I cannot sympathize. I have not experienced this
problem at all. I create PDFs using FM 7 almost daily,
and every one of them comes out beautifully with all
the features turned on that I tell it to.
I can understand you're frustrated, but this is
definitely not normal FM behavior. Somethign is amiss
in your situation.
I e-mailed you earlier asking for specifics on your
setup, including the order in which everything was
installed. If you would like help in troubleshooting
your problem, please provide this information to me
and to the others who have offered you assistance.
Otherwise you're just blowing steam, which is human
and mentally helpful, but not productive.
