cannot convert to pdf

Yes, but when printing to PDF the PDF application normally prompts for a
location to save the resulting PDF, which is I think what lindalou was
asking about.

Also, I converted to pdf via another route in Publisher (Publsih as pdf or
xps), but two of my pictures have some strange overlay (that isn't in the
original file--I checked) and my logo (a simple line-art jpeg file) looks
really shaky--it looks great in the pub file, and so do the pictures.

Line-art and JPEG are a disgusting mix. Line art should be in a vector
format; failing that, PNG or TIFF. JPEG is for photographic images, on
line art it will bloat filesizes and smudge edges. Publisher's PDF
driver may be recompressing the images, too, which will not help.

Okay, if you have the PDF/XPS plug-in listed under the file menu then
this is what you would do:

File Menu - Publish as PDF or XPS
name the file, choose where to save
Make sure that the file type is "PDF"
Just below that is says "Optimize for:" and by default it says "High
quality printing". If you want to change that to "commercial press" or
some other setting hit the "change button and pick from the list.
Save the document.

Insert blank CD-R into drive and do what ever it is that you do to burn
a disc.

Forget Primo PDF for the moment. Just save it as a PDF using the office
plug-in. If it doesn't show up under the File Menu then you don't have
it. Primo is fine to print to, but lets just stick with one environment
for now.

I am trying to save my pub 2007 file as a pdf. I can't. If I try to write to
a CD-R, it tells me "the disc in the drive is not writeable or is full."
Neither is the case, and I have tried a couple of discs. If I try to save the
file to either my F:\ drive (also a CD-R drive) OR if I try to save it to my
computer, it tells me that the drive/folder is inaccessible or the filename
might have a | \ / in it, etc. Can anyone help? Thank you.

If the created pdf is coming up in Acrobat Reader, you can't save from File,
Save.

He may not know he needs to click on the Save icon, looks like a blue 3.5"
floppy on the tool bar.

Every time I've used PDF software, it gives me a Save As dialog once
I've hit Print. It then opens the saved file in Adobe Reader once it's
finished. No need to hit Save then...
