[Framers] Acrobat question

[Ken Poshedly]

 Thanks Art.

No updates available.

However, last night (Sunday), I spoke with my own local computer guru who I go to when all else has failed. After much discussion, he walked me through the procedure to disable spooling in Acrobat, which once more allows me to print a FrameMaker file to the Adobe PDF "printer" to get a postscript file.

I ran "Repair Acrobat Installation" in the Help tab this morning like you advised, but don't know if doing that actually did anything because, as I said above, I had already disabled spooling.

I still don't know how all of this happened in the first place.

But thanks once more for the good advice.

 First, see if there are any Acrobat updates pending. (Help menu)
And while you're on the tab, see if there's a Repair Installation, which I
think would be less painful/risky than a reinstall.
