TCS 2 - all components up to date with the latest patches

 

I have successfully distilled this FM document many times before, when all
of a sudden poof- I am getting this bizarre message:

 

When you create a postscript file, you must rely on system fonts and use
document fonts. Please go to printer properties Adobe PDF Settings page
and turn OFF the option Rely on system fonts only. Do not use document
fonts. 

 

Uh, the fonts that I was initially using (American Standard and Phylliis D)
are installed on my system and I have successfully made PDFs many times
before with these fonts, but in a desperate time crunch, I converted the
fonts to good old Arial and TNR only and yes, I double-checked that, but no
matter what I do, turn off this blasted setting (which I never had to mess
with before) or turn on this blasted setting for my Adobe PDF printer, I get
the same blasted message and FM hangs when I request to distill the document
and I can't this dam___d document to distill in preparation for a PDF.

 

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Difficulty with Index Appearance

2009-10-08 Thread ecidade
 

Good evening fellow Frame Templars: 

My setup here at JetBlue is simple:  WXP, Frame 8.0p277
(unstructured, but not for long) 

Trying to get my index to shape up a little. 

Here are some entries and what they look like:

121.135 - Manual Requirements, Manual contents
 .1-16, 1-76, 1-113, 4-24, 10-3, 10-27,
 ..10-28, 10-29 
and

121.197 - Airplanes - Turbine engine powered - 
 Landing limitations - Alternate airports1-
 55, 2-23, 2-43, 2-71 

Here's what I WANT them to look like (or something like this):

121.135 - Manual Requirements, Manual contents
 ..1-16, 1-76, 1-113, 4-24, 10-3, 10-27,10-28, 10-29  
and

121.197 - Airplanes - Turbine engine powered - 
 Landing limitations - Alternate airports
 ...1-55, 2-23, 2-43, 2-71 

So my question: 

Is there a methodology to use the reference pages to break out
chapter and page numbers to look the format I am seeking.  I work in
Queens New York, and unfortunately left a treasure chest of
information in my home office in Pennsylvanianot a good thing to
do. 

Assistance and help would be most appreciated. 

I can be reached either here at this email address or my work

Thanking you in advance 

All the best

Just off the cuff, I'd say you had a misplaced tab on your Index

Hmm. The lengthy tooltip for that setting says it only needs to be
turned off if the document contains embedded fonts that aren't installed
on your system.  Well, if the fonts _are_ installed on your system, that
setting shouldn't even matter. :-} 

When I recently installed TPS 2, Acrobat 9 couldn't find my custom
.joboptions files. Apparently, Adobe pulled one of its favorite new
version tricks: they changed the location of those files without a
thought to backward compatibility or to having the installation program
copy the existing files from the Acro 7 location to the new one. I
wonder if something similar/related is at work here. Did this stop
working when you upgraded, or sometime later? 

In Distiller, you might check if the Font Locations list contains the
location of those fonts. Also, to eliminate a problem with the specific
doc, create a new one that uses those fonts and see if you can PDF that.


Also, are you using Save As PDF or printing to Adobe PDF printer? Try
the other. Try printing to a file (using Adobe PDF printer). See if a
log file is created that shows when it failed and why. 

If all else fails, try sacrificing a goat. ;-)

And it would be good to check that the Adobe PDF printer is set as the
system default printer, either in the OS or with a Frame plug-in, so
that no other printer fonts can complicate life.

Hypertext Links not Working

2009-10-08 Thread Heinlein, Roberta
Yes, the links appear to be correct in Acrobat using the Link Tool. The
link shows as an absolute link and we put relative links in the FM file.
The absolute link is correct and changes when I move the file to another
folder-still correct for that folder. The links work correctly as well,
until the file is moved to our intranet. Although the folder names are
different in the intranet, the relative position is the same.

Thank you

Are the paths and filenames correct when you open/edit the links with
