This application is a virtual printer that will create PDF files in an instant.

The Drumlin PDF Writer is a fast and effective means of creating PDFs from any program.

After it is installed, it will appear as just another printer on your computer.

To use your Drumlin PDF Writer, open the file that you would like to print to PDF using the relevant Windows program (e.g. Word, Excel etc.). Select the program's Print option (usually found under File > Print), and select "Drumlin PDF Writer" from the list of available printers.

You will be prompted to select the destination directory and filename for your output file. The PDF file will be created with the name and directory details you provide. On completion the file should be displayed with your default PDF Reader (e.g. Acrobat Reader or Drumlin Reader/Publisher).

If the file is not automatically displayed you can run the preferences.exe program which you will find in your Drumlin PDF Writer installation directory to select this facility, and optionally to provide a default SAVE directory for the generated PDFs.

Generated files are PDF V1.4 (Adobe Acrobat V5) compatible, so can be viewed by most PDF readers that date from the year 2000 onwards.
