Hi everyone,

Using FM8.0p277 Vista.
I really hate to beat up on a topic. I posted a message that got no reply earlier & I'm not sure if that's because no one noticed the post or perhaps no one knows the reason...

I like the feature "Save As PDF" for the most part. I have a document that is about 80 pages and yesterday I created a PDF of it. I hadn't done so in a while and it took a whopping 45 minutes. In reviewing it, everything seemed to be there (no missing graphics or wierd text or anything). But as I was reviewing the PDF, I realized I needed to change a couple of figure titles. I did that this morning and updated my FM doc. (the TOC, LOF, etc); then regenerated a PDF of the exact same document using "Save As PDF" and it took only 3 minutes. (This is when I like "Save As PDF".)

A colleague of mine suggested that software like FM that allows multiple undos saves a lot in history (that may not even be visible in Edit>History anymore). He suggested that perhaps this affects the distilling process. Anyone?

I'm assuming "Save As PDF" is designed with the intent to simplify the process. I know it's an ongoing issue; just curious if this is an accurate assessment of why it behaves so differently from one time to the next.

Thanks,
Janice
