RE: PDF error
Hello Don, I had a similar issue - one book refused to print to PDf on one PC while printing OK on the other. Although I still don't understand why, the solution was in the set up of the Adobe PDf printer. In the printer settings, tab 'Adobe PDF Settings' there is an option named 'Rely on system fonts only; ' Unchecking this box solved the problem. FM doen't use document fonts, so there's no logic but somehow this setting removed the error. I guess it has to do with conflicting font names.

Re: PDF Error: A number is out of range
Nancy, You wrote: We're using Frame 8 and Acrobat 9.0 Pro . When I save a book to PDF, Acrobat reports the following error: A number is out of range. Has anyone experienced this? How do I fix it? I encountered this problem in a PDF produced using the combination of FM8 + Acrobat 8 + Save as PDF. The number is out of range message is displayed upon opening the PDF in Acrobat/Reader. Upon inspecting the Initial View settings in Acrobat (under Initial View), an excessively large number was displayed to the right of the Open to Page box (1234567890). It turned out that the Fit Width setting for the At Zoom option in FrameMaker's PDF Settings dialog box (+Save as PDF) was consistently responsible for the strange value and the related error. When choosing a value of Default or Fit Page, the PDF was produced correctly. This problem was not encountered when printing to a .PS file and distilling.

FM8: Imported png is cut off
Dear all, I have a problem when importing (large) png files into an anchored frame: they are cut off at the bottom when creating a pdf from the file. See http://daube.ch/z_temp/Import-problem-png.zip System information: XP SP2, 3GB RAM, 3GHz, all partitions used 70%, Dual monitor (19201200, 12801024) FM 8.0p277 int-engl, FS 5.1R3p210 Creating a PDF form the various png files and importing a page of that pdf yields a correct pdf for the FM file. I can not see a special property in the png file(s) in question. I never had a problem with smaller (presented on max 1/2 page) of png files.

cross book cross-references
Regarding cross-references that span across books. BACKGROUND I reviewed framer archives and I'm able to create functioning cross-references in the resulting PDF files. For example, a cross-reference in myBook1.pdf can find its target inside of myBook2.pdf. PROBLEM But... this only works when generating the PDFs from FrameMaker. Are there any WebWorks Automap users who use this feature? When I generate the PDFs with Automap, the cross-references attempt to find their targets in the individual chapter files instead of in the generated book file. For example, a cross reference in myBook1.pdf attempts to find its target inside myChapter2.pdf, which does not exist (because it is generated inside myBook2.pdf).

Printing to a .pdf
Greg, Excuse me if I am a little confused here. When you say you are running XP as a guest on a MacBook Pro are you saying you are running XP under emulation, via BootCamp, or as a RDC client? And when you say you need to connect to a postscript printer on the 'system', which 'system' are you referring to? The MacBook or XP? There are different solutions depending on the answers above, as an example, if you are using RDC you can use the local (MacBook) printers by: 1. In RDC, when you have made a connection, select RDC > Preferences 2. Click on the Printers button/tab 3. Select the local printer you want to print to, e.g. Adobe PDF. HIH Alan Greg.

If not, I think you need to. It comes with FM and will enable, for example, Press Quality settings that a desktop laser printer driver may not. I know nothing about "GCC BLP Elite v52.3" but it appears to me that it provides desktop laser support only and may not be able to address colour and resolution requirements for press-ready output.

Printing Error
Angela, You write that you're working off a server. Perhaps the path to the images in question is broken or was changed. If the image is in by reference, make sure that the image's location is accessible from the server, or else change the location. If the images are embedded, perhaps they're draining too much memory.
