Just an update on this: Apparently Dennis has a Canon Pixma MP150 that he has using to scan documents (on another computer after printing out the PFS Write files). MP Navigator 2.0 has the ability to save as PDF. He has to wait until his teenage daughter is available to try out the instructions I gave him....

I just did a quick search on this and discovered a program = File Merlin that says it will convert PFS Write to PDF in batches http://file-convert.com/fmn.htm

I don't recollect if I ever mentioned my friend Dennis down in Florida, however, now the Florida Bar is requiring the use of email & pdf's and no paper. Well, at least in four months. Dennis is in a panic because all of his templates, letters & research (25 years worth) is in PFS Write (yes, you read that correctly, he hasn't moved on in 27 years). The only solution I can think of at this point is for him to print out his information, scan it to an image and paste it into a pdf. At which point, he needs a real easy, pdf creator. Remember this is a technologically challenged lawyer. The next step I can see if for him to use an OCR to put all his stuff, eventually, in something like Word.

So does anyone know of a kindergarten-variety PDF maker program and an OCR program, or maybe a program where he can scan directly to PDF?

Thanks...Steve
