Question

Roaming Profiles, FM9 and Acrobat Professional (9 and X) - Useful Info maybe to others

Just thought I would post this bit of information, which took me a long time to figure out and I still don't know why it happens.

Basically

  • Using FM9 (although have FM10 installed but cannot convert at the moment...not to mention...sigh...that a distributor sold that to us knowing that FM11 was about to be released!!!!!!!!!)
  • Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit
  • Recently upgraded to Acrobat Professional X (although the same problem happened with Acrobat Pro 9).
  • Could not get FM to publish to PDF (that is, print to PDF). I could distill, but then I did not get the bookmarks I needed (I tried to find an easy answer to that question, but that was a dead end involving programming).
  • I have spent too much time on this issue
  • A while ago, I found that by disabling a roaming profile, or deleting the files in the Adobe folder in a roaming profile, seems to fix whatever problem the PDF printer was having generating a PDF.

Thought I would pass that on in case someone else find it useful.

If you need to go the Distiller route via FM and need Bookmarks, then you must have the "Generate Acrobat Data" option enbaled in the Print panel. No programming required...

Ok so it goes like this.

Just to let you know before i tell you the steps,Framemaker 9 is not compatible on Win 7 64 bit,however you can give it a try.

This happens when you install acrobat suite because it comes with a distiller and when you install acrobat it overrides the pdf creation capability of Framemaker .

Workaround:--

1)In control panel-->printer and faxes,Add Adobe PDF as a printer ,if its already there,make it as a default printer

2)If the 1st step do not works,then you have to reinstall Framemaker 9 .

Let me know if that works for you.
