Saving from SignPuddle?

[Stuart Thiessen]

If you install Ghostscript and Ghostview (both opensource and free), 
you can create PDF's simply by printing the Translate page to a 
Postscript printer which is set to "Print to File". Then open the 
Postscript file with Ghostview.  Ghostview gives you the option of 
exporting to PDF which then gives you a PDF file.  I found that to be 
very helpful on the PC platform. Now that I am on Mac, the print dialog 
box includes a Save as PDF function, so I don't use that process as 
much anymore.

If anyone would like me to write up more detailed descriptions of how 
to use this, let me know. I'd be happy to do that if it will be of 
assistance.

FYI,

Stuart
