Hello Framers, I will soon be converting my Mac Frame 7 documents to Frame 7 on the PC. My Mac is getting old and the organization wants the jobs on PC. My documents are both published (web-press) from high resolution PDFs and posted on the web as Web-ready PDFs. With no other help available to me, I am seeking advice from the Frameuser group.
Big issues: Operating system: Looks like I might be getting Genuine Windows XP Professional, SP2, with Media XPP2E. Will this system work with Frame 7.0 (already purchased)? Any known problems? Fonts: On the Mac I use only Adobe Postscript fonts (most often Helvetica family) and have never had any problems. What kind of fonts should I buy for the PC that will always be reliable and problem-free for printing and web? Font technology has changed since my Mac fonts were purchased and my knowledge is not up-to-date. Acrobat issues: I currently use Acrobat 5 on the Mac. Are there issues with newer Acrobat versions, and which version will work with Frame 7.0 on PC? Plug-ins: I don't have any plugs-ins or other helpful software and would like information about the most useful. I would like to make this transfer as smooth as possible and would greatly appreciate any help that you would like to share - even horror stories. Not wishing to clog up the Frame list, you may respond to my e-mail address on these issues. Please use the subject line Need Help Mac to PC. Thanks for helping.
