PDF Question

Post by baton999 »

Hey, all - I've just purchased a great new iMac. However, I've got an iBook with lots of Composer Mosaic arrangements. I want to turn them into PDF files. Even though I thought I had the software to accomplish this, it never seems to work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a special process I haven't been following? And since I have to "remain" in OS 9.2, should I invest in the Adobe software to turn these files into PDF? Or, should I purchase, for about $400, that neat little scanner that just changes hard copy documents into PDF files? Or...? Thanks in advance for any suggestions -

Try "printing" one , but when you get to the select printer option see if you have the option to write or save it to disk (I think it's a .ps file) , PM me and I'll give you my email address so you can mail the .ps file to me to run thru Distiller.

There is this option too for $20 US http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html

Thanks, Dwetster. :D

I've used all the cutest ones already though.
Might have to get freaky in the future.

Whenever I see 101's kitty, I like to read the "location" phrase below it, and pretend kitty's saying it.
Works for me. :D
