How can I create PDF’s from Easy Blue Print?
Some PRO users have asked about creating PDF's. We actually have a method of creating PDF's, which will be useful not just to PRO users, but to anybody who has a program that can print directly to a printer. If you do not have already Adobe PDF Converter (this is not the same program as Adobe Acrobat) installed on your computer you can get free PDF writer called Cute PDF. |
