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.

SOURCE: I have a error message when trying to open printmaster platinum 12
Use window search find the file and delete I did what was at support and it did not work I found this file in all users folder deleted it and all is well
SOURCE: I have Printmaster 7.0 but it is not compatible
The upgrade path is to Printmaster Platinum 18.1 or Printmaster Platinum 2.0. I'm not sure which is better for you but both are $39.99 from http://www.printmaster.com/ .
The installers for Windows have changed over the years. Your alternatives would be to use a dual boot or virtual computer with XP installed. Win7 Pro and Ultimate allow you to run XP mode free after downloading two programs from Microsoft. All the other options require a licensed (paid) version of XP.
The compatibility mode is available but I'm not sure it will work in this case. You would need to right click on the installer and choose Properties. Then go to the Compatibility tab and chose an older version of Windows (Win98 may be a better choice than XP). Then right click on the installer again and chose Run as Administrator. Then you will need to do the same thing with the actual program.
I hope this helps.

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?
(making a program work with windows 7)
Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is
for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like
you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from
other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before
installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use
"troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program
installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will
allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run.
Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))
SOURCE: Printmaster 17 does not save as pdf files under
Here's my solution: Don't waste your time and money on, use a program other than PrintMaster! PDF is universally accepted across formats/browsers/OS ...what kind of program would not export THE most commonly used format????
