I am trying to export a Pagemaker file to HTML and having no luck. A friend emailed me this advice:

"The secret to creating the web friendly pdf format is to first save the pagemaker file as a post script file (File/Print/Options/Write PostScript to file) Choose a post script printer as your printer and Acrobat Post Script as your PPD. Then you open the file in Acrobat Distiller and change your Job Options to Screen Optimized. Open the file and hit open/save (name the file) and it creates a pdf file."

Okay, I've got a post script printer but I don't have Acrobat Post Script as my PPD. So I went online here to try to find it and am totally lost. I see you can download PPD's to various printers, but she seems to be saying Acrobat has its own PPD?

By the way, I'm operating in Windows NT, with Acrobat 5.0 and Pagemaker 6.5. Any advice?
