Re: Framemaker 9 vs Microsoft Word

Regarding Frame vs Word, let me explain how I use it: I'm a consultant whose vice is book writing. I've been writing books with unstructured Frame since version 4. I'm also obliged to use MS Word when writing reports for clients. Rather than list strong points of each, let me list weak

Is it possible to Save As PDF from FrameMaker 9 using Acrobat 7 on Windows7?

Hi, We have recently upgraded to Windows7, 64-bit, and were also able to upgrade to FrameMaker9. We have not yet committed to upgrading our Acrobat 7 licenses (bundled with CS2; to upgrade that is ~$700 - a tad steep for our tastes). While we are pleased with our FM9 upgrade in general, we are
