Unfortunately Printmaster 18.1 is not sold in England but beore I order it from the USA how different is it from the Printmaster 18, which is available here, and is it compatible with Windows 7?

18.1 is the same as 18, but tweaked to have better compatibility with Win7.

The most important point in the post which ellengard referenced is the point which says, "For PrintMaster 18 on any 64-bit Operating System, it is not possible to use the 'Save as PDF' option - because the Broderbund PDF Creator which is installed with PrintMaster 18 is not compatible with 64-bit Operating Systems. For PrintMaster 18.1 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, it is *sometimes* possible to tweak the Broderbund PDF Creator so that the 'Save as PDF' option will work as designed. HOWEVER, it is very important to keep in mind that, if an older Broderbund/Encore program which also installs the Broderbund PDF driver is installed AFTER PM 18.1 is installed, the older PDF driver will overwrite the PM 18.1 PDF driver. And, when that happens, the PDF driver will no longer work in PM 18.1. So, as is stated above, the recommended option for creating PDF files with PrintMaster 18 and 18.1 on 64-bit Operating Systems is to click on the link below

then follow the directions in that pinned item for 1) installing an alternate PDF driver then 2) using the Print to PDF option INSTEAD OF the 'Save as PDF' option.
