Topic: Converting .ppp to .pdf

Hello

Am new to this site but wish I had found it years ago, what a mine of information!

I loved PagePlus! I used it to produce a monthly parish magazine on it for four years - I *think* I had PagePlus 6 but it is a long time ago now. I also used it in the 2000s when I did some research on the history of our village school for its 150th birthday.  I used the wonderful PagePlus and gave the school a printed version.  This has gone walkabout sadly so I said I would print off another copy … if only I had done the original in Word rather than directly in PagePlus!  It seems there is no way to open the files without the discs or the keys which are who knows where now ... it is many many computers and three house moves ago.

Is there a kind soul that could convert the .ppp files to .pdf?  I can then edit and provide the school with another copy - and keep an editable version for safekeeping!

Thanking you wishfully!

Ginny

Do you have the .ppp file?  If you get a pdf you'll only be able to edit it in a program that edits pdf files, like PagePlus :-) or Adobe, etc.  Not sure if your .ppp file will be compatible with my later PagePlus version

Thank you for your reply Walter.  Yes, I have Adobe smile  I can't remember which PagePlus I used, I remember upgrading at least once as it went from disks to a download, which I was dubious about, but it worked!

I've attached the file, if you can open it, fantastic!  If not, thank you very much for trying, much appreciated.

Hi Ginny,
I thought I sent you an email, well maybe I didn't. Never mind, email me on itcccote(at)gmail.com and I might be able to help you on this.

pdf attached. Pictures missing as they were not embedded. Also I do not have your fonts, so some reflowing has been necessary.

Thank you, GB and John, for helping me with this - such a lot of work had gone in to the research I was worried it had all disappeared into the ether!  The school will be happy too smile. If you're ever on the Lizard in Cornwall, you'll see it survives still in Ruan Minor - long may it continue!

Thank you both again, very much appreciated.

Best wishes
Ginny

That is quite apparent! I hope you can reconstruct the booklet OK.

I used to visit Place Manor in St Anthony in Roseland regularly way back, but it's a bit too far away now I'm out here on the west coast US. Beautiful areas - both!
