Two questions in one

[Brito]

I am currently in the process of creating a newsletter which will be published in pdf format. Is there a way to view the document and its pages prior to converting or saving as pdf?


I have also produced several images for the newsletter using photoshop Yet I am unable to transfer them into the document. Only if they are .bmp files will they transfer, anything else is just blank
Thanks in advance

Q1. Apart from viewing the layout on screen, the only way to view the pages is to print them (there is no Print Preview in PM). But since the process of converting to PDF doesn't take very long, you could always do the conversion and print the PDF (no worries then about whether you have a postscript printer). If you are not happy, just fix the PM file and remake the PDF.

Q2. Graphics files from Photoshop should preferably be saved in TIF format (unless they are duotones, when they must be saved as EPS files). Then use File>Place to get the graphics into your PM document. Remember to link, NOT embed the graphics.
