Hi there Robin W.,
and anyone else interested in converting PageMaker 7 PMD files to PDFs.

You seemed to say ("if" instead of "I"?) that you have an app to convert PMDs to PDF. I really hope that was what you meant Robin, and if so, you'll let me know what it is and where to get it.

Hi,

sorry, I somehow managed to miss an entire word there.
I actually wanted to say "if you have have an application which is able to print PMD files, they can be converted to PDF".
PDFCreator works as virtual printer, so the most straight-forward way of converting a PageMaker file to PDF is to open it in PageMaker and print it to the virtual PDFCreator printer. All other methods (drag&drop, right clicking onto the PDF and selecting "Convert with PDFCreator") will search the registry for the command to print the PMD files and fail if it wasn't registered properly or in a unexpected way by the PageMaker application.

Best regards

Robin
