Making PDF Files for Delivering Reports Electronically
Saving reports in PDF format lets you deliver them on diskette, CD, by email,
and by other electronic methods. PDF files can be viewed and printed without
LinkWare by opening them with the widely-used Adobe

downloaded from the Adobe website.
Note
LinkWare cannot open PDF files.
If you save multiple reports in a PDF file, LinkWare saves them in one PDF file
where each report is on a separate page.
