Copy into document graphics vs. Import by Reference
If you keep the graphics in a separate folder within the folder that contains the FM file, the refereed file has a relative path. So if you want to pass it around, all you have to do is zip the entire folder including the graphics folder, and it should be fine on other people's computer. Of course have to be inserted after you place them in the subfolder. Regards, Shmuel Wolfson 052-763-7133
RE(~): Acrobat Pro 8.0 and FM 7.2
Actually, a "feature" of Acrobat 8 is that the directory in which the default .joboptions files are stored, "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings" is indeed protected against changes by the Acrobat 8 installer. Individual user .joboptions files are to be stored in unprotected directory "C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings" where "" is your Windows user id. - Dov > -Original Message- > From: Susan Modlin [mailto:smodlin at yahoo.com] > Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 6:37 PM > To: Dov Isaacs; framers at lists.frameusers.com > Subject: Re: Acrobat Pro 8.0 and FM 7.2 > > Thanks to all who responded.
