How to Download, Print, and Share Documents

There are multiple options for users to download, print, and share documents within the HeinOnline interface.

Video Tutorial

Watch this short video to learn how to download, print, and share documents in HeinOnline.

Downloading a Document

To download a document from HeinOnline, you will want to locate the red PDF icon. From any results page, the PDF icon will be located to the right of each result. Simply select the icon to automatically download the document.

Printing a Document

Maybe you are only interested in downloading or printing a few pages from a document. In this case, choose the downward facing arrow icon.

Choose either of the Print Custom Page Range options to print or download selected pages in PDF or text format.

NOTE: There is a 200-page limitation for downloading and printing. Printing a document greater than 200 pages requires multiple downloads in 200-page intervals.

Print multiple PDFs at once by selecting Add another page range. Keep in mind that pop-up blockers must be turned off for this option to work properly.

Also available is a QR Code option. QR, or quick response codes, are mobile-device readable barcodes that allow users to point the camera from their device directly at the code for instant access on their smartphone or tablet.

Sharing a Document

Easily share a document with a friend or colleague using the email icon found within search results or in the image toolbar when viewing a document.

With this feature, the sender can include one of the 8 available citation formats within the email, as well as a personalized message. This can be sent to up to 10 different email addresses. Separate each email address with a semicolon.

Included in the email is a permalink so the recipient can access the document in HeinOnline, a proxy permalink if an account has branding set up, and a download PDF link which will expire in 7 days..
