[CGUYS] Save to PDF?, was Re: [CGUYS] Scanned

2009-01-29 Thread One Man
Do you mean Save as PDF ?  When I last used this feature on a Pages version 
3.0.2 wp document, it saved the PDF in a hug font, larger than the original 
Pages wp document.  I thought pdfs were to preserve the look of the original.  
What did I do wrong?

 OS X's print to PDF feature is great, by
 the way.  I use it regularly
 when sending documents that the recipient doesn't need
 to edit
 because that way I don't have to worry whether or not
 they can
 read it.  Leopard gained the ability for PDF's to have
 working
 hyperlinks, at least for PDF's produced from Apple
 applications.
 I know it's not as good as Acrobat, but it's good
 enough for me,
 and it's free with the OS.

Yes, I meant the Save as PDF… option on the Print dialog box.
Calling it Print to PDF is fairly common, I think, unless my
memory betrays me.

As to the problem you had, the save as PDF option has always
worked properly for me, but for some reason Preview will sometimes
open up PDFs with a high magnification setting if the autoscale
preference is selected.  Could this be what happened to you?
If so, the fix is to choose the preferences setting to open PDFs
at 100% scaling.
