Convert mdi file to pdf?

L

Lakeside

Hello,
I've created a file that has the extension of mdi and I need a way to
convert this to pdf for printing. Is there a plugin or other application
that will allow me to do this?

The reason why I need to do this is because acrobat has a superior printing
options like being able to print odd pages and even pages thus allowing me to
print front and back of the paper where as my printers default printing
options it's not possible.

Thanks if you can help.

Open the .mdi in Microsoft Document Imaging program, print, select PDF as your
printer.

There isn't a PDF as a printer listed when I choose to print. It only lists
my Brother Printer as well as the MS Documment writer, but no PDF printer
listed in the list of printers.

The only thing I have would be Open Office and it's export ability, but I
don't believe that it opens .mdi files, but I'll double check it.

Without something like that, you can't make a .pdf. Google for .pdf creating
software programs.
