This article will explain how you can print materials from the HathiTrust collection.

\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions

To print a book from the HathiTrust collection, you will first need to download the book.

  1. Use the options under Download in the left sidebar to save the file to your personal device.

    An image of the download options available in the Download section in the left sidebar of the Book Viewer
  2. Then navigate to the folder on your device where you chose to save the file, and print the file as desired.

Different file formats may be easier to print. For example, our PDFs contain images of printed text and therefore may be reduced in quality by printing, whereas a text file allows you to edit and format the text to meet your needs.

HathiTrust PDFs are not optimized for printing. Most content in HathiTrust was originally scanned as image files, and those image files are compressed and combined into PDF files for download. The conversion and compression process may result in PDF files that are not printer-friendly.
