Final Draft 8 Demo

[Writer83]

I am an aspiring scriptwriter.

I am using Final Draft 8 Demo to write my scripts, as I cannot afford to

purchase the real Final Draft 8 or any older versions.

One of the informational tips in Final Draft 8 Demo states that it has all the functions as the real Final Draft 8, however you cannot save more than 15 pages as watermark will appear on printed pages.

Can I save multiple bundles of 15 pages? Or to be more specific-

If I have a script I want to write using Final Draft 8 Demo, and it is made up of 45 pages- can I divide it over 3 files (each of 15 pages, save and print them without having watermark on printouts?)


Second question: Can I copy the scripts saved in the Final Draft 8 Demo
onto the real Final Draft 8- is there an option for that?

PLEASE ADVICE! THANK YOU

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. Splitting a script across several demo files can get messy, and it's hard to keep formatting and page counts consistent. The good news is that you have more options today.

Final Draft offers a free trial and an education discount for students, and its .fdx files open in the full version. There are also free or low-cost screenwriting programs, such as WriterDuet and Fade In, that export to the Final Draft format and to PDF, which is what most contests and readers ask for. Our Screenwriting forum is a great place to ask which tool other writers prefer. Keep writing!
