RE: Cannot launch distiller to create PDF file
Just to verify, to print to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, I did the following: File - Print Setup - Name to Adobe PDF - OK Print This does not work. It appears to work on Frame's side (albeit still exceedingly slowly for some documents), but in the Adobe PDF printer queue, I get an error message the document failed to print. When I check the print to file box, Frame does generate the .ps file, from which I am able to produce a PDF successfully (and it seems to be consistent). However, when the Adobe PDF printer is selected, this can be quite a bit slower (several minutes vs. less than 20 seconds) than when a physical printer is selected (although - I guess because the printer is monochrome - the resultant PDF loses all colour information). So I think there's still something not quite right going on here.

If your PDF is coming out monochrome instead of color, one possible cause is if you have the Adobe PDF virtual printer set to use the wrong driver. Open the printer properties dialogue for Adobe PDF (Start Menu Printers and Faxes, right-click on Adobe PDF), look on the Advanced tab, and see which driver is specified. It should be Adobe PDF Converter. If you've got it set to use a different driver, such as a the Generic Postscript driver, this could be the cause of your problem.

RE: Cannot launch distiller to create PDF file
I have this problem but in my case it's consistent. After I've rebooted my computer, the first time I try to create a PDF from a file or book it doesn't work. If I immediately use save as again, it's fine.
