FM9 and 3D images in PDFs
Hi Alison, Right Hemisphere had a plug-in for FM that allowed for the importation of 3D objects that could then be manipulated in PDF. The client was called Deep View and you could take CAD files and drop them into the FM file. This explains the process: http://righthemisphere.com/support/kb/index.php?action=article&id=1332&relid=5 I don't know if the plug-in is still being supported in FM and you might also need additional support in Acrobat. Probably you would need at least version 9 of Acrobat too. Here is info about PDF publishing with Deep Exploration: http://www.righthemisphere.com/support/help/pmi/pdfp_release_notes.html HIH Alan On 17/02/2011, at 8:30 AM, Alison Craig wrote: > I didn't actually get an error, just static images. > > Alison > From: Steve Johnson [mailto:chinaski69 at gmail.com] > Sent: February 16, 2011 11:20 AM > To: Alison Craig > Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com > Subject: Re: FM9 and 3D images in PDFs > > What error did you get during the distill? > > > > On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 1:11 PM, Alison Craig > wrote: > FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 > Unstructured > OS: Windows 7, 64 bit (brand new machine) > FM Experience: 22 months > > > Mechanical, Manufacturing, Service and Tech Comm personnel are > talking to a supplier about a new piece of software called 3DVia > Composer.

Hi, I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7. Do you know if Adobe Professional 7 works under Windows 7? A msg is popping up when I use Adobe Professional 7 saying that something has changed, and pops up a Register dialog box. I click to register and a msg displays error creating file, and this all starts again. Any ideas or similar experiences?

A SWAG: You probably have to run the program as an Administrator, or disable user access checking. I find this is needed for some Adobe programs in Windows 7 ... for example, I have to run FrameMaker as the Administrator just so some plug-ins can update a file in the installation tree folder. Since I have administrator rights on my laptop, I have not bothered to explore any simpler solution.

I assume he means Adobe Acrobat Professional 7. Given it was released in 2005 and is now 3 versions behind the current version, I doubt it works with Windows 7 and it's doubtful that Adobe is supporting it with an update. You can ask them, but honestly, I'd upgrade to Acrobat X.

If you have UAC enabled, try starting Acrobat as administrator. I had a similar problem (minus the error) with Illustrator and that did the trick.
