Changing ccw file to pdf
« on: May 23, 2021, 09:37:18 AM »
I followed the advice on how to change a Crossword Compiler file to a pdf (following the advice given
in the Oct 15,2020 post entitled "transfer clues and answers from completed. . .") .But a problem occurred:
although I used a filled-in grid, I ended up with a blank grid (when I did a preview). Does anybody know
what did I do wrong?

If you want to export a PDF with a filled grid, you use the export function and select SOLUTION. Selecting PUZZLE will give you a blank grid.

I'm able to use the EXPORT function to obtain the filled-in grid with the heading I want as a pdf file.  But how
do I get the listing of clues in the col. format wanted by NYT in pdf format and combined with the above grid
so I can send one pdf file?

Oh, for this you want to use the PRINT function (not export).

Check: Headers (that's where your name and address go on the puzzle file); Solution; Numbered Solution; Clues; Clues with answers; Separate Pages; Centered Grid

I tried this, Thanks. but I still have a problem with the header. NYT wants the header on the page
with the filled-in grid.  I get page 1 blank (but the header is on this page).Then, PP2, 3, and 4 are the list
of clues. Page 5 is the filled-in grid with no heading.  Any further ideas? Thanks so far!
