Unfortunately the "Save As PDF" function in FM9 has some problems with the font handling engine. Sometimes this function substitutes fonts that actually are available on the system, and sometimes other weird things happen.
Also unfortunately, this is the only way to preserve CMYK colours in placed TIFF images, since *printing* to PDF does NOT work this way. Printing to PDF does not cause the same font problems, however, and since you want "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" turned on you might print to PDF instead. Printing is *much* faster than "Save As PDF" (which is hopelessly slow). Btw, the "Save As PDF" function implements PostScript more or less as of the FrameMaker Unix version, but printing to PDF uses Windows GDI for the same. So, there IS a huge difference between the two "to PDF" routes (this is new in FM9). Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Jacob Sch?ffer? |?

Please Restart your machine." Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as js at grafikhuset.dk.
