That there is so much confusion about a couple of features that technical writing professionals express an interest in speaks (deeper) to what RickQ wrote; that these new releases should be featured on the Adobe web site. Further, that these features should be described in language that the intended audience finds unambiguous...regards, Kelly.

But maybe we would need the pro extended version of Acrobat along with FM 9 to get the full functionality? That would be disappointing.

I notice that TCS 2.0 includes a version of Acrobat called Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended, and I suspect that this is the "special sauce" that makes the new PDF workflow work. So I suspect that the real question is whether that version of Acrobat will be available as a standalone product, as well as whether it hooks into the standalone version of FrameMaker 9.0. -Fred Ridder _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as clint.o...@craneaerospace.com.
