It often helps if you install a postscript printer driver first. We normally install an Apple Laserwriter PS printer to print to file. This is always handy if Acrobat is playing up and you need to create a = postscript file.

So I thought new computers > were fun!!!! It's an option on the FM installation CD. Even with FM 7 (which has a working "Save As PDF" capability), you still need Distiller. You also = need the corresponding PPD (Postscript Printer Definition, IIRC) -- also installable from the FM CD. You might like to check out the archives of the FrameMaker lists, at <http://lists.frameusers.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?visit=3Dframers>, for some details about the order of installation (including deleting old versions of Acrobat components).
