Validating with Celtx

Yes I'm an idiot. But I'm an idiot with a question, and I need someone to answer it.
I'm typing up my script on Celtx, and I need to know how to validate my page count on my Frenzy page. (Or whatever it's called.)

I'm new to this. Help? :(

RE: Validating with Celtx

If you are in Celtx 2.0, just go to the "TypeSet" tab on the bottom of the script. In the upper left hand corner, there will be a button that says "save pdf". Click it, save it as a pdf, then load that in under my scriptfrenzy and it should validate.

RE: Validating with Celtx

I have an odd little problem. When i save my file as a PDF like you said, it tells me it can't open the file because it isn't a supported file type. Am I missing some amazingly simple thing, and can someone tell me what to do about it?

RE: Validating with Celtx

Do you have a copy of Adobe Reader installed on your computer? That's the program that reads PDF files. It could be that you just don't have that installed so you can't open the file. Unless there's something different going on that I couldn't get from your explanation. In that case, I can't help at all.

You're not an idiot and I sure am glad you asked this question. Thanks for the question and the answer!

RE: Validating with Celtx

The first time I saved my Celtx script to PDF, it just didn't do it. There was no PDF file there. So I tried a second time, waiting a little longer, and there it was.
Celtx just didn't tell me whether saving it as a PDF was successful or not.
