Can't save as a PDF - 9/25/2015 9:01:40 PM    eaglegardener   Posts: 2 Joined: 9/25/2015 Status: offline I installed Printmaster 18 on my laptop with Windows 10. When I try to save my project as a PDF file a pop-up window comes up "printer not activated error code 20" and when I close the window a pop-up is under it that says "PMW cant start print job" then a box "error occurred while printing. I need to save my projects as a PDF so I can send them to my office to print. Can someone tell me how to fix this or what Printmaster I need so I can continue using it? I love Printmaster and have been using it for years and I am not ready to change. Thanks for your help. Post #: 1

(Actually, I am surprised PM18 works on Win10 at all!) There's a good and free PDF writer at http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp After installing, you need only print your project, selecting the cutePDF printer, to create your PDF.
