I couldn't tell you why, but I don't really trust making a PDF this way, so I would extract just the cover page from the "Save As PDF" file, and replace the cover in a PDF I made by distilling a .ps. If this happened to you out of the blue, Robert's probably right and you'll have to uninstall and reinstall to fix it. The "Save As" might do for now though, if you're in a pinch. Can I tack on a related question? Am I right in not fully trusting a PDF made by "Save As"? Or do I just have deep-seated psychological issues? ;-) Thanks for letting me glom onto your question Tammy!

The graphic is a PDF with bleeding edges that is imported into an anchored frame on the first page of the two page file. For like a gazillion years, I have been able to print the entire book, including the FrontCover.fm file, to a postscript file, and then distill this file to produce a PDF using just the Standard print job option. Now, all of a sudden - blam. . . when the print job starts, it gets stuck on the FrontCover.fm file and goes nowhere. It just spins and spins and I eventually have to kill the process. As I am using the Standard print job, I haven't changed a single setting and I am at a loss to understand why this has happened/what has happened. Of course, removing the Front cover file resolves the issue, but that isn't an option . .. this has to be part of the final PDF production. Any and all thoughts are appreciated, including any settings that you could recommend providing.
