Thanks to Mark, I got PDFCREATOR downloaded (being insecure about
safe sites and all I enlisted his help)
We tested it on one or two pages before he went back to beantown...
but we tested it on 8 1/2 x 11 docs - not
on the book I actually wanted to get into PDF form. sooo... when I
"printed" to the PDFcreator from my word 97 document that was in the
correct format and then
looked at it in Adobe Reader (most recent version 8. whatever) and
looked at it - alas, it came up in 8 1/2 x 11
Now I did this with my poetry book and my engagement calendar which
had each been successfully saved
as PDFs and published on lulu in the correct size... back to drawing
board ---
after much searching in the PDFCREATOR help thing... I found a
setting for page sizes and resolution,etc...
aha thought I, I got this solved.... but, alas ... it still went back
to showing me the ms in 8 1/2 x 11 -
mind you. THEN - I took a photo file and saved it as PDF from
ELements and got the correct size after conversion...
I'm in Windoze XP - Any help much appreciated
oh, btw, I also had "cute PDF" on my computer and tried it with that
and the same thing happened...
I'm stumped
Pffft. I'm trying to create a pdf of an environmental manual in
Polish from an Adobe Pagemaker (notice a link there?) file. The trial
version of the software I have worked pefectly, albeit with a
strapline. The paid-for version (having worked on my previous
machine) now insists on producing gobbledegook from the specifically
Polish characters. _If only_ I had a paper size issue.....
The only answer I can find is to bang our heads against the wall until
the desire to have any association at all with Adobe goes away.
Adobe, the Microsoft of imaging software.
