I figured out how to do the above with the distiller this morning........

but this sounds like a MUCH better option, especially on an already
completed piece!

One question though - do you know if when you use the "Text Tool" option,
does that embed the ENTIRE font set (which can be pretty large), or just the
ones needed for what you actually highlighted?

Thanks,
