RE: Acrobatlateral thinking : Implement simultaneous multiple releases [was RE: Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0]

FWIW, what you say should work for Acrobat does work for me now. I have been using this approach for a number of years without any apparent problem. I keep hearing that others have problems, but I have no idea specifically what they are--and in any case, I apparently do not. Is it possible that

I don't think you're going to find any usability studies on this because each site's needs are going to very too much to be studied. Why not keep the book as you have it and do a separate-from-the-book chart in landscape mode for your internal customers? Two docs, two audiences Art On

Frame on PC = upgrade the Graphics Card?

Hello all, Has anyone noticeably improved the rate at which graphics are loaded in Frame while running on a PC when they upgraded their graphics card? We are considering doing so here, and I suspect it will make a vast improvement. Our PCs are pretty current. I don't want to get lost in the

RE: Frame on PC = upgrade the Graphics Card?

Yes, the graphics are on a server, but we haven't ever noticed any slow data rates in the past. We can't move the graphics to our local machines and we can't move Frame to the server, so we are stuck with this configuration. The only delays come the first time a graphic is loaded. After I've

RE: Frame on PC = upgrade the Graphics Card?

Rendering for the screen is not the bottleneck. Downloading an image and/or rendering it internally are *far* slower than the on-screen rendering. A high-powered graphics card only makes an improvement for things like PhotoShop, 3D rendering applications (e.g. CAD), and gaming where millions of

My experience is that for FrameMaker, the graphics card is of relatively low significane for performance issues. I would endorse Richard's suggestions wrt/ memory and disk. A full boat of real memory and high speed disk (at least 7200 RPM if not higher) will make the most difference for long,

Further update ... If you are access data from a server, make sure that the server likewise is amply endowed with memory and high speed disk. Furthermore, if you don't have it already, gigabit Ethernet can make a tremendous difference in this application (even over 100BaseT 100 megabit Ethernet)!
