Acrobat moves callouts in anchored frames

2013-09-25 Thread Daniel Salter
I am working on a FrameMaker 7 (Win 8) document with callouts in anchored frames set up so that they can be dragged into precise position alongside text in the main flow. Seems kind of old school, but it works beautifully for this document -- except that Acrobat arbitrarily shifts all the call

Believe me I have said that as an instructor AND a user! As someone who lost, multiple times (and, of course, right at the due date) 300 page documents, I swore that if I ever had to do that kind of work in Word again, I would charge at least 5 times the normal price! On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 4:41
