WAS: FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine

[Jeff Coatsworth]

Well, one of the main things I’m looking for in going from FM11 to FM12 is the fix for the fatal crashes that I get from using the scroll wheel on my mouse in conjunction with the xrefs panel. That’s #1 for me – I usually blow up once a day with that one. The second feature that I’m looking forward to is the “remember where everything was left” feature that allows you to exit out of FM and then pick up right where you left off when you start it back up again – I usually have 4 or 5 docs open at one time & remembering where I left off from the prior week gets really challenging.

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?

When FM is installed standalone, a “headless” PDF Creator version is installed to be able to generate PDFs out of FM. This can sometimes clobber existing installs of Acrobat. 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.

Good morning all,

I am hoping to add Adobe Acrobat to my FM 12 installation soon.

I was just wondering about best practice regarding this.

I assume it is recommended to use Acrobat rather than say a cheaper PDF editor , like Foxit?

Also, could someone explain what happens when Acrobat is co-installed, in terms of any effect on  the normal PDF creation within FM? Do I need to be aware of any issues?

Thanks in advance,

Denis
