Haven't had a reason to use my Acrobat in awhile but, as I recall, doesn't Distiller allow you to set the compatibility level? Can't you open it with Acrobat, set the distiller options to 1.2 and distill it? But, then, perhaps not. I have found Adobe's software to be totally dense and user-unfriendly, with support to match. Jerry ___________________________ Yes, Distiller does have a compatibility setting, thank you. But ... Distiller cannot open an already existing PDF file. Sigh ... Also agree about Acrobat density, right up there with lead.
