Looking For Help With DavkaWriter

[Iz]

Davka tech support is not answering emails or phone calls. I was told that they are out of business. In any case, if anyone is familiar with someone who can provide tech support, or can answer a question himself, please PM me.
Thanks.

I am trying to export a file to PDF from DavkaWriter. I click export, select PDF, and click save but it doesn't save. Any ideas?

Install a free PDF printer (e.g. CutePDF or BullZip) and print to that.

That works. Does it lose any quality like that?

It shouldn't and if it does that is a setting. I once had a workaround for a software that didn't allow printing to a pdf printer by renaming the printer to PBF instead of PDF.

Looking now I get an error about pfd module not found, I don't have it installed from a cd though. It's very possible that's one of those things that never worked:)
The print to pdf should be just fine anyway

Anyone successfully installed a hebrew font on davka?

I was trying to update one of there fonts to just change the spacing of the dash (-) to no avail.

I can send you the answer to your question by fax, beam to your PalmPilot, or put it on a Floppy. Which do you want?

I am told it is not for no reason that none of those are around while Davka still is

i wouldn't call a unsupported software "still around" ask any IT professional in a yeshiva and they will tell you that the zombie needs to be put down and that anyone still using it is begging to lose data associated with it

Their email support definitely isn't around but the software is certainly used by lots of people.
