SP TimeSavers, FrameMaker Edition, Version 5.5 (compatible
with FrameMaker 8.x and Acrobat 5-8.x) | Version 5.2
(compatible with FrameMaker 5-7.x and Acrobat 5-8.x)
Single license: US$200. Upgrade from previous TimeSavers versions:
$75.
In addition to full compatibility with FrameMaker 8.0, TimeSavers
5.5 provides a fix for the cross-file
linking issue introduced in FrameMaker 8.0, where the Unicode-encoded
filename causes links in web-based PDFs (or when PDFs are viewed
with earlier Acrobat/Reader versions) to be non-functional.

Acrobat 8.1 update: In order to support TimeSavers/Assistants
functionality after upgrading to Distiller 8.1, you must create
a shortcut that will start Distiller with the -F flag.
This enables Distiller 8.1 to handle file operations (blocked
by default in this version).
Note that after upgrading to Acrobat 8.1, you will no longer
be able to use FrameMaker's "Save as PDF" command with
TimeSavers settings.
In FrameMaker 8.0p266, the "Save as PDF" command starts
Distiller 8.1 with the -F flag, and can therefore be
used in conjunction with TimeSavers
An easy way to set up Distiller 8.1 with the -F flag
is by creating a desktop shortcut, as follows:
- Click the Show Desktop icon (or press Windows key+D) to change
the view so that you see the desktop.
- Right-click a vacant location in the desktop, and select
New > Shortcut.
- Under "Type the location of the item:", type the
following:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\acrodist.exe"
-F
- Click Next, and type a name for the shortcut, such as Distiller
-F
- Click Finish.
- Drag the newly created shortcut to Windows Start button,
and release it in the desired menu.
To use TimeSavers, selected the new item from the Start menu
or double-click the Distiller shortcut (so that it is started
with the -F flag). Optionally, modify the shortcut (right click
it, Shortcut tab, Shortcut key), so that it has a Ctrl-Alt-key
combination associated with it.
