RE: cannot generate PDF

[Heiko Haida]

 

Hello Fred, 

I just tried: printing to the PDF printer uses the
standard size, e.g. DIN A4, if this is set. Which is absolutely not what
the "save as PDF" option does. 

So I would have to go to the settings
to adjust over and over again. It does not seem an efficient method, as
I am dealing with many different formats... 
Or did I miss something
here? 

Best regards -

RE: cannot generate PDF

[William W. Saylor, PE]

Bodvar, Art, and many others

 

   For whatever value it may have, and to thank all who helped,
the source of my Adobe PDF problem was:

-It was not one of the several imported graphics

-In the text of the document there was an opening “(“ in a variable
that somehow was coded as Vijaya font. It was not visible and, as a legal FM
font, caused no errors in the font pod.

-I saved the offending page and “bisected” the text until I found
the nugget that would not print.

-I assume there are some number of legal FM fonts that might give
the same error. 

Thanks again,

Bill

Hi Bill,

 

The most usual thing here, as most have suggested, is that a corrupt graphic
on or next to the problematic pages is causing this. However, as the error
message mentions Encoding, I would also look at the fonts on these pages. Is
there any text (or an entity for holding text) on these pages that could be
using a corrupt font, not used earlier in the document or a letter from such
font not used earlier? You might have to look at the MIF file to see this.

 

Hope you find the cure. :-)

cannot generate PDF

[rebecca officer]

Hi Bill

Make sure neither page 17 or 18 has an extra copy of the main text
frame on it. You can check this by control-clicking on the text frame to
select it, then deleting it. If there's still a copy on the page, that's
a duplicate.

I've seen that problem cause Distiller errors in the past.

Cheers
Rebecca

>>> Harro de Jong  14/02/13 04:10 >>>

Hi Bill,

I?ve seen this type of error before, and it can be a pain to get rid
of. What I do to find the cause of the error:
1.   copy only the offending pages to a new FM file.
2.   try creating a PDF of this file. 
3.   If step 2 fails: remove one item from the file (one image, or
one paragraph of text, etc), and do step 2 again. 


Hope this helps,
Harro

Harro,

   Thanks. I do have several imported images (actually

This is an error in the Postscript code. There are a few things to
check/try:
1.check page 17 and 18. Are there any Postscript, EPS,
Illustrator or PDF objects on these pages? The problem could be caused
by a corrupt image. 
2.Choose another printer driver, then try creating the PDF
again.

cannot generate PDF

[William W. Saylor, PE]

Bodvar, Art, and many others



   For whatever value it may have, and to thank all who helped,
the source of my Adobe PDF problem was:

-It was not one of the several imported graphics

-In the text of the document there was an opening ?(? in a variable
that somehow was coded as Vijaya font. It was not visible and, as a legal FM
font, caused no errors in the font pod.

-I saved the offending page and ?bisected? the text until I found
the nugget that would not print.

-I assume there are some number of legal FM fonts that might give
the same error. 

Thanks again,

Bill

Hi Bill,



The most usual thing here, as most have suggested, is that a corrupt graphic
on or next to the problematic pages is causing this. However, as the error
message mentions Encoding, I would also look at the fonts on these pages. Is
there any text (or an entity for holding text) on these pages that could be
using a corrupt font, not used earlier in the document or a letter from such
font not used earlier? You might have to look at the MIF file to see this.



Hope you find the cure. :-)

cannot generate PDF

[Heiko Haida]

Hello Art, 

well, I do not see any disadvantages in using the "save
as pdf" option. 

Quite the contrary: The resulting PDF will by default
have exactly the same page size as the Frame file. This is very helpful
if you're switching much between different and unusual formats. 

And
the best is: "Saving" the PDF will be about 10 times faster than writing
a postscript file. 

I am often producing postscript files with 1 GB or
more - instead of half an hour this only takes a few minutes. 

Best
regards

I agree with #1. Apply basic troubleshooting principles to isolate the source 
of the problem. Try printing just page 18 to PDF. Does it still fail? Remove 
the first graphic on page 18 and see if that solves the problem. If not, put it 
back and remove the second graphic. And so on. 

I disagree with #2. Adobe PDF is the only printer instance that should be used 
to create PDFs, whether by using Save As PDF or printing to PDF. 

In fact, the vast majority of the problems with Save As PDF that people have 
(at least since FM 7.2) are because their default printer is something other 
than Adobe PDF. That's why many of us use and recommend the SetPrint plugin 
from sundorne.com, which makes Adobe PDF your default printer in FM regardless 
of what you default printer is in Windows. 

HTH!

Thanks for all of the suggestions. So far printing to Adobe PDF as a printer
gives me the same error as the SaveAs PDF. So I will start tearing apart the
offending page and see if I can determine the source.

RE: cannot generate PDF

[rebecca officer]

Hi Bill
 
Make sure neither page 17 or 18 has an extra copy of the main text
frame on it. You can check this by control-clicking on the text frame to
select it, then deleting it. If there's still a copy on the page, that's
a duplicate.
 
I've seen that problem cause Distiller errors in the past.
 
Cheers
Rebecca

Hi Bill,
 
I’ve seen this type of error before, and it can be a pain to get rid
of. What I do to find the cause of the error:
1.   copy only the offending pages to a new FM file.
2.   try creating a PDF of this file. 
3.   If step 2 fails: remove one item from the file (one image, or
one paragraph of text, etc), and do step 2 again. 
 
 
Hope this helps,

cannot generate PDF

[Art Campbell]

I'd be willing to bet it's the equation graphics you mentioned earlier.

Before slicing and dicing the entire file, I'd delete the graphics, one by
one, and see if it prints without them.
If that works, open the graphic(s) in an editor, make a change, and save it
back to a new file name, to force a rewrite of the file.
Then import them again.

cannot generate PDF

[William W. Saylor, PE]

Thanks for all of the suggestions. So far printing to Adobe PDF as a printer
gives me the same error as the SaveAs PDF. So I will start tearing apart the
offending page and see if I can determine the source.

A few others in the forum are likely to disagree but I think it sucks.
:-) 

There have always been issues with it over the years and releases, so much
so that I just quit using it myself (still have to use it to debug for
others) in the FM7 time frame because it was too buggy. It has always used
an arcane interface that, when it works, uses a totally different method of
specking and creating the PDF file than printing to the Acrobat logical
printer instance. It is much improved in the 11 release, but I still haven't
gotten into the habit of using it at all. 

I follow the KISS principle and just print to the Acrobat printer. It's more
controllable and more stable, IMHO than its evil twin.

Bottom line is if the SaveAs PDF isn't working for you, try printing to the
Acrobat printer instead; it's become a basic debugging step to determine if
the problem is in the output generation or in the files.

Cheers,
Art

Re: cannot generate PDF

[Art Campbell]

I'd be willing to bet it's the equation graphics you mentioned earlier.

Before slicing and dicing the entire file, I'd delete the graphics, one by
one, and see if it prints without them.
If that works, open the graphic(s) in an editor, make a change, and save it
back to a new file name, to force a rewrite of the file.
Then import them again.

cannot generate PDF

[Harro de Jong]

Hi Bill,

I've seen this type of error before, and it can be a pain to get rid of. What I 
do to find the cause of the error:

1.   copy only the offending pages to a new FM file.

2.   try creating a PDF of this file.

3.   If step 2 fails: remove one item from the file (one image, or one 
paragraph of text, etc), and do step 2 again.


Hope this helps,
Harro

Harro,

   Thanks. I do have several imported images (actually MathType

This is an error in the Postscript code. There are a few things to check/try:

1.check page 17 and 18. Are there any Postscript, EPS, Illustrator or 
PDF objects on these pages? The problem could be caused by a corrupt image.

2.Choose another printer driver, then try creating the PDF again.

A few others in the forum are likely to disagree but I think it sucks.
:-)

There have always been issues with it over the years and releases, so much
so that I just quit using it myself (still have to use it to debug for
others) in the FM7 time frame because it was too buggy. It has always used
an arcane interface that, when it works, uses a totally different method of
specking and creating the PDF file than printing to the Acrobat logical
printer instance. It is much improved in the 11 release, but I still
haven't gotten into the habit of using it at all.

I follow the KISS principle and just print to the Acrobat printer. It's
more controllable and more stable, IMHO than its evil twin.

Bottom line is if the SaveAs PDF isn't working for you, try printing to the
Acrobat printer instead; it's become a basic debugging step to determine if
the problem is in the output generation or in the files.

Re: cannot generate PDF

[Robert Lauriston]

If Save As PDF isn't working for you because you have not selected
Adobe PDF or some other true Adobe PostScript printer, printing to
Adobe PDF will solve the problem, not because there's anything wrong
with Save As PDF but because you've selected Adobe PDF.

I believe there were some bugs in Save As back in the 5.x / 6.x era,
but I've had zero problems with it in years.

Re: FW: cannot generate PDF

[Robert Lauriston]

Save As PDF works perfectly for me so long as the currently selected
printer is Adobe PDF. I set that as the default printer and if I need
hard copy print from a PDF.

I agree with #1. Apply basic troubleshooting principles to isolate the source 
of the problem. Try printing just page 18 to PDF. Does it still fail? Remove 
the first graphic on page 18 and see if that solves the problem. If not, put it 
back and remove the second graphic. And so on. 

I disagree with #2. Adobe PDF is the only printer instance that should be used 
to create PDFs, whether by using Save As PDF or printing to PDF. 

In fact, the vast majority of the problems with Save As PDF that people have 
(at least since FM 7.2) are because their default printer is something other 
than Adobe PDF. That's why many of us use and recommend the SetPrint plugin 
from sundorne.com, which makes Adobe PDF your default printer in FM regardless 
of what you default printer is in Windows. 

HTH!

RE: cannot generate PDF

[Harro de Jong]

Hi Bill,

I've seen this type of error before, and it can be a pain to get rid of. What I 
do to find the cause of the error:

1.   copy only the offending pages to a new FM file.

2.   try creating a PDF of this file.

3.   If step 2 fails: remove one item from the file (one image, or one 
paragraph of text, etc), and do step 2 again.


Hope this helps,
Harro

Harro,

   Thanks. I do have several imported images (actually MathType

RE: cannot generate PDF

[William W. Saylor, PE]

Art,

 

   This is FM10 on a WIN7 machine. I am using the Save As to
generate the PDF. I could print the chapter successfully to my local HP
OfficeJet and every other chapter works just fine making a PDF. The page in
question has about five images (MathType equations come in as images) but
they look no different from the hundreds of other images. I think I am using
the Adobe that comes with FM. I ultimately need PDF files for the publisher
and every other chapter works fine.

cannot generate PDF

[Robert Lauriston]

If Save As PDF isn't working for you because you have not selected
Adobe PDF or some other true Adobe PostScript printer, printing to
Adobe PDF will solve the problem, not because there's anything wrong
with Save As PDF but because you've selected Adobe PDF.

I believe there were some bugs in Save As back in the 5.x / 6.x era,
but I've had zero problems with it in years.

Re: cannot generate PDF

[Art Campbell]

A few others in the forum are likely to disagree but I think it sucks.
:-)

There have always been issues with it over the years and releases, so much
so that I just quit using it myself (still have to use it to debug for
others) in the FM7 time frame because it was too buggy. It has always used
an arcane interface that, when it works, uses a totally different method of
specking and creating the PDF file than printing to the Acrobat logical
printer instance. It is much improved in the 11 release, but I still
haven't gotten into the habit of using it at all.

I follow the KISS principle and just print to the Acrobat printer. It's
more controllable and more stable, IMHO than its evil twin.

Bottom line is if the SaveAs PDF isn't working for you, try printing to the
Acrobat printer instead; it's become a basic debugging step to determine if
the problem is in the output generation or in the files.

Cheers,
Art

I am trying to generate a PDF output on a chapter of a book in FM10 and I
get error messages in the log that are not very helpful to me. Here is the

FW: cannot generate PDF

[Jeff Coatsworth]

Jeff,

   I am using the Save As to generate the PDF. I could print the 
chapter successfully to my local HP OfficeJet and every other chapter works 
just fine making a PDF. The page in question has about five images (MathType 
equations come in as images) but they look no different from the hundreds of 
other images. I think I am using the Adobe that comes with FM.

Are you printing to the Adobe PDF printer instance or using Save As PDF? Is it 
working for any other docs or are they all busted? Do you have the full Acrobat 
version or just the headless one that ships with FM?

Re: cannot generate PDF

[Art Campbell]

What Jeff asked -- tell us about your system set up: OS / FM version and
patch level / Acrobat version and patch, and how you're trying to create
the PDF. In particular, if you get the same results printing to the Adobe
Acrobat logical printer as when you use SaveAs PDF (which I wouldn't
recommend).
