Re: fmbatch post script print problem

You should consider MicroType's SP TimeSavers. You can embed the information
you need right in the FrameMaker file. When the file is distilled,
TimeSavers converts the embedded information into the corresponding PDF
feature. Since TimeSavers is an addon to Distiller, it should work with
UNIX, as well as PC and Mac.
