Minor Problem
Greetings,
I have run into a minor snag with what I have been working on. The long and the short of it is this: I have written up everyting for "Revenge of the Crypt Fiend" in one format and want to convert it to another, namely PDF, so I can get the rules to anyone interesting in playtesting.
What's the problem?
Apparently what I chose to do the work in. Microsoft Works lil darling of a Word Processor. (Yeah, yeah. Yuk it up.) I can easily convert to most file types, save of course PDF, but I also lose all image formatting that isn't "inline" with the text when I do so.
So my question is two fold.
1) Is there any way around this?
2) Assuming there isn't and I have to go with a total re-edit, what quick and easy programs would you suggest for creating PDFs?
I really don't want to run out and spend major wampum for this, though I suppose eventually I will have to. So if you could suggest an immediate freebie type solution and a decent commercial program for the task it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kester Pelagius

Hi Kester,
There are a lot of threads in the Publishing forum about this, so skip around there from the very beginning of the forum's existence. If anyone wants to suggest specific threads, please do.
