Creating PDF Files 2

Use PDFwriter when

  • simplicity and speed matters most
  • you are in the ACCC public labs

Use Distiller when

  • you are using PDFmaker in MS Word 97/2000
  • you have already configured distiller's job options
  • quality graphics are needed, especially with .eps files
  • you need more control over the output
  • you want to simply convert an existing PostScript file

Use Distiller 3 on the Web when

  • you don't have access to the full Acrobat program
  • you are away from your computer, but have a PostScript printer driver installed on the system or can add one
  • you won't need to edit the PDF file afterwards
