Re: Anything I should know before upgrading to TCS5?

2014-05-10 Thread Theresa de Valence

Frame 12 list price is $999.
Adobe is having a special discount so that it now costs US $636.86 and 
there is a discount for TC5 but only for cloud subscription.


I opted for the full Frame 12

Re: Anything I should know before upgrading to TCS5?

2014-05-08 Thread Carol J. Elkins
Last year I opted to subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud for 
$29.99/month promotional. That has now jumped to $49.99/month, but it 
provides access to every Adobe product I could want, including 
Photoshop and Illustrator. But those products were part of TCS4, so 
some people who already have them may simply choose not to upgrade 
them. I will not, however, relinquish my perpetual license to 
Framemaker until Adobe forces me to. I think my sole reason for 
wanting to upgrade this time is because I want to make sure that when 
Adobe decides to force the Framemaker subscription, I have the most 
current licensed version loaded because it will probably be the last 
upgrade I make. So I guess as long as Adobe dangles the threat of 
forcing a Framemaker subscription, I'll continue to shell out the 
bucks to maintain my perpetual license. That is a good marketing strategy, eh?


So far only one response to my question about upgrade gotchas. So am 
I to assume that everyone who has upgraded to TCS5 and FM12 had an 
uneventful upgrade experience?

This would be my ONLY reason for the upgrade, so I would like to learn what
the Obie ones have to say, since I say they are chatting happily about Adobe
FM12.

RE: Anything I should know before upgrading to TCS5?

2014-05-08 Thread Jeff Coatsworth
There's nothing unique to TCS5 compared to other TCS upgrades - the biggest 
gotcha is Acrobat - it just doesn't play well with multiple versions. If you've 
already got the newest Acrobat installed, tell TCS5 to skip loading it (and 
make sure that FM doesn't pooch it with its headless version too). 
Conversely, you can uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it as part of TCS5. Your 
choice...

Anything I should know before upgrading to TCS5?

2014-05-07 Thread Carol J. Elkins
I've attended most of the Adobe Webinars about TCS5 and FM12 and am 
getting close to being ready to upgrade from TCS 4 using FM11 and 
RH10 to TCS5 using FM12 and RH11.  I'm running Windows 7. To the best 
of this group's collective knowledge, are there any gotchas that I 
need to be aware of?  Can I copy the .ini file over to the new FM12 
as I have done for the past umpteen upgrades?


When I install, is it possible to keep FM 11 on the same drive and 
install a new FM 12? If so, is there anything I should do to keep 
Acrobat happy?  Can FM11 open files created in FM12?


If there are any secrets you could pass along that might reduce 
headaches and heartburn during the upgrade, I'd really appreciate it.


Carol

Dear Carol:
 I am in the same boat, considering TCS5:

is a bit clunky and nowhere close to illustrator.
I am trying to find an educational discount price with no effect.
I was very impressed with the stability of FM 11, but disappointed in its
advertised out of the box printing to e-books (apart from .pdf).
