FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine
Good morning all, I am hoping to add Adobe Acrobat to my FM 12 installation soon. I was just wondering about best practice regarding this. I assume it is recommended to use Acrobat rather than say a cheaper PDF editor , like Foxit? Also, could someone explain what happens when Acrobat is co-installed, in terms of any effect on the normal PDF creation within FM? Do I need to be aware of any issues?

Re: FM12: PDF file size exploding
Lin, As far as I recall, modern versions of Adobe Reader autogenerate the PDF bookmark pane and thumbnails on the fly if you ask them to, so if megabytes are really that tight for you, you could probably ditch them anyway?

RE: FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine
When FM is installed standalone, a headless PDF Creator version is installed to be able to generate PDFs out of FM. This can sometimes clobber existing installs of Acrobat. Adding it after the fact should replace the headless version, but if it fails, then uninstalling everything, installing Acrobat first and then installing FM next (mindful of the setting to stop the PDF Creator from installing) should get you up and running.

Re: FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine
Jeff is right-on, as far as I'm concerned. Definitely install Acrobat before installing FM (making sure to not install the FM PDF creation thingy on top of your existing Acrobat installation). My own question is if my company should bump up to FM 12 from FM 11 if our deliverables are only pdf files. That's it -- my company is just not concerned with html, etc. Plus, at $1,000 a pop, Adobe isn't too concerned with pricing itself out of reach of more potential customers. What are the differences between the two versions that we should make the move? -- Ken in Atlanta Sent from my iPhone On Feb 20, 2015, at 9:08 AM, Jeff Coatsworth jeff.coatswo...@jonasclub.com wrote: When FM is installed standalone, a “headless” PDF Creator version is installed to be able to generate PDFs out of FM.

WAS: FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine
Well, one of the main things I’m looking for in going from FM11 to FM12 is the fix for the fatal crashes that I get from using the scroll wheel on my mouse in conjunction with the xrefs panel. That’s #1 for me – I usually blow up once a day with that one. The second feature that I’m looking forward to is the “remember where everything was left” feature that allows you to exit out of FM and then pick up right where you left off when you start it back up again – I usually have 4 or 5 docs open at one time remembering where I left off from the prior week gets really challenging.

RE: FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine
It's only $400 a pop to upgrade from FM11 to FM12, isn't it? And if your $1000 estimate includes an upgrade for Acrobat, then you might as well just go on and pop the $1200 to upgrade to TCS 5, getting Acrobat and a lot more. (Actually, you can get TCS5 for $1200 upgrading from as far back as FM7).
