I can't say much about Acrobat Reader (acroread) 8, but in
acroread 7 what you want to do is quite simple. You first
have to know which pages you want to print; because of all the
front material, it's unlikely that the page numbers will match
the PDF do***ent's numbering, so you have to determine which
pages from the electronic do***ent you want to print. Next,
click on "File->Print" in the menu bar. On the detail page
that appears you have the option to print the whole do***ent
or a range of pages. Plus the option to print to a file.
Enter the values and select the options you want, click on
"OK" and you _should_ be good to go.
