The program's "About" button says Email: info@xxxxxxxx

Although the user-interface isn't ideal, the program works pretty simply.
You first need to have, in your XyWrite printer table (in Settings.dfl)
POST47.PRN. I have mine set to LPT4 (which is more or less mythical).
Then you take a regular XyWrite file, do a TYF with your printer set to use
POST47.PRN. This will create FO.PS (or you can give it some other name, as
long as it ends in .PS).
In PDF-CREATOR, you choose the CREATE PDF FILE tab, hit the ADD FILES
button, navigate in the resulting dialogue box to FO.PS and click on it.
That should make it appear in the SOURCE FILE(S) on PDF-CREATOR.
Then you enter in (next to "Destination file:) the name, ending in .pdf,
for the output file, and hit the GO! button.

That's it.
