Blurry when saved

So FAQ question #4 on the Technical support page is the problem i'm having. Tried to follow instructions, but i cant seem to find everything im supposed to.

For instance, "3. Click Properties >> Advanced, set the resolution 1200dpi, and the paper size to letter.", I cannot find any of this.

Also,

"4. Print.
5. When you see the PDF Creator dialog, click Options and choose PNG, set the resolution to 600 dpi.
6. Click Save, pull down the file type to be PNG and and type a file name."

None of this Happens when i click print.

I have downloaded PDF Creator. Im sure its something simple and im just not understanding the instructions. Thanks in advance!

P.S. I dont actually want to print out my map at this time. I just want to save it so i can use it in Fantasy Grounds for our game this sunday.

    Are you using CC3+. If so, I would recommend exporting straight to an image via file -> save as instead of going through pdf printing. CC3+ generally handles high resolution exports a bit better than CC3+.
    To change the resolution of the export, click the options button in the save as dialog AFTER selecting an image type as the file type to save.

    As for the instructions for PDF creator not being accurate, I am guessing it is because they put out a new version that changed things around. I dopn't have instructions for the latest version unfortunately, but if you look around, you should find the same settings somewhere.

  • So, I somehow made it work before. Don't know how, it just showed up.
    Trying again, but its not happening. I follow every step, go through PDF Creator, and it even saves a PDF, but its blank. just a white sheet.

    if someone knows WFT, id really appriciate it. im running a game tomorrow and really need this to work
  • Ctrol-P to bing up the print dialog. Slect your printer, or pdf printer, at the top of that.

    Try View to Print: Everything.

    Print White as Black and Print Everything Black is unchecked.

    I then clicked okay. After a pause, the bullzip pdf printer I selected came up. Click okay, prints to pdf or png, whichever I have it set at.
