Hi, Yes. In Acrobat the mouse pointer size is ignored. You could create a bug report here: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/home However, in FM 2020 a large mouse pointer is still large. You cannot expect that FM 2017 would be fixed. Best regards Winfried -Original Message- From: Framers

Hi Alison, FrameMaker creates PDF files via Save As PDF with its own engine. The printer is not involved. This works very well. There can be requirements that you create the PDF via Distiller, but this is also automated. You can still use Save As PDF. You do not need to print to a PostScript

Hi Alison, Do you have this issue for all paragraphs? No matter in which paragraph your insertion mark is? If only in a specific paragraph, there is a special paragraph property which you can see only in MIF. This would allow only that you enter text, but you cannot change the paragraph format.

Hi, OK. I did not have such severe problems as some of you. My impression is that Adobe and the FrameMaker development reacts much more quickly than "in the good old days", when there was no-one from Adobe to talk to. And at least now FrameMaker is as stable as e.g. FM 7. Adobe now also
