Hi All,
I'm thinking about upgrading to a 64 bit machine. I've had problems with FrameMaker and Acrobat on my 32 bit laptop ever since I moved "up" from Frame 8 and Windows XP. I'm running Windows 7 with 4 Gb RAM (3 Gb usable) on an Intel Core Duo @2 GHz; FrameMaker 9.0p255, Acrobat 9 Pro, and WebWorks ePublisher 2009.3. My current laptop is only 18 months old. Do Frame and Acrobat (and WebWorks) run any more reliably on a 64 bit machine? Faster? Will shelling out the bucks to upgrade to the latest releases make a difference in how well they run on 64 bits? On my current system, Frame tends to crash and needs to be restarted. Acrobat also crashes before (slowly) finishing large documents even after a reboot, although when you look for the PDF it's there and seems to look and work fine. Sometimes "Save as PDF" also crashes, but creating a .ps file by printing to the Adobe PDF printer and then distilling the ps file works. Various Windows software runs so slowly and is so crash-happy that 64 bits also seems needed to improve that as well. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience with me!
