SOURCE: I WOULD LIKE TO CONVERT

If I was in your place I would use a direct connection if both computer's are connected to the internet ...and in the same default gateway ..its easy ..cause you can find the other computer into my network places folder..after you select the view workgroup computers task ...You will have to disable the firewall in both machines and after that you will have access on the other computer just like in my computer folder..and copy files...
If they are not on the same workgroup...than you can use a remote control program to transfer the files directly ..THis one will do the job ..,all you have to do is to install it on both machines ..open in the remote one ..and in yours..and get the ed and password offered by the program and connect to it ..after that you basically have ful access to it ..even tranfer files..
here is the program :http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx
If the machines are not connected to the internet than the only way is to use a large memory stick or an external hard drive ...or just get the hard drive from the one you need the files and connect it temporary to the other one ..and you will find its partition in My computer ..after that just copy paste the files in the other partition from the computer you intend to use..

SOURCE: I can't convert printmaster files

Here is a step-by-step description of how to use the Professional Printing option to convert PrintMaster files to PDF:


1. In Tools/Options/General Options, check the box beside "Optimal Printing Resolution".

2. Go to File/Printer Setup/Printer Setup.

3. Under "Name" select Broderbund PDF Converter v2.10d

4. Next, go to File/Professional Printing.

5. Select "Save As PDF".

6. At the next screen, type the name of the PDF file you want to save in "Project Name".

7. Under "PDF Resolution", select 600 dpi.

8. Click on "Save As". In the next window, browse to the folder in which you want to save the file (for example: My Documents).

9. Click on the "Save" button.

10. PrintMaster will save the PDF file to the folder you selected.

11. Open the file in Adobe Acrobat to make sure all the elements and pages are there and that it looks as expected.

12. Once you are satisfied, upload this file to Print Pelican.


There are two caveats: 1. Because it is made to print cards and calendars to your laser or ink-jet printer, PrintMaster expects page sizes to be standard ones such as 11" x 17" or 8.5" x 11". Custom page sizes (such as 7" x 10") may not work properly. 2. Do not use backgrounds or elements that print to the edge of the page. This is a feature that will not print properly from PrintMaster. Make sure your pages have white margins with nothing printing on them.

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.

I can't open sig. files on window 7 keeps saying not supported will not allow me to use the software to open either. no matter that i the print shop as default

Print Shop 20 is not completely compatible with Windows 7. For example, when I try to open a Print Shop 20 project on my Windows 7 computer, by double-clicking on the file which is displaying the Broderbund logo, I receive an error message which says, "There was a problem sending the command to the program." And, even though the Print Shop 20 file will eventually open, it actually opens in PrintMaster.

It is, however, possible to force the file to open in Print Shop 20 by doing this:

1. Open Windows Explorer, then find and right click on a Print Shop 20 *.sig file.

2. When the menu drops down, click on 'Open with...'.

3. When the 'Open with' window opens, make sure that there is a check mark in the box next to 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.

4. If Print Shop 20 is displayed in either the 'Recommended Programs' section or the 'Other Programs' section, click on Print Shop 20, then click on OK.

If Print Shop 20 is NOT displayed in either the 'Recommended Programs' section or the 'Other Programs' section, click on the 'Browse' button.

5. When the second 'Open With' window opens, navigate to this folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\The Print Shop 20\The Print Shop 20

then, click on the tps.exe file.

6. Then, click on 'Open' then click on 'OK'.

This should cause all *.sig files to automatically open in Print Shop 20 when you double-click on them. However, since file associations are always based on the file extension of the project file, it might be necessary to repeat the process above for all Print Shop 20 file extensions.

Hope this helps....

I just bought a new computer loaded with windows 7 and I want to know what I can do to get my Printmaster 18 to work with this system. I just purchased Printmaster 2011 and it doesn't seem to be as user...

Unfortunately, the 'New' PrintMaster 2011 will not import any older PrintMaster .sig files created prior to PrintMaster 2.0. This means that over 1,100 projects I have,going back to 2004 are now useless. Did they even consider this before coming out with the new version? Is this the way that Broderbund treats long time customers of their product? Apparently so...so I will no longer be using any of their products from now on. I don't see any excuse for their actions.
