GUEST,Mr Red at the local library (and struggling) Tech: Need help converting Pagemaker to PDF (7) RE: Tech: Need help converting Pagemaker to PDF 03 Jul 09

My experience with InDesign was that it is not properly compatible. eg Master pages didn't do what I had set up in Pagemaker and there was no workaround - I never bothered with it after that.

Surely if you install a PDF printer driver it will produce a PDF document. We used PDF999 and it was basic but foolproof on any app we had there (like AutoCad). Used as if it were a printer but it asks for a file name.

I use Acrobat5 and the Printer driver regularly from PM. But I can use Distiller. (in theory paid for apps).

I can't remember if I upgraded to PM7 (with an upgrade package) but PM7 does take PM6.5 files because I did that route all the way from PM4 to PM5 to PM6.5 (maybe even PM3)

Joe if you don't get any joy, PM me. I will investigate when I get home shortly. How big are the files?
