Hello Deron,

Thank you for your message:

I only tried old documents before so I created a new document, a page
with a few lines of text and a PICT logo.

When I tried 'Save as PDF' I got the same result as before, an error
message 'PrGeneral failed at 2 with error 2'.

So I selected the PDF printer device in the chooser. It is 'PrintToPDF by
James W. Walker'.

On selecting 'Print' the progress bar moves along a little way and then
the system crashes.

I am also aware that 'Acrobat Distiller' can convert PGS PostScript to
PDF. I have printed quite a complicated document to 'PostScript File'
using PGS and then used 'Babinszki World - Net Distillery' to convert it
to PDF. This works fine.

That is about as much as I can tell you.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Many thanks,

Terence Casey
