I'm not sure I understand, but if the "Print to file" option in TextMaker is the same as in Word then dopdf won't work with it being checked as that actually creates a special .prn file with instructions for the print job - so uncheck it and make the conversion.

Thanks for sending these:

- you shouldn't use "Print to file" with dopdf, it makes no sense to have it checked so leave it unchecked and create the pdf file

- we'll look in the landscape/portait page switching problem, it seems that indeed the page layout is not kept in some cases for Textmaker.
