Hopefully a graphics whiz can help me with this. Using pagemaker 7, and Acrobat Distiller 5, everytime I try to export a pagemaker file to a pdf, I get this message:

From Font Capture Window

There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk.

I’ve read the readme file about unchecking the option “Do not embed Fonts”, and it isn’t checked, so I’m stumped. I’m at work now, and I can create PDF’s fine at home with Pagemaker 7 and Distiller 3, but I can’t create them here at work with PM 7 and Distiller 5. Anyone got any ideas?

Oh - it starts with Warning: the Acrobat Printer style does not use the Postscript driver. This will be overridden.

Thanks again. I can’t afford to pull out any more hair over this.
