One of the "print to picture" drivers. The one I currently use is the free Polestar VirtualPrinter. http://www.polestarsoft.com/virtual_printer/ # Create PDF files from any program that is able to print PDF & Image Printer Driver installs as a standard printer can be easily used for PDF creation from any Windows program printable with high quality. # Export documents to raster image files: PNG, JPG, TIFF, GIF, BMP. # Export documents to vector image files: EMF. # Create Multipage TIFF Create single TIFF image file from a multipage document or from several documents. # Custom Folder Option This gives you the option to save created PDF or image files to a specified directory. # Automatic Output is to generate PDFs and images with unique name and specific path. These information will be kept in Windows Registry Hive. # Resolution or dpi (dot per inch) level options in horizontal and vertical directions for both PDFs and images.
