Use Acrobat to make PDF tables and graphs

You can use Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF document (portable document file) of selected Perception Analyzer® cross-tabulated tables and graphs. Install Acrobat on your PA computer, then use PA Report’s Print Setup dialog to select Acrobat as your printer. Best results may be achieved using the Acrobat Distiller print driver rather than the PDF-Writer driver. If you don’t have the Distiller feature, it may be necessary to adjust the font size of the question text; use Print Preview before printing to verify. Instead of actually printing to a printer, Acrobat creates a PDF file containing all the questions selected in the question list. If desired, use Acrobat’s page insertion feature to create a PDF file containing a combination of graphs and tables.

PDF files are convenient because they can be distributed electronically to your clients, and all tables and graphs contained within can be printed with one click from Acrobat Reader.

Acrobat is available from the Adobe on-line store. For information see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/main.html
