2006-07-25 Thread Pat Christenson
Hi all - I'm using FrameMaker 7.0 with Acrobat 7 on Windows. When I use Save as PDF, FrameMaker lists only the standard job options (Press Quality, Smallest Size, etc.), not any of the custom job options I've loaded in Distiller. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks. Pat
