This works in most cases but in other cases doPDF will only print 1 sheet per PDF file and give me the "Save PDF" pop up on each sheet. I can't find any rhyme or reason for it except that it mainly throws this on new sheets in the workbook even though they are identical & have same print setup as the other sheets. I have tried saving & reopening Excel after adding sheets but with the same results. Any ideas? acani on "Emailing" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/emailing#post-352 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:46:40 +0000 acani 352@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ how to send pdf's using email DocW on "Why Files Open in Acrobat, Not Reader" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/why-files-open-in-acrobat-not-reader#post-650 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:53:39 +0000 DocW 650@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ Greetings, I have both CS 3 and Reader 8 installed. When I use doPDF, the resulting file opens in Acrobat instead of Reader despite the fact that I have my system set to open .PDF files with Reader (Acrobat and the other components of CS3 take much longer to load). Can you please advise how I can get the files created by doPDF to open in Reader rather than Acrobat? kmdhws on "Links" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/links#post-568 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:58:47 +0000 kmdhws 568@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ How do I get <a href HTML Links to work in pdf?

The document I created was using white text on an entirely black background, however when I converted it to .pdf the background colour became white again, which means you can no longer read the text. How do I ensure that the background colour carries over into the .pdf document?

I need to keep my pdf documents under 2 MB. For instance, I created a word document that had pictures in it. When I was done, the document was .98 MB, I opened up the print option and chose doPDF v 6. It converted over to pdf, but shot the file size up to 2.15 MB. I compressed all of the pictures down before I even placed them in the document, so that isn't the problem. Help!

The resulting pdf file has a lot of white space on all sides of the text ad hence it appears to be much smaller than the original size as seen in the eBook. Does doPDF do a size reduction of the incoming data? Is there an option to turn this off?

There are a total of 9 worksheets in the workbook with 90 "printable" pages. When I attempt to print using DoPDF, instead of printing a pdf with 90 pages, it attempts to split up the workbook into 6 different pdfs. This does not seem to correspond with the amount of worksheets or pages being printed. I think that this has something to do with the headers in the workbook, since when I create a new workbook in excel and attempt to recreate the problem, I cannot and one pdf is made with the merged multiple worksheets. I don't know if this is a problem with DoPDF since I have alternative pdf printers and all do the same thing. Is there any hope to fix this issue?

To create PDF files, you just have to print your documents to the doPDF Printer, like you would print to a normal printer. Below are some examples on how to create PDF files from various programs (the principle is the same, File->Print and select doPDF as the printer). How to create PDF files from Microsoft Word: <ol> <li>Open the Word document that you want to convert to a PDF file.</li> <li>Go to File->Print and select doPDF from the Printers combo-box.</li> <li>Click on Ok and choose a location for your PDF file.</li> </ol> Here is a screenshot of the above mentioned process: <img src="http://www.dopdf.com/images/free-pdf-converter.jpg"> How to create PDF files from Microsoft WordPad: <ol> <li>Open the document that you want to convert to a PDF file.</li> <li>Go to File->Print and select doPDF from the Printers list.</li> <li>Click on Print and choose a location for the PDF.</li> </ol> How to create PDF files from NotePad: <ol> <li>Open the NotePad document that you want to convert to a PDF file.</li> <li>Go to File->Print and select doPDF from the Printers list.</li> <li>Click on Print and choose a location for the PDF.</li> </ol>
