1. Re: Why/When should I use Distiller?
~graffiti Apr 20, 2010 2:02 PM (in response to DianeMarieDennis)If you are using the "print" function then you should have an "Adobe PDF Printer" in there to choose. You won't need to go to postscript first if you choose that. Distiller will run in the background and create your PDF.
The dropdown for "Save as PDF" is a Mac function that doesn't include Acrobat. It may be fine for some but doesn't have the controls like the PDF printer/distiller so it won't work for others.

2. Re: Why/When should I use Distiller?
DianeMarieDennis Apr 20, 2010 2:54 PM (in response to ~graffiti)Hi!
Thank you for your response. I went back to the thread but it says
³Possibly Answered² and I can¹t find a reply button so I¹m having to reply
by replying to this email...
The question isn¹t ³Possibly Answered² yet, although I do very much
appreciate your help. =)
When I use the print function, I get the following options in the ³PDF²
drop-down menu:
Save as PDF...
Save as PostScript...
Fax PDF...
Mail PDF
Save as PDF-X
Save PDF to iPhoto
Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder
Edit Menu...
However, I took a look at the ³Printer² drop-down menu and I have the
following options:
Adobe PDF 9.0
Epson Stylus C88
Epson Stylus C88 @ Diane¹s computer
Add Printer...
Printer and Fax Preferences...
Is that 'Adobe PDF 9.0' in the 'Printer' drop-down menu what you are
referring to when you say 'Adobe PDF Printer'?
Thank you very much!!
Diane

MichaelKazlow Apr 20, 2010 2:56 PM (in response to DianeMarieDennis)Yes the Adobe PDF 9.0 is what is being referred to. BTW, is there are reason you have not upgraded to 9.3.x. There are many fixes available at no cost.

DianeMarieDennis Apr 20, 2010 3:10 PM (in response to MichaelKazlow)Hi Michael!
Thank you for clearing that up for me! =)
About the update/upgrade...
The only reason I haven't is because I always have so many troubles with
updates/upgrades (not just with Adobe although I do remember one update with
Adobe in an earlier version caused me to have to uninstall the entire
program and then reinstall the "un"-updated version because the update
caused lots of problems for me).
I pretty much avoid updates/upgrades until I've found online enough people
no longer complaining about bugs in an update/upgrade (not that I often have
time to search that out hence I usually go for a while without
updating/upgrading)...
Do you know if there are any bugs in the updated version, and if so, have
they been fixed? I just shudder to think about going through all that
again, especially since my business is 100% based on selling PDF forms.
Thank you again Michael (and ~graffiti)!
Diane
