The Win2PDF installation creates a printer in the printers folder named Win2PDF.
To create a PDF file:
| • | Open a document from a Windows application (MS-Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, etc.) |
| • | Print the document as you normally do but select the Win2PDF printer |
| • | You will be prompted to enter the name of the PDF file, as shown on this screen: |
The default file name is supplied by the sending application. You can choose a number of optional actions to take after the PDF file is created by selecting the check boxes. The options include:
| • | View PDF - Opens the PDF file in the default PDF viewer after the file is created. |
| • | Print PDF - Prints the PDF to the default printer after the file is created. This option is only available when Win2PDF is not the Windows system default printer. |
| • | Send to Palm - Synchronizes the PDF file with Acrobat Reader for PalmOS. This option may be hidden if the Palm desktop software is not installed on the PC. More information on this feature is available in "Sending PDF files to a PDA". |
| • | Send PDF - Opens a new email message using the default MAPI-compliant email client and attaches the PDF file to the message. The email program is specified in the Internet Options icon in the Windows control panel. If the Win2PDF Mail Helper application is installed, the Mail Helper application will be opened to send the email instead of the default MAPI client. |
| • | Delete after Sending - Deletes the PDF file after it has been sent using the "Send PDF" option. |
You can use the file save dialog to browse to a new location before saving the PDF file. Win2PDF remembers this location, and will use the same location the next time you create a PDF file.
