I need to find a path in locating to repair what is there, or to get a fresh 5.0 or 7.0 download with PS and DistĬan anyone assist?. He's a dear old friend and upgrades to modern indesign are pretty much out of the question now.Īnd the almost 1000 page book, orphan page settings, margins, margin notes, etc become lost or, where can I get 5.0 Postscript and Distiller to get him rolling?

to reinstall/repair itself without asking for keys, or able to locate the keys on his machine before doing reinstall Is there a way, with the files existing in a normal install, currently on his machine Searching Adobe forums, links to download acrobat 5.0 are all removed/brokenĪnd many spam sites with virus downloads exist I believe the acrobat 5.0 with distiller was the operational path and adobe2017 may not have been successful, as it seems the process PM uses to hit first Postscript then Distiller may or may not be the same. I and looking at the many adobe installs and tries in 2017 can not locateĪs on my tests, it appears Pagemaker looks FIRST for postscript install, then jumps to distiller I could assume, ok, so let's reinstall acrobat 5.0(having distiller) or adobe2017(having distiller in it's folders) I could assume that something disconnected or some file modified. On his machine adobe acrobat 5.0 was installed pre 2017 and adobe 2017 was installed in 2017 On his Windows 7 postscript connection, possibly distiller as well seems to have vanished. Pagemaker was then looking for Distiller installation in order to complete the PDF process When I emmulated on another computer, if I got past that, (on a windows 10) It says Postscript file must be installed. In the past 2 weeks, something changed and he no longer can print PDF Occassionally, a typo or adjustment is requested for a reprintĪh, and to add, he has Windows 7 with little likelyhood of changing. Exactly as he wanted, for years, and would send the pdf to his printer.

They would click the PDF icon and viola, the very complexly formatted pages went to pdf. I have an older collegue, that authored a book many years ago in Pagemaker.
