[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 3385039, member: 7394"] Just one more thing to add to the discussion regarding printing to PDF. I have no experience with layout programs, but I have done some layouts in MSWord, and then printed to PDF using the full version of Adobe Acrobat, which costs somewhere in the neighborhood of a couple hundred bucks. I have played with Open Office, but I haven't tried using it to create a PDF file. There's a much lower cost PDF writer and viewer that I wholeheartedly recommend called Foxit. The Foxit PDF viewer is free, like Adobe's, but its alot smaller of a program. This means that it loads a lot faster and it doesn't tie up system resources nearly as bad as Adobe PDF viewer does. In terms of quality, its virtually identical. The Foxit PDF writer has been reviewed as being just as good as Acrobat, and fully compatible, but with a price tag of $35. Downloads and such are here: [url]http://www.foxitsoftware.com/[/url] Also, if you're looking for an easy and inexpensive way to get a printout of your book to proof, try printing through [url]www.printfu.com[/url] I've used it to print out numerous PDFs. What you do is upload the PDF file to them and they print it out, spiral bind it for you, and then ship it. It will cost a lot less than running it down to a copy center and having the same thing done there, and the books they ship come out looking pretty nice. Hopefully that helps somewhat. [/QUOTE]
