Hi, I recntly upgraded to windows 7 and installed framemaker 7 on it, together with distiller 5.0.5. Whe I try to save a document as .pdf, it says me, that it is missing an "Acrobat Distiller Printer Driver Instance". In fact, when I open the printer selection window, I can not select "Acrobat Distiller" as a printer, liek I could on my Windows Vista system. But I did the complete installation and restarted the machine after and it is still not working. Anything I can do to have that fixed? Thank you in advance for any hint.

    That's a very old and totally unsupported version of Distiller. Since you can't select the Distiller printer instance from the printer's window, it probably can't be installed in the current configuration of Win 7. Have you tried XP compatibility mode? Otherwise, it's time to consider either upgrading the application to match the operating system or creating a virtual machine running an older version of Windows (XP) and installing there.
