You got it, David. You got it.
As said earlier and after much frustration, I finally uninstalled ALL the Adobe
things and THEN successfully installed Acrobat Pro 9.
Afterwards, I re-installed FrameMaker 10, but WITHOUT the PDF Creation
"fiendish-thingy" (a la Yellow Submarine).
I mistakenly believed uninstalling FrameMaker 10 the first time would also
uninstall its hangers-on, but obviously NOT.
