How can I prevent the printing of headers and footers in the browser?
When printing PDF documents in the View perspective, information may also be printed that is typically for printing in the browser in Internet Explorer. This information can be, for example, the number of pages or the URL.
You can also specify in the browser that this additional information should not be printed along with the content of the PDF file.
This is how it works
Let's suppose you want to quickly print an invoice with several pages, which is stored as PDF document. The paper printout must only display the content of the invoice. Thus, you need to modify the printing setting in your browser. Depending on the browser, the following steps and options may vary in naming.
In Internet Explorer, click on the File menu.
Click on the Print menu entry and then on Page setup.
Select the Empty option for headers and footers in the Page Setup dialog.
Once you save the settings, any PDF file you print from the browser are printed without header and footer.
If you do not see the File menu in Internet Explorer, click on the gear icon to open the dialog for setting up a page.
