Dear all

I have some of game save in pgn and cbv format.

How do I convert them into pdf format so I can print it out in a paper?

You can copy them from notepad then paste in ms word and save it as pdf

Or just do Alt-PrtScn (print screen), then paste that into Word and you don't need to convert the file at all.

Blitzkrieg14

you can do it in fritz using print option message me on fb for details

cheers :)

How should I get cbv files convert into pgn files?

As far as I know, most all of the chessbase creators do support for PDF conversion. The frustrating part is this is the very type of software rare to update, so in a number of cases, you would get poorly formatted pages and some moves missing. I handle that manually by editing the issues with the editor like this one https://w9.pdffiller.com and it works out well for me. Quite a trick, but yet there's no other solution

I got the same error. If you turn off annotations, it will work just fine.
