How do I convert a Project page to pdf?

[The Cliff]

I need to creat a shapshot of a MSProject schedule for colleague who do not
have MSProject. Thanks in advance to anyone that can assist!

Two methods. First, you can use the "Copy Picture" wizard which is the
camera icon on the toolbar. You can then paste the picture into another
document such as Word or Power Point.

The more common method is to install a PDF writer on your machine. There
are many out there, Adobe Acrobat is the most common. PDF writing software
installs iteself to appear as a printer to your computer. It is then a
matter of File/Print... which will work from any Windows application.

If you have Project 2007, then you will need to turn off bars and shapes in
gantt views in 3-D. Otherwise, a simple project will come out several
megabytes, if at all. I recommend www.cutepdf.com to download a free pdf
creator.

Great post Mark!!! I found one other posting relating to this however it
offered no resolution. The interaction with Acrobat Pro 8 and MS Project
2007 with the 3-D bars on is ridiculously slow and the PDF size is ginormous
(320K w\3-D VS. 27K without). Any idea if Microsoft and\or Adobe will
pony-up to a resolution? You don't have to answer that, I think we all know
it already. Thanks again.

Cheers,
John

This method requires Adobe writer.
1. Format the Gantt chart the way you want it to look.
1a. If you do not want the right hand timeline, move that off the screen
view. Do this by clicking and dragging the vertical line that separates the
timeline from your left hand columns.
1b. If you want page breaks in certain places, now is the time to set them.
1c. If you typically print in 11 x 17 format, change the page size to 8.5 x
11.
2. Print the MS Project file to Abode PDF.
2a. Check your *.pdf to make sure the columns you want are all on one page.
If not, go back to your MS Project file and adjust the column width as
necessary.
