[BBLISA] Help with OS 9 (classic), Framemaker > PDF error

[Dean Anderson]

Does the file print if you attach a real printer?

I'd suggest contacting Adobe support, which owns Framemaker (I think) and
Distiller.  I never found distiller to be perfect in older versions, but
its been a while since I used it.  

Alternately, you might try uploading the postscript output to a linux box
and using ps2pdf. This same command might be available on the unix side of
OS 10, too, I don't know. But you might look for it.

Sorry, Hope that helps.
