FM Crash chapter 4 page 5

Wed Jun 4 11:51:36 PDT 2008

Art,

I am utterly flabbergasted! This worked. Thanks.

In the early times of FM7.2 and/or Acrobat6 or 7 (IIRC), crashes were
bound to happen if the Generate Tagged PDF" was not set.
And now Dov tells us that another "must" has to be the other way
around. I am referring to the language level setting in EPS made from
AI.

This is a weird day.
I hope this will stick for some time. I would hate to wake up
tomorrow, finding out that the things that worked today will not or
that there is something else that I have been doing "right" for years
must be done the other way around. :-(

It is time for "my tea" as the Englishmen say, so I am going home now.

Thanks to everyone that helped -- or tried to.

One final word to Adobe: Please make effort to make FM stable in
handling all sorts of situation. I am really getting tired of the all
to frequent surprises.
