Hi, greetings!
I use FM 7.0 with Windows XP.
For the projects that I work with, I am the sole writer(modifier)/owner of
the documents.
As of now, the FM documents are in the hard disk of my machine and
periodically we ensure that they are backed up.
I wish to know whether we can use CV

Just to provide some historical context for this, the big
issue with Save As PDF was always that of printer
drivers, and only on Windows systems.
In FrameMaker versions through 6.0, Save As PDF
always used the current Windows printer driver, which
might or might not have been a PostScript drive

I'm by no means an expert on Frame or Acrobat, but I just renamed a file
created with Save As PDF from Frame 7.0 (578) and the internal links all still

Hi Nancy,
The only time I've seen the links get destroyed in the way you are

chapter.

I get the same results when I do either: change the name after saving, or

First off. Then Dianne is right. Changing the file names after the pdf is

Well,
No, FM doesn't support transparency. However, you might run into a
disagreement on whether it's broken or not. As whoever you quoted
mentioned, the tradeoff seems to be support for runarounds or
transparency, and they picked runarounds.
