Steve, Nana, Bill, Everyone!
No one needs Distiller any longer, to print to PDF immediately, just  
as long as you are using either Mac OS X or Windows XP! Both  
operating systems have a way to print any document as a PDF file,  
built into the operating systems' print drivers...just as long as the  
document itself can be printed.

So Acrobat Distiller is only used by people on other operating  
systems. I print PDF documents of emails all the time, directly on  
Mac OS X...and I never use Distiller...I also print to PDF when I  
have a screen capture of an email written in SignWriting...So Nana,  
you could create a screen capture of the translation and then print  
to PDF if you are on XP.

Meanwhile, Steve is developing a way to print from SignPuddle...right  
now in SignPuddle 1.0 we do not have a way to print documents  
directly from SignPuddle, so that is why print-to-pdf development on  
SignPuddle for the future will be great!

But until that is ready, if you are using Windows XP or Mac OS X,  
there is no excuse not to make many PDFS!

Please see screen capture of the print driver for Mac OS X...there is  
a button to create a PDF... and I know you have the equivalent on  
Windows XP...
