I'm using FM 7.2 and Acro 9. I found only a couple of small problems. It's been a while, so I've forgotten the details, but IIRC, the location where Acro 9 installs and expects to find the *.joboptions files is different, so I had to get my custom ones into the proper location. (I believe I now have a complete set of *.joboptions in 3 or 4 different locations, as Adobe seems to keep shifting those.) 

The other issue is when printing to PDF. If I select File > Print with Adobe PDF as the printer, instead of prompting me for a file name and location, it seems to print to the bit bucket. Save As PDF works, as does printing to a file using Adobe PDF as the printer. I'm sure this can be fixed somehow, but I generally use Save As PDF, so it hasn't been a priority for me. 

HTH!
