This is a GREAT little program that is sooooooo easy to use. If you want a pdf copy of anything, all you have to do is go to FILE>PRINT and where you see the name of your printer select the down arrow and "print to: PrimoPDF" (PERIOD) that's all there is to it. I use this program almost every time I use my computer.
