Problem with framemaker 9 to pdf conversion

I have a Framemaker 9p255 book with a lot of equations. When I save the book as a pdf file some equations are not properly written. The left side of the equations are trimmed. The conversion was without problem with the previous version of Framemaker v8. I work with win7 pro 64.

    Rather than using SaveAs PDF, what happens when you do File > Print and select the Acrobat printer?

    (On the FM print dialog box, remember to check Generate Acrobat Data and DO NOT CHECK Print to File. )

    Art,

    On the subject of pdf's. I save as PDF because if I print to pdf...I could go home from work and I don't think it would ever make a pdf. But, even saving as pdf, it takes forever!! The longest section in my book is 236 pages. I have all the sections in different books instead of in one big huge file. When I save to a pdf, it takes about 30 minutes. Just seems that is crazy! Now, the pdf is awesome, and has the bookmarks and links, just don't know why it takes sooooo long. I realize this has been talked about alot in this forum. Just wondered if there was any new insight or if that is just the way it is.

    Thanks,

    I think speed of distillation is a different thread...but it shouldn't be taking as long as you imply it's taking. Certainly doesn't on my systems...

    But I'd start figuring why from the environment -- RAM, disk free spacee, OS, FM and Acrobat versions.

    And files on the network or local? Are all files open when you distill? Are graphics copied in or referenced? What job options are being used in Acrobat?
