Microsoft Office Project is a software used to schedule and control projects. If you need to send a Microsoft Office Project file for review, physically printing or share it with your team, it's recommended that you convert it first to a PDF. Document sharing is easier using PDF files, because the recipient does not need to have Microsoft Office Project installed in order to open the PDF (being also multi-platform, same PDF can be opened both on Windows and Mac powered systems) and by converting it the original design of the project remains unaltered. novaPDF is a PDF creator that once installed it offers and option to print your project to a PDF file - simply choose novaPDF as a printer and once you click the Print button your project will be converted to a PDF.

Converting specific Microsoft Project reports to PDF
Microsoft Project allows creating different customizable reports for your project, which might be particularly helpful with large projects. To convert custom reports to PDF:
Open Microsoft Office Project and go to File->Open, browse for the project you want to print reports for and open it
Go to View->Reports and from the Reports window choose a general report type and click on Select
In the Overview Reports window you can choose a more specific report type (you can also use the Edit option to customize it) and click on Select.
The Print Preview window will open and allow you to preview the report type before converting it to PDF. To create the PDF click on Print and if novaPDF is displayed in the Printers field then click OK. Note that in the Print Preview mode you cannot change the printer, so if novaPDF is not selected as the printer you'll have to go back to Microsoft Project's File menu, click on Print, select novaPDF and then press Cancel - now if you follow the steps mentioned above you'll be able to convert that Report to PDF by printing it through novaPDF.
Starting with version 6, novaPDF now includes a PDF merging (combining) option, so you can print different projects to a single PDF (before, after or as background/foreground for the existing PDF). Even more, you can print to the same PDF not only from MS Project, but also from other programs combining this way different documents to a single PDF.
