ETKA images, while in a TIF or TIFF format are in a format proprietary to
LexCom, the software maker for ETKA and cannot be opened in the more
commonly used graphics software packages such as PaintshopPro, Corel,
Photoshop or Illustrator.  The only solution I found was using Adobe Acrobat
Professional (Version 4 or above - I use Version 6 myself) to convert them
to PDF. The PDF writer in Acrobat acts essentially as a printer in which the
"print" is saved by Acrobat as a PDF.

Print functions in early versions of ETKA (thru 5.3) were cantankerous at
best.  With ETKA 5.6 and above to the current Version 7, it operates much
more smoothly.  ETKA Version 7 note:  when printing illustrations in ETKA
Version 7, there are lightly seen horizontal lines generated in the
background, I guess as to prevent scanning and "legally" using the image.
This problem doesn't appear in prints/PDF's done with ETKA Versions 5.6 or 6
