Hi Jacob,
AFAIK, that's what goes on behind the scenes. FM doesn't support all of
the PDF (imaging) functionality, such as live transparency, and still
outputs via an outdated postscript printer model (i.e. the Adobe PDF
printer instance). It has to first flatten the content to be able to
output the postscript. This is also why it was so difficult to get the
CMYK PDFs to work properly. So, for now, EPS is still at the heart of FM.
Adobe may discourage, but, until they put the resources into FM to
directly create PDFs (like all of the other Creative apps), proper EPS
will be the safest and fastest route to a PDF output. ;-)
Regards,
Arnis

Hi Arnis,
Is it really true that FM makes an internal PDF-> EPS conversion?
If "true" that’s very interesting. As to my knowledge Adobe unceasingly
discourage the use of EPS when PDF is available because the PostScript
imaging model can't render a quite substantial amount of PDF objects
correctly :-)
