[Flex] NSF FastLane & Acrobat Distiller

[Helen Gordon]

Dear everyone:
I have created a website with instructions for making sure you have the 
latest & greatest job options for Acrobat Distiller. By using this newer 
version of the job options with our current Acrobat Distiller, we should 
not have the printing problems we encountered in the last panel.

NSF has posted an announcement today that they can accept distiller 
files made with these job options even with Acrobat distiller versions 6 
& 7.  This leads us to believe that all our problems reported to NSF in 
February were listened to. We are hopeful the August panel will be less 
frustrating all around. We are not saying that people need Acrobat 6 or 
7 on their computers - our installed Acrobat 5 version is fine, but we 
are saying...

1. folks need to make sure to use this latest job option file with 
distiller on their computers
2. folks need to print to PDF using  file - print - select printer - 
acrobat distiller - properties-Fastlane  NOT the pretty little icon  on 
the toolbar!
