ArchiCAD 8.1 in Leopard?

Does anyone know if 8.1 will work in Leopard? I have an old project that I would like to make PDF's of and I really don't feel like migrating it. I think it would be easier to just re-install 8.1. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Do you have an install disk to try it with? If so, let us know how it turns out! 😉

Its a PPC. Although I am about to scrap this computer (thanks faulty Temp. Sensor), so it looks like I might be PDF quite a few other things as well.

Well I fired up the Ol' 8.1 and it works like a champ in Leopard. If I run into any troubles though I will post them.

For what it is worth, I have AC7 and AC8.1 running frequently on Mac Intel. I've never had one issue...

Just keep in mind to backup your present (PPC) AC installation folders to copy on any Mac Intel. The software is fine, CD installation application isn't.
