TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you are distilling a color document and it becomes black and white,
chances are you are using the wrong printer. You need to be using the
Distiller printer, created using the latest Adobe PostScript driver for your
OS plus the Distiller PPD. Go to the Adobe User to User forums, log on, and
checkout the FAQ section of the FrameMaker forum
(http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html).
Don't use PDF Writer with FrameMaker. PDF Writer uses a non-PostScript
process. FrameMaker includes Adobe Distiller, use that.
