Printing to pdf when running Windows in Boot Camp

I have reluctantly installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Air (1.7 GHz, Core i5, 4 GB, OS 10.8.2). I run a simulation program which produces a report for printout. I would like to have the option of printing to pdf so that I can select pages for printing, change print quality and print additional copies of selected pages from the report.
The software developer advises using PrimoPDF. Is it possible to select this as the default printer in Windows so that the program prints to PrimoPDF automatically?

cute pdf for windows is free and acts as a printer and when printed to creates an pdf file

  • Macbook Pro running Windows with Boot Camp, wanting to use iMac as second monitor.

    I am using a Macbook Pro that is running Windows with Boot Camp. I want to connect it to my iMac so that I can use the iMac as a second monitor. 
    If it is not possible, I also have a TV that I could use using an HDMI, however when I tried this my Macbook Pro running Windows 8.1 did not detect it in the Display Settings.
    What are my options? I just want to use my iMac or TV as a second monitor!!
    Any help is appreciated, tMachanks!

  • Use external monitor w/ Macbook running Windows in Boot Camp?

    Within the Mac OS, I close the lid to my Macbook and then hit the spacebar to then use an external 20" monitor. When running Windows within Bootcamp, I shut the lid of the Macbook, but cannot get the external monitor to show an image. How can I get my external monitor to work when using Windows XP within Bootcamp, once I shut the lid to the Macbook?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, while on Windows XP you have to do it "the microsoft" way! To switch displays, just press Fn + F7 until the image shows at the tv.. tell me if it worked (imho this way better than the "close the lid and touch the external mouse" trick)

  • Keyboard backlighting not working when using Windows in Boot Camp

    Hi, I'm posting this for a friend with a new Macbook Air. He says that his keyboard backlighting does not work when he is using it for Windows (don't know which, but probably Vista). Any ideas why? Thanks. Gary

    Install all the drivers needed when running boot camp - try for example inserting a DVD - then press the eject key - See if it comes out - If it doesn't install all the drivers - try Control Panel - If not try re-installing your version of Windows.

  • Antivirus for iMac running Windows with Boot Camp

    I am running Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp. If I install an antivirus, will it protect me when I am logged into windows? Or do I need to install an additional antivirus when I am on Windows?

    You only need anti-virus protection for the Windows environment, though this will likely bring out a fire storm of debate.
    The most susceptible system is Windows so protect yourself there.

  • Can a mac running windows with Boot Camp be found by Find My iPhone

    I'm running Windows on my MacBook Pro via BootCamp and I'm using the Find My iPhone iCloud app on my iPad. My MacBook Pro cannot be found by Find My iPhone, it's labeled as off-line, even though it's connected to the Internet.
    So my question is this: is there a way for Find My iPhone to see my Mac while running Windows. Note, I've already got iCloud for Windows installed on the Windows side of my MacBook Pro (and Find My Mac turned on on the Mac side, and while on the Mac side, it's always found, no problem.)

    When you iPhone is not connected to the Internet either through 3G/Wi-fi or because it is off then you cannot track it.
    If FindMyiPhone is enabled, even if the iPhone is off or not on wifi/3G, it will still show in FindMyiPhone under Devices, though it cannot be located.
    If it is not showing No Devices, FindMyiPhone is not enabled.
    If it does show in Devices and shows Offline, FindMyiPhone is enabled but it is off or not on wifi/3G.
    This is one way to remove the activation lock if you do not have the device. Delete it from FindMyiPhone in iCloud.

  • Can the illuminated keyboard be activated on the Mac Book Pro while running windows in boot camp?

    Illuminated ket board only works when in OS 10. When switched to windows 7 it will nit light. How do I get it on?

    Invalid B-tree node size
    Volume check failed.
    I'll expand on the last post a little.
    Disk Utility cannot repair that error.
    If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy. Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand. It has repaired every little and big issue I have ever had with my three Macs.
    If you have a good backup, hopefully a clone of your system before you had issues, an Erase and Install will also rid you of this issue. But, beware! You will lose everything on the drive with this procedure. Let us know if you need help with that!
    Good Luck! DALE
    p.s. Here's a rewiew of DiskWarrior 4.

  • Multitouch on track pad not working when running Windows 8 in boot camp

    Does anyone know a work around on how to resolve the issue of more than one fingers on the trackpad? For example, I use one finger to click a window then another finger to slide/move the window to a different location on the screen. This does not work when running Windows 8 in Boot Camp latest version. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

    very very few gestures are supported in windows

  • How can I print a pdf file in Windows 8?

    I'm new to Windows 8. How can I print a pdf file in Windows 8?

    Well, you can install Adobe Reader XI - not the version for Windows 8 tablets, but the one for regular PCs. This is just the same in Windows 8 as other systems, and can print. The tablet reader, which also runs on PCs, can't print.

  • WiFi slow when running Windows 7 on Mac Mini (2011)

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Mac Mini (2011) and used Boot Camp for installing Windows 7 as well. However I am experiencing some problems with the WiFi when running Windows. The speed is less than 10% of what it should be. I have tried connecting a network cable and then everything is running fine. When booting into OS X Lion there are no problems with running WiFi. I have tried to rightclick on the network adapter and select update drivers but it says that the driver installed is up to date.
    Any ideas?

    Apparently it was a router issue. When I connected my old Cisco router as an extended access point both the Mac OS and Windows session connected as supposed to. I made a factory reset of the router provided by my ISP, configured it again and the problem apparently seemed to be solved.
    However overnight the problem occured again - I swithed the router off and on again and was able to connect. I noticed in the DHCP log that when running Mac OS the computername "My-Mac-Mini" is sent to the router with the MAC address of the network card - when running Windows it is the machine name I entered during the Windows installation. Not sure if that is confusing the router from my ISP but after I changed the computername in Mac OS the connection seems stable.

  • Question mark when running Windows

    When running Windows Vista on my iMac - Leopard OS and it is idle after "a while" I see a flashing disk object with a blinking question mark. Only way out is the off button. I have read about this problem during start ups but this after the machine is on and running and is idle. Any ideas?
    iMac 3.06   Windows Vista  

    I am running from Bootcamp. It is very odd - this error occurs when Windows has booted succesfully and multipkle apps and games have been run over the course of the day then after being idle for a while in the evening - bingo the screen goes grey and the disk with the flashing question mark is there and as said the only next step is the off button. When I boot back up in Windows it runs fine until the same error ocurrs sometime after use and it is idle, that is no apps running. I have run Norton and Malwarbytes virus scans with nothing found. I run Registry clean up and after that fixes items same thing. Also I run TuneUp which has kept everything running smoothly - I do not engage TurboBoost.

  • Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

    I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
    If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

    If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space.  Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

  • IIf I create a partition for Bootcamp that is at least 30 GB in size, is that all the storage I get when running Windows?

    If I create a partition for Bootcamp that is at least 30 GB in size, is that all the storage I get when running Windows?

    There are differences between each Mac and what the original configuration of the Mac is/was. If your Mac originally came with an Optical drive, burning the ISO to a DVD and using it will work. Hardware modifications like Optibay will cause problems. Modifying Bootcamp info.plist will cause problems. Disk Utility partitioning will cause problems. A custom Hybrid MBR will cause problems. External Optical drives are unlikely to work. There is long litany of grief.
