If you have a portable document format (PDF) writer (i.e. Adobe PDF, PDF Creator, CutePDF, etc.) installed on your computer and your printer preferences are configured for GDI, printed output can be saved to a PDF file. In general, recipient returns are saved to a single PDF file. However, if you are using the free IDMSPDF writer, recipient returns can be written to distinct PDF files (for file naming conventions, see the topic PDF Output Options).
To install the free IDMSPDF writer, follow the (case sensitive) link
