Basis of Presentation	'
	1. Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “RR Donnelley”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2014 and February 27, 2014, respectively. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

	2014 Dispositions
	On August 15, 2014, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of Journalism Online, LLC (“Journalism Online”), a provider of online subscription management services, for net proceeds of $10.7 million, of which $7.7 million was received as of September 30, 2014, resulting in a gain of $11.2 million. The gain was included in net investment and other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The operations of the Journalism Online business were included in the Strategic Services segment.
	On August 11, 2014, the Company’s subsidiary, RR Donnelley Argentina S.A. (“RRDA”), filed for bankruptcy liquidation in bankruptcy court in Argentina.  The bankruptcy petition was approved by the court shortly thereafter and a bankruptcy trustee was appointed.  As a result of the bankruptcy liquidation, the Company recorded a loss of $16.4 million in net investment and other (income) expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Effective as of the court’s approval, the operating results of RRDA are no longer included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations. RRDA had net sales of $22.1 million and a loss before income taxes of $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net sales of $40.8 million and a loss before income taxes of $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The operations of RRDA were included in the International segment.
	On February 7, 2014, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of Office Tiger Global Real Estate Service Inc. (“GRES”), its commercial and residential real estate advisory services, for net proceeds of $2.3 million and a loss of $0.8 million, which was recognized in net investment and other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The operations of the GRES business were included in the International segment.
	2014 Acquisitions
	On March 25, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the North American operations of Esselte Corporation (“Esselte”), a developer and manufacturer of nationally branded and private label office and stationery products. The acquisition, combined with the Company’s existing products, created a more competitive and efficient office products supplier capable of supplying enhanced offerings across the combined customer base. The purchase price for Esselte included $82.3 million in cash and 1.0 million shares of RR Donnelley common stock, or a total transaction value of $100.6 million based on the Company’s closing share price on March 24, 2014. Esselte’s operations are included in the Variable Print segment.
	On March 10, 2014, the Company acquired the assets of MultiCorpora R&D Inc. and MultiCorpora International Inc. (together “MultiCorpora”) for approximately $6.0 million. MultiCorpora is an international provider of translation technology solutions. The acquisition of MultiCorpora expanded the capabilities of the Company’s translation services offering which supports clients’ multi-lingual communications. MultiCorpora’s operations are included in the Strategic Services segment.
	On January 31, 2014, the Company acquired Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (“Consolidated Graphics”), a provider of digital and commercial printing, fulfillment services, print management and proprietary Internet-based technology solutions, with operations in North America, Europe and Asia. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s ability to provide integrated communications solutions for its customers. The purchase price for Consolidated Graphics was $359.9 million in cash and 16.0 million shares of RR Donnelley common stock, or a total transaction value of $660.6 million based on the Company’s closing share price on January 30, 2014, plus the assumption of Consolidated Graphics’ debt of $118.4 million. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company repaid substantially all of the debt assumed. Consolidated Graphics’ operations are primarily included in the Variable Print segment. In the second quarter of 2014, Consolidated Graphics’ operations in the Czech Republic and Japan were moved from the Variable Print segment to the Europe and Asia reporting units, respectively, within the International segment to reflect corresponding changes in the management reporting structure of the organization.
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $8.2 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with acquisitions completed or contemplated, within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Acquisition-related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were de minimis.
	The Esselte, MultiCorpora and Consolidated Graphics acquisitions were recorded by allocating the cost of the acquisitions to the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the applicable acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill associated with these acquisitions is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise as a result of the acquisitions.
	For Esselte, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of approximately $110.1 million exceeded the purchase price of $100.6 million, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was recorded in net investment and other (income) expense. A $1.0 million reduction in this gain was recognized as a loss during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of finalizing the working capital settlement. The gain on the bargain purchase was primarily attributable to the Company’s ability to utilize certain tax operating losses.
	The tax deductible goodwill related to the Consolidated Graphics, Esselte and MultiCorpora acquisitions was $74.1 million.
	Based on the valuations, the final purchase price allocations for these acquisitions were as follows:
	Accounts receivable	$	241.4
	Inventories		89.6
	Prepaid expenses and other current assets		17.3
	Property, plant and equipment		334.1
	Other intangible assets		205
	Other noncurrent assets		11.9
	Goodwill		300.1
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(218.0	)
	Other noncurrent liabilities		(57.5	)
	Deferred taxes-net		(96.6	)
	Total purchase price-net of cash acquired		827.3
	Less: debt assumed		118.4
	Less: value of common stock issued		319
	Less: gain on bargain purchase		9.5
	Net cash paid	$	380.4
	The fair values of other intangible assets, technology and goodwill associated with the acquisitions of Esselte, MultiCorpora and Consolidated Graphics were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair values, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs for these Level 3 measurements:
		Fair Value			Valuation Technique		Unobservable Input	Range
	Customer relationships	$	178.2		Excess earnings		Discount rate	17.0% - 21.0%
							Attrition rate	5.0% - 9.5%
	Trade names		26.5		Relief-from-royalty method		Discount rate	19.00%
							Royalty rate (after-tax)	0.5% - 1.5%
	Technology		1.1		Excess earnings		Discount rate		17.00%
	The fair values of property, plant and equipment associated with the Consolidated Graphics, Esselte, and MultiCorpora acquisitions were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Property, plant and equipment values were estimated using either the cost or market approach, if a secondhand market existed.
	2013 Disposition
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of R.R. Donnelley SAS (“MRM France”), its direct mail business located in Cosne sur Loire, France, for a loss of $17.9 million, which was recognized in net investment and other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The loss included cash incentive payments due to the purchaser of $18.8 million, of which $16.4 million was paid as of September 30, 2014 with the remaining balance to be paid by January 2016. The operations of the MRM France business were included in the International segment.
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $1.1 million and $2.2 million of acquisition-related expenses, respectively, associated with acquisitions contemplated within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Restructuring and Impairment Charges
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $4.8 million and $27.8 million, respectively, for employee termination costs for 546 employees, of whom 518 were terminated as of September 30, 2014. These charges primarily related to the integration of Consolidated Graphics, including the closure of seven Consolidated Graphics facilities as well as one additional facility closure within the Variable Print segment, one facility closure in the Publishing and Retail Services segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $5.1 million and $16.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, including charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations as a result of facility closures. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company also recorded $0.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of impairment charges primarily related to buildings, machinery and equipment and trade names associated with facility closures. The impairment charges are net of gains related to the sale of previously impaired other long-lived assets. The fair values of the buildings and machinery and equipment were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions.
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $17.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively, for employee termination costs for 1,276 employees, substantially all of whom were terminated as of September 30, 2014. These charges primarily related to the closing of two manufacturing facilities within the Publishing and Retail Services segment and one manufacturing facility within the Variable Print segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $7.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, including charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company also recorded $7.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closures.
	Other Charges
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded other charges of $9.7 million and $34.0 million, respectively, as a result of its decision to withdraw from all multi-employer pension plans serving facilities that are currently operating. These charges for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations, unrelated to facility closures, represent the Company’s best estimate of the expected settlement of these withdrawal liabilities. The total liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from all multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $8.9 million and $95.5 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2014.
	The Company’s withdrawal liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in the plans and any decisions by those employers to withdraw from the plans in the future. While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future events or circumstances, reductions in other employers’ participation in multi-employer pension plans, including certain plans from which the Company has previously withdrawn, could have a material impact on the Company’s previously estimated withdrawal liabilities, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
	Restructuring Reserve
	The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were as follows:
		December 31,			Restructuring		Foreign			Cash			September 30,
		2013			Charges		Exchange and			Paid			2014
							Other
	Employee terminations	$	19.7		$	27.8	$	1		$	(31.2	)	$	17.3
	Multi-employer pension withdrawal obligations		36.8			2.6		(0.6	)		(3.4	)		35.4
	Lease terminations and other		21.1			13.4		1.5			(19.6	)		16.4
	Total	$	77.6		$	43.8	$	1.9		$	(54.2	)	$	69.1
	The current portion of restructuring reserves of $27.0 million at September 30, 2014 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $42.1 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures and lease termination costs, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at September 30, 2014.
	The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by September 2015.
	Payments on all of the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be substantially completed by 2034. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals.
	The restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations, other facility closing costs and contract termination costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2026. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charges related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements.

	As the majority of the Company’s pension plans have been frozen as of December 31, 2012, the Company continues to transition to a risk management approach for its U.S. pension plan assets. The overall investment objective of this approach is to further reduce the risk of significant decreases in the plan’s funded status by allocating a larger portion of the plan’s assets to investments expected to hedge the impact of interest rate risks on the plan’s obligations. Over time, the target asset allocation percentage for the pension plan is expected to decrease for equity and other securities and increase for fixed income investments. The assumed long-term rate of return for plan assets, which is determined annually, is likely to decrease as the asset allocation shifts over time.
	In June 2014 the Company communicated to certain former employees the option to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity, with payments beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014. To the extent eligible individuals elect the option to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity, the Company’s pension obligations will be reduced. Payments to eligible participants who elect to participate in the offer will be funded from existing pension plan assets and will constitute a complete settlement of the Company’s pension liabilities with respect to these participants.  The discount rates and actuarial assumptions used to calculate the payouts will be determined according to federal regulations.  The reduction in the reported pension obligation is expected to be approximately $395 million to $415 million, compared to expected payout amounts of approximately $295 million to $310 million. The Company expects to record a non-cash settlement charge of approximately $105 million to $115 million in the fourth quarter in connection with the settlement payments. This charge will result from the recognition in earnings of a portion of the losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the proportion of the obligation settled. The actual amount of this charge will depend on the discount rate and asset values on the settlement date.
	On August 8, 2014, the Highway and Transportation Funding Act (the “Act”) was signed into law.  The Act includes certain pension-related provisions designed to lower the pension plan contributions that plan-sponsoring companies are required to make by delaying a scheduled phase-down of the existing formula for calculating required minimum contributions.  The Company anticipates that provisions in the Act will significantly reduce the minimum required annual contributions related to its defined benefit pension plans in 2014.  The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $39 million to its pension and other postretirement benefits plans for the full year 2014, of which $33.8 million were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The Company estimates that it will make cash contributions totaling approximately $25 million to its pension and other postretirement benefits plans in 2015.

	Exercisable at September 30, 2014		1,363		$	8.95		5.3	$	10.2
	The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the number of options outstanding. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Excess tax benefits on stock option exercises, shown as financing cash inflows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $0.3 million and $0.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	Restricted Stock Units
	Nonvested restricted stock unit awards as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were as follows:
		Shares			Weighted

As of September 30, 2014, there was $15.4 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to approximately 2.0 million restricted stock units, with a weighted average grant date fair market value of $12.52, that are expected to vest over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date reduced by the present value of expected dividends through the vesting period.
	Excess tax benefits on restricted stock units that vested, shown as financing cash inflows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $2.5 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No restricted stock units vested during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Performance Share Units
	Nonvested performance share unit awards as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were as follows:
		Shares			Weighted
		(thousands)			Average Grant
					Date Fair Value

	Nonvested at September 30, 2014		1,037		$	11.48
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 319,000 performance share unit awards were granted to certain executive officers, payable upon the achievement of certain established performance targets. The performance period for the shares awarded is January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016. Distributions under these awards are payable at the end of the performance period in common stock or cash, at the Company’s discretion. The total potential payouts for awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 range from 154,500 to 319,000 shares, should certain performance targets be achieved. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date reduced by the present value of expected dividends through the vesting period. These awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including termination without cause, death, permanent disability or retirement of the grantee or a change in control of the Company.
	Compensation expense for the performance share unit awards granted in 2014, 2013, and 2012 is being recognized based on the maximum estimated payout of 319,000, 485,000, and 233,000 shares, for each respective grant year. Compensation expense for awards granted during 2011 was recognized based on the achieved target of 52%, or 121,431 shares, which were distributed during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Compensation expense related to performance share unit awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Compensation expense related to performance share unit awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $6.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Earnings per Share	'
	10. Earnings per Share
	Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to RR Donnelley common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Performance share units are considered anti-dilutive and excluded if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent have not yet been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Additionally, stock options are considered anti-dilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average of the Company’s stock price during the applicable period.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company; however, shares were withheld for tax liabilities upon the vesting of equity awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued stock in conjunction with the Consolidated Graphics and Esselte acquisitions of 16.0 million shares and 1.0 million shares, respectively.
	The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive share-based awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

	Corporate
	Corporate consists of unallocated selling, general and administrative activities and associated expenses including, in part, executive, legal, finance, communications, certain facility costs and LIFO inventory provisions. In addition, certain costs and earnings of employee benefit plans, such as pension and other postretirement benefits plan expense (income) and share-based compensation, are included in Corporate and not allocated to the operating segments. Corporate also manages the Company’s cash pooling structures, which enables participating international locations to draw on the Company’s overseas cash resources to meet local liquidity needs.
	Information by Segment
	The Company has disclosed income (loss) from operations as the primary measure of segment earnings (loss). This is the measure of profitability used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker and is most consistent with the presentation of profitability reported within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In the second quarter of 2014, Consolidated Graphics’ operations in the Czech Republic and Japan were moved from the Variable Print segment to the Europe and Asia reporting units, respectively, within the International segment to reflect corresponding changes in the management reporting structure of the organization. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments and Contingencies	'
	13. Commitments and Contingencies
	The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are generally not discounted. The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party or has received claims in twelve active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate ten other previously or currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that the Company’s liability could be joint and several, meaning that the Company could be required to pay an amount in excess of its proportionate share of the remediation costs.
	The Company’s understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at the multiparty sites and of other liable parties at the previously owned facilities has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the Company’s estimated liability. The Company established reserves, recorded in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes are adequate to cover its share of the potential costs of remediation at each of the multiparty sites and the previously and currently owned facilities. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Company may undertake in the future. However, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
	From time to time, the Company’s customers and others file voluntary petitions for reorganization under United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company from these parties could be considered preference items and subject to return. In addition, the Company may be party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the final resolution of these preference items and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

	(a)	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019 was 12.75% as a result of downgrades in the ratings of the notes by the rating agencies.
	(b)	Includes fair value adjustment to the 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019 related to the Company’s fair value hedges, miscellaneous debt obligations and capital leases.
	The fair values of the senior notes and debentures, which were determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt was greater than its book value by approximately $306.9 million and $343.4 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	Effective September 9, 2014, the aggregate revolving commitments of the Lenders under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) were increased from $1.15 billion to $1.5 billion and the expiration date of the Credit Agreement was extended from October 15, 2017 to September 9, 2019.
	The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s $1.5 billion Credit Agreement was 2.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	On April 1, 2014, cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to pay the $258.2 million 4.95% senior notes that matured on April 1, 2014.
	On March 20, 2014, the Company issued $400.0 million of 6.00% senior notes due April 1, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, and commenced on October 1, 2014. The net proceeds from the offering along with borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repurchase $211.1 million of the 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, $100.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018, and $50.0 million of the 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020. The repurchases resulted in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $77.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs, elimination of the $2.8 million fair value adjustment on the 8.25% senior notes and other expenses.
	On November 12, 2013, the Company issued $350.0 million of 6.50% senior notes due November 15, 2023. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, were used to finance the cash portion of the acquisition of Consolidated Graphics.
	On August 26, 2013, the Company issued $400.0 million of 7.00% senior notes due February 15, 2022. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase $200.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018, $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015 and $100.0 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017. The repurchases resulted in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $46.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses.
	On March 14, 2013, the Company issued $450.0 million of 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase $173.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $50.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018 and to reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The repurchases resulted in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $35.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses.
	Interest income was $1.9 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Interest income was $2.1 million and $8.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivatives	'
	15. Derivatives
	All derivatives are recorded as other current or noncurrent assets or other current or noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. Unrealized gains and losses related to derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, or in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are generally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge at inception, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At the inception of a hedge transaction, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the Company assesses both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is also recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates. The exposure to foreign currency movements is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of its various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary or operating unit, the Company is exposed to currency risk. Periodically, the Company uses foreign exchange spot and forward contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Accordingly, the implied gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables, receivables and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts in order to manage the currency exposure of certain assets and liabilities. The foreign exchange forward contracts were not designated as hedges, and accordingly, the fair value gains or losses from these foreign currency derivatives are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, generally offsetting the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed. The aggregate notional amount of the forward contracts at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $349.1 million and $372.1 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates.
	On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $400.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating-rate based on LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The interest rate swaps, with a notional amount of $400.0 million at inception, were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s $450.0 million 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, which were attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased $211.1 million of the 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, and related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $210.0 million were terminated, resulting in payments of $4.2 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps. As a result of the termination, the remaining notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2014 was $190.0 million. The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of $238.9 million of the Company’s 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019.
	On April 9, 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $600.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating-rate LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The interest rate swaps, with a notional amount of $600.0 million at inception, were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014, which were attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. During March 2012, the Company repurchased $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014, and related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $342.0 million were terminated, resulting in proceeds of $11.0 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps. In conjunction with the 4.95% senior notes maturity in April 2014, the remaining interest rate swap agreements matured.
	The fair values of interest rate swaps were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and were developed using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. The Company evaluates the credit value adjustments of the interest rate swap agreements, which take into account the possibility of counterparty and the Company’s own default, on at least a quarterly basis.
	The Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to settle positive and negative positions with the respective counterparties. The Company settles foreign exchange forward contracts on a net basis when possible. Foreign exchange forward contracts that can be settled on a net basis are presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest rate swaps are settled on a gross basis and presented gross in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	The Company manages credit risk for its derivative positions on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis, considering the net portfolio exposure with each counterparty, consistent with its risk management strategy for such transactions. The Company’s agreements with each of its counterparties contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if it either defaults or, in certain cases, is capable of being declared in default of any of its indebtedness greater than specified thresholds. These agreements also contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default subsequent to a merger or restructuring type event if the creditworthiness of the resulting entity is materially weaker.
	At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts, which were the only derivatives not designated as hedges, and fair value hedges, along with the accounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair value amounts were included, were as follows:

	16. Fair Value Measurement
	Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s assets and liabilities required to be adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are pension and other postretirement benefits plan assets, foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. See Note 15 for further discussion on the fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. See Note 14 for the fair value of the Company’s debt, which is recorded at book value.
	In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. See Note 2 for further discussion on the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions.
	The fair value as of the measurement date, net book value as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and related impairment charge for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to initial recognition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	The fair values of long-lived assets held for sale that were remeasured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were reduced by estimated costs to sell of $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  The fair values of long-lived assets held for sale that were remeasured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were reduced by estimated costs to sell of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
	The Company’s accounting and finance management determines the valuation policies and procedures for Level 3 fair value measurements and is responsible for the development and determination of unobservable inputs.
	The fair values of the long-lived assets held and used and long-lived assets held for sale or disposal were determined using Level 3 inputs and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions. Unobservable inputs obtained from third parties are adjusted as necessary for the condition and attributes of the specific asset.

Venezuela Currency Remeasurement	'
	17. Venezuela Currency Remeasurement
	Since January 1, 2010, the three-year cumulative inflation for Venezuela using the blended Consumer Price Index and National Consumer Price Index has exceeded 100%. As a result, Venezuela’s economy is considered highly inflationary and the financial statements of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries are remeasured as if the functional currency were the U.S. Dollar. Prior to March 31, 2014, the financial statements were remeasured based on the official rate determined by the government of Venezuela. On February 8, 2013, the government of Venezuela changed its primary fixed exchange rate from 4.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, devaluing the Bolivar by 32%. This devaluation resulted in a pre-tax loss of $3.2 million ($2.0 million after-tax), of which $1.0 million was recognized as a loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Venezuelan government expanded the operation of the Supplementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (“SICAD 1”) currency exchange mechanism for use with certain transactions. In addition, the Venezuelan government also began operating the SICAD 2 exchange which the government indicated is available to all entities for all transactions. The Venezuelan government has indicated that the official rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar will be reserved only for settlement of U.S. Dollar denominated purchases of “essential goods and services.” As of September 30, 2014, the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 exchange rates were 11.7 and 50.0 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, respectively. While there is considerable uncertainty as to the nature, amount and timing of transactions that will be settled through SICAD 1 and SICAD 2, beginning March 31, 2014, certain assets of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries were remeasured at the SICAD 2 rate as the Company believes those assets will ultimately be utilized to settle U.S. Dollar denominated liabilities using SICAD 2. Remaining net monetary assets were remeasured at the SICAD 1 rate, as the Company believes SICAD 1 will be applicable for future transactions, and dividend remittances, if any, from the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries.
	During the three months ended June 30, 2014, certain transactions pending approval at the official rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar were approved, resulting in foreign exchange gains. As a result of the remeasurement at the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 rates during the three months ended September 30, 2014, a net pre-tax gain of $0.6 million was recognized in net investment and other (income) expense, of which $0.4 million was recognized as income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a pre-tax loss, net of foreign exchange gains, of $18.0 million ($14.0 million after-tax) was recognized in net investment and other (income) expense, of which $6.0 million was included in loss attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of the remeasurement at the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 rates.
	Because the SICAD exchanges are auction-based and auctions are held periodically during each quarter, the exchange rates available through SICAD will fluctuate over time, which will cause additional remeasurements of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries’ local currency-denominated net monetary assets and further impact ongoing results. The operating results of the Venezuelan subsidiaries, one of which is the operating entity and a 50.1% owned joint venture, are not significant to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

	18. New Accounting Pronouncements
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to assess whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.  If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosures are required.  ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2016.  The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period is treated as a performance condition and, as a result, should not be included in the estimation of the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The standard may be applied either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively, to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue using a five-step process that supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The standard allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and determining which transition method will be used.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”), which modifies the requirements for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 may impact whether future disposals qualify as discontinued operations and therefore could impact the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01 “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects” (“ASU 2014-01”), which modifies the criteria an entity must meet in order to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method. ASU 2014-01 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that the entity intends to use and is available for settlement at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05 “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”), which requires the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest resulting in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04 “Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date” (“ASU 2013-04”), which requires the measurement of joint and several liability arrangements, when the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the entity has agreed to pay as well as any additional amounts expected to be paid on behalf of co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
