The old 7 driver is still installed, unless you somehow modified your Acrobat installation. There wouldn't have been any reason to disturb it during the FM 9 installation. However, that 5- or 6-year old software is installed in a different path than the current Acrobat r 9 location, so the newer location is used in FM 9. > Of course, we could print to file using another print > driver, but that is not generally considered kosher, and can produce a > whole slew of other problems (fonts, colours, etc.) that I do not want > to wrangle with. > Actually, most people have reported noticabely fewer problems printing to the printer instance than using the buggier SaveAs route in 9. If you're having problems printing to the Acrobat 7 printer instance from 9, it's likely do to your Acrobat 7 set up. For instance, did you update Acrobat settings to include the new font folders installed with FM 9? > * Has anyone been able to get the Acrobat7 PDF print driver to install > on a Windows7 machine? * If so, is there a particular install sequence we need to follow?
