Dave, thanks for the research. PDF Creator gets me around the problem
providing I output to a Page size that gets the image on one page -
PDFCreator allows A0 paper size, so that gets me past the post.
I found some problems on Installing it in Vista.
If the download is run with Administrator Priviledges then it seems to work
some of the time (nothing seems to work all of the time in Vista) except the
WMI error at book up.
