All,
Two systems - both Win 7, 64-bit. System 1 - Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 (both patched and current) System 2 - Framemaker 9 and Adobe PDFMaker Plugin (FM9 fully patched and current) For System 1, because I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 as separate and standalone components, I obviously have access to Distiller 9 as a standalone component. I can open Distiller, set watched folders, set job options, etc. For System 2, the user does not have Acrobat 9, so at the prompt to install the Adobe PDFMaker Plugin (which provides the ability to create PDFS from FM files, and other programs such as PPT), the user of course said yes; however, since Acrobat Distiller is installed as part of a plugin, it does not show in the Start menu, the program files directory, etc., so how on earth can you set up watched folders, set up job options, etc? The Save as PDF function works just fine, but I still located the Distiller .exe here: C:\Program File(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9 , and if you double-click on the entry for Distiller.exe, Distiller doesn't open independently, if you right-click on the Distiller.exe entry and save Send to Desktop as Shortcut, nothing happens. I am assuming that it is for some reason because Distiller is installed as part of a plugin and isn't truly a standalone app. under these circumstances. Basically, I can't figure out how to get Distiller open on its own so that I can set up watched folders, set job options, etc? Is this not at all possible when using the PDFMaker Plugin with FM9 versus installing it with Acrobat 9 or what am I missing? Thanks so much!
