In the past, I have used Print Music on this (my current) computer and saved files as pdfs. I entered a new song into Print Music and want to save it as a pdf so I can send it to my publisher.

The manual says to go to Print and use the printer name drop down to select pdf instead of my printer. That option is not there, however.

The manual also says there are other ways to save the file as a pdf, but it does not explain.

Can anyone help? I really need a pdf to transmit electronically.

THANKS!

Go to your Windows settings and see what printers are installed. If there's no print-to-PDF print, you'll have to download and add one. There are several free ones, including one from Microsoft. I use CutePDF.
