Re: [Framers] Save to PDF - Minutes turned into hours
If I recall correctly, the need to do the 2-step PDF generation process ended some time around FM 8. It's also significant that neither part of the process was a "save as". The first step was to Print to a PDF file, then Distill the PS to PDF using the Adobe Distiller tool. It's also significant to note that the 2-step process did not produce an interactive PDF file. In particular, cross-references and coded hyperlinks are not active links because the link information was not passed through to the PS when you were "printing" a document or book. -FR From: Framers on behalf of Marek, James Sent: Monday, June 13, 2022 3:57 PM To: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software.

Adobe recommended saving as a PostScript file, then saving that as a PDF. -Original Message- From: Framers On Behalf Of Tom Beiswenger Sent: Monday, June 13, 2022 12:26 PM To: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software.
