It creates a virtual printer, that prints to PDF. So, as long as the editor you use can print something, you can create a PDF out of it.
Sure? I tried some of those virtual printers and all they did was create a JPG in a PDF-wrapper. :( Fonts lose their vector-nature, etc...

Oh, right, i hadn't thought of that. Yes, probably that's what those do. I can't confirm that because i don't have primoPDF installed right now, though.

I found this on search:

and for me it worked.

I've been using primoPDF for a couple of years now, and it seems to create what appears to be a real PDF...maybe I'm wrong, but as I can do a Find text within Adobe Reader while viewing it, and it finds the text, and AR doc properties shows various fonts that match...

Sounds cool, I'll try it! :)

:oops: that method i linked seems to have the same quality as primopdf. Just checked both methods and at 1600% zoom fonts look good. So primopdf should be fine i guess.

primoPDF is great!!! :D Just uploaded a new cheat sheet. The graphics looks a bit paler than before, but should print out okay.

Thanks everybody!

CKS / Miscellaneous / Focus Address Bar Ctrl+Alt+A
add Alt+D here

Yeah, done that. And then reverted. And now I'm thinking of adding it again. Alt+D is nice because it's consistent with IExplorer, Firefox, Explorer... OTOH it beeps, but then again my pc is muted 99% of the time.

Oh man, life's hard! :mrgreen:

Hey, have I already mentioned that I love that pdf cheat sheet? Thinking of taping it somewhere around here...

You know what, just in case let me bump this, cause I still believe in everything I said ;) and that idea of "presets"/"favorites"/whatever you call it still sounds nice to my hears :)

You actually put a few of them on the File menu for this purpose I believe, but I'd like to access them all, namely all the ones relating to Move (and not Copy), and that include Move Here to New Subfolder !

Actually, with Move, that last one is the only one that would make sense if we use the same thing, ie. don't get a window to select the destination. And if you don't want to create a new thing for this, which I understand, then I'd suggest:
- Add Move/Copy Here to New Subfolder to CKS (cause I do use that one (Move), yes even on the current folder)
- Maybe add into the upcoming enhanced M/C/B To interface a way to get access to those, kind of. That would mean:
> like Batch Rename, along with <d> for Date Now, add support of <m> for Date Modified (one folder for multiple items? Use info of selected one)
> have a button that would popup some (editable, through LM) presets. I know about MRU, but it's really not the same to have an MRU, and a list of chosen presets we might not used as often but want to remember/have easilly stored when needed.

And to keep things coming in, that's already something I thought of before so I might have mentionned it before as well, but some kind of presets would also be good for some rename features, like (but not limited to) RegExp Rename for example.
Note: for presets, it would also be cool if they'd have a "name", so one chose them for their names, not having to decode the mask/regexp/etc to know which is what...

I was thinking about assigning ctrl-pgUp and ctrl-pgDn to move between tabs, but xy says "this shortcut is not customizable" (alt-pgUp and alt-pgDn work tough). Did I miss something?

These are standard navigation keys in Windows controls. I reserved them to avoid countless potential conflicts.
