Along with Support Document 324684 (Recommended Printer Drivers for
Creating PDF from FrameMaker (Windows or Mac OS)), I can thoroughly
recommend these other documents:

Support Document 321408:
Recommended Settings for Creating PDF Files Using Acrobat Distiller
	http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/165de.htm

Support Document 319033:
Recommendations for High-End Settings in Acrobat Distiller 3.02
	http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/13136.htm

Support Document 319266:
How Acrobat Distiller and Acrobat PDFWriter Handle Fonts
	http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/12f6e.htm


In the past I've set the Distiller Job Options by reasoning what
'should work' based on 'how they look'. Don't do that. My 23 MB PDF
with some graphics that looked dreadful is now a 6 MB PDF with sharp-
looking graphics.


Off-topic: VirusScan users, beware of the 5.0 upgrade. I installed it
and had four crashes in one day (a lot even by Windows 98 standards).
I took it off, and no crashes since.
