Thanks for clarifying this shortcoming of the print to PDF method, Shlomo.
Now that you mention it, I do recall having heard about it. But since it has been years since I was called upon to produce a multiple PDF set from a single book, it hasn't been an issue for me and I apparently didn't invest any effort in remembering it. Now I will. -Fred Ridder > Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:18:07 +0300 > To: docu...@hotmail.com > From: shlo...@microtype.com > Subject: RE: FM 7.0 and Acrobat 9 > CC: fram...@frameusers.com > > Fred, > > You wrote: > > >Umm, the discussion is not about "print to PDF", which is actually the > >method that several of us have been recommending all along. ... > > This method may produce decent results when a book is printed to a single > PDF file, but it fails when a book is printed to multiple PDF (each chapter > becoming a separate PDF). > Cross-file links are generated properly, pointing to the expected > chapter.PDF files; but the PDF files are named differently (with a book > name prefix), and therefore all cross-file links are bad. > > For example, the sample ecology book included with FrameMaker generates the > following PDFs when "printed to PDF" as multiple PDFs: > ecology.book(ecologyTOC.pdf > ecology.book(resource.pdf > ecology.book(concern.pdf > ecology.book(response.pdf > ecology.book(ecologyIX.pdf > > > Shlomo Perets > > MicroType * http://www.microtype.com > FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
