I am very reluctant to spend money on an update to Final Draft 9, only a year or so after I bought 8. It doesn’t help to change the location and timezone settings in your computer to USA.It doesn’t help to set your own printer to letter size.I tried and failed on a number of suggested or invented solutions, but found: Whether I tried it via the print window when in Final Draft or via the printer properties in my computer, I simply cannot access the settings. Whatever it is, I found it impossible to change the page properties in the PDF converter. Does Final Draft 8’s default PDF converter adopt my location on installation? Or did its settings get decided when I bought the software in a European webshop? Or when I registered it on the Final Draft site? Does Windows 8 just suck in more ways than I already thought? Is my laptop chauvinistic?
Note: if this problem no longer exists, let me know.įrankly, I have no idea what causes the problem. Generous as I am, I am sharing it with you. Ever tried to create a letter size PDF with Final Draft 8 on Windows 8 in Europe? Did you check the properties of your document when you opened it in the reader? Still A4? Well… there is a solution.
