Convert Publisher files to PDF or PS for commercial printing? How?

[Gail Miller]

I was interested in an exchange I just read here about converting publisher
files to PDF or PS and then taking them to commercial printer.

Is there anywhere in the manuals (or help files) that would shed a little
more light on that? I do many brochures for various small clients and
usually just print them at home using paper direct paper -- probably the
MOST expensive, most labor-intensive way to go.

But I have never really understood the concept of "pack and go" -- just as
I've never really figured out how to use PS fonts on my cheapie HP home
printer.

Anybody who could direct me toward a couple tutorials? Thanks very much in
advance.

Download PrimoPDF from www.primoPDF.com.
Follow their directions.

It really is a simple process. Primo will have the directions for "how to".

PDF's are by far the easiest. In fact for quickie newsletters I take the PDF to Kinkos. Kinkos also has their own version of pdfs and you can download their kinko creator for free and just try it out.

JoAnn is correct...it's very simple...and since
I already have these instructions I thought I
would post them for you:

Try this...

Download and install the following free PDF Creator.

PrimoPDF
http://www.primopdf.com/

With your new program installed...open your project
in Publisher and go to...File / Print.

On your Print screen...open the drop window and
select PrimoPDF as your printer.

Click...OK...now you will see the PrimoPDF screen
and you can browse to a save folder.

When you click...OK..your .pdf file will be created
in your save folder.

The resulting .pdf file can be viewed on any computer
that has the free Adobe Reader installed.

Thanks SO much! I'm going to try that today -- and maybe the Kinko converter
Rob mentioned as well.

Is this a great newsgroup or what??
