Adobe Acrobat Reader is a different product--installing it has nothing at all to do with Distiller or creating PDFs.

FM 6 is not the answer. It has Distiller 4.x--you don't want that.

Do this:

1) Uninstall Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Distiller, FrameMaker, and even Acrobat if you have it.

2) Then, reinstall FrameMaker 7 using a Typical installation. At the end of the FrameMaker 7 installation, you'll be prompted to install Distiller (or Distiller printer), install it.

Distiller should be on your PC at this point.

3) Then, reinstall Acrobat (if you have it) or Acrobat Reader (if you don't have Acrobat).

Alternatively, in D:\FM\DISTILLR\ENU (on your FM 7 CD), you can install Distiller manually by double-clicking Setup.exe.

HOWEVER, I'm not sure whether this process will install the Distiller printer or not. You will need the Distiller printer. So, I'd say the uninstallation/resinstallation stuff is more error-free.

Cheers,

Sean
