Close your eyes, and imagine: A BB "Main Screen", with the song info and tracks at the top, and the bars and chords of the arrangement below.

I want to render that to a PDF.

Does anyone have a way to do that? (Aside from the "inspiration-killing Print Screen/paste image into Word / Save as PDF" method?)

Hey, Pipeline -

Thanks! I'm on the Dark Side of the Force (Win 10), but will investigate!

Thanks Pipeline: thanks for the links.

I tried 7Capture, didn't quite work for me. No help file at all or ReadMe. Deleted.

I'm trying PDF24 but .... (a) it wants you to create an account AND (b) it wants all your information including address, phone # etc. I deleted the account and sent an email asking if I can still use the software without the account.
ADDED: just heard back that you can use the sw without creating an account.

Went to Win2PDF site, and to purchase is $45.xx, too expensive for me.

Re: isksoft, just had a look at the web site, haven't tried it yet.

Thanks
DE

I wonder if this might be a Wishlist request for PG Music to add a Print option that would list the song and track info etc. at the top, and then the printout of just the chords. Since you can already print just the chords, it seems like it might not be difficult to do.

Just tried 7Capture works great ! has "7capture.chm" help file, if you can't open chm upload to http://www.convertfiles.com/convert/ebook/CHM-to-PDF.html
Open 7Capture, select app to take shot of, press Ctrl+PrtScrn
or just PrtScrn for whole desktop.
Save as any image type or pdf.

Right click Save Link/Target As, then rename to .pdf

I went to all the trouble of finding the pdf save but I just noticed the one I use has PDF save http://www.irfanview.com/ and it's free, make sure you get the plugin pack as well.

You can PrtScrn (Alt+PrtScrn for window) > Irfanview > Ctrl+V
or while Irfanview is open press "C"

Crop > select area in image > Ctrl+Y

Color Adjust > Shift+G

Color Adjust area > select area in image > Shift+G

Text > select area in image > Ctrl+T

Paint Tools > F12

Resize Image > Ctrl+R
