See how to do this in my article on using PrimoPDF on my website.
You just print the two parts and join them with PrimoPDF. PrimoPDF just prints the title page alone when you try that option. I know it says "Include Title Page" in the Print Dialog in FD, but I think the option only works when you use FD's own PDF utility. If you use PrimoPDF or another PDF driver like it, you have to print each PDF separately and then join them. So now they let you include the title page when you "print" to PDF (provided that you use FD's own "Print to PDF" option). That did not matter when you were just going to send out a hard copy, but if you are going to make a PDF it is helpful to be able to put it all into one PDF file. I think I am correct that with earlier versions, before PDF became such a standard, you had to print the title page separately. You cannot just paste a page onto the beginning of a document if you want to start your page numbering with page 1 on the first page of the script proper. To be fair to Final Draft (I am in a generous mood), the company was not being clumsy here. Man, I don't check the board for about 24 hours and all kinds of questions about PDF and other software spring up like mushrooms! Why is it that when I try to cut and paste title page into body of screenplay from Final Draft to send out as PDF the option to paste is not there? Why is title page separate from the screenplay in Final Draft? The title page automatically shows up on the saved PDF document. It's confusing that the Title page does not show up on the actual FD script.Īlso FD7's File dropdown menue has a SAVE AS PDF option, which saves some of your steps. Open the document and it will have a title page.Mike you should note that the little x is in the dropdown menue to the left of the File menue. look in the directory where you saved it and you should see a new PDF file of your script. You will see the save bar load across the screen and when done, close out the FD document. You have now created a title page in the FD script document, you just can't see it from the script pages.Īt bottom of the Save As window, there is a line for FILE NAME where you'll have the name of your document or title of your script.īELOW that is another line called SAVE AS with file types. In your script document, go up to DOCUMENTĬreate title page and close the "little X" at top left hand side.this will close ONLY the title page and not the entire script. Let's make sure, just in case, you have the Title Page process correct in FD.
