TimeSavers Plugin Settings

[quills at airmail.net]

You must change your printer instance to the Postscript printer, and 
then print your book to file. Your result will be a .ps (postscript) 
file. This is the file you will distill.

The Save as PDF option is the least reliable manner of making a PDF 
file. It's quick, but it doesn't allow the customization or control that 
going through the distiller has.
