Hi Alexis, The best way of doing this is to purchase a copy of "Adobe Acrobat Writer". This will add an new option in your printer selection dialogue when you print a document, to producing a PDF file instead of printing to paper. I think that there are some shareware applications out there that will do this for you (Ghostscript ?) But I would recommend using the full Adobe product if you can persuade your people to buy it as it is much more reliable than any of the shareware products in my experience. Regards; Derek P.S. I think that Adobe Acrobat Writer comes free with Framemaker if you have that package. Derek J. Wynne Design Engineer. Toucan Technology Ltd. I.D.A. Business Park Dangan Galway City Ireland.

There is a need at my company to create .pdf files for drawings from both applications. Has anyone out there done this? What do I need to do/buy? Thanks. ************************************** Alexis Meehan Wavespan Corporation Engineering Services 500 N.
