Hallo:

With FrameMaker 5.5.x and 6, you don't need to buy Acrobat to make PDFs. (If
you have MS Word, you do need to buy Acrobat for this purpose.) Also, while
I would never send application files to a print shop, true, most pre-press
departments don't have FrameMaker. However, I have always sent PostScript
print files, created to the print shop's specs. This should work as well as
sending a PDF. (And, if you care, you can make a PDF from the PS file to
visually check it . . . though I always checked blues. After the initial
interaction, there are rarely surprises from a print vendor if your methods
remain constant.)

Cheers,

Sean
