Wow - this thread has gotten wild...

Say, I have seen many issues with PDF with pre-FM 9. And now with FM 9, Save As PDF:

1. Works (well, kind of)
2. It may be slow, but I don't really care -- I want #1 (Works) to work!

I'm on Vista, just upgraded to FM 9 and in trying Save As PDF, I see:
1. Color rendering doesn't always work (just spot color, no CMYK)
2. Fonts get really messed up (some fonts do anyway)
3. It uses the similar Acrobat options (including presets!)

How do I know something is really amiss? Well, I created the exact same document (same layout, fonts, styles, ...) using InDesign and Save As PDF works flawlessly.

So, in trying the Print to PDF, I need a generic Postscript Printer. Does anyone know of one? The one on the Adobe site can't install on Vista SP1 (I had it somehow working on Vista Sp0 but not sure how).

Any additional threads you all can recommend?
