Syd, I also continue to use Save As PDF with no problems for the exact reason you state (FM 7.2, Acrobat 8). When I went to Acrobat 8 (came with CS3), the View Generated PDF function didn't work, but I simply click the file in the Distiller window that pops up, and the pdf file opens with bookmarks, hyperlinks and security settings intact.
For me, it's so simple that's its been a bit irritating that the process gets hammered so quickly by the list. But, since I've never had any problems, I can't offer any suggestions for why it doesn't work for others. It works for me, even with my IT dept. doing the installs, so I'm sure they didn't do anything special.

I have used all versions of FM 6, 7, and 8 (for FM 9, evaluation only for a few weeks) with the various *similar* Acrobat generations available at those times (including FM 7.2 with Acrobat 8) and have not had any major difficulties with the "Save as PDF" from within FM. (Other than the issue with having to change the paragraph tag settings - one time for any given document - for the PDF generation back and forth a few times till I get the sequence right and prevent the now-expected FM crash. But that is a one-time frustration - albeit silly and aggravating and I wish Adobe would fix it - with any given document and any given version change of FM or Acrobat. After making the changes to the settings for a document, when using a new version of FM, the "Save as PDF" works perfectly for me from then on.) In fact, having tried both "Save as PDF" and "Print to PDF" (only a few times though), with "Save as PDF" I'd say I get better results, since it gives me the heading markers and window automatically ... which I was not able to figure out afterwards with "Print to PDF", so I gave up on that fairly quickly. Is this perhaps a case of "YMMV" rather than a clear problem for *everybody*? Z _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as bemr...@phoenixcon.com.
