PDF version in the Acrobat Reader before it can be printed.

• Because PDF files are large, you should close any open PDF documents before opening a new one to avoid memory limitations.

• The Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view and print articles but it does not allow you to save an article to your disk. To do this, point to [Reprint (PDF) Version of this article]. Hold down your mouse button on your Mac until a new menu appears. If you use Windows, use the right button on your mouse to display the menu. Select Save this Link as.... Under Format, select Source. Type a name for the saved file and click Save.

• There is a second optional way to save PDF files on your disk. When you download a PDF file, your browser stores a temporary copy of the file on your hard disk; this file is automatically deleted when you quit. Using your computer's Search or Find File function, locate the file(s) you wish to save (the name(s) will end in pdf) and move them to another folder/directory on your hard disk before quitting your browser.
