More to the point, once you have installed the headless PDF distiller that comes with FrameMaker, trying to uninstall it is likely to clobber any installation of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro because the uninstall script would be unaware of the existence of those tools and the fact that they depend on some of the same components that the FrameMaker installaller put on your system. It may be that if you try to uninstall the headless tool, you'll wind up having to reinstall Acrobat. This is why it is so important to opt out of the part of the FM installation that installs the headless distiller.
It might be the case that the FrameMaker installer has been made more intelligent in recent versions of Frame so that it actually checks for an existing Acrobat installation (I'm still back on FM9 for several reasons si I don't know about newer installations...), but I wouldn't count on it. -Fred Ridder From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Problem with playing video clips in FM 12 document viewed in Adobe Reader 11 Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:22:31 +0000 The standalone instance of FM has been known to not be very observant of the existence of the full Acrobat Pro version already installed – so if you don’t turn that part off, the installer clobbers your full version with the “headless” one. Regarding round-tripping review PDFs – make sure that you are all patched up in FM – I think there were some issues with the first release of FM12. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: November-18-14 7:40 AM To: Jeff Coatsworth Subject: RE: Problem with playing video clips in FM 12 document viewed in Adobe Reader 11 Thanks, Jeff. Can you tell me how it can ditch the pdf plug-in from FM12? Once that's done, if I understand correctly, I would then print to Adobe PDF making sure that it is a tagged pdf. Reviewers then would make their edits and comments in the pdf, which I then import into the FM12 document. However, when I just tried this, all of the edits/comments came in "misplaced". What would cause edits and comments to be misplaced?

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: November-17-14 8:00 AM To: Jeff Coatsworth Subject: RE: Problem with playing video clips in FM 12 document viewed in Adobe Reader 11 OK, I'm a little confused here. First, I'm not sure what you mean by using a virtual machine. Second, one of the attractive features of FM12 is the "save as review PDF" feature. Is is possible to unload the PDF plug-in and still keep this feature?

I'm sure this is true, Mike, but it's ultra-dumb: many folks *need* Acrobat Pro as well as Reader and FrameMaker. Are we supposed to buy an extra computer?
