These apps offer Save As png/jpeg formats only. That can be useful if there aren't any other options, but it tends to be a hassle. You have to crank up the DPI setting pretty high on the rasterization operation, and then you end up with image files that some printers seem to choke on. Our (admittedly ancient) LasertJet 8150 seems to be particulary bad handling large, hi-DPI image files. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
