Relius 5500 software

[TPAnnie]

Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow print the 5500 and schedules (like a batch print) to a file? So many auditors want to see a draft 5500, but don't use the same software. So I end up printing, then faxing 20 pages, just to have to end up making changes and print and fax again. TIA!

If you have Adobe Acrobat you can print the forms to PDF and then email them to the auditor. And even nicer, when you print from Relius to PDF, the program automatically inserts a watermark on the bottom of the pages which says "For Review Only Do Not File".

PiP-

Can you be more specific? I think I'm missing something because when I send a batch print to a .pdf version, each Schedule is saved as a different file? Is there a way to combine together and send as one document instead of separate documents?

Thanks!

Not sure if you can combine them. I don't have time to test it, but Chapter 7 of the Relius instructions has a page on forms conversion.

I think there is some freeware out there that adds a printer called "PDFWriter" or something like that. I don't know how or where to get it but maybe your IT guys might.

Here's the free version. Works great.

Bill, This is a great program, I just installed and tried it with word and excel, thanks!! I cannot get it to work with Relius, though. It's giving me that error about post script printer drivers; that I should choose a non PS printer driver under the file menu...how did you get around this?

thanks!

Well, I'm not sure what to do to get around this problem, because I haven't had it. Have you installed it just as a printer choice? That's what we have. So, instead of printing to the HP laser, I choose CutePDF and print.

I know that isn't technical and I'll keep looking to see if I can get an answer.

It has been installed as a printer choice. So, now I can choose that specific printer, rather than my default printer. Here's the error I'm getting, "Postscript printer drivers are not supported for Non-EFAST forms. Please select a non-Postscript driver using Print Setup under the File menu.".

I've had this error before, when trying to use my HP Laser Jet 4000 printer. The fix was to add a print driver for HP Laserjet IIIsi, point it to my 4000, name it something unique then use that printer for my default printer. But when I do that to the CutePDF printer, it starts printing to the printer.

I know this is complicated and more than what a message board might be expected to do, so I don't expect you to work on trying to get an answer. I posted this more in case someone that's already had this problem might be able to suggest something. But, I do thank you for your help, and the suggestion to use CutePDF!!
