For the first time today, I tried using Adobe PageMaker 6.5 Plus (for Mac)
to export a file to PDF format. I wanted to do this so I could share the
final product with a variety of computer users via Acrobat Reader.

When I went to use the Export command, I received a warning message:

"Exporting to a PDF file requires a Postscript printer driver. Please
install one."

(1: Will Apple's LaserWriter 8 driver solves this? I currently use an HP
DeskJet 870cse, and have all of my non-DeskJet drivers turned off. Is there
some INIT I should re-activiate?

(2: I remember installing PPD's when I installed PageMaker Plus. I also
remember installing a Postscript driver of some kind when I installed Adobe
Type Manager 4.5 Deluxe. Is there something here I should go back and
re-install?

(3: Is there any third-party Postscript emulation (StyleScript?) I should
buy to better facilitate this in the future?
