First, you need to upgrade your copy of Acrobat. Version 6 is VERY old and hasn't been supported by Adobe for about 3 years now. Second, it sounds like the existing PDF may have an issue. Does it work correctly when viewed by itself? Can you send a copy of a PDF that demonstrates the problem

Actually, FrameMaker can NOT generate PDF files directly. It produces Postscript and then feeds that to Distiller. Distiller is NOT licensed for use on a server, thus you cannot install FrameMaker + Distiller on the server for PDF creation. -Original Message- From: mister bean [mailt
