14. Printing Drafts
Introduction In this module you will learn how to print a draft of your translation for checking and revising.
Before you start You have entered and checked your translation in Paratext 9 and are now ready to print out a copy. Seu projeto deve estar registrado antes de poder imprimir.
Why this is important It is much easier to revise and check your work on paper than on the computer. Você também pode compartilhá-lo com mais pessoas se estiver em papel.
What you are going to do You will first produce a PDF version of your translation, which you can print or share with others (including non-Paratext users). Se necessário, você pode copiar o arquivo PDF para o seu pen drive e levá-lo a um computador com impressora.
PTXPrint has replaced the old Print Draft PDF.
It is currently only available in Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), English, French, Hungarian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Spanish.
If it is not installed, it will ask you to download and install it first. PTXPrint is very powerful and has many options. We recommend that you select a language and then use Mini View.
