PAD Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 You need Adobe Acrobat with Distiller or PDF Writer. We have not tested the newer versions (6.5 and 7) with VW 10. Quote Link to comment
oldguy Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 One posibility is to instal a Postscript printer such as found at adobe: Adobe Postscript Printers http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1500 Or try this alternative: http://www.sketchpad.net/postscript-printer-winxp-1.htm This creates a postscript file. This can inturn be distilled into a PDF document using such tools as Ghostscript, see: http://www.noliturbare.com/ click on the GhostScript GUI link 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 ) JimL Quote Link to comment
Scribbler Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 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 it's free of charge. Much less overhead than the other Programm and faster too. Had great success in using it. Hope it helps to solve your problem. Quote Link to comment
alanmac Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 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. Alan Quote Link to comment
