====== Common Issues ======

When using the Princh printing system for color PDF files, some students encounter problems: **images or other graphical objects are not printed**. Below is information on how to properly prepare a PDF file for printing to avoid such issues.

===== PDF Document Flattening =====

PDF flattening removes transparency from images and converts them into a format that is easier to understand and process in the Princh system.

==== Method 1 ====

1. Open the **.DOC**, **.DOCX** file in Word or the **.PDF** document in your chosen PDF viewer.

2. Press **Ctrl** and **P** on the keyboard simultaneously.

3. In the window that opens, select **Microsoft Print to PDF** in the Printer section and click **Print**.

{{:pas:spaus:stud:plokstinimas_image_0.png?350x564}}

4. Choose the folder where you want to save the new PDF file. Enter a file name and click **Save**.

{{:pas:spaus:stud:plokstinimas_image_1.png?600x383}}

5. You can now upload the created file to the Princh system and print it.

**Example in PDF Viewer:**
