[RESOLVED] QuarkXpress/Postscript printer... help needed !!!?

[maladymich]

i need help to convert a QuarkXPress file into .pdf format.

When i use the: FILE > EXPORT > FILE AS PDF i get the following message box:
'To save a layout as a PDF file a postscript printer must be set up to print a file'

Can anyone help with this? I have heard something about 'virtual postscript printers' would this work and how do i do it?

All help would be gratefully recieved!

(alternatively does anyone have the ability to do this that i could mail the files to?)

I am using QuarkXpress 6.0 Passport version on Windows XP OS

You need to install the driver for a PostScript printer. Since you will print to file, you don't actually need to have the printer.

Thanks for your help - i downladed a pdf conversion program called primoPDF which can convert any windows produced file into a pdf and that seems to be working well for me at the moment
