I found that Acrobat Pro won't save any document edits in trial mode. I used to think Acrobat Pro was great - I've had four versions in the past, up to and including AP 6. But Adobe's unpublished upgrade policy has changed all that for me. I was having activation problems with Acrobat Pro 8 Upgrade, caused by their very first AP 6 update via Flexnet, that support says won't be fixed as it's no longer a supported product (all AP8 upgrade keys were invalidated on March 1st, apparently!). I sent the box back to the reseller for a refund and set about assessing alternatives. Luckily, I found NitroPDF (www.nitropdf.com). Now, for $99, I get everything Acro Pro can do and more, everything "just works", and its distiller is blazingly fast. *And* there's no FlexNet under the hood, deactivating your activated products when it plonks an update into your previously working installation. In short, Nitro makes Acro Pro look very, very ordinary. To post-fix Susan's PDFs in Nitro, you can just add a bookmark to your initial page, name it 'titlepage' (or anything you like) and then hit Ctrl-D, set the initial page in the document properties and Save As... You can also set other initial properties like the zoom level, pages per view and so on. It even supports some properties that only apply to Acrobat Reader, that might or might not be important for PDFs generated by Adobe's Distiller. Still, if the document is going to be maintained, then hacking the PDF isn't a very nice solution. Better to have Frame pass the proper arguments to Distiller in the first place. Helen

Hi All, Using FM 7.0, Acrobat Distiller 5.0, Vista Enterprise on Compaq laptop. - In the pdf setup, I have marked the file to open on pg 1. However, the file is now opening at the end of the book. Can I make the file open on the Title Page, which has no page number? The title page is in the book window as a separate file -- would it help if I attached the title page to the front matter? What settings do I need ? Thanks, Sue Curtzwiler susa...@vmc.com ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

Susan: Do you have Adobe Acrobat? You can renumber the pages there, including giving the cover the number Cover. Then you can reset the open to page option to Cover. If you need me to elaborate, let me know.

Re: New Topic 2: PDF will not open at beginning
Susan, There's a parameter in the PDF setup or the PDF printer setup that you can access from the FM Printer page that lets you specify the opening page, but I don't have a version that old installed so I can't tell you the exact location. Assuming the title page is in the book file from which the PDF is generated, it has a physical page number in Acrobat and within the PDF -- you probably noticed that the page numbers of the book and the PDF don't automatically match up. If you can't find it and you need a quick fix, you may want to download the eval version of Acrobat and make the adjustment on a different system so you don't mess up your current install.
