[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 6136019, member: 29558"] Most software packages will actually let you print a file as a PDF. I know that Word and Excel will allow this, and I assume OpenOffice will as well. Once you've got your map the way you want it, just choose Print from the menu (not the quick print button), and change the Printer selection to "Print as PDF" or whatever is similar in the program you're using. I like fancy maps, but don't do them as PDFs. I typically save the maps from the adventure PDF as a .jpg file (Acrobat Reader, which is free, will usually allow this depending on the level of DRM protection on the file), then use a drawing/photo-editing program to edit it. You can find decent graphics editors free. Excel/OpenOffice also work, and I've got nothing against them at all! The maps that Scotley and Leif make serve their purpose very well - I just like to play around a little more. MikeL uses a hybrid of the two - he takes the .jpg from the adventure PDF then puts it into an Excel file for his grid. This also works pretty well. [/QUOTE]
