Christy-- My apologies if someone has covered this exact point before, but I think your problems would be solved f you install and use the PrimoPDF program that Sr. Dorothy (and I) recommends. PrimoPDF also installs an icon on your desktop that you simply drag-and-drop any file you want converted to PDF to that drag-and-drop icon. I've used it several times, and it works flawlessly and like a charm! The program creates the PDF and opens it in Adobe Acrobat. The File menu gives you immediate access to the full range of commands (Save, Print, etc.), and there are two Save options: Save a Copy and Save as Text. Nothing could be simpler!

Hi everyone, I have two of these programs installed pdf creator and another one Dorothy recommended but when I change to that printer, it still will not let me save the file as pdf only will let me print it? Is there a way to actually save it? Or what am I doing wrong?
