Printing to PS and distilling to PDF question

[Art Campbell]

Rick,
You mention that the problem is with old files. Have you MIF-washed
them in FM9?
I've had similar minor problems with old files that I've opened in 9,
relying on the system conversion settings.
Because some of the printer settings are stored with the file, I'm
wondering if MIF-washing may help.
