Paperport / .max viewer for OS X

[Brad]

Hi folks. Sorry to bother with this fairly obscure question, but I
need your help.

I have a bunch of .max files that are scans from a Visioneer scanner
back when I used to use Windows. These files are probably five years
old, but some of them are very important.

I need a software application that can view the .max files in OS X.
That way, I could save them as PDFs.

I know that there is a Paperport viewer for OS Classic. I have that.
But I can't seem to use that application in Classic to save as PDFs.

Basically, I need to convert these files to something that can be read
on OS X.

I'm digging pretty deep here, I know. But if anybody has some insight
or advice, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for all your help. Brad.

Install a Postscript printer driver in Classic

Print to a .ps file

If you have Panther or later double-click on the file to have it
converted to a .pdf and opened in Preview.app

It probably already has Apple LaserWriter. Or you can download the AdobePS
driver from adobe.com.

you guys are genius. it worked. i can import the files to Classic,
then use the Print function to save as a postscript file, and
then....ah yes...from there, convert to PDF in OS X.

genius.

many thanks gents.

Why not just print to PDF from Classic?

Seems that would save you a step.

The "why not just" sounds like you assume the OP was aware of it.

Sorry if my wording was poor. I did provide the source for doing so.
