Re: PDF Import
Brad, I have found in the past that some anti-virus suites can be overzealous and serious affect printing. The worst offender is Microsoft Security Essentials, where printing FrameMaker documents that contain referenced PDF files takes a significantly long time. You might want to try adding a process exclusion to your anti-virus product to ignore FrameMaker.exe, and AcroDist.exe too. When I switched the antivirus product [from MS security to AVG professional] on the offending machine, printing those documents was achievable. YMMV.

Converting several hundred pages of PDF files to a different format is not a good option here also because of time and maintenance. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Framers: What good uses are Pods ?
Let me be more specific. I am new to Framemaker but I am taking the time to learn it. Im looking to clarify the uses of Pods. I have read that Pods are frequently used dialog boxes that have an interface designed to simplify your work. When I look at the panel and pods, whats the advantage of making it "easier" to use Pods when i have panels ? I know I don't have much experience, but I tried to learn more on the Internet and all I see is moving pods/panels around to make your workspace easier. Also, is their any efficiency to using Pods rather then panels ? I guess what Im looking for are Framers who have experience and can give me their insight on their own experience and to get motivated to use them. Thank you Sam from Montreal, Canada
