Re: Distiller 6.0 with FM 7.1

[Peter Gold <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas:

You must be kidding! Do you expect clear and accurate information in a FM
installation message<G>?

"Parallel" here seems to imply Distiller only. I don't know if two
simultaneous Distiller installations can cause the same kind of problems
that two simultaneous Acrobat installations. Since Distiller seems to have
one purpose, converting PS to PDF, it's possible that there's no
interference between versions.

I think a greater problem would be knowing which Distiller version is in use
for background processes.

I'm sure we'll hear from the real "bare metal" Acrobat experts.
