[HM] Saving as pdf

[Tom Burton]

Do you have the ***full*** version of Adobe Acrobat (i.e., the one 
you pay for!)? If so, it includes the Acrobat Distiller.

 From ANY application (including AW6), select File > Print. In the 
upper right hand of the dialog box is an item labeled Destination. It 
will say Printer. Select File instead. In the middle menu, (where it 
probably says "General") scroll down to Save As File.

Now you've got a couple of choices.

1. Tell it to "print" to a PostScript file. It will create a file 
with a suffix .ps  Then drag that PostScript file onto the Acrobat 
Distiller icon, and it will produce an Acrobat file, with the ".pdf" 
suffix.

2. Tell it to "print" to an Adobe Acrobat file. (In the next dialog 
box that comes up, I generally leave everything as-is except I 
un-check the option to downsample graphics to 72dpi.) This will 
create the ".pdf" file in one step.
