Andy,

Unfortunately I am locked into Distiller for creating the PDF.

|Hi Joe
|This crops up regularly on the list. If you search the archives on PDF
|you'll find a bunch of hits with lots of advice. And I'd suggest you rename
|this thread to put PDF in it somewhere because there are solutions to
|creating a PDF which don't involve changing printers, basically by using
|3rd-party products to do so, and other listers who know about those
products
|may not spot the thread otherwise.
