PDF and Alternatives to Acrobat ... PDFill Editor ???

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Shlomo,

 

Yes, that's true. I apologize for looking beyond the obvious. Thanks for
your insight.

[Unless I am missing something.]

 

FrameMaker has the bundled/integrated "PDF Creation Add-on" (=headless
Distiller). So even if one does not have Acrobat installed, creation of PDFs
from within FrameMaker, with full support for interactive features / pdfmark
processing etc. is available (no less than the creation support available
with Distiller in the full version of Acrobat). [BTW I know of a few
TimeSavers users who installed TimeSavers/Assistants in conjunction with the
PDF Creation Add-on].

 

So the discussion should really be as to alternatives for Acrobat in case
one need to edit/modify PDFs, and not on creation of PDFs authored with
FrameMaker.

Hi everyone,

A while ago, we had this discussion about replacements for Acrobat, from a
FrameMaker perspective. Seemed like not much was available. At the time,
Rick mentioned that any replacement would need to provide support for
PDFmarks PostScript code (if I have that correct). So I wrote off to various
vendors. Most had either never heard of this or do not support it. But one
vendor, PDFill (see below), sent back this link to look at:

http://www.pdfill.com/pdf_batch_command.html#9 

Rick (and others :), I don't know enough to know whether this information
has any connection at all with PDFmarks PostScript code. Would you (anyone
with the expertise) be willing to take a look ... it's quite brief, I think.

 

Thank you kindly,

Elchanan
