| 548512 | 2007-05-09 09:12:00 | Can you print your docs to PDF format? Er....:o ! I know I can do photos in PDF, but do JPEG mostly. PJ says 'Probably...but how?' |

| 548513 | 2007-05-09 09:16:00 | If you can find a "save as" or "export to PDF" option from your file menu or something similar?. I am not sure if MS Publisher recognises the PDF format. If it does then you should print/export each finshed page to the Desktop as a PDF. Then print the PDF. That way what you see on the PDF on the desktop will be what you see coming out of the printer. |

| 548515 | 2007-05-09 09:29:00 | I forgot this bit To save a publication as a PDF file in Publisher, you need to use a third-party PDF printer driver that lets you save a PDF file directly from Publisher or a third-party program that converts PostScript files to PDF. Publisher does not include a program like this; you must purchase it separately. To save your publication as a PDF file, do one of the following: sorry.:( |

| 548516 | 2007-05-09 10:56:00 | Thanks for all that! I will attempt to digest it all tomorrow and try again. :D I can see me making the cards by hand at this rate. Friend called in this evening, hoping to see several cards as samples. Not to panic! Time for PJ and I to have our Milo, after slogging over our computers all evening. 'It's life, Jim, but not as we know it.' |

| 548517 | 2007-05-09 11:09:00 | No problem. There was a previous forum thread where a free alternative to PDFs was mentioned. You might also want to check that out and put some Valium in your milo while your at it.:p | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 548518 | 2007-05-09 11:38:00 | May I ask what printer you are trying to use and also the default paper size? Are you trying to print 6 x 4 inch card I guess and you fold once. If you fold piece of paper just once this will give you four pages. To prove this pull the centre sheet from a newspaper. Possibly start Publisher with a blank page. You will need to make picture frames and text frames. I am not certain what you want to print where. |

| 548519 | 2007-05-09 11:56:00 | Start with the "tent card" template and add 2 pages. 1&2 form front and back when sheet is printed and folded once. 3&4 are inside. Experiment to see which way up print should be laid out depending on whether the card stands spine at side or top. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 548520 | 2007-05-09 20:27:00 | Yes, Sweep and Paul....6 x 4, started with blank page. Got it all set, with photo on page 1 (front of card) and friends business details on page 4 (back) Page ..blank. Page 3...thank you message. It all looked good on the screen, but didn't print out correctly. I feel sure it's 'operator error' as I am have only printed out the 4-fold cards before, which are easy. 'winmacguy'...good thing I don't have any Valium in the house...even 2 paracetamol can knock me further from the plot! A quick trip around the garden this morning, wrenching off a few dead heads and kicking a few stones should do the overwraught brain a bit of good.;) |

| 548521 | 2007-05-09 20:52:00 | I have PUB 2000 so don't know if 2003 has same templates but when doing tent cards pages 1&2 are printed on one side of the paper sheet so that when you fold in the middle they become 1 front and 2 back. Then you feed the sheet through the printer again for 3&4 to be printed. 3 is on back of 1, 4 in front of 2. Depending on the size card required I usually start with A4 and have to do some trimming. I have some prefolded 5x7 cards ie 7x10 sheet but the printer can't print to the edge on that size sheet. |
