With the FM built-in support for interactive media, "Save as PDF" is
required if you want the "live" media in the PDF.

 

If you print to a .ps file and distill it, SWF/FLV/3D will not be
interactive in the PDF. 

 

Unrelated to interactive media, with FM8 or later "Save as PDF" works fine
and I use it as the standard way to produce PDFs from FM. There are highly
exceptional cases where "Save as PDF" fails (e.g. producing very small
pages), and then switching to PS+distill is the workaround.
