I am using OS 9.2 but I do not have a Acrobat PDF Writer, I do have a chooser and other than my regular printer I have Adobe PS Printer What happens is I am trying to take a 11 x 17 doc in PageMaker 7 and convert it to a PDF doc. I have perviously done this with the same doc and no problems. I can convert other docs, in PM and not have a single problem and this is where the problem exists. Don't know what else I can do. I need to convert so that I can email to the printing co. that does my printing. Any other suggestions?
