Emailing PDFs for OS X 10.3.x...
2006-10-10 • Hints & Tips
I wrote the other day about setting up your mac to use Entourage for sending PDFs. The instructions I gave showed how to do it in OS X 10.4.x, and I had a few emails asking if it was possible in other version of OS X as well. the good news is that the same thing is possible in 10.3.x as well!

The views look a little different, but it works in the same way (although you have to set things up manually).

First, see if there is a folder ready - open up the Library folder in your Home directory. In there you may find a folder called "PDF Services" - if you don't, create one, but make sure you get the name just right.

Then, drag an alias to Entourage into that PDF Services folder (You can make an alias easily by command-option-dragging the Entourage application icon to that folder). Give it a sensible name, like "Send PDF through Entourage".

Now, when you start up the print dialog in any application, under the 'PDF button' (the second button in the bottom left hand corner of the dialog) you will see your option to send through Entourage.

This will work with Entourage 2004 or Entourage vX.
