 I use Framemaker 7.0 and Distiller 5.0. We recently acquired Acrobat
 Professional for generating editable pdfs. Do I need to follow any do’s and
 don’ts for the installation? Will the two registry entries cause any
 discrepancies? I have decided to install the Acrobat Professional in a
 different drive and location. Is the decision right?

Fred is absolutely correct -- do _not_ try to put two versions of Acrobat 
(including the Distiller component) on the same PC. Period. 

And why would you want to? What would be the point of installing version 9 of 
Acrobat Pro  (which of course includes Distiller), but continuing to use the 
quite ancient Distiller 5?
