The *only* way to ensure that your hard copies exactly match the 
PDFs you distribute is to print your hard copies *from*thePDFs*. 
Acrobat Distiller performs way too much processing on the 
PostScript for me to ever assume that its output will exactly
match its input. The only meaningful way to proof the PDF is 
to print the PDF itself. 

And if you're printing the PDF from Acrobat, you have no reason
not to use the proper device-independent Acrobat Distiller driver 
to generate the PostScript that you distill, to ensure that you really
have the most portable PDF possible.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
