Hi all,
I'm the one that posted the topic <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6575e/0> but seems that noone has a good answer to the problem.

To recap, it's a problem about FrameMaker 7 + FDK 7 + Distiller 5 (i.e. there's an external C++ program that calls the FrameMaker and comands it via FDK). The problem is about saving as PDF, that eventually causes FM to crash (same book, same conditionals -> always crash).

At this point I'm considering to switch to FM 8, FDK 8 and a compatibile Distiller (???) but I don't know how painful that could be.

Does anyone know if:
- books written into FM 7 have to be converted to be used with FM 8
- books written into FM 7 looks the same when printed with FM 8
- the FDK 7's API are compatible with the FDK 8's
- there are overall consideration to be made prior to embark in switching between 7 and 8

Any advice is appreciated, either about solving/inspecting the FM 7 crash, either about the upgrade from 7 to 8.

Thanks for your work,
n3u.
