thanks for the suggestions. Having messed around installing both PDFCreator and FreePDF XP, I realised that PrimoPDF was in fact available, it was just that dialog with the list of printers was 2 columns and 3 rows, but with only 1 column displayed. Apologies.
Still, I can make the following conclusion which may be useful :) 1. FreePDF XP has the fewest settings, and is too basic for me, and the installation is more complicated 2. PrimoPDF has a nice user interface and a sensible number of settings 3. PDFCreator has lots of settings, which makes it a bit harder to use Nick. --- In [email protected], "P.B.J. van Elswijk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have no such trouble in KiCad with PDFCreator (also free). > > Regards, > P. van Elswijk > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Nick Oatley > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 10:22 > Subject: [kicad-users] pdf of schematic & board > > > is it possible to get pdfs of the schematic and the board (each layer > separate of course)?
