Reply To: Output to PDF issue

Hi David,

I did try printing to postscript using the following methods after creating a generic postscript printer:

From InDesign – Via the print menu, selecting postscript file, device-independent;

From Acrobat – Via the print menu, (a little more tricky) selecting printer at the bottom of the print dialogue and after moving through a few menus, finally printing to postscript file.

Then I ran both files through Distiller.

Both of these methods create perfect pdf files, but have left the hidden unwanted content in the new pdf. If you drag the Section tool through the text, it picks up the hidden text as well as the current text, which, of course, isn’t good.

If the steps I’m using are wrong, I’d appreciate it if you would write up the steps you feel would work.
