PDF's from VW10 on a PC


PAD

Recommended Posts

How do I make a PDF file from my PC - using V10. I am doing a report in Quark & don't have Illustrator - do I need to go & buy this?

We have tried a free download called Desk PDF but this is no better than exporting as an EPS into Photoshop & then into Quark (this actually works better).

We only have the free Acrobat Reader 5.1 & Adobe Reader 7.0 installed too.

Thanks!

One posibility is to instal a Postscript printer such as found at adobe:

Adobe Postscript Printers

Or try this alternative:

This creates a postscript file. This can inturn be distilled into a PDF document using such tools as Ghostscript, see:

Lots of work? - Yup, but free. Or, less work, but will cost you - as per Katie's suggestion

I personally use full-fledged Adobe Acobat (but the company was buying )

I use annother programm to create PDF Files and it is free, just don't know if it works in VW 10.

It's called CutePDF Writer. You find a download for this programm at http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

This link should bring you to the correct Page too.

Great thing [smile] it's free of charge. [Cool] Much less overhead than the other Programm and faster too. Had great success in using it. Hope it helps to solve your problem.

pdf995.com for another pdf creator. if you download the suite you can create multipage pdf's but from the sound of it you just want images for Quark.

It's free with a repeating sponser page on use but cheap enough to buy if you want to stop that happening.

Goes up to the bigger sizes, A0, which some others don't. I use it to get large construction drawings printed by a local printshop when I need bigger than my A3 HP.
