Hi team,
I wanted to print my finished file to a PDF document. I got an error message asking me to install the "PD995 driver." I checked the Internet and the only reference is the "PDF995 driver."
I agreed to install it from BIAB, and then restarted my computer. I got the same message as though the driver was never installed. Do I download it from the Internet, install it, and then try again? Thanks.

I use Cute PDF also. You don't need to have PDF995 to use BIAB.
However, it might be as simple as that you need to install PDF995. I'm not sure about this since, as I said, I don't use it. But I think PDF995 must be an EXE file on your supplied PG Music USB drive. I know, you told the installer to include it, but it does no harm to install manually. Find it and run it.
If that's wrong, somebody who does use PDF995 as supplied by PG Music, please correct me.
Then, when you go to print, look for PDF995 as a printer you can select instead of your regular printer choice.
If you download one of the many other choices including those Trevor mentioned, same instructions.

Yes PDF995 (FULL) is one of the selectable INSTALL OPTIONS, actually last in the list.

Great explanation, guys. I gave up on the Adobe reader because it lacked so many features I need in my technical writing. Instead, I use Foxit. It's very fast, and I can annotate with it. Perhaps BIAB has detected it and needs the PDF995 driver. I'll install it from the list.
Thanks...

As an aside, I don't think Foxit has any relationship to BIAB. I also have used Foxit Reader for years but I'm disappointed that it has started to nag regularly for updates.

Problem solved guys. Now my PDF documents open in Foxit. The driver seems compatible. All I need to do now is figure out how to block the very annoying popup ads from PDF995.com. I also have an anomaly in the PDF docs. It's a line under each lyric line. Perhaps it's a Foxit thing that won't be printed??
