Converting to PDF

Jan 25, 2011 23:28:04 I see there are several issues with printing, but I'm specifically trying to convert the character sheet to pdf using PDF Creator or Cute PDF so I can take it to work (and print for free!).

First off, after hitting the "Print" button, it takes a good one to two minutes for the print options to come up. When they finally come up, if I choose Cute PDF or PDF Creator for my printing options, the "Print" button is completely grayed out and I can't do it. I was able to convert one character sheet to PDF... and I don't know what the heck I did differently to do so, but now it doesn't work at all.

Any suggestions? I got a game this Sunday and I have no way to print my character!

Make sure CutePDF is set as the default printer. Also set the CutePDF settings to 144 DPI

Jan 26, 2011 15:59:48 The size of the spooled file is probably the issue. I know it can lock me up if I'm not careful. The above suggestions should help.

I don't know what this means....

I changed the settings to 144DPI and it still isn't letting me choose the Cute PDF as a printing option.

I attempted to use the Cute PDF on other documents and it works fine... I sent a customer service question too.

Jan 27, 2011 20:06:31 Still not working... this is really frustrating. Any other ideas? No response from Customer Service yet.

Did you install the other program that CutePDF requires you to install as well?

Thanks, Mithreinmaethor. I'll look into that tonight when I get home from work. But considering that CutePDF works on anything else I want to convert to a pdf file (such as a Word file), I probably have that other program, right? Or maybe using it on the CB requires something extra?
