- If you're printing to PostScript, be careful. Windows cannot open up PostScript files. If you need your file to be read on a Windows, you should export to PDF.
+ PostScript is the file format used by most laser printers,
+ and in UNIX world is the easiest way to print to a file.
+ However, most systems running Microsoft Windows can't
+ recognize or handle PostScript files. You'll need to print
+ to PDF if you want to share your file with Windows users.
