That last point you made got me thinking, I remembered I had something saved, might be nothing, but still felt worth sharing.]
This reminded me, I jotted something down, this thing might be related, figured I’d toss it in.

Any recommendations of construction software for the iPad?

I've been using Crossfire on my Mac but apparently it does not work on the iPad.

Thanks in advance!

Hey RickyK,

Go to File then Print then NYT Submission

When the print box pops up go to the lower left corner and click on the arrow beside letters PDF.
 It will give you the option to save as the puzzle as a PDF. Save it and send it to the NYT.

Good luck!

Hi!

I am looking to submit my first puzzle to the NYT and had a question.

I found a New York Times Puzzle Submission Form and it looks like you provide your name, email address and puzzle title and they ask you to submit a PDF of your puzzle.

But how do I create a PDF using Crossfire? Under "File," I see two options: Export as (options include iPuz, Grid image and Solution image) and Print (options are: Puzzle Grid, Solution Grid, NYT Submission and Puzzle). Could someone with experience submitting to the Times, please tell me the steps you take?

Thanks in advance. Technical stuff is never my strength. 

Thanks,
Rick

So sorry to hear that--hope you're feeling better!
