Convert Project to PDF

[TKS_Mark]

We have used free pdf converters and even paid for Adobe Acrobat
Professional, but these won't convert Project 2007 into a pdf file. If we
ever get it to work by waiting for almost an hour, the file is 30 MB.

When will Microsoft Project 2007 support exporting to pdf. I keep hearing
this year, but I'm hoping it will be sooner than 12/31/2007.

Mark,

I haven't tried any pdf writers with 2007, but I know they worked fine with
earlier versions of project. Can you supply more details of what you have
done?

I think that Microsoft had some issues with PDF (can't remember if they were
legal or what) so they came up with an alternative called XPF. Google and
you may find more details about it. Personally I don't think there will ever
be a PDF writer integrated into Project, but there may be an XPF writer.

Jack,

Microsoft came out with pdf converters for Office 2007, including Word,
Excel, Powerpoint, etc. For some reason, they haven't provided one for
Project 2007 yet. I asked on this forum back in June and someone answered
that MS plans to release a converter this year. The reason I ask again is
that we need it now. Does anyone know a more specific date than 2007?

Mark.

I am running XP Professional, with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 installed before I
installed MS Project Professional Trial today.

The -Adobe PDF- menu as well as -Convert to Adobe- and -Convert to
Adobe and Send for Review- icons were present when I first ran
Project.

I had presumed that they were part of the installation, but after
reading your questions I think they were adopted because Acrobat 8 had
been installed previously for Office 2007.

There was a glitch, though, as I have -- for reasons as yet uncovered
-- been unable to save my newly created Project. The File + Save menu
items are greyed out. This causes problems because Convert to Adobe,
etc., want to save the Project file first, before converting.

But, Adobe came to the rescue with the Adobe PDF printer option ...
when I selected that it printed to a new Adobe PDF file without the
need to save first.

Now all I have to do is keep my system running or in Hibernate mode
until I learn why I cannot save. [Yes, the product has been
Activated].

Blessings!
Brian

Brian,

Are you running Adobe Professional or just the free version of 8.0?

Mark.

Sorry for not being clear … Adobe Acrobat *Professional *8.0

I found that you must turn off the 3D Bar option under Tools-Options-View to
print pdf's.
