Windows 7 SeaMonkey 2.49.5 doPDF 10.6.121 I have been using doPDF for five years now, since version 7.3.398. I do NOT select "Print to file" on the SeaMonkey print dialogue. Instead, I use doPDF's own navigation dialogue to select a location and a name for the output PDF file. A few caveats when using doPDF in Windows: * Whatever name doPDF gives the resulting file, I find I must change it slightly. Otherwise, doPDF reverts to placing the result in <C:\Users\[myid}\Documents\Bookmarks.pdf>, where [myid] is my Windows user ID. * When updating doPDF to a version with a different primary version number -- for example, from 9.6.245 to 10.0.103 -- it is necessary to remove the old version before installing the new version. It is also desirable to clean out preference variables (about:config) from Mozilla applications where those variables contain the old primary version number. * Installing doPDF causes unnecessary plugins to be installed in Microsoft Office applications. Not only can this not be prevented, but also attempts to remove those plugins afterwards will fail. The plugins can be removed from the Office applications, but they cannot be removed from your PC. They are unnecessary because printing from an Office application will bring up a print dialogue that includes doPDF. -- David E.
