Why not just install the Distiller that came with FM 7.1? If yo must use Acrobat 5.xx set the Distiller settings appropriately. Alan
Recommended version of Acrobat for FM 7.1
I've been getting away with using Acrobat 5.0 with FrameMaker 7.1 (Windows XP Pro) for some time now, but it looks like my luck has finally run out. I installed Acrobat 5.0 and FrameMaker 7.1 on a new computer (Windows XP Media Edition) and all appeared to be working fine until I opened the first PDF distilled on this new machine. It's a 200 page document and the 3rd page does not display properly (something about error 122). I tried distilling the offending page separately and replacing the problem page. I also tried distilling and replacing the offending file (the TOC) . Finally I tried just deleting the offending page. But in every case the file refuses to Save. When I try, I get a progress bar that goes to about 80% before an error message pops up, referring again to error 122. So, assuming that my problem is related to mis-matched versions of Acrobat and FrameMaker, I'm wondering what version of Acrobat to purchase. Assuming the latest version is not the best match for the version of Frame I've got, where can I purchase it? On the other hand if you've seen a less expensive fix to this kind of problem, please point me in the direction. I"d much prefer spending the $$ on Christmas. Thanks for your input. Sincerely, -- J.

RE: Recommended version of Acrobat for FM 7.1
In theory, there should be no reason why Acrobat 5 (hopefully updated to Acrobat 5.0.5 - get the update on Adobe's web site at <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=W indows>) should not work directly with Acrobat 5 unless you are using the "save as PDF" feature. I know of no Acrobat error messages that have numbers such as "122" -- anything else in the error message? Any other software that you are using in conjunction with both FrameMaker and Acrobat (plug-ins, etc.)? Did you try simply rebooting your system and running Acrobat on that document again? - Dov > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 2:00 PM > To: Framers > Subject: Recommended version of Acrobat for FM 7.1 > > I've been getting away with using Acrobat 5.0 with FrameMaker > 7.1 (Windows XP Pro) for some time now, but it looks like my > luck has finally run out. > > I installed Acrobat 5.0 and FrameMaker 7.1 on a new computer > (Windows XP Media Edition) and all appeared to be working > fine until I opened the first PDF distilled on this new machine. > > It's a 200 page document and the 3rd page does not display > properly (something about error 122).

BTW...Acrobat and FM don't upgrade in lockstep. Currently, the Acrobat version is Acrobat 8. If you contact Adobe, that is the only version they'll sell you, though I'm sure you could find a reseller to sell you 7, but why buy something obsolete?
