Re: Black frame on OLE objects in PDF
Hi Alison, I didn't receive any replies to this post (or I must have missed them), so I don't have a solution yet. Fortunately, I don't use Excel OLE objects often in Frame (only in tables where I need the Excel formulas). My current workaround is to select the black frame in the PDF file and delete it (using Acrobat 3D 8).

RE: Of Templates and Legacy Docs
Whoa, Will! I'm not saying unequivocally they won't. It is a distinct possibility because the company really is not penurious. But part of the question is timing and part of it is picking what you ask for. We've got a big software upgrade purchase going through the channels for myself and a colleague, and I don't want to do anything right now that might derail or delay that. Template Mapper may be an option, but I'm operating under the assumption that now is not the right moment to ask. I phrased the question as I did because I didn't want to get hung up on something that very well might not happen now when other options could be available. The responses that have come have borne out some very useful possibilities.
