ok, there are two ways of making a PostScript file from Indesign:

1. file > print > setup (button at bottom of dialogue), etc

2. set "postScript File" as the printer at the top of the print dialogue box

the first option is what i'm seeing a LOT of people do. and imho, its so archaic and long winded.

I personally prefer the simplicity of 2 as it is so straight forward.

BUT!...I'm noticing that there's a file size difference of 2mb for the same file exported in the different ways.

basically, what is the difference? and why not use the second method?

(vista x64 btw)
