RE: Can you print to PDF with FrameMaker 7?

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Terry,

Nothing will prevent you from using the "old" method and nothing
has been disabled, although I believe that when users of 
FrameMaker 7 see how well the new "save as PDF" works, they won't
want to use the "old" method anymore.
