Important information

Starting with MacOS Ventura it is no longer possible to open the PostScript file (.ps) created as a preliminary stage of the PDF needed for printing in the preview app and save it as a PDF. We recommend using the free script «PostScript to PDF» for this.

To create A3 PDFs with this program, add «_A3» to the name of the program. For A4, add «_A4» accordingly. Then open the programme and select the PS, the PDF is automatically created in the correct format.
