2. Re: Problem creating PDF with PageMaker 7
kellir-nd Jan 27, 2012 8:41 AM (in response to dixiedee13)I feel your pain if you are NOT able to switch to ID for whatever reason at the present time, and just need an answer regarding PM
First, are you doing the File, Export to PDF? If you are, this might be the problem right there. Your PDF's are going to be best created by making a postscript file first. So, File, Print, Acrobat Distiller (or Adobe PDF, whichever your computer has as an option). You then save the Postscript file this way to whatever location you prefer, then go out to the file and open it in Acrobat Distiller to make a PDF (you can usually just doubleclick on the postscript and it will launch the file in Distiller for you).
If you are still having trouble this way also, which I've ran into occasionally, try restarting your computer. This always does it for me when PM will not make a PDF, not sure why!

However, it only applies to Win2K and WinXP - all bets off with Win7.
