Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

There is a freeware solution which I have used and it works fine in creating PDFs from P3 (or any Windows application).
It is called Cute PDF Writer, available free from:
http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/Writer.asp.

Here are some instructions which I hope help:
Close P3. Next Install the Cute PDF Writer software.
Next set the Cute PDF Writer as the default printer in Windows (Settings/Printers). Next open P3. Next open your P3 project. Next print your required layout and it will print to PDF format.

You need a pdf writer. This then appears in your list of printers.

The most popular is Acrobat which you have to pay for, alternatively there are a number of freeware/shareware solutions available.

RE: P3 convert to PDF file

Aleli Florencia Marquez,

I’ve had similar problems when printing to PDF.
You need to make PDF the default printer first and then print in the normal way.

Another P3 Idiosyncrasy.
