FrameMaker 7.2 Compatiblity with Acrobat 9

[Art Campbell]

I think that you're mis-remembering. Acrobat simply sets up a logical
printer; there aren't any internal program dependencies.

On the Frame side though, the SaveAs PDF command won't not work
because the Acrobat file structure has changed, so FM doesn't know
where the Acrobat code is. But that's a minor problem.

Just Print to the Acrobat printer instance when you want to produce a
PDF, ignore SaveAs PDF, and you're good to go.

Do they have Word?  If so, use Mif2Go's Word RTF output,
and set it to turn on Track Changes.  That makes for a
very easy review process, and it works out of the box.
It's the main thing our customers use the RTF output for.

If you have Adobe Acrobat, another option is to produce a PDF file from
the Frame document, then use Acrobat to enable commenting in Adobe
Reader. You need one copy of Acrobat Pro, but the reviewers only need
the free reader.

FrameMaker 7.2 Compatiblity with Acrobat 9

[Fei Min Lorente]

Sorry for the re-question, but I simply can't find the old thread.
 
I remember someone recently asking about producing PDFs using Acrobat 9,
but they were still using FrameMaker 7.2. I think the answer was that
Acrobat 9 doesn't support FrameMaker 7.2, but that FM 7.2 might be able
to produce PDFs anyway, just not through Save As. Can someone please
refresh my memory?
 
I'm currently using FM 7.2 on Windows XP and Acrobat 6.0 Pro. I'm
thinking we have to upgrade Acrobat to 9 Pro because I have to do online
reviews that way. We are using FinalDraft, but now that the company has
forced us to use IE8, the reviewers are experiencing problems with
FinalDraft. Looks like it's time to move on.
 
Incidentally, if anyone has any other suggestions for doing online
reviews of FrameMaker documents that doesn't involve every reviewer
having a copy of FrameMaker, please let me know. We're okay buying the
software to produce an online-reviewable document, but don't want to
have to pay for the software for the reviewers.
 
Most of them are structured documents, so I could export to XML, if
that's any help.
