PDF On Classic os3.9
« on: February 01, 2008, 10:49:26 PM »
Ok, what are our pdf options on classics.  Is there a way to convert docs or make docs into .pdf.  I was trying to use convert2pdf (available on aminet) which supposed to convert your final writer docs into pdf, in conjunction with a program called ghostscript.  I haven't been successful though.  Has anyone been able to do it? I grt as far as pulling up the arexx request from finwriter and it asks where to put it and what name, but then nothing gets converted.  T (in ram) has a file on the gs action, but I can't understand what its malfunction is. must be something I'm missing or not doing with gs?
any ideas? :-?

I know of 2 ways to convert a file to pdf.

1. Ghostscript, by Whoosh. Search for his page to get the latest version.

2. Pagestream (pro?). This has some limitations that are known about and being worked on. But, you can export to Postscript & then convert to pdf using Ghostscript (above).
