Re: save as pdf

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The issue about Save as PDF that hasn't been addressed is that Adobe has
been fully aware of its severe limitations for several years.

Yet:

1. The FrameMaker 5.5 brochure (PDF) on Adobe's website still states, on the
very first page:

        "You can also automatically generate Portable Document Format
        (PDF) files from within FrameMaker--complete with hypertext
        links--without first printing to an Adobe PostScript device."

2. Adobe's salespeople and VARs continue to hype this capability as
a major feature of version 5.5.

3. Nothing in the on-line help or the V5.5 user's manual describes the
severe limitations on the Save As PDF "feature".

4. Adobe has made no attempt to officially notify all registered license
holders about the Save As PDF problem, as well as many other issues, such as:

        a. The fact that the product comes with outdated versions of
        Distiller, Exchange, and Postscript Driver

        b. Many license holders did not receive the Type on Call CD, and
        the free fonts that can be obtained therefrom.
