Twice in the last 3 or 4 weeks, my PDF print driver has been removed from my computer.

First, is anyone else having this problem?

Second, what’s causing it? Is this something my IT department is doing, or is this an Adobe problem?

I’m running the repair app through Acrobat. It takes forever.

Hi,

I had this issue once or twice. And I also did a repair installation which fixed this. However, it did not take forever, only a few minutes. I did this only for Acrobat Pro, as far as remember. Did you do a repair installation for FrameMaker?

I do not know why this happened, but it seems that now and then people get this problem.

Best regards, Winfried

What version of FM are you running? Did you do any updates recently? There have been several reports of the Adobe PDF printer instance being removed.

Ooh! Good thought!

I’m running 17.0.5.725, and after the repair utility finishes, I will check for updates.

Thanks, Jeff!
