Re: Save as PDF vs Print to PS and then Distill

[Jay Smith <jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

There has been some discussion today of this subject -- it comes up every
couple of weeks.  I wish we (s/b Dov) could just develop an FAQ on it and
simply post the FAQ every 5 days.

It is my understand from "Dov the PS guru" at Adobe that Save as PDF and Print
to PS and Distill to PDF is very definately NOT the same thing.

Furthermore, most problems related to Printing to PDF relate to people trying
to print to the print driver of their normal physical printer rather than to
the Distiller "driver" (not really a driver, but a pipe to the Distiller
program).

I can imagine that Dov is tired of fighting this battle.  

I am NOT saying this to complain about "new users" -- Frame's interface is
really is misleading in this regard.  It is very normal and understandable
that "new users" would not know or easily see the proper way to Print to PS
and then Distill, without an in depth read of the manual -- and I am not even
sure it is there.
