PDF Page Size Issues

[Lin Surasky]

Hi there-

1. Couldn't reproduce elsewhere, nor can I reproduce in FM now!
2. I was creating a PS file using the Adobe PDF printer driver and
distilling.
3. Didn't have to re-boot. It "fixed itself." 

I did get an email from Penelope Perkins (thanks, Penelope!) who said
she searched her personal archives and found a message from you on this
that said to "check the dpi setting for the Distiller printer instance.
It should be no higher than 600 dpi and, in some cases, you may have to
set it to 300 dpi to work around this bug." 

I'm wondering if I inadvertently clicked a higher DPI setting when I was
poking around for my coworker, and then it "fixed itself" when I didn't
save the change? I'm sure it was some goofy user error, as that's
usually what happens when the computer is "magically" doing something
you swear you never told it to do.

At any rate, I managed to get the PDF out, and I'll research this
further if I can ever reproduce the error.

Thanks muchly!
-Lin
