Creating PDF documents

==== How do I create a PDF document from AbiWord?

==

Windows

On Windows, the easiest way to create a PDF is to use a PDF printer driver. These programs create a virtual printer that can be selected while printing, allowing you to create PDFs from any program that has print functionality. Some of the more common printer drivers are:

• *PDFCreator*, a free (licensed under the GNU GPL) printer driver that allows you to create PDFs, postscript files, and images (e.g. PNG and TIFF, among others).
• *Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer* and *Adobe Acrobat Distiller*, two printer drivers that come with Adobe products and may already be installed on your computer.

Unix

There are quite a number of options for producing PDF output on Unix systems, some of which allow saving of hyperlink information:

• Choose *PDF* from the *Save As* dialog

Mac

Mac OS X offers native support for PDF creation.

• Choose *Save As* from the print dialog

==== Can I request built-in PDF exporting capabilities?

==

This feature has been requested before and can be tracked at Bug 1016. On a side note, preliminary PDF input support is available in the development version of AbiWord with the use of Poppler. See the mailing list announcement for more information regarding this feature.

==== Can I use the PDF plugin mentioned on the PluginMatrix page?

==

No, this plugin hasnt been maintained in many years and doesnt ship with newer versions of AbiWord.
