Hi, I'm having trouble printing PDF forms that I have downloaded from HMRC, although the text prints OK the boxes that I have to add details to don't print at all. I've tried various things, printing in black & white, colour and converted the PDF to Word but they still doesn't print as I'd like. No doubt it's something simple and I'll be made to look a fool however I've spent enough time and used enough ink without making any progress, any help really appreciated

Hi @Markie661,
I'd like to help!
Try and Print the PDF as an image
You can print a PDF file as an image.
NOTE:Printing a PDF file as an image can result in blurry images or fonts, especially along the edges of the print.
-
Open the original PDF file.
-
Click File, and then select Print from the list.
The Print window opens.
-
Click Advanced.
The Advanced Print Setup window opens.
-
Click the Print As Image checkbox, change any other settings as desired, and then click OK.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
