Actually they're XML files with a custom schema. My guess is that it's 
using the Internet Explorer rendering engine to print them. Suffice it 
to say, this is a backup program. It has a button marked "print", and 
that's basically it. You have no control over formatting. I did, 
however, manage get it into PDF format.

(Print to a PostScript printer, send to file instead of the printer, use 
Ghostscript to convert PS to PDF. Yay, I have a working PDF file now.)

I stupidly assumed that since we have PDF editing software, it would be 
easy to, you know, edit the PDF file.
