Re: Printing rich media pdfs from FrameMaker 10
Hi Kate, This question seems to come up quite often, and the answer is always the same. It can get a little confusing at times, especially when deadlines are looming large, and all you want is a PDF. Let my try and explain why you need to Save as PDF rather than Print. The Print to PDF route is used to create a Print ready PDF that can be sent for physical printing. It replaces your physical printer with the Adobe PDF Printer or Distiller. A PDF thus created is closest representation of what the document will look like when it is printed on paper. If someone prints a document on paper, they don't expect a video to play when you pick up the paper. Not yet, anyway. Same thing with Print to PDF. The Save to PDF however creates an interactive PDF that is not explicitly meant for printing, but for viewing on electronic devices. Audio, Video, 3D models etc are included.

I can import the video file into FM and it will play but when I print to pdf, the video comes out as a picture and playback is not possible. I have tried this with lots of different file types - a .wmv, .mp4, .mov and .mp2 files all of which are supported by FM 10 but none of which work. Is there a setting that I have missed? Should I be saving the file to pdf instead of printing? Any help would be much appreciated! Kate ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as tnar...@yahoo.com.

RE: Distilling Mixed Sizes
Hello Eduardo, We've faced a similar problem with mixed A3/A4 pages. FM will use the page size of the chapter from which you start printing for all the following pages. Two ways to do this: - save the book chapter by chapter to PDF and glue the chapters together in Acrobat. - save the book to PDF, save the chapter(s) with the larger size pages separately to PDF, remove the chopped pages from the PDF and replace them with large separately saved chapters. But if anyone knows of a better method, please share it.

Re: Distilling Mixed Sizes
This topic has been addressed several times the last few months. It can be done and fully on the template level through postscript textboxes on master pages, and it can be further automated by incorporating the use of Apply Master Pages so that content you want on A3 pages will always stay on A3 pages and likewise with the A4 pages. This method is too much bother for most, who opt to produce separate PDFs and cobble them together through post-processing efforts. Here's June's thread: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2011-June/023385.html Here's July's thread: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2011-July/023495.html Best regards, Baruch Brodersen On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 3:15 AM, Herbert Leusink hleus...@sdl.com wrote: Hello Eduardo, We've faced a similar problem with mixed A3/A4 pages.

I think the easiest way to go is just to pick the largest page size in Acrobat when you distill and let the whole book go.

Hi Lea You can use the hex code \x12 where ever you want the thin space to appear.

RE: deleting a variable across an entire book
Yes! I highly endorse BookVars ... thanks for providing it, Scott. To John and others: I will make the following prediction. If you use a lot of variables (whether in FM books that contain multiple files or not), you will end up buying it (i.e., not give it up after 30 days) once you try it! :) This is, quite literally, the one FM add-on that I use just about every time I work on any of my FM documents for variable updates.

Printing rich media pdfs from FrameMaker 10
Hi Kate, This question seems to come up quite often, and the answer is always the same. It can get a little confusing at times, especially when deadlines are looming large, and all you want is a PDF. Let my try and explain why you need to "Save as PDF" rather than Print. The "Print to PDF" route is used to create a Print ready PDF that can be sent for physical printing. It replaces your physical printer with the Adobe PDF Printer or Distiller. A PDF thus created is closest representation of what the document will look like when it is printed on paper. If someone prints a document on paper, they don't expect a video to play when you pick up the paper. Not yet, anyway. Same thing with Print to PDF. The "Save to PDF" however creates an interactive PDF that is not explicitly meant for printing, but for viewing on electronic devices. Audio, Video, 3D models etc are included.

Distilling Mixed Sizes
Hello Eduardo, We've faced a similar problem with mixed A3/A4 pages. FM will use the page size of the chapter from which you start printing for all the following pages. Two ways to do this: - save the book chapter by chapter to PDF and glue the chapters together in Acrobat. - save the book to PDF, save the chapter(s) with the larger size pages separately to PDF, remove the chopped pages from the PDF and replace them with large separately saved chapters. But if anyone knows of a better method, please share it.

Good afternoon fellow Frame Templars and Acrobats I'm looking for that proverbial magic bullet whereby I can distill FrameMaker pages of different sizes without chopping them down to size. First, the system: Frame 9 unstructured Acrobat 9 Pro Windows XP SP3 Next, The setup: A FrameMaker book, including 13 chapters, 7 appendices, and several key indices. Mostly a 8.5 X 11 inch with about 6 pages embedded with 8.5 X 14. After using every setting in Distiller, all pages are distilled into 8.5 X 11, literally "chopping" off the tops and bottoms of the 8.5 X 14 pages. I've done this before and didn't change any settings, so I'm thinking there has to be a bug somewhere either in Acrobat or due to a recent Windows SP3 upgrade.

Distilling Mixed Sizes
This topic has been addressed several times the last few months. It can be done and fully on the template level through postscript textboxes on master pages, and it can be further automated by incorporating the use of Apply Master Pages so that content you want on A3 pages will always stay on A3 pages and likewise with the A4 pages. This method is too much bother for most, who opt to produce separate PDFs and cobble them together through post-processing efforts. Here's June's thread: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2011-June/023385.html Here's July's thread: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2011-July/023495.html Best regards, Baruch Brodersen On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 3:15 AM, Herbert Leusink wrote: > Hello Eduardo, > > We've faced a similar problem with mixed A3/A4 pages.

Setting a thin space in a variable
Hello, Frame 8.0p277 Win Vista, although I don?t think it matters in this case I?d like to use a variable to list a phrase with uses a thin space between the terms. Is that possible?

Hi Lea You can use the hex code \x12 where ever you want the thin space to appear.

deleting a variable across an entire book
Yes! I highly endorse BookVars ... thanks for providing it, Scott. To John and others: I will make the following prediction. If you use a lot of variables (whether in FM books that contain multiple files or not), you will end up buying it (i.e., not give it up after 30 days) once you try it! :) This is, quite literally, the one FM add-on that I use just about every time I work on any of my FM documents for variable updates.

Thanks for this information! As I recall, I do get a copy back when I _originate_ posts to the list directly (i.e., without being part of a reply, but in the "To:" field), so I must have that setting on. Maybe it is yet different when it is in the "To:" field with other addresses in that field as well. Regardless, I will be more careful to see how I am replying. > > So ... did people see my first response (as shown below), or did it go away > > completely?
