Ken,

The "PDF Creation Add-on" that ships with FM is effectively a crippled
version of Distiller. So if you already have Acrobat 9, just skip that
part.

Sometimes the newer FM installation doesn't always register the
pre-existing Acrobat installation and this messes up the Save As PDF
facility. Try running the Acrobat "Help > Repair Acrobat Installation"
option to get FM to properly see the Adobe PDF printer instance.

With FM9, doing a Save As PDF now allows you to preserve CMYK and spot
colours in the resulting PDF, which you won't be able to do by
printing to the AdobePDF and distilling. (However, this also results
in a more bloated PDF, as all of the linking, bookmarking, etc. also
get turned on, which are useless for print production jobs.)
