FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine

[Craig Ede]

It's only $400 a pop to upgrade from FM11 to FM12, isn't it? And if your $1000 estimate includes an upgrade for Acrobat, then you might as well just go on and pop the $1200 to upgrade to TCS 5, getting Acrobat and a lot more. (Actually, you can get TCS5 for $1200 upgrading from as far back as FM7).

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

 

 

 

Kind regards,
