Lol.
I don't accept Final Draft.

I'm the same way with Jesus.
Final Draft is when you get paid. Looking forward to seeing you in Doctor Who Dolly D!

Who are you sending them to?
Beeb. And some indie prodcos. And also a tricky to get friends and family to review it if you can't e-mail them a copy...

Just convert from FD to PDF and send them that way.
Yeah, I use CutePDF for that, but it never seems to work that well - it's especially bad at handling scene breaks. I should probably upgrade my version of FD.

In the 'Save As' option on FD you can produce a pdf version (which will include the title page).

True dat.

Not with the 'free' version unfortunately. I can't really justify going to the full version until the writing starts paying for it.
Celtx has a free pdf version.
Just click on Transcript and save that.
Celtx is geared more towards film scripts though it seemed to me last time I looked at it. Plus you can't create custom layouts.
Quote: Godot Taxis @ July 20 2009, 4:36 PM BSTThis thread's a bit depressing. Have you guys never heard of 'stylesheets' on word processors?
FD is just a word processor with some pre-prepared styles. You can make them yourself in five seconds, like Matt says. I bet 75% of people who buy FD have already got a word processor. You're just buying another one with a menu feature already activated.
And in all honesty you don't really need to 'buy' a computer.
It's just a lot of wires and shit joined together.
Beats me why people shell out for these 'off-the shelf' solutions when a few months work with a soldering iron will get you something just as good for a fraction of the cost.
What is a good price for Final Draft 8?
