Thanks. I don’t print to Postscript, why should I? I want PDF files.

 

I used to print Postscript files (back in the days when everyone was wearing a 
tie to work), then “distill” them to PDF (sounds like deliciously nostalgic 
terminology)… Should I still do that?

 

With best regards,

Hi Bertrand,

 

I do this regularly, and it works very well.

Could it be that you had not activated to print to a Postscript file?

 

Best regards

I haven't for a long time used the "Print separate file for each chapter" 
option for printing a book. I tried it again now but I have to wait for each 
chapter to print and display in Acrobat, then click OK to approve the file 
name for the next chapter (even though it's just <chaptername>.pdf in the 
chosen directory). 



This is utterly crazy! For a small book it took me a good 10 minutes of just 
waiting and clicking, but my next book is 40+ chapters! There are better 
things to do with one's life than waiting for the computer to condescend to 
letting you click predictable modal dialogs. 



There must be a "do this for me and tell me when you are done" option (as I 
think there was in older versions) but I didn't find it. Any help? 



Thanks,
