As stated in a hugely long e-mail thread started by me, my frustrating personal experience the week after Christmas was to install Adobe Acrobat first, THEN install FM -- avoiding the PDF Creator thing (as stated above in this e-mail thread). -- Ken in Atlanta On Monday, January 12, 2015

You got it, David. You got it. As said earlier and after much frustration, I finally uninstalled ALL the Adobe things and THEN successfully installed Acrobat Pro 9. Afterwards, I re-installed FrameMaker 10, but WITHOUT the PDF Creation fiendish-thingy (a la Yellow Submarine). I mistakenly

2015-06-22 Thread Ken Poshedly
Questions for all you FrameMaker 12 users out there. 1. Is it true that Adobe has officially built (incorporated) into FM 12 a stable, accurate book archiving feature (so well-done by the late Bruce Foster through FM 8)? 2. If so, how well does it function? We at my company use FM 11 along with

First, thanks to _all_ for your great advice on the archiving / book packaging feature in FrameMaker. I know now full-well that there's NO chance that we'll upgrade to FM12 or FM2015. There IS the possibility of Squidds Finaliser, but even the links to English-language screens for it come up as
