All resources on TextActivities.com have a worksheet printing option accessed via this button, which is visible in resource view and activity view:
This opens a pop-up with all sorts of worksheet options.
If your resource contains both a text and matching items, you'll see a toggle switch to allow you to switch between the text worksheet options and the vocab / matching worksheet options:
You'll see a dropdown selector with all of the various worksheet types.
TEXT WORKSHEETS
VOCAB / MATCHING WORKSHEETS
The Vocab / Matching activity worksheet types:
WORKSHEET PARAMETERS
Some worksheet types have additional parameters that you can set.
"Jigsaw tiles" for example, allows you to print worksheets with between 6 and 24 text tiles. Here's what 12 tiles looks like (without parallel text):
If your resource has a parallel text (and you've made it available for text / match activities), you'll also see the option to include it in your worksheet. The image at the top of this post shows the "Gapfill (defined)" worksheet with the parallel text added.
RESIZING CONTENT
You can use the "Text size" controls to change the size of the text, which has the effect of expanding or shrinking the content generally.
You can choose whether to print in landscape or portait layout. Once you click one of these print buttons, you should (in most modern browsers) see a print preview, showing you what your worksheet content will look like on a piece of paper. If at this stage you are not happy with the size of your content relative to the paper size, you can cancel the print preview and increase or decrease the text size to achieve the desired result.
The image below shows the print dialog (in chrome) for the French sample resource "Ma routine, passé composé", the "Initials" activity from the "Text" options, with parallel text shown, 1/2 of the words affected, following 9 clicks on the "Text size +" button:
And the image below shows the "Dominoes" worksheet from the same resource. This time just one click on "Text size +":
FIND THE FRENCH...
You can also add the original text as a parallel text for your vocab / matching activities (provided your resource is set up to allow this, like the sample resources are). Here, for example, we have the "Initials" worksheet from the "Vocab / Matching" section, with the main resource text shown as a parallel text, which turns the activity into a sort of scaffolded "Find the French" activity:
SAVE AS PDF
You'll see in the above print dialog image that the blue button says "Save" rather than "Print". This is because I chose the "Save as PDF" option from the "Destination" selector in Chrome's print dialog. I'm pretty sure most modern browsers offer similar functionality, allowing you to save directly to PDF rather than having to print the worksheet.
TRY IT FOR YOURSELF
If you have a subscription to TextActivities.com, you can of course experiment with the various print options using your own resources.
