Problem Creating Postscript File with FrameMaker 7.2

> I can only test uninstalling and installing either Acrobat 6 Professional or Distiller 7 when my IT person comes back.

Right. Hence the holding pattern. Acrobat 6 ought work, though I'd test both ways. Make sure you uninstall all Acrobat components.

I can only test uninstalling and installing either Acrobat 6 Professional or Distiller 7 when my IT person comes back. Upgrading to Acrobat 7 Professional, will be out the the question the last I heard. (We are talking about a few hundred computers using it for editing and writing comments in pdf files).

Sean- the $99 was a correction to what only Art said (not the original poster) to 1_adobe "could pretty easily resolve the situation by upgrading your full Acrobat 6 install to Acrobat 7 Pro. It's something like $99 or so, I recall."

I'm not in the market either, since we all have registered copies.

I think the holding patern is 1_adobe's source for Distiller 7, that individual has been available.

Question to 1_adobe-- Do/did you use Acrobat 6 for anything other the Distiller? Once you delete Acrobat 6 and install Distiller 7, and we all hope that solves your problem, what are you going to do to get Acrobat installed if needed?

>Any suggestions where you can get a legal copy for $99?

Not really, I'm not in the market, I suggest you find a good reliable and knowledgeable reseller. I don't think finding a legal copy for $99 is what the original poster is asking about. You might begin by reading a copy of the license agreement and by shopping around on the Web.

As for the actual problem at hand, as I understand it, we are actually in a holding pattern while 1adobe_user gets all versions of Acrobat removed from his computer and then has only one version of Acrobat reinstalled.

I suggested that installing Distiller 7 and not installing Acrobat 6 might be a good test, and I also suggested that Acrobat 6 should work with FrameMaker 7. I further suggested that Adobe Reader 7 should not be installed on the same PC as Acrobat 6.

That's where we are, I think the ball is in 1adobe's court.

Cheers,

Sean

Yes "Pro" is "Professional", good catch. Any suggestions where you can get a legal copy for $99?

Is this thread really still going on? Really?

1adobe_user, have you resolved your issue?

>Acrobat 7 comes in three versions (1) Professional, (2)Standard and (3) Elements, sorry the Pro is no longer an option.

"Pro" is short for "Professional." So, if "Professional is an option," then "Pro" is an option.

Art_1adobe has Acrobat 6 pro, not Acroobat 6.

Acrobat 7 comes in three versions (1) Professional, (2)Standard and (3) Elements, sorry the Pro is no longer an option.

An upgrade to:

Professional is $159 and full version is $449.00
Standard is $99.00 and full version is $299.00

1adobe,

You could pretty easily resolve the situation by upgrading your full Acrobat 6 install to Acrobat 7 Pro. It's something like $99 or so, I recall.

However, if everything is set up properly, you shouldn't have a problem using Acrobat 6 to generate .pdf files; I think the issue is that your system seems not to be configured as it should be.

Cheers,
Art

Suggest EVERYONE re-read the "install" readme file for FM 7.2:

"IT is recommended that you use Distiller 7.0 for optimal PDF creation from FrameMaker 7.2.

NOTE: If you have the full verson of Acrobat 6.0 installed you can continue to use the Distiller function installed with Version 6.0, or you can choose Yes to install Distiller 7. Be aware that in order to install the newer version, you will be prompted to uninstall the previous version, which will completlty remove the Acrobat 6.0 program files and folder from your system."
