Joy was very recently heard to utter:
??? On that "choosing page" there are two boxes: Print to File and Manual Duplex. Should I put a check in either one of them? Or neither? Neither. ??? I only get that dialogue window if I do NOT put a check in the above mentioned boxes, right? Yes. that has the PDF settings (screen, print, ebook etc), ??? How do I know which of those setting to choose? Those are quality settings. If you want your document to appear at full quality when printed, choose print. If it's for use on screen, choose screen. If you're making an eBook, choose ebook. If you're going to press choose press. ??? On that window, I do NOT have a box with three dots. So I'm lost at that point. There should be a little push button to the right of the Save As path. ??? I only get a Save As dialogue if I DO put a check in the File to Print box at the beginning. And if I do that, I do NOT get the PrimoPDF settings window. If you choose to Print to File, you create a PostScript file, and PrimoPDF doesn't kick in at all. If you don't, then you get the PrimoPDF options window, *from which you can call up the Save As dialog* (using the ... button next to the save as text box). It won't appear automatically, and DavidF didn't suggest it would. (I did mention the "..." button in a previous post to which you haven't responded.) -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

What I DON'T know is why or when I'd need/use/want a particular one. Ed wrote: There should be a little push button to the right of the Save As path. JOY- The button is grayed out. That's what I've been trying to tell everyone, that at that point, I don't seem to have any choice other than the default.

Joy was very recently heard to utter:
JOY- I don't know what press means. (I can guess at the others). But I do realize that if I put a dot in one of those, that's what I'll get. What I DON'T know is why or when I'd need/use/want a particular one. Press is when you have your publication professionally printed by an outside printing service. The settings alter the quality of the PDF file - how much compression is used for images, etc. JOY- The button is grayed out. That's what I've been trying to tell everyone, that at that point, I don't seem to have any choice other than the default. I haven't heard you mention that it was greyyed out - you've stated that there was no button there. In my copy of Primo, it looks quite grey but actually functions. I take it you have tried clicking the button? JOY - I don't know what a PostScript file is. Is there some website where I can find definitions for these terms that I don't seem to understand? Using Google, type "define:" (no quotes) and then the word you want the definition of (or a phrase surrounded by quotes). Google will then do its thing. There are normally a few definitions to choose from, but I trust you can find the right one. A PostScript file is something you don't need at all. It is used sometimes when you want to go to a printing press, or by some high-end desktop printers, and is also used as an intermediary in the PDF-making process. JOY - I guess I didn't respond because I couldn't find that button as explained above (grayed out). There's a big difference between a button not being there and a button being greyed out. PrimoPDF not giving you the option to browse for your target file sounds like a problem with PrimoPDF to me. I'd advice contacting the manufacturers for assistance, or switching to one of the other free products if they can't help.

I'll start these replies with 2JOY

The settings alter the quality of the PDF file - how much compression is used for images, etc. JOY- The button is grayed out. That's what I've been trying to tell everyone, that at that point, I don't seem to have any choice other than the default. I haven't heard you mention that it was greyyed out - you've stated that there was no button there. 2JOY - when I said there was no button I was referring to when David said something about there being a button with 3 little dots on the left hand side. In my copy of Primo, it looks quite grey but actually functions. I take it you have tried clicking the button? 2JOY - I must confess (red face) that I had NOT tried. This is the first time I have EVER seen a grayed out anything that worked. But I just now tried it and it DOES work. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! JOY - I don't know what a PostScript file is. Is there some website where I can find definitions for these terms that I don't seem to understand? Using Google, type "define:" (no quotes) and then the word you want the definition of (or a phrase surrounded by quotes). Google will then do its thing. There are normally a few definitions to choose from, but I trust you can find the right one. 2JOY - Thanks for this excellent suggestion. I usually do a lot of "Googling" for things, hadn't thought of using it for this purpose. A PostScript file is something you don't need at all. It is used sometimes when you want to go to a printing press, or by some high-end desktop printers, and is also used as an intermediary in the PDF-making process. JOY - I guess I didn't respond because I couldn't find that button as explained above (grayed out). There's a big difference between a button not being there and a button being greyed out. 2JOY - David's button wasn't there; yours was grayed out. PrimoPDF not giving you the option to browse for your target file sounds like a problem with PrimoPDF to me. 2JOY - The only problem, as it turns out, was me not trying something that was grayed out. I'd advice contacting the manufacturers for assistance, or switching to one of the other free products if they can't help. (e.g. PDF995 from www.pdf995.com, PDF-Xchange from www.docu-track.com) 2JOY - This won't be necessary now, and I thank you once again for all your persistence and patience with me! And for solving my problem! - Joy -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |
