Problems with PDF creation since Windows update

2012-05-30 Thread Laura Fergusson
Has anyone else had problems with creating PDFs from Framemaker since the weekend? There appear to have been 3 Windows updates on Sunday evening and since then I can't Save as PDF. I'm using Frame 8 on Windows 7. I am now resorting to trying to save as a ps and then distilling, like I used to

Search/Find on all files in a book - does it still have problems?

There used to be a bug in FM 7.2 whereby doing a search (Find) or Find/Replace on all files in a book could cause a FM crash if all of the component files of the book weren't open at the time of the search. If you had any of the chapter files open and dirty (changed but not saved) at the time

I may have stumbled on this problem as well, although I am now completely confused. On Monday, I tried to install the Acrobat 10 trial and had issues as I didn't uninstall Acrobat 9 first. After I uninstalled Acrobat 10 and repaired the Acrobat 9 installation, I could no longer do anything

Thanks, that solved part of my problem as Print Book can at least see the Adobe PDF printer again, but it still won't recognize any joboption files. Does anyone know where FrameMaker looks for joboptions? I'll copy them in manually if I have to - although I can't figure out why they would go

One other piece of information... When I try Save as PDF I get the following message: To execute Save as PDF command you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed. When I open Distiller and look, the About Box says I'm using Distiller version 9.5.1283. Alison From:

Thanks for the suggestion Roman. I was just about to start doing that when I tried the PDF creation just one last time. And you’ve guessed it, it worked. Seems that installing another PDF creation tool has fixed something... Sigh. At least it’s working again. Laura From: Roman Banks

Alison and Laura, I had an issue with Win 7 64-bit, FM 9, and Acrobat X. Win 7 32-bit prints fine. Performing the following steps resolves the error for me. Although I had previously cleared this option in Printing Preferences, the solution seems to be clearing this option in the

Sounds like FrameMaker has lost track of Acrobat 9. You probably need to reinstall or repair Acrobat. On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 10:47 AM, Alison Craig alison.cr...@ultrasonix.com wrote: When I try Save as PDF I get the following message: To execute Save as PDF command you must have Acrobat
