FM 9 compatible with Acrobat 8?

I'm evaluating a trial version of FM9.
I already had Acrobat Standard 8 installed, so I skipped the PDF option of the FM9 install based on past experience with FrameMaker's built-in partial Acrobat distribution trashing Acrobat Proper.
FM9 (as noted in some previous topics here) would not save as PDF. I repaired Acrobat 8, no change. So as to continue with the evaluation, I installed a trial of Acrobat 9, but I don't want to buy it as it has no new features I need.
So is there a way to get FM9's Save as PDF feature to recognize and use Acrobat 8?
By the way, any Adobe types who are following this, your proprietary download manager is horribly buggy and slow, you should dump it. Also, the Acrobat 9 installer is preposterously slow (took overnight), you should switch to whatever you're using for FrameMaker 9, which worked OK.

Some correlation between FrameMaker and Distiller may be useful.
Some snippets from Adobe TechNotes.
"You can create PDF files in Adobe FrameMaker by saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF file or by printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Both methods use Adobe Acrobat Distiller..."
and
"Make sure that you use a version of Acrobat Distiller that is compatible with FrameMaker."
FrameMaker 8.0.4 (p277) is compatible with Acrobat 9 .
FrameMaker 8.0 is compatible with Acrobat Distiller 8.0.x.
FrameMaker 7.2 is compatible with Acrobat Distiller 7.0.
FrameMaker 7.1p116 is compatible with either Acrobat Distiller 6.0 or 7.0.
FrameMaker 7.1b023 and 7.1p114 are compatible with Acrobat Distiller 6.0.
FrameMaker 7 shipped with Distiller 5.05
FrameMaker 6 shipped with Distiller 4.05
And, for FM 9.x we got/have Distiller 9.x
Be well...

PDF Documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0

Which version (Standard, Pro or Ext Pro) of Adobe Acrobat 9.0 family should I buy to create PDF documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0 ????
Is it possible to create PDF files from HTML and navigate through the links ????
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.
Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ???? Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ????? If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
Thank you in advance.

Looking Server-based Solution Compatible with Acrobat 7.0

I need to merge XFDF and PDF files on a server and return a PDF file. The server solution must be compatible with Acrobat 7.0 because we use rich-text fields in our XFDF that rely on the xfa:spec=2.1.0. So far, the server-based products we've tried have not worked because they are based on Acrobat 6.0 (which is compatible with xfa:spec=2.0.x, I believe).
Please help! It would be great just to know definitively there's nothing out there, if that is the case.

Lori

Is FrameMaker 9 compatible with Acrobat XI?

We have the Tech Comms Suite 2 that comes with FrameMaker 9. We are slowly getting away from FrameMaker but still have some documents that we maintain with Frame. However, we would like to upgrade Acrobat to XI. Does anyone know if Acrobat XI is compatible with FrameMaker 9? We are on Windows 7...if that helps.

Too bad about moving away from Frame, since it's steadily improving.
But yes, the two apsa are compatible. Acrobat is basically a "printer" that
processes whatever you send it.
The integration features built into the TCS components may not work well
because they expect whatever version of Acrobat shipped with it, but
producing PDFs with all the bells and whistles shouldn't be a problem.

Reader X compatible with Acrobat 9 shared review

I need to know if I can initiate a shared PDF review with Acrobat 9 and include reviewers running Reader X and Reader 9.
If anyone has info on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

So presumably a Shared Review started with Acrobat 9 could also be responded to with Reader X? I have such a user that can't seem to connect to the review, though he can open the document.

Adobe Reader 8 compatible with Acrobat Standard and Pro 7?

Our organization has Adobe Reader 7 deployed to all users. Some users also have Acrobat Standard 7 or Acrobat Pro 7. We want to upgrade all users to Adobe Reader 8 (or maybe 9) but do not want to upgrade Standard and Pro users yet.
I have not been able to find any information about compatibility issues with Reader 8 and older versions of Acrobat, but last time we did an upgrade in similar fashion we experienced issues. Any insight?

Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

Form doesn't play nicely with Acrobat 8 Pro

Hi everyone,
I recently created a very dynamic PDF that we've sent to a number of our partners to help with sharing data.
One of our partners is using Adobe Acrobat 8 to fill in the form. They have reported a bug where filling in a specific number of repeatable subforms causes the order of the subforms to become jumpled, along with having a large number of blank pages tacked onto the end. Removing the 'threashold' repeatabed subform section puts the form back to rights, but any additional subforms added causes the form to break as I've described above.
When I check the compatibility tab of the form properties, I see that all three sections are listed as version 7... I think that applies to the version of LiveCycle.
When I go to save the form as a dynamic PDF, there is a small text included in the save-as screen (near the bottom) saying, "this form is compatible with Acrobat and Adobe Reader 9.0 or later". Is there any way to change the compatibility to 8.0?
To make matters worse, I don't have access to acrobat 8 Pro, so I can't even see the issue for myself. I just have a number of phone conversations to go off of.
I would really appreciate any help that any one might be able to offer. Thanks!

Hi,
Keep in mind, you only need Reader to use the forms (unless you're doing somthing beyond filling-in form fields). Encouraging Reader (vs Pro) lets the user have the full benefit of all form handling updates--and other compatibility issues like IE9. I've have seen what I believe may be a bug that went away when the client upgraded from Reader 9 to Reader 10. It had to do with repeating table cells all named "Cell" .
For one user, their Reader 9 choked, reporting that it couldn't find Row[i]Cell (this is when the script was looking at Row[i].Cell[0] in a for loop). Didn't like it, but upgrading to Reader 10 made it go away--whew!
I don't rule out that if we tried re-instatling Reader 9, that might have fixed it, as well. However, I've had a problem reported from a different user with Reader 9, that went away with Reader 10, as well. I didn't have the opportunity to view the error reported, so I can't say for sure it was the same thing. That user upgraded and the problem went away.
I now insist that my clients have Reader 10. For me, its just asking for trouble, not to. Here you see there have been improvements for form handling in Reader 8, 9 & 10.

Is PDFMaker compatible with Win7 *and* MSWord 2003?

This is a follow-on question to my earlier question of Sept 6 "Is Acrobat Pro V9.4.4 compatible with Win7" answered by CtDave.
My co-worker uses XP, MS Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro V9.4.4. Before his last day, his license is to be transferred to my computer (MS Word 2003 and Win 7). Will his version of Acrobat Pro V9.4.4. work okay for 508 compliance purposes since I have both 2003 and Win7?
Just doublechecking with that additional information...
Thanks,
Neysa

Win 7, Office 2003 is bit of an awkward combination.
Best practice would be to update to the Office suite intended for the new OS.
MS Office 2003 applications are compatible with Acrobat 9.x PDFMaker.
So, configure Acrobat's PDFMaker to Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF.
Master a test file in Word and give use of PDFMaker to output PDF a try.
If you get the PDF walk the structure tree (in the Tags Panel).
Is all proper there? If yes, then you've a workable OS / Office / Acrobat combo.
What is proper?
View this video from the PDF Association's PDF/UA Competency Center:
http://www.pdfa.org/video/duff-johnson-what-a-pdf-developer-needs-to-know-to-implement-pdf ua-well/
Don't be dissuaded by "implementer" (aka developer).
Fact is that for a while yet it is the "in the trenches" end-users who have to use what is at hand to author and post-process the PDF.
The principles discussed in the video provide the punch list of what needs to be present.

Java, Adobe Acrobat, HP Web Printing, Adobe Contribute, all of which people use world round no longer compatible with Firefox? Maybe it's time to go back to IE.

Firefox used to be the best, now its working against every piece of software i use in the publishing industry. Java is important, so is Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe contribute.
Maybe it is time to kick Firefox to the curb. Firefox is not getting better, it's getting worse. It freezes, it crashes, it's no longer compatible with major programs in the publishing industry.
AND, you guys never answer any of your users. I'm tired of Firefox freezing up. read your freaking forums. Your not making the internet better, I used to have such faith you.

Thanks Mike!
I'm just so frustrated, its bad enough my other laptop wasn't even 2 yrs old
yet and I've spent $800 to have it fixed twice already, this 3rd time I was
DONE... so I moved onto Sony, but this Vista just is making my life a living
hell, I just spent a fortune on the laptop, and now I have to buy Adobe 9
when my adobe 7 isn't even 2 yrs old... ugh... its just very frustrating and
nerve racking and is costing more than I make in a week in this business
(real estate processing)... I should sell Microsoft for a living, I'd be a
millionaire!
My husband's Mac has been through hell and back physically, is 5 yrs old and
we've never had to take it in for any upgrades or issues, its SO easy to
use... why can't Microsoft be the same?!?!
Thanks for your input and for being understanding of my frustration, I bet
you see those often! LOL

Adobe Acrobat 5 not compatible with Windows 8

When I try to open up files saved in Adobe Acrobat 5 my new computer with Windows 8 gives me a message that they are not compatible with Windows 8. What do I need to do to be able to open these files on my new computerwth Windows 8?

Did you install reader or such on Win8? AA5 is not even compatible with Win7, though it can be made to work with work arounds for the 32-bit version. I suspect you also have a 64-bit system, which I think is totally incompatibile with AA5. Download the Reader XI and try to open the PDFs with that. I suspect they will open fine.
If you want to create PDFs, you will need to purchase AA XI.

Is acrobat 9 pro extended compatible with windows 8.1

When switched to Windows 8.1. I loosed my PDF printer and a few more issues came in.
I wonder if Acrobat 9 Pro Extended is not compatible with W 8.1. ????

Only AA XI is certified for use with Win 8.1. That being said, you may still be able to run AA 9 on the new system. However, the updates are likely critical to proper operation, particularly with a 64-bit processor. If you have OFFICE 2010 or newer, you will only be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer. The only full way to find out is to try it, but the updates may be the answer to your printer problem. I thought that AcroTray and the print driver worked in AA 8.1, but have not tried it myself.

Will Acrobat Pro 9 be compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion?

Will Acrobat Pro 9 be be compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion?

Roaring Apps is indeed the source
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table/p/1
The claim on the site is that it was tested on Lion and "does not work properly," which is to say there are major, not minor problems.
I spoke with someone at Adobe today who tells me that version 10.1, or at least a modified version of 10.1 that is Lion compatible will be available when Lion is released.
That leads me to believe neither version 9 nor the current version 10 will run properly under Lion. I do not know the extent of the issues. Since I use Acrobat Pro often, I'm not thrilled with having to upgrade, so I'd love to find out that the Roaring Apps post is incorrect. But there was no indication from my discussion today that the old software would work on the new OS. Quite the opposite.
I did mention that I thought $199 was a steep upgrade cost for making the program work with a Mac OS update that Adobe has had access to for a fair amount of time. Particularly since Apple has made it clear for years that they would be dropping support for coding based on the old Power PC architecture.
