enkidu Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 While I enjoy reading through the forum, may I suggest that a search function be added to look up a topic quickly? I would like to know the quickest and easiest way to save my file created on PDN in a pdf format. Can't see this option available on "Save As".

midora Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The search function is top right on the page. But the forum one is - let's say - not optimal. The results from www.getpaint.net/search.html are much better. The first result for 'pdf' links you to the right plugin (if you like to use a paint.net' solution).

Djisves Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 For forum specific searches, use Paint.NET search. To be able to save an image as PDF, you'll need Martin Osieka's 'Portable Document Format' FileType Plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkidu Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks midora and Djisves. Paint.net search resulted in a plethora of topics but specifically pdn to pdf was not except for one recommendation to use "dopdf". I looked this up but am leery of the nova upgrade for a fee. Martin Osieka's Plugin looks awesome but formidable. In my search it was mentioned that Ghostwriter is a third party interpreter that I need to install. Isn't there something simpler? I'm just a simple writer trying to get my book cover converted to pdf so I can take it to a printer.specifically Create Space—enkidu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midora Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 You do not have to install Ghostscript to use the ImPDF plugin. Ghostscript is just needed if you like to load pdf, ps, or ai files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkidu Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 OK midora. But what about all those spec boxes I have to fill in? Transfer files to different subdirectories and such. Do you find this easy to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midora Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Why not just save using the defaults first and if that's not what you want then play a bit with the options? But if you have questions about a specific plugin then you should ask in the plugin thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkidu Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 OK midora I'll try that. By the way, like your rolling sea—mesmerizing.—enkidu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkidu Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Just as an update midora: I clicked on the the Plugin, then on check for latest version. Ended up on a ComSquare site forum that had info from 2012. No updates, interaction, i. e.posts allowed. Example gif file of Swiss flag blowing in the breeze with 8 previous posts, not since 2012. Searched up ComSquare in Switzerland, clicked on info@ComSquare.ch and got kicked off the net. This was on a German language site listing using Yahoo. English not available. Beware of other ComSquare sites in U.A.E and India to name a few. This is not my idea of sourcing a pdf converter! Anyone else have any suggestions? Maybe I should just pony up and spend some $ on a bona fide prog that is supported. Thanks for the help.—enkidu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 On the Commsquare page click the middle link entitled ImPDF.FileType Download Link.

Ended up on a ComSquare site forum that had info from 2012. No updates, interaction, i. e.posts allowed. Support is done on the paint.net forum. The active ComSquare forum is closed because of the amount of spam. It's much to expensive in time and money to keep a forum active just to support some free software. But you get the software there. It's easy. If you do not like or trust the advice of people then you should not use it. People on a forum build a kind of trusted chain. This may be more safe than just download something from a flashy page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
