> Is it possible to convert an Encore file to .pdf? If so, how is it done?

Yes.

It depends how much you want to spend :-)

The simplest is to "print" to a pdf generator. One which is very
good, but costs for a full version is FinePrint pdfFactory. This
creates a new printer which you can select from your normal print
menu. When you print to it, it pops up a window from which you can
save a pdf file.

You can download a demo from www.fineprint.com. This is fully working,
but it puts "generated by pdfFactory" at the bottom of every page.

If you use this, something you should watch out for is to tell it to
embed any "non-standard" fonts. Otherwise things may not look right
at the other end.

The free, but slightly more complicated way. Is to setup a postScript
printer and print to a file. Then use GhostScript & GhostView to
generate a pdf file from the PostScript.


Hope that helps. If you want more help let me know
