Hi Lea:
This is only a guess because I am not familiar with Vista, but I would first
check what version of Acrobat Distiller is installed. I see you are running
Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0, but Framemaker 7.x requires Acrobat Distiller

fine with Acrobat 8. So I wouldn't touch that part, assuming it's
correctly installed and you have all patches. In fact, the installer
on the FM CD should refuse to let you install from the old FM disk
because a newer Distiller

We are still using unstructured FM but are developing structured templates

But your message gives me an idea. We can create two cover pages in FM, one

Hi Diane,
If you're unable to find a solution in Acrobat 3D and your documents are
structured, you can create a special master page for your front cover
and then apply it automatically based on a context label applied by your
EDD. We use this to apply a DRAFT watermark to our documents before

Yes, I know about the official incompatibility of Frame 7 with Vista. Until
my company is able to upgrade, I've managed to kludge along with what I have

Hi Brian,
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I have reservations about trying to
install Distiller 7 in the presence of Acrobat/Distiller 8. Thank you for

As long as you print to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver
instance to produce PDF, you should be OK. Don't attempt save as PDF
in such a configuration.

What kind of compatibility are you thinking of, Jo? With each other, or with
your existing documents, or perhaps your operating system?
