Hi,

I am outside the proposed ?collective wisdom on this list is that ?Save as PDF? 
should not be used?. There are quite a few people using this and in automated 
processes it is one of the best options. Those people just don?t speak up.

What is a fact for FrameMaker 9 and 10: The so-called ?pristine CMYK output? is 
not working as advertised in so many situations that it is common wisdom to 
recommend _selecting_ the ?Convert CMYK to RGB? checkbox (and thus switching to 
the behavior of earlier versions). Because the Print to File process always 
works this way (converting CMYK to RGB) it may appear as if this would be the 
cure for printing problems.

Debra, what you describe is really awkward and apparently not connected to the 
CMYK issues, since you print to file. I don?t understand exactly what you 
experience. It seems you imported a graphic on your title page that used to be 
converted to PDF easily with older versions of FrameMaker but not so with 
FrameMaker 10...? Could you please share a little bit more information, like 
the format of the graphic and using which tools it was created? Maybe even the 
graphic?
