What is the optimum way to generate PDF?

[Garnier Garnier]

Hello Framers,
 
I would like to know as to what is the optimum way to generate PDF (300+ FM books with 700 pages (average) each? Many have pointed out that Save As PDF is not the ideal way of converting to pdf. I have automated the process using Framescript. Now I do not have the time to update the script because of my tight schedule. Besides the script includes other process as well.
 
Watch folder is not the optimum way either to me because I have to distill to ps manually.
 
B/R

Subject: RE: AcroPro 9.0 & FM 7.2 - Do they behave well ?
 
 
Our corporate IT people circulated the same rumor about some incompatibility between Acrobat 7.0 and Office 2007 when they were preparing to roll out the MS suite to the whole corporation (>10K users). I was using Acrobat 7.0 at the time and I saw no incompatibility or other issues on my system after upgrading to Office 2007. But the following week I did upgrade to Acrobat 9.0 Pro anyway to maintain parity with my peers and because the cost of the upgrade was automatically pre-approved due to the alleged incompatibility..
 
At that same time, I was still using FrameMaker 7.0, and I saw no compatibility issues of any kind using that Acrobat version with Acrobat 9.0. But I should also point out that I *never* use the Save As PDF command, which requires the highest level of compatibility between FM and Acrobat.
 
According to my personal experience (admittedly a single data point), you may not need to upgrade to Acrobat 9.0, but if you do you should not have any serious issues using it with FrameMaker, with the possible exception fo Save As PDF, which is not the optimum way to generate PDF in any case.
