Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Faiz

This thread is 7 years old!

It is not a good idea to add to long dead threads.

And do not put your email in an open thread - use the private message service.

Best regards

Mike Testro

My approach to this problem is to:
1. In the menu select File, Preview Picture.
2. You will be asked to save it with a suggested name of PRIMA with a path identified, these are variables.
3. Once saved, open an application common to your company/recipient(s) and paste in the saved file.
4. Once pasted you can then size the picture by using the handles. It is better to use the corner handles as this will maintain the perspective.
5. Then simply save in the appropriate new format.
6. All recipients can now use it without being to edit.
7. The *.pdf route will not work with P3 files unless the recipient also has P3.

Ahmed,

There is an easier way to do this. Just go to the print preview of your layout, right click and chose to save your layout as an image.
