PS to PDF (Distiller) Error

[Shlomo Perets]

The PDF Setup you have at the book level may be overridden by some 
chapters. This sometimes also happens with bookmarks, where Hn-TOC items in 
the Table of Contents are carried over as bookmarks, even though not 
selected at the book level.

In your book, select all chapters but do not select the top title line, 
then select Format > PDF Setup and change settings as needed. Recreate the 
.ps and distill, and all should be OK.

Turn off "Generate Tagged PDF" in FrameMaker's PDF Setup dialog box, Tags tab;
recreate the .ps and distill again.

Bleed off the page

Hi Drew... yes, it's quite easy. Work out the visual dimension of the object 
you want to bleed, *add* the bleed to it, and draw that on the master. Position 
it flush to the edge of the page, and then nudge the graphic off the page by an 
amount equal to the size of the bleed.

If you cut PDF onto a larger 'paper' size than your FrameMaker page, and turn 
on trims, you should be able to see the bleeds to check their size and 
positioning.

PDF comments hiding in FM...

[Art Campbell]

No, I haven't tried looping it like that yet, but I bet it'll work.
Flattening and saving in another format works, but I was hoping to
keep the comments alive, so they could be modified on the fly.

Thanks!

Can't print from Frame

[Art Campbell]

To amplify Dov's analysis... if you look at the Xerox spec pages for
the 45, they make a subtle point of saying that it uses a PostScript 3
EMULATOR. Not true Adobe PostScript.

As a result of fighting with emulators for years on a variety of H-P
and other Xerox printers, I think that it's a pretty safe bet that the
printer will get squirrely at other interesting times, especially when
printing clean but complex PS code that confuses the emulator.

PDF comments hiding in FM...

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Art:

Have you tried printing the PDF document with comments, from Acrobat, to 
the Distiller printer? There are several options for 
comment-with-document layouts. Import the one you like to FrameMaker.

FrameMaker doesn't give you control over Acrobat layers; InDesign does, 
but I haven't experimented with the comment layers in InDesign...yet!

PDF comments hiding in FM...

[Art Campbell]

I have a PDF in a FM file imported by reference. Although it contains
several comments (callouts, highlighting, etc.) they don't display in
FM. I know they're on a different layer in the PDF, but I was figuring
if they're visible, they're visible all the time.

I'm going to try opening it in Photoshop and maybe flattening it, but
does anyone have an idea how to make them display in FM? I'd like to
keep them "live."

XP SP2
FM 7.2
Acrobat 8

PS to PDF (Distiller) Error

[John Pilla]

OKay tried that, as well. 
Also tried saving the identified file as MIF, and resaving as FM.

I've got a deadline for the PDF, 
so for now, as a temporary solution, 
I will have to PDF ea file, and then put them back together as one PDF 
using Acrobat.

PS to PDF (Distiller) Error

[John Pilla]

Page 226 & 227 is page 3 & 4 of Chapter 7 (of 8 with two appendices, front 
matter, and a TOC).
I can distill chapter 7 separately and successfully create a PDF.

There are no graphics. on those pages. 
there is however; A cross-reference, which I will delete and recreate, and 
try again.

What does page 296 (or maybe 297) contain? Maybe a graphic in EPS or
PDF format, or a Visio imported as an OLE object?

Might want to check and see if there's a problem with the graphic; if
you can distill without it present. Or just try to distill that page.

It doesn't give you an error message, it gives you a prompt asking if
you want to convert the file you're opening to your newer version's
file format. If you do, and if you save the file, then it works in
your newer version the next time you open it. The conversion only
needs to be done once.

Good try, but absolutely groundless. The "optimize for

with some applications, FrameMaker NOT being among them,
that injected their own PostScript into the driver's output
stream improperly, interfering with the current graphics
state of the PostScript job. It also makes a bit of a
difference how fonts and procedure definitions (what you

into the job, but certainly not how they are used.

If in fact, use of the "optimize for portability" option
causes something to print that doesn't otherwise print

traif EPS file (EPS file improperly constructed, not

WEBINAR: ZD Media/Xerox on Document Management [April 12]

[Grant Hogarth]

Apologies to those who've already heard about this.
Grant

-Original Message-

Remember the paperless office? How all documents would be created,
distributed, and viewed electronically? Well even though that never
happened - and in most likelihood never will, there are still huge
benefits to be reaped by taking an intelligent approach to document
management - from creation to "recycling". 

Attend this educational eSeminar sponsored by Xerox to learn how you can
take control of your documents - both print and electronic - and bring
the content in your documents to life - activating that content to help
streamline business processes, and integrated what's in those documents
into databases and other 'structured' data stores. 

Hear from experts at Xerox' famous Palo Alto Research Center (PARC),
home of innovations like the graphical user interface and the computer
mouse, about what you should know and what you can do today to better
integrate documents and the unstructured data they contain into your
business flow, and what best practices you can adopt to help reduce the
TCO of your business documents while improving employee productivity in
the process. 

Will your document management get stuck with 19th Century methods?
Register now to attend this interactive event - and bring your questions
for our panel of experts. Your inbox will thank you.

FrameMaker deals on eBay...

[Alan Houser]

Just a follow-up to Scott's note -- Adobe's FrameMaker upgrade policy is 
one of the most liberal that I've seen from a major software company. 
You can purchase FrameMaker 7.2 for Windows at the upgrade price of $199 
USD if you have _any_ previous version of FrameMaker or FrameMaker+SGML 
(the UNIX price is slightly higher).

Adobe has publicly stated that a new release of FrameMaker will be 
available this year. If the new version is a major release (e.g., 
FrameMaker 8.0), one can speculate that the upgrade price may be 
substantially higher. As a data point, the upgrade price for FrameMaker 
7.0 was approximately $400 USD.

PDF comments hiding in FM...

[Art Campbell]

I have a PDF in a FM file imported by reference. Although it contains
several comments (callouts, highlighting, etc.) they don't display in
FM. I know they're on a different layer in the PDF, but I was figuring
if they're visible, they're visible all the time.

I'm going to try opening it in Photoshop and maybe flattening it, but
does anyone have an idea how to make them display in FM? I'd like to
keep them "live."

XP SP2
FM 7.2
Acrobat 8

Thanks,
Art

Re: PS to PDF (Distiller) Error

[John Pilla]

OKay tried that, as well. 
Also tried saving the identified file as MIF, and resaving as FM.

I've got a deadline for the PDF, 
so for now, as a temporary solution, 
I will have to PDF ea file, and then put them back together as one PDF 
using Acrobat.

The PDF Setup you have at the book level may be overridden by some 
chapters. This sometimes also happens with bookmarks, where Hn-TOC items 
in 
the Table of Contents are carried over as bookmarks, even though not 
selected at the book level.

In your book, select all chapters but do not select the top title line, 
then select Format > PDF Setup and change settings as needed. Recreate the 

.ps and distill, and all should be OK.

WEBINAR: ZD Media/Xerox on Document Management [April 12]

[Grant Hogarth]

Apologies to those who've already heard about this.
Grant

-Original Message-

Remember the paperless office? How all documents would be created,
distributed, and viewed electronically? Well even though that never
happened - and in most likelihood never will, there are still huge
benefits to be reaped by taking an intelligent approach to document
management - from creation to "recycling". 

Attend this educational eSeminar sponsored by Xerox to learn how you can
take control of your documents - both print and electronic - and bring
the content in your documents to life - activating that content to help
streamline business processes, and integrated what's in those documents
into databases and other 'structured' data stores. 

Hear from experts at Xerox' famous Palo Alto Research Center (PARC),
home of innovations like the graphical user interface and the computer
mouse, about what you should know and what you can do today to better
integrate documents and the unstructured data they contain into your
business flow, and what best practices you can adopt to help reduce the
TCO of your business documents while improving employee productivity in
the process. 

Will your document management get stuck with 19th Century methods?
Register now to attend this interactive event - and bring your questions
for our panel of experts. Your inbox will thank you.

Re: PS to PDF (Distiller) Error

[John Pilla]

Page 226 & 227 is page 3 & 4 of Chapter 7 (of 8 with two appendices, front 
matter, and a TOC).
I can distill chapter 7 separately and successfully create a PDF.

There are no graphics. on those pages. 
there is however; A cross-reference, which I will delete and recreate, and 
try again.

What does page 296 (or maybe 297) contain? Maybe a graphic in EPS or
PDF format, or a Visio imported as an OLE object?

Might want to check and see if there's a problem with the graphic; if
you can distill without it present. Or just try to distill that page.

Moving book sections to nested folders without losing X refs

[Art Campbell]

Well, first, don't use Explorer.

You may want to use Bruce Foster's Archive plug in to make a safe copy
of the book(s) and all the component parts before you begin.

To do the actual move, open the book files and use the Rename File
tool to rename the component/chapter files, one by one, into the new
folder(s). If you do it this way, cross-refs and such should be
maintained.

Hmmm ... I have, in the past, not been able to get those version 5.5
templates to work in recent versions of FrameMaker. When I run the
executable files, it gives me errors about the version of FrameMaker
that I am using!

So, how do I make them work for me? Is there another source for these
for recent versions of FrameMaker?

RE: FrameMaker deals on eBay...

More Words of Wisdom from Dov.

Several years ago a guy scammed me with a FrameMaker
sale via Ebay.  I learned that Adobe was looking for
him for previous scams.

It doesn't give you an error message, it gives you a prompt asking if
you want to convert the file you're opening to your newer version's
file format. If you do, and if you save the file, then it works in
your newer version the next time you open it. The conversion only
needs to be done once.

RE: FrameMaker deals on eBay...

[Chris Borokowski]

Good point. Software showing up in droves on eBay, of
a particular package, reflects *a belief* that a new
version is coming soon as merchants clear out their
stock. The guys who show up to computer shows and hawk
their wares on PriceWatch are the ones I'm thinking
of, and a few of them here in H-town have been offer
specials on FrameMaker recently.

(As an aside, they should rename eBay "caveat emptor"
and I never buy software there.)

Thanks for the heads up, Dov!

FrameMaker deals on eBay...

[Chris Borokowski]

Good point. Software showing up in droves on eBay, of
a particular package, reflects *a belief* that a new
version is coming soon as merchants clear out their
stock. The guys who show up to computer shows and hawk
their wares on PriceWatch are the ones I'm thinking
of, and a few of them here in H-town have been offer
specials on FrameMaker recently.

(As an aside, they should rename eBay "caveat emptor"
and I never buy software there.)

Thanks for the heads up, Dov!

FrameMaker deals on eBay...

[Bruce Wolf]

More Words of Wisdom from Dov.

Several years ago a guy scammed me with a FrameMaker
sale via Ebay.  I learned that Adobe was looking for
him for previous scams.

'Nuff Said?

Make no such assumption, especially when dealing with
eBay. The prices mentioned reflect (1) someone has
genuine product obtained illicitly - use your imagination,
(2) copied CDs with either a "cracked" software version
or stolen serial serial number, or (3) ...
Remember that prices that are too good to be true are the
best indicators of fraud of some type.

Just a follow-up to Scott's note -- Adobe's FrameMaker upgrade policy is 
one of the most liberal that I've seen from a major software company. 
You can purchase FrameMaker 7.2 for Windows at the upgrade price of $199 
USD if you have _any_ previous version of FrameMaker or FrameMaker+SGML 
(the UNIX price is slightly higher).


Adobe has publicly stated that a new release of FrameMaker will be 
available this year. If the new version is a major release (e.g., 
FrameMaker 8.0), one can speculate that the upgrade price may be 
substantially higher. As a data point, the upgrade price for FrameMaker 
7.0 was approximately $400 USD.

If that directory isn't on your system, go to the Adobe FrameMaker

old releases, like 5.5 or so. They're all worth downloading, but the
sample is in Template pack #1, I think.


Hmmm ... I have, in the past, not been able to get those version 5.5

So, how do I make them work for me? Is there another source for these

Hi Drew... yes, it's quite easy. Work out the visual dimension of the object 
you want to bleed, *add* the bleed to it, and draw that on the master. Position 
it flush to the edge of the page, and then nudge the graphic off the page by an 
amount equal to the size of the bleed.

If you cut PDF onto a larger 'paper' size than your FrameMaker page, and turn 
on trims, you should be able to see the bleeds to check their size and 
positioning.

Re: Moving book sections to nested folders without losing X refs

[Art Campbell]

Well, first, don't use Explorer.

You may want to use Bruce Foster's Archive plug in to make a safe copy
of the book(s) and all the component parts before you begin.

To do the actual move, open the book files and use the Rename File
tool to rename the component/chapter files, one by one, into the new
folder(s). If you do it this way, cross-refs and such should be
maintained.

RE: Can't print from Frame

[Dov Isaacs]

Tina,

Bubbamisa!

Good try, but absolutely groundless. The "optimize for
portability" hack was put into the Windows driver to deal
with some applications, FrameMaker NOT being among them,
that injected their own PostScript into the driver's output
stream improperly, interfering with the current graphics
state of the PostScript job. It also makes a bit of a 
difference how fonts and procedure definitions (what you
are calling "a shorthand version of PostScript" are put 
into the job, but certainly not how they are used.

If in fact, use of the "optimize for portability" option
causes something to print that doesn't otherwise print
from FrameMaker, you are dealing with either (1) a very 
traif EPS file (EPS file improperly constructed, not 
following the rules for EPS files), (2) an otherwise terribly
misconfigured printer driver or print itself or (3) a very 
crufty PostScript RIP / printer.

I got that part fine, but the tabs stop at the edge of the page. is 
there a way to make the tabs larger than the page size for bleed 
purposes? I am sure it is something rather simple, but for the life 
of me, I can't figure it out.
