Generating a PDF through Adobe Distiller

[Lea Rush]

Hi Mike,

Yes, I know about the official incompatibility of Frame 7 with Vista. Until
my company is able to upgrade, I've managed to kludge along with what I have
to work with. Thanks anyway for the reference.

I attempted to hand-create the proper path for the joboption files in Vista,
but Vista helpfully announces that it will move any folders named "Documents
and Settings" to the C:\Users folder. I may be stuck creating bookmarks by
hand until we can upgrade to Frame 8. 

Thanks again,
Lea

According to the following document, FM versions before v8.0 are not 
supported with Vista.:

Also, could your problem be related to the location of your Distiller 
.joboption files? Acrobat 8, puts them in a different location than previous

Acrobat versions, but FM 7 came out before Acrobat 8. So it still looks in 
the old location. You have to copy the .joboption files to the spot where FM

7.0 looks. Acrobat 8 puts them in "C:\Documents and Settings\All 
Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings" and "C:\Documents and 
Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings." I forget where 
previous Acrobat versions placed the files. Perhaps someone else will chime 
in.
