3.6 Exporting PostScript or pdf from Windows programs
=====================================================

Microsoft Office 2010 can now export to pdf, either the entire document
or a selection.  This removes a major headache for Windows users.
Windows 10 also includes a pdf printer.

As a last resort on earlier Windows versions, you can "print" to a
PostScript file.  From some programs, you can print a selection.  A
suitable driver which comes with Windows is Generic / MS Publisher Color
Printer.  Pay attention to the printer properties: choose "Outline" for
font downloading and avoid the "Optimize for speed" setting for
PostScript Output Option.  In my tests, "Encapsulated PostScript" did
not look very promising either.  Try e.g.  "Archive" instead.  These
options can be found under the Advanced button.
