Art,
Why do you suggest to upgrading Acrobat to X? I'm using FrameMaker 7.2 and
looking to upgrade to FrameMaker 10 for 64-bit support. I use Acrobat 7.0
Professional for sending commenting-enabled PDF files made from FrameMaker
source files out for review. My understanding of Frame 10 is that you can
created commenting-enabled PDF files. Do I need Acrobat X?
Thanks,
Deanna.

Subject: Re: Which FMaker version?
I'd go a little further.
If you're in production and want the fewest problems, go with the
current release, 10.
You really don't have a choice, but the good news is that it's built
to run well on W7 (and does, most of the time), and has a number of
tools and features that make writing life easier. DO NOT try to cut a
corner and skip upgrading Acrobat (assuming you use the full version)
to X.
Do look into FM's new licensing / maintenance / upgrade program...
