Is there any free/inexpensive software for printing annotated games (including diagrams)? I have a few *.PGN files I would like to print.
I would appreciate to print my own annotated games in a "book like fashion".
TIA
You can see a sample of the results at http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/wulebgr/PDF/LeninDutch.pdf

Nice Stuff, Folks!
Did Chesscaptor produce the PDF or do I need some other stuff to create the *.PDF?
Of course, I can print them directly from word, too. I like pdf files because fewer people have trouble opening them, and they require less storage space. Thus, they are better for webpages and email.

I downloaded the Chess Captor Demo but all the Good Stuff seem to be blocked in the demo. I would like to get a nice document/file from an annotated PGN-file with diagrams over seleted positions.
Is that within the functionallity of the software? Is it possible to control the "design" of the list of moves in the output file?

Originally posted by sydsadI only use it to create the diagrams, which I then import into my word processing program. Within it, I can put the diagrams anywhere that I want. It is designed as a pgn reader, but not a pgn editor or printer.

When I want a complete game score with diagrams, I generally print directly from ChessBase. Chess INformant Expert's article feature also works, although it takes more effort. It is worth the effort when I want the CI symbols and style.
