You don't say which version of Distiller you are using... 3.02 is the
latest, available from Adobe's site. Did you copy your old system and
Acrobat software over to the new Mac, or did you reinstall things? If you
just copied things, you may want to try reinstalling FrameMaker and
Distiller, just to be safe.

You may also want to try allocating more RAM to FrameMaker and/or
Distiller (get info on each application, and increase the number in the
"Preferred Size" field).

There's nothing in the Adobe support database to indicate that there is a
general incompatability between Acrobat or FrameMaker and the G3 systems,
so you'll need to look locally for a fix. Look for extension conflicts
and memory issues first...

Not sure exactly what this means, but I'd suggest that perhaps insulting
a platform while requesting assistance for it is a little
counter-productive.

Hope this helps.
