Ashley, Dell is fine although my experience is that you are better off if you buy the "Dell Precision Workstations" as opposed to the stuff they hawk for the low-end, casual users. The "workstations" tend to use more "generic" parts as opposed to married-to-the-motherboard specialized-for-Dell el-

(1) In fact, there is still free phone support for software installation problems. (2) Very likely, your Acrobat installation problems have to do someone attempting to uninstall old versions by simply wiping out files as opposed to going to the Control Panel and properly uninstalling the software

2007-12-20 Thread Dov Isaacs
FrameMaker 7.1 will probably work OK (although Adobe does not officially support it) except that FrameMaker 7.1 doesn't coordinate with Acrobat 8.x and the only version of Acrobat that works dependably with Vista is Acrobat 8.1. The real question is WHY you would want Vista. It still isn't really

Adobe discontinued the Frame viewing product not too long after acquiring Frame Development, Inc. FrameMaker came with an ability to produce PDF files and the ability to "read" PDF files was distributed for free. Of course, that didn't solve the collaboration issue. However, Acrobat 8 (both "Stand

I would strongly concur with Art on this one. This problem of the "changing bullet" is only one of a number of anomalies that one will likely encounter migrating to FrameMaker 8 from any earlier release. FrameMaker 8 uses Unicode. There is one and only one "code point" for any specific character.

Rob, Unfortunately, I don't think that there is any way of really "parsing" this PostScript error. It would have been helpful if you gave us a bit more information as to exactly what version of FrameMaker you were using, what platform you are on (Windows, Unix, Mac) and how you were generating P

I have used UltraEdit for years now and strongly endorse it. It not only handles humongous files and has many useful text manipulation features, but it also has a "hex" mode so that you can edit any arbitrary file's binary values. - Dov > -Original Message- > From: Jan Tharp > Sen
