Garnier,
I’m absolutely amazed that FrameMaker 7.0 “save as PDF” works at all with
Acrobat 8. It is contrary
to information that I had internally. I was under the strongest impression that
FrameMaker 7.1
was the first version that recognized “Adobe PDF” as the Distiller’s printer as
opposed to
“Acrobat Distiller” used in older Acrobat versions. Guess I was given bad info
internally.
I suspect that as long as you continue with FrameMaker 7.0, you’ll need to
avoid upgrades
to Acrobat 9, at least on the systems for which you are relying on the “save as
PDF” feature.

If that is the case, I would like to know how come FM 7.0p576 is working
absolutely fine with Acrobat Pro 8.0? The Save As PDF works fine and so does
the script that all writers use to convert to pdf. All works fine even without
changing the locations of pdf printer instance or the joboptions. Five writers
are using FM 7.0 p576 with Acrobat Pro 8.0 and face no issues whatsoever.
Upgrading FM is not so simple because of the volume of manuals that we have.
Besides the issue is with Acrobat Pro 9.0, therefore there is no reason to
upgrade. May be I should downgrade to 8.0 instead?
B/R
Garnier

The problem is not with Acrobat 9.
The problem is that the "save as PDF" function of FrameMaker 7.0 (since then
Adobe has released 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and 9.0) simply knows nothing about the
registry settings and the "Adobe PDF" PostScript printer driver instance used
by more recent versions of Acrobat (i.e, 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x).
Simply stated, your version of FrameMaker is way too old for compatibility
with Acrobat 9. There is no solution that Adobe can provide for you other
than to advise you to upgrade FrameMaker.
It is most unfortunate that Adobe Technical Support did not (or was not capable
of) immediately giving you this information.
