How can I overcome the three page limit? Could I import PDFmaker from my Virtual Acorn on Windows, as this makes multipage PDFs?

I'm not sure what you're referring to in saying there's a "three page limit". Is that a Mac thing?

However, I suggest you try the following:

a. Convert the source file to PDF using 'PDFMaker' running within VirtualRPC.

b. Transfer the resulting PDF file to your Mac.

Is that what you want? If you hit problems, suggest you try the alternative:

c. Use Steve Fryatt's 'PrintPDF', also running within VirtualRPC. See http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/software/printpdf/

The results should be identical. HTH.

I use Martin Wuerthner's PoScript3 to save Techwriter files as PDFs. I'm not aware of a three-page limit with this, although most of my PDFs are less than three pages.

The "three page limit" emanates from Taborca, http://www.riscos.com/ftp_space/400/index.htm

Why three pages? I think Taborca was a demo, the full version which would have been paid for never happened.
