Back when Dov Isaacs was still active on the list, he used to call it Reinstallsheimer's Disease. He was never convinced that it did anything useful in at least 90% of the cases reported. But I suppose if you're in the right zen frame of mind it gives you some time to calm down while you watch

I always use Save As PDF. There were some older FrameMaker/Acrobat combinations where Adobe's Dov Isaacs recommended the Print PS/Distill approach, but that was a long time ago. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-366-4017 r...@frameexpert.com -Original Message- From: Framers

Hi - I always distill a .ps file but had a client with cover art that would only print using Frame's "Save As PDF". 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

I think I would try redistilling the pdf using your current diver. So, printing it to ps -> pdf or directly to pdf. Then reimport it and try again. I can't remember what version of FM you are running, but the newer versions have pretty good save to pdf functions now. What happens if you save
