Hi Framers,
I think/hope I resolved the problem of Frame crashing when creating a
PDF. This is what I did:
1. Clean up my Windows/Fonts folder: it had 980 fonts before (220
MB), now reduced to 413 fonts (75 MB). It had the most exotic
fonts like "Baby Kruffy", no idea where they come from. I guess
they came along with some installed programs, which is a nuisance.
2. Delete c:\windows\system32\fntcache.dat (which was 2.2 MB)
3. Reboot: fntcache is now 650 KB.
4. Frame 7.2: Print to Adobe PDF -> everything OK.
5. Shut down Windows and restart.
6. Frame 7.2: Print to Adobe PDF or Save as PDF -> everything OK. And
Save as PDF goes incredibly fast now.
Moral of the story: keep the Windows/Fonts folder clean!

Are you using "save as PDF" or are you printing to the
"Adobe PDF" PostScript printer driver instance?

Configuration:
- FrameMaker 7.2 with DITA App Pack
- Windows XP
- Acrobat Distiller 6 with Dov's recommended Job Options
- Adobe PDF printer driver instance, settings configured as
recommended by Dov (Graphic > Print Quality: 600 dpi etc.)
This configuration has always worked for me, but lately,
every time I create
a PDF file for the first time, Frame crashes, regardless
whether I print a
single file (any file) or a book, using Save as PDF or print
to the Adobe
PDF printer driver instance.
I delete the C:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT file and
reboot, and then
everything works fine again.
So okay, this is my workaround, but I'm wondering: isn't
there a permanent
fix for this problem?
Thanks in advance.
