RE(2): FM10 does not output Adobe PDF

2011-05-09 Thread Böðvar Björgvinsson 
Dov,

In the PS you touch a rather interesting case: the difference between
Acrobat and GhostScript. Do you know of a white paper or any intelligent
study on the difference between the two -- and maybe other ps/pdf tools?

Thanks beforehand,

Bodvar Bjorgvinsson

Ghostscript [was 'Re: RE(2): FM10 does not output Adobe PDF']

2011-05-09 Thread Hedley Finger 
Ghostscript can open an eps or ps file directly and display it on its 
canvas.  You can also select individual pages and print them.  If you 
want to make PDFs on *nix, it's your only option.

 What you were told is absolutely incorrect. A “headless” version of Acrobat
 Distiller does come with FrameMaker 10.



 The only reason you would need a standalone copy of Acrobat would be if you
 wanted to further manipulate the PDF file (not just view it with Adobe
 Reader).



 Please, when dealing with any Adobe “support person,” please get the name
 and/or id of whoever you are talking with as well as the “case number” (if a
 support case is opened) such that we can appropriately follow-up with them
 when either improper or unintelligible responses are given to customers. If
 we don’t know who it is, we can’t correct the problem.



 - Dov



 PS:  You really don’t want GhostScript-based stuff that typically
 yields problems farther down in your PDF workflow.

 FWIW, I was told (and I hope incorrectly) by an Adobe support person that
 FM10 requires the installation of a stand-alone copy of Acrobat to produce
 PDFs.  So I'm using a 3rd-party app with GhostScript to produce my PDFs
 rather than sending Adobe more money for something that should have been
 included in the FM package.
