I have not tried doing this, but could one not just open the RTF in Word and
save it as a Word document?

Dear List users,
Several people have touched on the value of Lulu (www.lulu.com) as a
great means of producing a fine bound printed output of one's work -
at a very economical price (full disclaimer!)
However, the problem has been that Lulu requires either a word
document, RTF or a pdf. Again, we've had discussions as to how to get
pictures to come out correctly in Word (I wrote a macro to help).
The Legacy report pdf is a beautiful output, but invalid to Lulu as it
does not embed the fonts used, and so it gets rejected.
I have discovered however that if you print a Legacy pdf to the Adobe
pdf printer (i.e. you are printing a pdf to pdf), given the right
settings, all is solved.
So I thought I would share with you the necessary settings in the
Adobe Acrobat printer. I am using version 8.
On the Adobe PDF Printing preferences, there are 3 tabs
1. 'Adobe PDF Settings'
Select your paper size. Obviously this should correspond with
the Legacy output.
Edit default settings. Fonts
Always embed Arial-Bold MT, ArialMT, TimesNew RomanPSMT
& any fonts you happen to want to
use as your personal choice.
2. Layout. Click 'Advanced'.
Make sure paper size is correct.
TrueType font: Download as Softfont
3. Paper/Quality: B/W or color - color is more expensive to print, of
course, but you may want it for pictures.
I hope I haven't omitted anything!
Warm regards :-)
