PRINT, BUT NOT PDF?

[Michael Steinwede-2]

Hi,

In a word document (Pages, Doc, etc) I can have the option of printing  
or creating a PDF (among several other options).

The same options appear when I'm in 4D and I can print OK, but the PDF  
file is never produced when the PDF option is chosen.

Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to produce a PDF  
within 4D?

Michael

The Preview button has worked fine in 4D fro as long as I can remember  
OS X being arround. Avoiding 4D's rather flaky inbuilt preview is one  
of the benefits of running on OS X vs Windows (speed wasn't, but  
that's another story)

Cheers,
Craig

Hi Craig,

Thanks for responding.

I don't think I made myself clear enough.

I can produce the pdf on the screen (that is, I can review what is  
about to be printed), but I want to save it as a file on the desktop  
and print it at a later date.

I use the Print Settings command which brings up the page setup window  
followed by the options window with the PDF button.

This button has several options including SAVE AS PDF ...  SAVE AS  
POSTSCRIPT ...   FAX PDF ...

Choosing the first option (SAVE AS PDF ... ) doesn't produce a saved  
file, at least not on my version (using 2004.8 on an iMac intel duo).

Warm regards,

Michael

Hi Craig,

I take it all back.

I've just tried it again and it's working.

Not sure what I did that was different, but it's OK now.

Again, thanks for responding.

Warm regards,

Michael
