FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine

[Ken Poshedly]

Jeff is right-on, as far as I'm concerned. Definitely install Acrobat before installing FM (making sure to not install the FM PDF creation thingy on top of your existing Acrobat installation).

My own question is if my company should bump up to FM 12 from FM 11 if our deliverables are only pdf files. That's it -- my company is just not concerned with html, etc.

Plus, at $1,000 a pop, Adobe isn't too concerned with pricing itself out of reach of more potential customers. What are the differences between the two versions that we should make the move?

Adding it after the fact should replace the “headless” version, but if it fails, then uninstalling everything, installing Acrobat first and then installing FM next (mindful of the setting to stop the PDF Creator from installing) should get you up and running.
