TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
All of a sudden, when I launch Distiller 6.0, the message window says "general parser failer: Error in _____.joboptions" It lists every single set of job options that I have. If I try to open a settings file, I get the message "cannot open C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\....."
It originally started with Acrobat 5.0 the other day, so I took the opportunity to uninstall 5.0 and install Acrobat 6.0 Professional. After the initial uninstallation, I removed any residual Acrobat 5.0 files, ensured that the PDF Writer from 5 was not on my system, etc.
When I installed 6, Distiller started giving me the same errors. The job option files are installed as "read only", therefore I changed that attribute. Still no luck. While PS files seem to distill OK, I really need to be able to adjust the settings.
Here's the relevant configuration information:
Win 2k
Acrobat 6.0 Professional
524 MB RAM
40 GB hard drive (with 5 GB used)
Zodiac sign is Scorpio
I sit under flourescent lights
I like to drink wine
Any ideas? I've stumped everyone here, and I can't find anything in the Adobe documentation or their online forums.
Thanks
