Funding Proposal Advancing

Spent the last week working on the proposal. After a first draft I emailed it to Rod Duncan, Frank, who cast his expert eye over it. As mentioned before Rod is not only an actor but an author and he also proofreads. He suggested some amendments and the document progressed from there.

After I was happy with the document it was time to export. What I wanted was the proposal in PDF format. Portable Document Format (PDF) is the standard for the secure and reliable distribution of files which is platform independent therefore a great choice for distributing to as many people as possible. However I found out that Publisher cannot save to PDF - you need to buy a plug-in. Ah the joys of computing. So i went on the hunt and found Cute PDF Writer - a freeware program. After installation open
the file that you would like to print to PDF in any program - Word, Publisher etc. Select the Print option and select "CutePDF Writer" from the list of available printers to print. Select the destination directory and filename for your output file. Job Done. Now why couldn't Microsoft have done this ?

While this was a few hours wasted its also given me the incentive to find any software that can do the same as publisher but with pdf export and which is free. Lets see what i can find.
