Adobe employees unequivocally recommend PostScript|Distiller as the most
reliable route to PDF, and the Distiller PPD as the only reliable driver
(it appears as Acrobat Distiller 3.0 in my Windows list of installed
printers). I have never had problems producing PostScript from FrameMaker
and have not had any duff PDFs since using the Distiller PPD.
