RE: Slightly OT: Frame 10 landscape pages not recognised in
Hi Lea, Regarding your message below, this was a problem in FM 5,and maybe FM6. If I'm not wrong, this was fixed in FM 7 - if not FM7 then definitely by FM8. I use it now (FM8) and it works fine- in fact, for some things I do - SAVE AS PDF is the preferred way to print. Have a great day! Orly. == Hi Art, Sadly, regardless of the fact that Adobe has owned both Frame and Acrobat for quite a while, the collective wisdom on this list is that ?Save as PDF? should not be used. Ever. Many folks have posted problems with this feature ranging across four versions of Frame that I know of, and I?m a relative newcomer. A few people have posted that it works for them, and more power to them. For myself, I?ve given up ever even attempting it.

Re: Slightly OT: Frame 10 landscape pages not recognised in Acrobat X
Good day everyone, As I understand it, the main problem with Save as PDF has always been what you have defined as your Default Printer. If it was anything other than Adobe PDF, then you had no end of problems. It was my understanding that with Frame 7, Save as PDF would automatically use the Adobe PDF print definitions and thus work as advertised. I've never had a problem with it, maybe because my Default Printer under Frame is always Adobe PDF. As always, YMMV.

Re: Slightly OT: Frame 10 landscape pages not recognised in Acrobat X
Hi! And yet for me, documents that rendered correctly for some time (going from FrameMaker 9 to PDF by printing to postscript (.ps) files) no longer show just one graphic I need on my title page. So I have to save that file as PDF to get the graphic to come across and then add that page to my PDF of the rest of the book. It's annoying (and time-consuming) that something that worked well before no longer works in a newer version of the application. I've been an avid FrameMaker user since FrameMaker 3 days...

RE: Slightly OT: Frame 10 landscape pages not recognized in Acrobat X
I just finished an 800-page catalog using save as PDF. It was suggested to use this option since we were running four-color. Well it worked and didn't. It took all of our color .tif images and .eps images and rendered them correctly. My pantone colors for section bleed tabs, all but one, came out as spot color and had to be converted at the printer. My Helvetica fraction fonts got substituted and I had two process the files again, the same way, and they came out with the correct fonts. Spent WAY too much time fixing files. Also, when I ran the index my page numbers came out backwards in some cases. As an example -- 546-548, 13-18, 20 -- instead of in order. Frame 9 has really steered me back to my old MAC, running classic and Frame 7. That was consistent and results were as expected.

Re: Slightly OT: Frame 10 landscape pages not recognised in Acrobat X
Hi, I am outside the proposed »collective wisdom on this list is that “Save as PDF” should not be used«. There are quite a few people using this and in automated processes it is one of the best options. Those people just don’t speak up. What is a fact for FrameMaker 9 and 10: The so-called »pristine CMYK output« is not working as advertised in so many situations that it is common wisdom to recommend _selecting_ the »Convert CMYK to RGB« checkbox (and thus switching to the behavior of earlier versions). Because the Print to File process always works this way (converting CMYK to RGB) it may appear as if this would be the cure for printing problems. Debra, what you describe is really awkward and apparently not connected to the CMYK issues, since you print to file. I don’t understand exactly what you experience. It seems you imported a graphic on your title page that used to be converted to PDF easily with older versions of FrameMaker but not so with FrameMaker 10...? Could you please share a little bit more information, like the format of the graphic and using which tools it was created? Maybe even the graphic? - Michael Am 15.03.2011 um 18:22 schrieb Debra Laroche: Hi!

Debar, recently I had the situation with a client that some graphic that was working OK in FrameMaker 7 and earlier started to make problems in FrameMaker 8+. The problem was a unusual encoding of some string inside that EPS file, which came from FreeHand 3 or something else from the last century. Resaving the EPS file in a current product version was the cure. Maybe you can just re-save that TIF image using a current version of an image editor and make sure to save it without LZW compression (this makes it harder for apps to deal with the file) or anything that reads JPG (this reduces quality). If the TIF is CMYK you could also try with converting to RGB. Try one thing at a time, so you/we know what was the source of the problem.

Splitting tables across a page break: FM 8
Hi All,
In unstructured FM8, if I have a table that might split across a page break if
new content is added above it, is there a way that I can have a line of text
e.g., ...continued inserted conditionally after the last entry on the page,
before the break? Ideally, I would like to do this {whatever} with all table
formats that are defined in my template.
Any ideas welcome.

I've never had a problem with it, maybe because my Default Printer under Frame is always Adobe PDF. As always, YMMV.

Slightly OT: Frame 10 landscape pages not recognised in Acrobat X
Hi, I am outside the proposed ?collective wisdom on this list is that ?Save as PDF? should not be used?. There are quite a few people using this and in automated processes it is one of the best options. Those people just don?t speak up. What is a fact for FrameMaker 9 and 10: The so-called ?pristine CMYK output? is not working as advertised in so many situations that it is common wisdom to recommend _selecting_ the ?Convert CMYK to RGB? checkbox (and thus switching to the behavior of earlier versions). Because the Print to File process always works this way (converting CMYK to RGB) it may appear as if this would be the cure for printing problems. Debra, what you describe is really awkward and apparently not connected to the CMYK issues, since you print to file. I don?t understand exactly what you experience. It seems you imported a graphic on your title page that used to be converted to PDF easily with older versions of FrameMaker but not so with FrameMaker 10...? Could you please share a little bit more information, like the format of the graphic and using which tools it was created? Maybe even the graphic? - Michael Am 15.03.2011 um 18:22 schrieb Debra Laroche: > Hi! > > And yet for me, documents that rendered correctly for some time (going from > FrameMaker 9 to PDF by printing to postscript (.ps) files) no longer show > just one graphic I need on my title page.

I try to speak up about this occasionally ... :) For me, "Save as PDF" works well (perhaps better?) and have said so a few times in the past. My only usual problems is when upgrading FM or Acrobat. I have to do one or two experiments (with the Acrobat setup) to prevent FM from crashing. After that, all is well till the next software "upgrade". Maybe my setups are simply different in some way? I don't know ... Z

Debar, recently I had the situation with a client that some graphic that was working OK in FrameMaker 7 and earlier started to make problems in FrameMaker 8+. The problem was a unusual encoding of some string inside that EPS file, which came from FreeHand 3 or something else from the last century. Resaving the EPS file in a current product version was the cure. Maybe you can just re-save that TIF image using a current version of an image editor and make sure to save it without LZW compression (this makes it harder for apps to deal with the file) or anything that reads JPG (this reduces quality). If the TIF is CMYK you could also try with converting to RGB. Try one thing at a time, so you/we know what was the source of the problem. Good luck, - Michael

Hi Gillian, I am using the beta version and it has a FrameMaker 8.0 save option. I am not sure about the release version.

You can insert the "Table Continuation" or "Table Sheet" variable in
your table title or table # paragraph.

Subject: Splitting tables across a page break: FM 8
Hi All,
In unstructured FM8, if I have a table that might split across a page
break if new content is added above it, is there a way that I can have a
line of text e.g., "...continued" inserted conditionally after the last
entry on the page, before the break? Ideally, I would like to do this
{whatever} with all table formats that are defined in my template.
Any ideas welcome.
Helen

Slightly OT: Frame 10 landscape pages not recognised in Acrobat X
Hi Michael, It's a .tif file that's the corporate logo and until recently I had no problem having it convert correctly from FrameMaker to PDF using the print to .ps file (because of the landscape pages I have in several chapters of my book). It worked fine until a week or so ago. Now I have to save that file as PDF for it to render as I want, then add it to the PDF file created from the postscript file when I print the entire book. This worked fine, as I say, until quite recently. It always baffles me when previously seamless operations become fragmented like this is for me. I tried saving the logo as a .png file, which didn't work either. I copied it in instead of importing by reference; again that didn't work. The only workaround I found so far is to do what I'm doing... Hope that helps!

Apply Master Pages not working
I previously had master pages swapping correctly (by paragraph tag). However, since then I have copied the book to a new book (cross references working) and deleted many excess paragraph tags. Now my Apply Master Pages is not working correctly. This is v 8 in structured frame, but the document is not structured. As far as I can determine, this shouldn't matter. The only reason I can figure for the faulty Apply Master Pages is that some of the paragraph tags in the HTML Mapping Table do not exist. Ideas?
