I recommend having the "leave color unchanged" option in Distiller settings. If your colors all end up as black and white, this is likely related to the PS driver being used to create the PS file and not to Distiller's settings. Make sure you use the AdobePS driver (with Acrobat 6 or 7, it shows up as "Adobe PDF" in the list of printers). [ Unrelated to colors, but related to Distiller 7.0x: if you have rounded rectangles in your FrameMaker documents, make sure that "Convert smooth lines to curves" (Advanced tab) is turned off, otherwise the rectangles are distorted -- see http://www.microtype.com/Hmmms.html#0512 ] Shlomo Perets MicroType, http://www.microtype.com * ToolbarPlus Express for FrameMaker FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants Template Design, Single Sourcing, FM-to-PDF & Technical Indexing seminars

New Distiller Settings
Hi all, Our IT department just upgraded the Acrobat Distiller on my PC to version 7.0 and now when I try to convert my Frame (v 6.0) documents to PDF, all of the colors in the document appear in black and white. I've already tried changing the Color Settings in Distiller, but I'm not having any luck. Can anyone give me some advice on fixing this problem?

Re: New Distiller Settings
Jennifer, You don't say how you are converting to PDF, but if you are printing to PS then distilling, make sure you use the Adobe PDF printer.

Re: New Distiller Settings
Hi Jeniffer, Here are some my methods of resolution of this problem: 1. I hope you have (a) Rendered the Standard or whichever .joboption file you use as a non-read-only file. Only then will you be able to save your settings for future and subsequent use without having to change them again. (b) Made your settings and then marked the joboptions file read-only again. Please search for this file if you cannot find it. However, I haven't needed to becasue when you press the save as button, the window pop-up allowing you to save this file is actually the windows explorer at the backend so it allows you to perform rt-click, properties, readonly checkbox. 2. The second resolution to this problem is more to do with Framemaker. Any version. By default, Framemaker to PDF conversion is done via a imaginary printer (port). The broker file maybe a prn file or essentially a postscript or .ps file. Now it is this ps file which can be read by Distiller to be rendered into a PDF. Okay now in english, You need to set the PDF Writer 7.0 or the Adobe PDF printer as your default printer in Framemaker. Do check up on http://www.leximation.com/ where u can look for a printer plugin which enables you to set this printer by default so evertime you invoke Adobe framemaker 7.0, this printer is set as your default printer. Once you have done this you may be able to Save As... PDF However, this feature is slightly unstable at times so it is advisable to simply print your PDF as a .PS or a .PRN file and then invoke this PRN /PS file into Distiller (accessible via Start button) and a simple drag drop into Distiller will render a PDF for you with the images. I hope this solves your problem. Please do inform me if this doesn't solve you problem.
