Hmm. What I was trying to do was create a seminar invitation that could be viewed on my company's website. I originally created a .PDF file by choosing "File" / "Export" / "Adobe PDF", then just pushing the "Export" button. She told me this was not "web-friendly", i.e., difficult to view (the fonts were all "jagged").

She then gave me the advice about the PostScript driver.

I did try her advice as far as I could, but when I went to the print dialog box, the closest PPD I already had was "Acrobat Distiller 2017.801". I did not have this "Acrobat PostScript" she mentioned, so I figured it was just something you download from Adobe's site.

So you're telling me this IS the right PPD to use? I actually did try it to see what would happen, and it did export the file and the file looked great when I viewed it in Acrobat. However, the fonts were substituted fonts, not the originals. I assumed it was because I did not have this "postscript driver".

Perhaps it is something else?
