Frame 7.1/Acrobat 9: unable to generate PS or save as PDF

Did you install both Acrobat and the PDF creation add-on that comes with 
FrameMaker? If so, that's probably your problem. They cannot coexist. 
You also should not have a version of Adobe Reader on the same computer 
as Acrobat 9. So uninstall Acrobat, Adobe Reader, and FrameMaker, then 
reinstall only your Acrobat 9 and FrameMaker. DO NOT reinstall 
FrameMaker's PDF creation add-on or Adobe Reader.

Then, _printing to_ Adobe PDF should work fine, but _Save As_ will not. 
If I recall correctly, as of v. 7.0 or 8.0, Acrobat  moved the storage 
location of certain files and FrameMaker 7.1's Save As feature still 
helplessly looks for them in the old location.
