Sorry Bernie. Adobe Acrobat Professional is the program which creates 
PDF files which you read with Adobe Reader. It runs as a program but it
also looks like a printer to Windows so you print to it as if you were
printing to a real bit of hardware.

I see Matt suggests a different PDF creator and I shall look at that -
thanks Matt - but I really hoped to avoid having two PDF creation systems
having forked out the loot for Acrobat Professional 8 which does all the
clever things. So if there is an answer to my original query that would be
best but if not - well, I'll certainly try Matts suggestion ยทยทยท
