Hi Frame 7.1p116, Acrobat Pro 7.0.7, Distiller 7.0.7, XP
I am confused about some settings in Distiller and FrameMaker that seem to be the same thing...(recently upgraded to 7.1 from 6.0) 1. In Frame: Format > Document > PDF Setup... > Settings tab - there is a checkbox for "View Generated PDF in Acrobat" 2. In Frame: File > Print Book > [Printer] Setup > Properties [of said printer] > Adobe PDF Settings - there is a checkbox for View Adobe PDF results 3. In our custom .joboptions file, under Advanced, we have check "Allow PostScript file to override Adobe PDF settings". My Distiller preferences have "View PDF when using Distiller" checked. I have never gotten number 1 to stay checked from session to session. Within a session, it's OK. I get number 2 to stay checked, because I set the Adobe PDF printing preferences on the Adobe PDF "printer" itself (Windows: Start > Settings > Printer), and I set the properties of that printer with "View Adobe PDF results". What influence do all these items have on each other? If number 1 never stays checked - is that even a problem when my Adobe PDF is set to always View PDF results? The PDF conversion settings info in the Help was not helpful, and I found nothing in PDF Hacks by Sid Steward that could shed light on this. And nothing in the archives. My manager is trying to set up a set of in-house guidelines for these new versions, and she wants number 1 to be checked. She agrees it is a pain to have to go and set it every single time you want to print. Considering everything else that can be checked, is that number 1 a superfluous checkbox? Thanks in advance regards, Karen Mardahl
