I do not know personally know of any such white papers or "intelligent studies"
(whatever that means).
Having said that, what is true is that Acrobat Distiller is basically the very
tried and true Adobe PostScript 3 interpreter with a "back end" that outputs
PDF instead of a raster for printing. It is the gold standard for production of
PDF via distillation of PostScript. It is one of the most stable and reliable
pieces of code within Adobe (and perhaps the graphic arts industry). Note that
prior to availability of the Adobe PDF Print Engine technology, most all high
end prepress systems shipped with a similar "headless" version of Distiller
known as "Normalizer."
If a copy of Acrobat Distiller is included with FrameMaker at no extra cost,
why in the world would you want to use CloneScript?

Dov,
In the PS you touch a rather interesting case: the difference between Acrobat
and GhostScript. Do you know of a white paper or any intelligent study on the
difference between the two -- and maybe other ps/pdf tools?
Thanks beforehand,
Bodvar Bjorgvinsson

What you were told is absolutely incorrect. A "headless" version of Acrobat
Distiller does come with FrameMaker 10.
The only reason you would need a standalone copy of Acrobat would be if you
wanted to further manipulate the PDF file (not just view it with Adobe Reader).
Please, when dealing with any Adobe "support person," please get the name
and/or id of whoever you are talking with as well as the "case number" (if a
support case is opened) such that we can appropriately follow-up with them when
either improper or unintelligible responses are given to customers. If we don't
know who it is, we can't correct the problem.
- Dov
PS: You really don't want GhostScript-based stuff that typically
yields problems farther down in your PDF workflow.

FWIW, I was told (and I hope incorrectly) by an Adobe support person that FM10
requires the installation of a stand-alone copy of Acrobat to produce PDFs. So
I'm using a 3rd-party app with GhostScript to produce my PDFs rather than
sending Adobe more money for something that should have been included in the FM
package.

Hello,
I just loaded FM10 on Windows 7 64. I tried to print to Adobe PDF. I have the
request for filename selected, however, it prints, there are no error messages,
and I can't find the file. If I save the file as PDF, it saves OK, however, I
can't get the bookmarks that way. Can someone tell me if there is a setting
that I don't have correct. This worked fine on FM9.
Thank You,
