[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1393637, member: 46727"] I understand your frustration. It's too bad Thunderbird proved to be incompatible. The problem as you found out, is that the virtual print functions do not include a print to PDF as found in OS X or even in some Windows programs. I realize you probably would not prefer to change your accounting program to a Mac one since that may incur even more work and may not fully meet your current needs. However, I think it's something you might want to consider for the future. Here is another solution to consider: Instead of running Windows 7 in a virtual session (Fusion) you might want to create a dual boot using the Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows 7 native on your Mac. That would allow you to use all print services including PDF from Windows 7 running native. Of course that would mean each time you wish to run your accounting program you would have to reboot to Windows. Perhaps someone else can chime in here and offer you a better solution, but for now that's all I can think of. [/QUOTE]
