RE: FM Installation
A few things ... If you have doggie-droppings on your system from Acrobat 4 (i.e., you didn't COMPLETELY uninstall Acrobat 4 prior to installing Acrobat 7), you definitely will have problems with FrameMaker 7's save as PDF feature as well as other integration of Acrobat with other system functions. Furthermore, I believe FrameMaker 7.0 came out BEFORE Acrobat 6. In Acrobat 6, the name of the PostScript printer driver instance used by Acrobat changed to Adobe PDF. I believe that FrameMaker 7.1 was the first version of FrameMaker to be compatible with that name change (affecting Acrobat 6 and 7). - Dov -Original Message- From: DON SHAFFER Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 6:32 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: FM Installation We recently received new computers.

Ugh. Upgrades can be a pain. I'd start by checking if you have a printer FILE: port. That's the port FM sends print jobs to when printing as postscript, which "Save as PDF" needs as an intermediate step. Updating/reinstalling Acrobat seems to clobber the port, for us anyway. If you don't have a FILE: port, just create one (from your Start menu). In the Printer Properties dialog of any printer, select the Ports tab. Note the port that this printer is currently using. Then click Add Port, select Local Port, click New Port, type FILE: (uppercase and : both required). Click Okay till you're back at the printer properties. The printer will now be using the FILE: port; set it to use its original port instead. Nothing needs to be using the FILE: port - it just needs to exist. If that doesn't work, I'd uninstall both FM and Acrobat and try again. If you've got the full version of Acrobat, then don't install the version of Distiller from the FM CD. Leave it to Acrobat instead. And after your second attempt, check for the FILE: port again. Hope that helps! Rebecca >>> "DON SHAFFER" 25/08/06 01:32 >>> We recently received new computers.
