RE: Re-installing FM 8 onto a new drive ...
The one compelling reason I had to upgrade to FM8 was unicode support. One of my docs was a multi-lingual safety guide, and each language had to be done separately, PDF'd on localized machines, and then each language had to be assembled into the the final book. This caused problems with some of our print vendors. When I switched to a Unicode-font-based template, those problems disappeared. -Carla - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.

While it might be relatively cheap to buy a single license, the cost grows quickly when you need to update entire departments. Ah! I think I was not clear. I meant, that if a person has already upgraded to FM8.0 on their system, then I don't get the reason for that *same* person to keep FM7.2 on their system as well! I.e., why keep *both* versions on that particular persons system? Separately, your point about not *needing* to upgrade from 7.2 to 8 is, of course, well-taken! Z

Re-installing FM 8 onto a new drive ...
FrameMaker 7.2 ran without any problems with Vista as long as you didn't use the version of Distiller that came with that product, but rather, substituted Acrobat 8.1. - Dov From: Syed.Hosain at aeris.net [mailto:syed.hos...@aeris.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 5:56 PM To: Susan Modlin; Dov Isaacs; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Re-installing FM 8 onto a new drive ...

Hi, Dov, et. al. > (1) FrameMaker 8 works fine on both Vista 32-bit and Vista 64-bit assuming that if you are running Acrobat, you are using at least Acrobat 8.1. Thanks for the info!

Was this the right decision? I hope to find this out before I call Adobe for the Acrobat activation issues ... Also, I ended up *not* loading Vista 64-bit for other reasons yesterday, but I am glad to know that it would have been fine to do so if I had! FWIW, I doubt that there would have been any performance improvement with 64 bit Vista on the typical 100 to 300 page books I working on for, so I decide not to hassle with it for now. > (2) You should ALWAYS cleanly uninstall Adobe applications.
