Hello Art,
well, I do not see any disadvantages in using the "save as pdf" option. Quite the contrary: The resulting PDF will by default have exactly the same page size as the Frame file. This is very helpful if you're switching much between different and unusual formats. And the best is: "Saving" the PDF will be about 10 times faster than writing a postscript file. I am often producing postscript files with 1 GB or more - instead of half an hour this only takes a few minutes. Best regards Tino H.

It has always used an arcane interface that, when it works, uses a totally different method of specking and creating the PDF file than printing to the Acrobat logical printer instance. It is much improved in the 11 release, but I still haven't gotten into the habit of using it at all. > > I follow the KISS principle and just print to the Acrobat printer.
