PrintToPDF v2.1.1

update is available for download. This terrific shareware allows the creation of PDF files without Adobe Acrobat. Changes in this update:

* Fixed a bug that caused Acrobat Reader to give an "Illegal operation inside a path" error message on PDFs made from Apple's Help Viewer.
* The built-in font substitutions now substitute Zapf Chancery for Apple Chancery.
* Internet Explorer's "fit to page" option will no longer leave a scale setting that affects other programs.
* Fixed a crash in PageMaker when both scaling and rotation were applied to text.
* Fixed incorrect aspect ratio of scaled text that was in a font rendered with bitmaps.
* Text in a font rendered as bitmaps is now less likely to be cut off on the ends. This was mostly a problem with italic or script fonts.
* You should now get the correct result if you specify a starting page number but not an ending page number in the Print dialog.
* Fixed a problem printing certain transparent GIFs in iCab.
* The file names chosen by PrintToPDF now end in ".pdf" instead of ".PDF".
