Response from Adobe - Print to .PS issue - Cause and solution

[Scott Prentice]

I wish that Adobe would do away with this structured/unstructured switch 
.. I think it causes more confusion than it does any good. All it does 
is remove the "StructureTools" and "Element" menus and a handful of UI 
elements from the structured interface. I think it would be better to 
provide an easy way to hide/show the menus of your choosing rather than 
using this "mode" switching.

It's perfectly safe to work on unstructured documents when the 
structured mode is enabled, and allows you to work on all types of 
documents.

Also, if there was just one mode, it would make testing much easier .. 
I'd think.

Cheers,

...scott
