I prepare several newsletters usng Publisher. Printers would prefer getting
PDF file rather than hard copy. Can you recommend reliable, economical
software to convert a Publisher doc to a PDF file?

I haven't used the program, but I've heard some good things from reliable
sources about PDF Creator - a free download from;

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

There are others available as well... You might try Googling or searching
VersionTracker for others if that doesn't work out.

PDF995 is completely free, however I am not sure it converts correctly to
CMYK if You need that. But try it, It's free.

some difficulties.........do you have any suggestions on how to print a
merged publisher document to a PDF by chance?

When I try to Print Merge to a PDF from Primo it will print the first 3
records to the pdf and then try to create a new pdf for each additional
record. so let's say I have a merge with 10 records - it will print the
first 3 out to 1 pdf (3 pages) and then create a separate pdf for each of the
7 records left. What I'm looking for it one pdf with all 10 records (aka 10
pages)

I don't know about Primo, but in Acrobat you can combine PDF files. In the Primo
program, file, look to see if there is a "multiple files" selection when you
click create PDF.

Another thought, in step 5 of the Mail and Catalog Merge wizard, create a new
publication. All the publication will print to the PDF printer.
