Can Acrobat 8 Professional coexist with FrameMaker 8.0?

I run FrameMaker 8.0p273 on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop running Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 2.
When I try to install Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a setup message stating "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate."
I also have Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed. (I had thought that Reader might have been the application that Acrobat was complaining about, but uninstalling Reader didn't help.)
I have created PDF files from FrameMaker 8 in the hopes of using the commenting and sticky-note features, but the PDFs that I create do not have that functionality.
Should I uninstall FrameMaker 8, install Acrobat 8 Professional, and then reinstall FrameMaker?
Or is there some other way to get the full functionality of Acrobat 8 that my FrameMaker installation seems to think I already have?

Thanks, Arnis: Your suggestion worked well. Here are the exact steps I took:
1. Uninstalled FrameMaker 8, the PDF Creation Add-On, and the two FM patches I'd installed (8.0p266 and 8.0p273). (I might not have needed to uninstall the two patches, but I wanted a clean slate.)
2. Installed Acrobat 8 Professional.
3. Reinstalled FM 8 without the PDF Creation Add-On. (There was a separate window to choose the latter installation, which I declined.)
4. Reinstalled patches p266 and p273.
5. Restarted my system.
6. Restarted FM 8, opened a FM file, and successfully created a PDF file (File > Save As PDF).
Thanks for your help--

Is Adobe Acrobat XI compatible with Framemaker 8?

Installing the trial version of Acrobat has uninstalled the Adobe pdf printer instance from my Framemaker 8 installation. I can no longer make pdf's with Framemaker! Can these two Adobe products run on the same machine? How do I get Framemaker working again - do I have to reinstall?

re: ... this problem seems firmly placed at Adobe's doorstep ...
Yes and no.
The problem of FM trashing Acro installs, and vice-versa, without warning, is something we can definitely lay at the doorstep of the Adobe abode.
Adobe main apps tend to co-exist (if the older ones run at all on new platforms, and that's usually beyond Adob's control).
The problem of old and new drivers (Ps/PDF drivers, PDFwriters, etc.) coexisting is not trivial. If the drivers maintain their same names, stomp. If they churn the names, it breaks user expectations and possibly some scripts (like SetPrint).

Acrobat 7, needed with FrameMaker 7: How do I get and install an "Adobe PDF printer instance?"

In FrameMaker, when I try to save a FrameMaker file as a PDF file, I get the following message: "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute "Save as PDF" command". I have a sinking feeling that I deleted that printer instance from my list of printers, thinking I did not need such a printer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker 7, Acrobat 7 and Reader 9. All reinstalled successfully, EXCEPT still no Adobe PDF printer instance. Thus my question: how do I get and install that Adobe PDF printer instance?
.( I am using a new computer. I still have my old computer available, with the Adobe PDF printer instance on it. If I could find where in the old machine (Windows XP) the files are for it, I could copy them to the new machine).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just curious,
What is the new machine's OS (& is it 32-bit or 64-bit)?
Be well...

Can InDesign CS6 coexist with CS5.5 Production Premium?

I have a user with Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium installed. They want to purchase InDesign CS6. Will ID CS6 install and work correctly if the rest of the Adobe apps are CS5.5???

They can coexist quite nicely.

Can Acrobat XI Pro with videos provide good security?

eBooks provide a good basis for use of videos. I reviewed the process to use videos within Acrobat X (I?). Much of the information related to completion of forms and collaborative projects. Apparently InDesign does not have a way to include videos. I have prepared iBooks using iBooks Author. The result, even as a novice, was fine. However, Adobe's CC relationship encourages use of several robust software, such as Audition, that would enhance my use of videos. Rather than switch between PC, needed for an only PC program, and a MAC I would like to configure future eBooks within the PC environment. Apple's iBooks environment provides indicated security, even with an assortment of media types(videos, slide shows, Qs and As). Acrobat XI appears to be a good resource with its new video inclusion capability. However, security is an important element. Does Acrobat XI provide sufficient security to prevent abuse of copyright material?

Does Acrobat Professional come with Creative Cloud Complete?

Ont he marketing page, it is listed among the apps, on the buy page, it is not...please clarify. thanks

If I am on Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
click on the business tab, when I see the option to choose complete or choose my apps, Adobe Acrobat is not listed as an option.
https://creative.adobe.com/plans?single_app=photoshop&trackingid=KRQMH
My goal is to price the complete package vs PS, SI, and Acrobat Pro, which is all I need. As a new customer (we do have other licences within the company, so are we not a new customer? no one seems clear on this), the complete is $69/m, PS is $29, AI is $29, I don't see Acrobat Pro, so I can't say how much it is through this cloud, but through the regalr adobe site, it is $14/mt.
If acrobat pro is in the complete package, then the complete is cheaper than buying all three piecemeal. I just want to be sure, because if acrobat pro is not included in complete, there would be no point in getting the complete if I am only using 2 apps from it.
thanks

Can't create PDF files with adobe acrobat professional 8 on windows 7

I running acrobat Professional 8 on Windows 7 64bit. I can only create PDF files while logged on as administrator. I tried adding the user to the Administrators group, but still have the same problem. The system hangs right after adobe promts me for the file name, I provide the file name click save and it hangs when displaying the "printing message'
Any ideas?
Thanks

Acrobat Pro 8 is not compatible with Win 7---especially for creating pdfs.

CS 5.5 coexist with CS 6.0 causes FrameMaker issue - can't import SVG file!

Due to some project demands, we installed Adobe CS back to 5.5 on a computer which has CS6.0 already installed. After the installation, everything worked in normal except one problem - we could not import SVG into FM file for all versions of FrameMaker on this computer.
Does the coexistence of CS 5.5 and 6.0 cause this issue? Or can CS 5.5 coexist with CS6.0 on a same machine? or any other reasons? Please comments!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Can you import Catia V5 files with Acrobat Professional 8.2?

Hi,
In my version of Acrobat Pro 8.2 there is tab called 3D tool under Tools> advanced editing.
It seems like it should be possible to insert a 3D file in a PDF in this version as well, but it will not recognize my Catia files.
Can I export my catia file to something that the PDF doc understands?
Catia will export to stl, igs, 3dmap, 3dxml, cgr, hcg, vps, vrl
Which formats does it understand, anyway ? I can not find any info in regard to this.
Do I need to upgrade to have this capability?
Sincerely,
ggaarde

With Acrobat Professional 8.2 the 3D Tool will only import U3D files. To import CATIA V5 files you would need to have Acrobat 3D 8.1 or later. In Acrobat 9 the name was changed to Acrobat Pro Extended. You do get some huge 3D Tools with the 3D nad/or Extended apps. However, if you can get your CATIA file converted to U3D format, then you will be able to create a 3D PDF with the Pro version of Acrobat 8.2.

How can I do when my acrobat professional 6.01 is not compatible with WIN7 system?

how can I do when my acrobat professional 6.01 is not compatible with WIN7 system?

If you are lokking for loopholes or workarounds - they don't exist. Your only option is to buy a new license of Acrobat XI. Of course, depending on what functionality you need, there are enough alternative, cheaper tools to create and edit PDFs or even free tools. Most of them won't deal with forms or otehr advanced features, though, but as long as you only want to convert your Word files to PDFs, the'll do the trick and you don't need Acrobat.

System Events not working correctly with Acrobat Professional

Hey Guys, I have a script that I have written that automatically enables security settings on a PDF through Acrobat Professional. Because of Acrobats poor scriptability I am forced into doing much though System Events.
This is not a major problem... however when activating some settings in the security settings, often warning Alert dialog boxes appear when you tell System Events to enable particular settings. These Alerts do not have a title... The only way I have been able to get the script to deal with them is with the following code:
if title of front window is "" then
    tell front window
        click button "OK"
    end tell
end if
I guess this is an ok solution... bit hard to identify windows when they don't have titles...
BUT this is not my main problem. The main problem is that the script gets to one of these alert dialog boxes and just sits there... It sits there for like 10 seconds and then it performs the "click button "OK"" command.
This is a problem as there are like 3 of these instances and it really adds up. Can anybody help me... I am using Acrobat Professional 8.2.0 and the entire code is:
tell application "System Events"
    try
        tell process "Acrobat"
            -- Enable security settings
            click menu item "Properties..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1

Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional

Hello all,
I have the following problem:
When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
Backgroundinfo:
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
- Windows XP (SP2)
- MS Word 2002
Thanks in advance!
Bart

Dear Steve,
I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
Any other suggestions?
If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
Anyone ideas?
Grtz,
Bart

Can't Print to Trial Acrobat Professional

I downloaded and installed an Acrobat Professional 30-day
Trial version. It starts up but when I try to print to it, either
from Word or using the startup icon, I get a message that I must
activate it to print to it. But it appears activation requires that
I purchase the trial.
Can anyone please help me?

I've started having the same problem with InDesign and a Canon Pixma iX4000-- the job is sent to the printer much too quickly, and then the print queue shows an error message of "no pages found." It worked for the first week or so I had the printer, and then for no apparent reason it stopped.
I've rebooted, reinstalled the printer under different names, deleted InDesign prefs etc., but nothing has helped. The only way I can currently print from InDesign is to use the "print as bitmap" option, which is extremely slow.
