    Printing maps as PDFs

    It is often convenient to print CC3+ maps to pdf, as this allows you to share them easily and also take them to a print service for large-scale printing. There are several free virtual printers available, that let you print CC3+ maps as pdfs:

    1. CutePDF
    2. PDF995
    3. PDFCreator

    Once you've installed any of them, you can use them like any other Windows printer, only they create pdfs for you.
