Yes, I'm aware of the TimeSavers, even though I haven't used
the product or seen a presentation. The problem is that we had
a stable and predictable environment in our workgroup with
Windows NT and FM 5.5, so that we got consistent results when
producing PDFs etc. We are now slowly upgrading to new machines
with Windows 2000, FM 5.5.6 or FM 6, etc. Until we all reach a
new stable environment, problems like these are irritating and
hard to find, understand and correct.

I'm sure TimeSavers could help us, but it's sometimes difficult
to advocate the purchase of new software, or travelling to
conferences, workshops or lectures, simply based on "rumours"
or recommendations by other framers. I would have hoped there
was some simple explanation and workaround to these problems...

All this shows that Adobe has a long way to go before PDF
creation is as simple, fast and powerful it really should be.
I think that Schlomo Perets share this view and makes a nice
profit because of it :-)
