Feature Request - Print to File Warning

[Shmuel Wolfson]

It's much faster to print straight from FM then to make a PDF every time 
I want to print a page or two. Before I finish the doc, I change the 
printer to PDF, review the pagination and update the book.

I could try the Save as PDF option.

If you're using a very old version of FM or are still superstitious about using Save As PDF, simply select Adobe PDF as your printer and leave Print to File turned off. You'll be prompted to choose a file name and location, and your PDF will be created directly by the same process as if you'd printed to a PostScript file and then distilled it.
