Also, if you have multiple page sizes in the file, you have to print to file (*.ps), then distill. Admittedly, I am on FM 9, so if this has gone away in FM 11, I'd love to hear about it. Alison -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@list

Yep, I do save specific job option files. I think I was focusing (in error) on the SaveAs PDF option rather than the Print Book option you were describing. My mistake. Craig -Original Message- From: Combs, Richard [mailto:richard.co...@polycom.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 10:39 AM T

There are times when quite specific Distiller job options are required by clients who may be providing the resulting PDF to service bureaus, etc. This makes printing from .ps files more desirable than simple direct printing to PDF. Craig -Original Message- I strongly suggest that you re

I second that request! It's 45 steps to my office printer (one way) and very annoying indeed if I forgot to clear the print to file. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Shmuel Wolfson Sent: Tuesday, May

It's much faster to print straight from FM then to make a PDF every time I want to print a page or two. Before I finish the doc, I change the printer to PDF, review the pagination and update the book. I could try the Save as PDF option. Regards, Shmuel Wolfson 052-763-7133 On 28-May-13 5:39 PM
