What is the optimum way to generate PDF?

[Art Campbell]

Uh, why do you think you need to print to a PS file and distill manually?
If you print to a PDF printer instance, it performs the exact same
procedure, but does it transparently and automatically.

I have automated the process using Framescript. Now I do not have the time to update the script because of my tight schedule. Besides the script includes other process as well.

I was using Acrobat 7.0 at the time and I saw no incompatibility or other issues on my system after upgrading to Office 2007. But the following week I did upgrade to Acrobat 9.0 Pro anyway to maintain parity with my peers and because the cost of the upgrade was automatically pre-approved due to the alleged incompatibility..
