Is this with a new document as well, or only previously created documents?
What if you create a simple document and try and save that as PDF? Others
have reported a problem with creating PDF's from older documents which I am
still trying to track down, but I can't see why you can't create _any_ pdf!

Did you select a PDF printer device in the chooser? What happens? Does it
create blank pages, or crash, or??

I know that acrobat distiller can convert our PostScript output, but of
course that defeats the purpose of the Save to PDF option!

Welcome back, Deron. Smile

One reason to use distiller is that you can embed fonts into the PDF
file. I'm hoping for that option in PageStream4 as well.

A good selling point over Adobe's Pagemaker is that PGS can (or will
soon) create PDF files without the extra cost of buying Distiller.

And Distiller is not on all platforms.
