Re: Adobe writer

[David Billing]

Phil,   I just installed AA V5 as a new install.  I got both PDFWriter and PDF Distiller options in my printer list.  I'm using it out of MS Publisher and get the most accurate/look-alike files with the Distiller.   Dave Billing ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Nolette To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 9:29 PM Subject: RE: Adobe writer Alan, When you installed it, did it create a printer driver that allowed you to choose between the writer and the distiller? Sure would like to know.

I use Adobe writer a great deal.  I have Adobe Writer 4.0 at the consulting site and Adobe Writer 5.0 on my laptop.  I am de-installing 5.0 from my laptop and re-installing my 4.0 license.  Here are the resons why: 1.  5.0 has an enormous amount of overhead when it launces and runs.  The processing time is more than double. 2.  5.0 does not have the ability to print to the PDF writer instead it sends you to the distiller.  With 4.0 you can choose the writer without the distiller.   I know that it has more whistles and bells but when you are just trying to create a report to send to customers, or ftp it to a website, 4.0 is much faster.   These are my personal observations that I wanted to share with the list group.   Phil Nolette [EMAIL PROTECTED]
