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

[Fred Ridder]

Back when Dov Isaacs was still active on the list, he used to call it Reinstallsheimer's Disease. He was never convinced that it did anything useful in at least 90% of the cases reported. But I suppose if you're in the right zen frame of mind it gives you some time to calm down while you watch the progress indicator move ever so slowly...

More the latter, if you are referring to anything newer than version 9.
There was much discussion on the list some time ago about the relative
merits of either approach. I have been strong advocate of the ps->pdf
workflow but nowadays, I would promote the Save As... as providing a as
good a quality output.

Working on 2015 this week, I observed that Save As uses Distiller in any
case, so by doing it manually only takes time and adds no other value.
That was because the Adobe Acrobat license decided to screw itself up
and I needed to reinstall Acrobat and all the other CC apps I use.

huh, why do we need to reinstall this stuff all the time?

Cheers
Alan
