Printmaster 18.1 will not save as a PDF file

I bought 18.1 so I can save my projects in a PDF format so I can take it to a printer to be printed. It freezes up when I tried to save as a PDF or to save as "professional printing".

SOURCE: Printmaster 18 will not print on HP ColorLaserJet 5M.

Following the description of your problem, I noticed that you are mentionong both sides of the paper, so I am assuming that you are trying to use the 'Double-Sided Printing "
This can be the reason of the problem--> you can solve this issue by setting the program using the "Double-Sided Printing Wizard" in the File Menu

As a work around untill we can figure this issue out. http://www.acrosoftware.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp
This is a FREE PDF Print to file program.

At the top left of the page the are links to the PDF Creator and the Required GPL Ghostscript 8. The program will not function without it. Both programs work with x64 Vista. Read the website for the other benifits or the program.

How can I use saved printmaster projects listed as SIG file on Printmaster 2019?

It may be possible. First, create a new project on Printmaster 2019 and save it. There's no need to actually print it, just save it. Go to the folder where you saved the new project and look at the file type. Is it a SIG file? If so, you may import (or copy and paste) your older saved projects into the same folder as the new saved project. Then the older projects can be opened in Printmaster 2019.
If the new project file type is not SIG then note what type it is. Next, make a copy of the older saved projects folder. Open the copied folder. Left-click to highlight a project, then right-click on it and select "Rename". Keep the same project name, but change the file type from SIG to the new file type used in Printmaster 2019. Next, try opening that renamed project with Printmaster 2019. If the old renamed project is compatible with Printmaster 2019 it will open, ready to use. If it does not open ready to use then your only hope is to contact Printmaster tech support (probably by email) and ask if there's a fix to make older projects compatible.

Converting files in printmaster to pdf files and as it switches over to converting, it goes to a printing in broderbund box and screen freezes and shuts down the program

I'm not familiar with the conversion in Printmaster, but here is a simple solution:
You can use Cute pdf writer.
Go to www.cutepdf.com and download the free utility. The nice thing about this is it will work as a "printer" for anything on your computer you need to print--in pdf format.
In essence, it becomes a printer--you choose to print whatever it is you normally print and chose cutepdf as the printer and it prompts you for a file name and there you go!

I can not make a pdf file off of printmaster version 18. I Just got a new computer Microsoft Vista and have installed the printmaster software and it will not allow me to do a pdf file. It keeps saying...

By the way did you get microsoft office with your new PC, if so you can download a "word plugin" from microsoft which will allow you save to PDF, there are also several "freeware" converters that can be downloaded. most install as a "PDF printer" you just print the file to the PDF printer rather than your default, then they give you an option to "resave" as a PDF
