Ha! I knew it couldn't be that FrameMaker 8 was unable to create PDF with Acrobat 9. I turns out I need to patch. Until I get the patches, the workaround is to turn on tagging in the PDF settings.
Now, I can't seem to find the patches anywhere. They aren't obvious on the Adobe site. But if I want to migrate Maker 8 to a new machine, I need them... Am I just blind and can't see them? Can anybody give me a pointer? The UPDATER command doesn't work because it thinks I have the wrong build of the product, for some reason... Thanks cud
