Re: Error installing FM 7.1p116
Certainly not a problem if it works for you. With any method except the PS-to-PDF, I get blocks of missing text, usually beginning and ending where a font attribute changes. It'd be fatal if I didn't have the full Distiller version, but as long as I have a work-around Also, although I haven't checked lately, the two-step used to be the only method Dov Isaacs, Adobe's FM-to-PDF guru recommended.

Re: Error installing FM 7.1p116
Hi Art Have you dropped the Graphic Print Quality setting of your Distiller printer (in both places in the printer properties)? We had to drop ours to 300dpi to solve that problem, but it's been a permanent reliable fix. Cheers, Rebecca Art Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/03/06 04:05 Certainly not a problem if it works for you.

Re: Error installing FM 7.1p116
I've played with the setting a bit because one version of the bug was related to the default setting of 600 dpi. Haven't tried 300 exactly though, no. 499, 450, 400 ... 450 was actually working for a while, until the last automatic Acrobat upgrade. I'll give 300 a shot when I have a few minutes though.

Re: Error installing FM 7.1p116
Roger, before I did anything dramatic like taking off unrelated software First, it'd be good that you confirm that you're trying to install as a user with Admin privileges, and also that you're the same user who installed the first version. If there's anything unusual there, I'd try booting into protected mode and installing as the Administrator.

RE: Error installing FM 7.1p116
Hi Art Actually, uninstalling Distiller is recommended in the documentation for the p116 patch, so it doesn't come in the unrelated software category. And I do have Admin rights on this machine. Anyway, I spoke to Adobe, and after being passed around for 50 minutes the suggestion was (i) to re-boot with only MS services loading, or (ii) reinstall FM. The first option accomplished nothing, so there's a reinstall in my near future. FWIW, the reason why I'm keen to install this patch is because it fixes a tendency to crash when you Save As Adobe PDF or print to Distiller. I can assure anyone who's interested that this really does happen. 8^( Thanks for your help, anyway. sigh Roger -Original Message- From: Art Campbell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 3:54 PM To: Roger Shuttleworth; Framers (FrameMaker List) Subject: Re: Error installing FM 7.1p116 Roger, before I did anything dramatic like taking off unrelated software First, it'd be good that you confirm that you're trying to install as a user with Admin privileges, and also that you're the same user who installed the first version.
