Convert Draw files to PDF

I heard that someone had asked a question at the London show yesterday about batch conversion of draw files to PDFs. This can be done as described here using the programmes !MultiTask (available from !Store or from my web site) and the Postscript 3 printer drives available from Martin Wuerther. |

That link will work better as MultiTask rather than MultoTask Edit: That said, I believe Ghostscript as used by PrintPDF is happy to use the default, if rather antique, Postscript driver output. |

I go via SVG (using my !XP1Draw2SVG – http://clive.semmens.org.uk/RISCOS/index.php?XP1Dr2SVG ) and then use any of several apps on the Mac, which is all very well if you’ve got a Mac (or a PC etc.) handy. No idea whether this is a better or worse solution in any way than Chris’s !Multitask & the PS3 printer drivers. But it does produce PDFs that are good enough to satisfy my publisher, and more importantly, their printer. |

In case anyone actually tried to use !XP1Dr2SVG and found it didn’t work – sorry. File was corrupt on my website. Now fixed. Why didn’t you tell me? |
