problem:
I am working on a book using Pagemaker 6.5 and need to make a PDF for an online self publishing company. When I try to export to PDF, I get a message from Adobe Distiller 3.0 that says I must install a post script printer driver. Should I install the Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer 1.0.6 ?? The info page for the driver says that this driver is not for non post script printers (my printer is non post script according to the manual). But I am not trying to print, just produce a PDF.

Here's what I have come up with:
I will use acrobat.com to produce the pdf online. But it requires a .ps file. How to get this?

I could get a newer version of Acrobat/pagemaker but don't want to spend the money yet since we are considering switching platforms. Oh, and the new version of Acrobat won't even fit on the old PC.

I am trying to limp my old computer/programs along until this project is finished. I realize I am in over my head. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Siri
