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

[Fred Ridder]

Or printing directly to PDF using the Adobe PDF virtual printer, which is the method I've used for more than a decade.

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
