Acrobat X pdfs produced by FM10 remain "open"

2012-09-29 Thread Craig Ede
Yes, I was shutting down Acrobat, but the files still remained locked. Even logging off the user, which should close everything in their environment, did not work. The only thing that worked was to reboot the computer totally. Craig -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameuser

Acrobat X pdfs produced by FM10 remain "open"

You can change the paragraph formats by importing templates with different formats without using structure (which is how I assume Robert is getting the differences he cites in his outputs). However, structure allows you to create context that gives different paragraph formatting to the same struct

You can try this. Save a copy of your file. Delete everything on the body page (Cntrl-A, then Delete) and then flip back to the master page. Then flip back to the body page and accept everything that is on the master page that is set to come through to the body page. Don't add anything else.

I agree with Mike on this. And with the way they spend months dribbling out updates to the help files after release, they should offer a way to get those updates as addenda as well, once you've purchased the POD docs. By the way, I like the fact that they update these help docs. Better that than do
