Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if there was a way to get a proper copy of my designs in design edge to show or email my customers.
While in design edge, I can select my desired item> hit 'F6' so my item goes full screen, then hit 'Ctrl W' and it takes me to a black and white version of my image/item. To me, from there I should be able to save it as a JEPG or PDF etc. The only option I seem to get it to print it.
I would love to be able to easily save the image and forward it to a customer as a proof or save it for a catalog picture.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you in advance.

Here is an example of how I do it.
Use "Ctrl W" to view print preview. Print as pdf View pdf (I use Firefox, but Adobe Reader works as well) I use PDF995 to print to pdf format. This is a free download here.
http://www.pdf995.com/
My computer also offers the option to print to Microsoft pdf printer. This one does a "closed path fill". My go-to method is usually to do a screen shot. Print Screen, past into Paint.net, crop if required and save as PFD.
Crop/resize Here is the pcm file I started with.
Here are the pdf files.

Impose your business logo over the proof so somebody don't run with your design and hard work..

Not a bad idea! And something I wouldn't have considered doing. I guess I am too trusting. But as we all (at least most of us) know, it is easy enough to edit out a business logo or watermark.SegoMan DeSigns wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 12:29 pm Impose your business logo over the proof so somebody don't run with your design and hard work..
