[G4] Creating PDF in PageMaker

[John Cappello]

PI have tried everything you suggested, same result.  Let me explain  
again.  I can create a PDF file with any other doc in PageMaker 7 in  
OS 9.2
using the same size doc it just won't let me do it with this one.  I  
get as far as exporting to PDF, Export and save and that's when it  
stops.  My computer doesn't freeze the Curser just sits there and the  
little window which should show what is going on stays blank.  Don't  
know if there is anything I have to change in the PDF options?
