I know you said you have all updates installed, but it'd be good if you double-checked for both FM and Acrobat. Also, are you running a full version of Acrobat, or the limited version installed by Frame?
Then, because you're running under XP, have you installed the Microsoft hotfix for PostScript printers? Pretty much mandatory if you haven't -- it fixes a host of problems. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909 -- it applies to all PS printers, including the logical PDF. Assuming you have the Acrobat logical printer installed properly, there isn't a reason NOT to print to PS and then distill manually, although if you're printing to the logical printer (not using SaveAs), the result should be the same. (Uh, you're not using SaveAs to create the PDF, are you?) Art Art Campbell [email protected] "...
