[Framers] Longtime Frame File suddenly cannot be printed to postscript for PDF production

I think I would try redistilling the pdf using your current diver. So, 
printing it to ps -> pdf or directly to pdf. Then reimport it and try again.

I can't remember what version of FM you are running, but the newer 
versions have pretty good save to pdf functions now. What happens if you 
save directly to pdf?

Good luck
Alan
