cannot generate PDF

[Heiko Haida]

Hello Art, 

well, I do not see any disadvantages in using the "save
as pdf" option. 

Quite the contrary: The resulting PDF will by default
have exactly the same page size as the Frame file. This is very helpful
if you're switching much between different and unusual formats. 

And
the best is: "Saving" the PDF will be about 10 times faster than writing
a postscript file. 

I am often producing postscript files with 1 GB or
more - instead of half an hour this only takes a few minutes. 

Best
regards 

Tino H. Haida

using it myself (still have to use it to debug for others) in the FM7
time frame because it was too buggy. It has always used an arcane
interface that, when it works, uses a totally different method of
specking and creating the PDF file than printing to the Acrobat logical
printer instance. It is much improved in the 11 release, but I still
haven't gotten into the habit of using it at all.

is if the SaveAs PDF isn't working for you, try printing to the Acrobat
printer instead; it's become a basic debugging step to determine if the
problem is in the output generation or in the files.
