SaveAs PDF is an alternate route, not a shortcut.... It's been kind of problematic for several releases and uses its own settings. Some people have never had a problem with it, but I'm not one of them, and I think most people would do well to avoid it -- numerous bugs have been filed against it.
If a PS file is being created, that means that the PDF logical printer is working. So if it is working, why not just uncheck the Print To File checkbox on the FM print dialog box and let Distiller automatically create the PDF for you? No need for two steps. Juts make sure you have Generate Acrobat Data checked and PrintToFile unchecked, and it should just happen. Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
