Re: PDF works via Frame, but not straight through Distiller

[Jay Smith <jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Erin,

1) "Save as PDF" has never really worked.  Period.  It does not matter,
in this case, how they differ.  It simply does not work most of the
time.  Such is life.

2) The problem is in your statement "Don't know the driver--I'll have to
check
 with sys admin".  THE DEVIL IS IN THE DRIVER.

In order for this to work, you MUST use the "Distiller driver".  This is
sometimes named differently on different systems... On *MY*
installation, it is called Distiller Assistant.  You *HAVE TO* select
the "Distiller driver" for this to work.  You do this by "printing to a
virtual printer" called something like "Distiller Assistant".  You do
this my selecting this as your "printer" just like you would select the
printer in your office or the big one down the hall.
