>> When I check the "print to file" box, Frame does generate the .ps file, from which I am able to produce a PDF successfully (and it seems to be consistent). However, when the Adobe PDF printer is selected, this can be quite a bit slower (several minutes vs. less than 20 seconds) than when a physical printer is selected (although - I guess because the printer is monochrome - the resultant PDF loses all colour information). <<
If your PDF is coming out monochrome instead of color, one possible cause is if you have the Adobe PDF virtual printer set to use the wrong driver. Open the printer properties dialogue for Adobe PDF (Start Menu> Printers and Faxes, right-click on Adobe PDF), look on the Advanced tab, and see which driver is specified. It should be "Adobe PDF Converter." If you've got it set to use a different driver, such as a the Generic Postscript driver, this could be the cause of your problem. Mike Wickham
