I'm using Preview to view a PDF document in Mac OS X 10.6. How can I print the current page that I'm viewing? When I select File
- Print
, there's nowhere to enter the page number. If I select Print Selected Page
, it prints the selected page in the table on contents. This only works if I go manually search for the current page in the table on contents and then selected it - sort of a pain for large documents.

The selected page is always also the currently viewed page when you view the sidebar as thumbnails. So change to that view e.g. by pressing Cmd-Opt-2
to use that function by pressing Cmd-Opt-P
. With Cmd-Opt-3
, you get back to the table of contents -- unfortunately possibly changing selection.
You can enter the page number you want to print in the regular print dialog, see focused element below:
You just need to enter the page number displayed in the window title of the document.

View thumbnails works great. My print dialog doesn't has any of the page number options as you've shown. Mar 15, 2011 at 17:25

@Wavy Did you press the disclose button on the top right so you have a very minimal dialog? If just these options are missing, consider asking a new question about it. It sure sounds odd.– Daniel Beck ♦Mar 15, 2011 at 17:41

Yup,that was it. I pressed disclose and all the options are now visible. Mar 15, 2011 at 18:47
