Re: [Framers] Acrobat question
Thanks Art. No updates available. However, last night (Sunday), I spoke with my own local computer guru who I go to when all else has failed. After much discussion, he walked me through the procedure to disable spooling in Acrobat, which once more allows me to print a FrameMaker file to the Adobe PDF "printer" to get a postscript file. I ran "Repair Acrobat Installation" in the Help tab this morning like you advised, but don't know if doing that actually did anything because, as I said above, I had already disabled spooling. I still don't know how all of this happened in the first place. But thanks once more for the good advice. -- Ken in Atlanta On Monday, August 12, 2019, 9:57:59 AM EDT, Art Campbell wrote: First, see if there are any Acrobat updates pending.

Re: [Framers] Acrobat question
First, see if there are any Acrobat updates pending. (Help menu) And while you're on the tab, see if there's a Repair Installation, which I think would be less painful/risky than a reinstall.

[Framers] Acrobat question
Gang, I don't know how, but somehow my Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 got corrupted. This became evident on Saturday while I tried to create a postscript file from FrameMaker (version 10). My procedure: 1. Click on Print, then get the Print Document window. 2. Click on Setup and get the Print Setup window. 3. Use the drop-down arrow to select Adobe PDF as the printer, 4. Click on the Properties button open another window to check (or uncheck, I forgot which) a box so the viewer uses only the document fonts and not the fonts on the viewer's own computer. Now, an Adobe PDF Document Properties window appears that is different from what I usually see. For one thing, it lists Default Settings as the ones I use for a hard copy printer that I use to print a large science journal that I do. The drop-down arrow next to that choice lists no other option. There's more, but this is wrong. So my questions are: 1. Did Microsoft drop down another of the lousy updates that convoluted my version of Acrobat? I did a check and found no updates in the past week or so, and this occurent is just in the last few days. 2.Can I reinstall Acrobat on top of what I already have (complete with the serial number) safely with it being "accepted"? I know that when goofing around with FrameMaker, one must "deactivate" the current version before installing it again anywhere because you only get two legal installations (an office and a home computer), and I do NOT want to be forced into buying a subscription. -- Kenpo in Atlanta ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
