Upgrade from FM8 to 11? - Thanks

Thanks to all who responded. A reply from Harpreet, Adobe Support, says that the printing issue has been fixed. The other replies are mixed. One of my clients is using FM10 and eventually, I will not be able to create documents for them in FM8. I expect I will be upgrading soon. Tim Lewis Lewis Te

Upgrade from FM8 to 11?

2012-10-12 Thread Robert Lauriston
I have a long list of bugs that I encountered when I was trying to arrange FM10's windows and dialogs / pods the way I like them. I reset FM10 to its defaults, left the UI in its default state, and gave up on keyboard shortcuts for most things, that works better. I'd use FM8 if I had a copy. Much

Hi Rob, Sorry for your problems with the upgrade--I haven't experienced those, because we're happy enough to just Save As PDF for the majority of our books. (I haven't printed to .ps since Adobe fixed the PDF issue a couple years back...) I'm writing again just to emphasize that my own problem wasn

Framemaker 8 freezing with Win7, do Frame 8 patches apply to Win7?

2012-10-12 Thread Theresa de Valence
Lise, I'm running 8.0p273 on Win 7 64 bit. I had trouble getting Frame running at the beginning. In the end I had to replace Acrobat 8 (Professional) with Acrobat X (which in many ways did not run as well). Sorry that I can no longer remember the specifics, but you may feel assured that it wil

Tim, I currently own Frame 8 at home. Was upgraded from Frame 8 at work to Frame 10 because a newly acquired company writer had Frame 7. I still hate Frame 10. The pods are an abomination as far as I am concerned. Unless you unpod them, some of the dialogs which spawn an intermediate dialog,

No it doesn't. Printing a document or book of over 100 pages to PDF takes 10 times as long as it did in FM9. Structure or unstructured, makes no difference. Also no difference whether you save as PDF, print to the Adobe PDF printer (assuming it hasn't uninstalled itself!), or print to PS and th
