Lotus 123 wk3 to pdf

Post by woodchip »

I did a google search but can't seem to find much to convert a lotus wk3 file to a pdf file. Any of you tech types have any ideas how to do this? I hate to spend a lot of money for something I only have to use a couple of times.

Flip, downloaded your link but when I went to install, it was blocked because of spyware or virus?

ugh, well give the 1.7.3 version a try. the installer for the 2x version comes with a stupid sneaky adware installer, the kind where you have to click cancel rather than next.

method is still the same: print to pdf.

What I found out is you can export a csv file format from lotus123, which lets you import into practically anything. Do you see that option when you save or export?

Actually I discover I can use Snagit 8. I capture the file and then it will convert it to a pdf.

Yeah, I really appreciate the help I get here. Saved my pasty white buns any number of times.
