Lol, that doesn’t look so good for a couple of reasons. But the turning-a-document-into-a-pdf process should have its own verb by now, it’s such a common operation. Of course, there could already be one and I have missed it. Let me know?
When I first started blogging, I’d laboriously do the formatting off-line, then when I copied and pasted into the blog … flit! All the formatting was lost and I’d have to start again. So for me, turning something into a pdf is nearly always about preserving formatting, especially when I started posting up Bosley’s Builders.
The hold-up had two prongs. One, I needed a word processor other than MS Word for the operation. MS Word have lost my custom. Not at all important in their scheme of things, I’m sure. But say a million of us decide not to fork out either the monthly or the yearly cost? They’ll sit up and take notice then. When I saw that they don’t sell copies outright anymore, I was gone.
So, Scrivener is it. I’ve been using Scrivener for a good few years for preliminary drafts. Their latest version has the possibility to save documents into pdf mode. They haven’t put their prices up and they don’t profiteer by forcing people into a perpetual loan situation.
The second prong of the hold-up has been me coming to grips with writing and formatting Bosley’s mob into Scrivener in the first place.
