Baffled by Frame + Acrobat 4.0.5

[Ed Treijs <etreijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi;

I recently installed Acrobat 4.0.5 on my NT system.  We are using Frame 5.5.6, and were hoping to overcome some font embedding mysteries when using Distiller 3.02.

I never had a "Distiller" printer before (nor any clue how to install), but one appeared during my upgrade.

Unfortunately, when printing to Distiller, I can't generate Acrobat data (bookmarks, etc).  Distiller says:

Start Time: Tuesday, April 25, 2000 at 11:30 AM
Destination: H:\course\mapping2.distiller.pdf
Source: mapping2.distiller.ps
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: FmPD2 ]%%

Stack:

/Creator
-mark-


%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Distill Time: 2 seconds (00:00:02)
**** End of Job ****

If I turn off "Generate Acrobat Data" in the Frame Print dialog, the PDF generates.

If I use the HP printer, then I can generate PDF just fine with or without Acrobat data.

I have downloaded the AdobePS 5.1.2 driver, but the only PPD file I have to install it with is a Distiller 3.0 PPD I also downloaded.  I don't see any other suitable PPD drivers on the Adobe Web site.  I can't find any reasonable-looking files on my hard drives.  And there's no %$#@! documentation that I can find to detail any of this.

The lack of information from Adobe is really frustrating.  The "Acrobat PDF Bible", which we purchased, doesn't go into the setup details either. Right now, I feel like explicitly embedding every dag-nabbit font, saving as PDF while using the HP driver, and live with the results.

Also, the font selection is different between the Distiller printer and the HP.  This impacts our template design, if we have to change every instance of Helvetica to Arial.

Any suggestions?  Anything I'm overlooking?
