[Framers] PDFs and FM 2019

[Harding, Dan]

Good morning,



I'm just now getting around to testing 64-bit FM 2019 (upgraded from FM 2017) 
under Windows 10 Enterprise, as I'm about to debark on our annual content 
creation cycle. While I love the speed and responsiveness of the new 64-bit 
version of Frame, I'm running into some issues with PDF creation, and my 
searches of the list archive didn't come up with answers.



1. Sundorne's Setprint no longer appears to work, presumably because it was a 
32-bit application and is incompatible with 64-bit FM. Is there a 64-bit 
version of that utility or some other method to always set the printer to Adobe 
PDF whenever opening a document? The error I receive is as follows:



Cannot initialize API client c:\program files\adobe\adobe framemaker 
2019\fminit\plugins\SetPrint\SetPrint.dll.



Check for errors in the APIClients section of the maker.ini file in FrameMaker 
install location or your %appdata% folder, verify that the client program 
exists, and make sure you have enough swap space to run the client.





2. More of an FYI than an issue: By default, FrameMaker 2019 is configured to 
NOT use Acrobat Distiller to create PDFs... why I have no idea. When I used the 
default config, my PDFs had all sorts of missing elements throughout the 
document... placed graphics, running feet, you name it. It was only when I 
checked the box to use Distiller that I got fully intact PDFs.



3. Under FM 2017 and previous versions, as part of the "Save as PDF" process, 
there was a tab in the dialogue box where I could set the paragraph styles to 
include as PDF bookmarks and set their hierarchy. Where does that live now? 
It's not part of any of the Publish options for PDF. Do I have to use the PDF 
options in "Print" rather than part of the "Publish" workflow, in other words 
set different settings in multiple places to effectively create PDFs?



Thanks in advance,



-Dan

Re: [Framers] Different page sizes in FM document

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Christiane,

There is an undocumented way of doing it in FrameMaker 2019, but I am not
positive if it made it into the release version. The idea is to create your
document with a page size large enough to accommodate all the required page
sizes in the document. So, to put it in US sizes, if your document is mainly
8-1/2 x 11 inches but you have some "foldout" pages that are 17 x 11 inches,
then you create a 17 x 11 document. Your default master pages are set up so
that the 8-1/2 x 11 content area is to the left side of the page and the
extra 8-1/2 x 11 is on the right side of the page. Your foldout master pages
use the whole 17 x 11 area.

Your 8-1/2 x 11 master pages are "marked" with a hidden UserString property
that indicates that these pages should be cropped when the PDF is created.
So your PDF will have a mix of 8-1/2 x 11 and 17 x 11 pages.

When I tested this, I used ExtendScript to automate the "marking" of the
pages so that the user didn't have to worry about it. Again, I am not sure
if this feature made it into the release version, but I can give it a try
when I get a chance. If there is general interest in this, I can demonstrate
it in one of my "anti-webinars".

Subject: [Framers] Different page sizes in FM document

Hi Framers,
Does anyone know if it's possible in FM 2019 to have different page sizes
within the same FM document? We may need to include diagrams etc. in A3
format in one of our A4 FM books. It would be a pain to have to create a
separate file in the middle of a chapter to accommodate the A3 page. Isn't
it possible to have A3 and A4 Master pages in the same document?
Thanks in advance :)
Christiane

Re: [Framers] Different page sizes in FM document

[Art Campbell]

Doug's right on the basics.

If you want to have the chapter content flow and "stick" to the designated
page format, you need to also create a unique tag to invoke the page using
a Unstructured Master Page Map table on a reference page.

[image: image.png]
After it's set up (maybe 20 minutes), you need to execute the Apply Master
Pages command to refresh the pagination either manually, or as part of your
book building process.

You can optionally lock pagination and freeze the doc with ESC F l k.

Re: [Framers] Different page sizes in FM document

[Doug]

I believe all you need to do is create a new master page and specify the
size for it.  Haven't tried it though.

[Framers] Different page sizes in FM document

[Crety, Christiane]

Hi Framers,
Does anyone know if it's possible in FM 2019 to have different page sizes 
within the same FM document? We may need to include diagrams etc. in A3 format 
in one of our A4 FM books. It would be a pain to have to create a separate file 
in the middle of a chapter to accommodate the A3 page. Isn't it possible to 
have A3 and A4 Master pages in the same document?
Thanks in advance :)
Christiane
