    Does anyone here use this program and does your print service accept files from PP?

    Hi Bette,

    We get requests like this all the time: 99% of printing companies only use professional industry applications. So accepting proprietary files from the vast array of packages out there isn't really an option.

    You shouldn't have an issue getting your job printed if you export your artwork as a high res pdf. (You do this from within pageplus).
    If you only have the free version then it won't allow you to export as a pdf.
    There is a workaround: download a free pdf creator utility such as www.cutepdf.com.
    Once installed: go to file/page setup/ select the appropriate page size & select 'cute pdf writer' as your "printer" in the drop down list.
    Go to file/print, it'll ask you to pick a name and location for the pdf file.
    That's it*

    *This will only generate a pdf file as good as your original artwork - you have to set it up properly in pageplus.... correct document size, high res cmyk images, bleed, crop marks etc.

    Talk to your local printer (whom you'll be using to print the job) - they may wish you to lay the job out in a particular manner.
