Hi

I quite often want to turn BlackBox documents into PDFs.

The technique I use is to print the document (<Ctrl>-P), then use the
printer driver option to print to file. Provided I have chosen a
postscript
printer this produces a .ps file. I then use Ghostscript to convert the
.ps to
a .pdf.

This process is just a little inconvenient (particulary as I can never
control
or anticipate where the printer driver sends its output, and have to use
the Windows
'Search' utility to find it. Also these programs are not very user
friendly with file
extensions.

I was wondering if anyone had integrated a .pdf option into the BlackBox
"File->Save As"
menu option using the above, or another, method?

Regards

Robert
