Morning All,

is it possible to save the flowchart diagram(s) as a pdf or something similar so that the flow chart could be printed on another machine that does not have flowcode installed ?

Hi Steve,
If have have already got Microsoft office then when you select print, you might have Microsoft Print to PDF as a printer option.
If not, what I will use is Cute PDF writer.
Its totally free with no spy/malware.
Just download the zip version, then install Converter.exe first then install CuteWriter.exe.
What I do during installation is un-select make Ask my start page as I don't like apps interfering with my browser settings.
When you want to save to PDF all you do is select print within Flowcode, then select CutePDF Writer as your printer.
After selecting OK you will get a Save As box, so just type in the name of the PDF file.

You can also just have your chart displayed, click "Print Screen" on your keyboard. This takes a screenshot and saves it to the clipboard. You then open paint, click paste, save the file, and print it on any machine.

This is ok but I have a large flowchart that doesn't fit onto the screen fully
