RE: Acrobat 8.1 stops FM print
I had a similar experience. I inadvertently interrupted the Acrobat 8.1 update while it was in progress. I then discovered that I couldn't access any printer driver - even a PCL driver that is unrelated to Acrobat. My printers folder appeared to be completely empty. All the printer drivers were hidden. I ran Help > Check for Updates again in Acrobat. The update took about half an hour or more. When the update was complete, it prompted for a reboot. Printing then worked fine. All the printer drivers were restored to the printers folder with their original configuration.

RE: Acrobat 8.1 stops FM print
Actually, I can repeat the problem. Has nothing to do with a missing FILE: port (for better or worse). Apparently something else has changed in the interface between the Distiller and the AdobePDF printer driver instance and the system with Acrobat 8.1 (as opposed to Acrobat 8.0). In the meantime, you should (famous last words) be able to simply print to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance from FrameMaker to achieve a similar objective. I'll see what's going on here at Adobe. - Dov > -Original Message- > From: Shlomo Perets > Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 2:09 PM > > Furia, > > > You wrote: > > > Only a warning. > > > After the install of the 8.1 upgrade of Acrobat > Professional, FrameMaker (7.0 and 7.2) > reports that it > can't print a PS file and doesn't save as PDF. > > I did a uninstall and a new installation (without the > upgrade) and now all is ok. > > This is likely related to a problem which started with Acrobat 5: > the FILE: port is sometimes deleted mysteriously as part of > installing/upgrading Acrobat. > > I encountered it myself several times -- with different > computers and various Acrobat versions. > > For the benefit of others who may encounter the same problem > when installing/upgrading Acrobat: > if the FILE: port has to be recreated, the steps to be taken > are listed at > http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331115 > > > [ A new behavior of Distiller 8.1 is that it blocks all file > operations by default.

This is likely related to a problem which started with Acrobat 5: the FILE: port is sometimes deleted mysteriously as part of installing/upgrading Acrobat. I encountered it myself several times -- with different computers and various Acrobat versions. For the benefit of others who may encounter the same problem when installing/upgrading Acrobat: if the FILE: port has to be recreated, the steps to be taken are listed at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331115 [ A new behavior of Distiller 8.1 is that it blocks all file operations by default. Users of FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on, which relies on Distiller's access to external files, will have to set-up Distiller 8.1 so that it can access files, as described in http://www.microtype.com/timesavers.html ] Shlomo Perets MicroType, http://www.microtype.com * ToolbarPlus Express for FrameMaker FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
