Once you have the file in PDF format, you can setup bookmarks, watermarks, document information, add signatures on it and more.After the conversion is completed the PDF will open in the default PDF reader if selected.Click on OK and in the Save PDF File dialog choose additional options like PDF merging, e-mail sending, choosing a custom path to save the PDF in and more.After opening the file go to File -> Print or press Ctrl + P and when the printer list opens choose novaPDF as the printer name.


NOTE: Due to lack of Windows developers on the open source project for AbiWord, there is no longer a Windows version available for download.
