Hi Rob
I love the XML features of FM11, which was the real reason why I bought
it for use at home. At work I have a subscription for TCS4. I've
experienced some problems too:
FM11 takes forever to print to PDF, whatever method I use. Book files
that used to print in less than 10 minutes in FM9 now take 90 minutes;
but no crashes when printing to PDF. The performance is simply not
acceptable. I have experienced a couple of crashes; the most recent was
when comparing two documents (File > Utilities). FM just spun for two
hours, then quit without so much as a message box.
The other frustration is with Acrobat X Pro. My Adobe PDF printer
disappeared completely, and then Acrobat just stopped working altogether
- wouldn't start. After a reinstall it works OK, but the printer has
disappeared again since.
I'm hoping these issues will be addressed in a patch or two
