Garnier, Dov Isaacs of Adobe has frequently and adamantly advised that only ONE installation of Acrobat OR Reader OR Distiller should ever be put on a single PC. Here's a quotation from the archives: "Although (very unfortunately), it is PHYSICALLY possible to have multiple versions of Adobe Acrobat concurrently installed, concurrent versions of Adobe Reader concurrently installed, or some combination of versions of both Acrobat and Reader installed, the truth is that the architecture of these programs and the underlying operating system services used by same really only fully supports installation of only one version of EITHER Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader on one system at one time.... [T]here are a tremendous number of problems reported to Adobe that are suddenly cleared up when the user's systems are scraped of all concurrent versions of Acrobat and Reader, replaced by a single version of one or another. (Note that by "Acrobat" I mean any and all pieces of it including the Distiller, the AdobePDF PostScript printer driver instance, and the viewing program!)" I suggest that you uninstall everything again, then reinstall Framemaker but do NOT allow it to install Distiller. Then install Acrobat (I assume you mean Acrobat Standard or Pro -- I don't know of a program called "Acrobat Editor") and do NOT install Reader.
