Re: FM 8 no longer generating PDFs with bookmarks for the Acrobat Bookmarks pane
Avi, Don't use the Save as PDF. Print to a PS file and distill that. The Save As PDF function is problematic. If you have Distiller open and print the PS file to a watched folder, then it will automatically begin distilling once the file is present. Additionally, Save As PDF doesn't use the Distiller application.

Re: FM 8 no longer generating PDFs with bookmarks for the Acrobat Bookmarks pane
Thanks, Scott. Ok, will do. In fact that's what I started doing once 'Save as PDF' stopped working. 'Save as PDF' used to work just fine. What happened...? - avi On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 3:03 PM, qui...@airmail.net wrote: Avi, Don't use the Save as PDF. Print to a PS file and distill that. The Save As PDF function is problematic.

Re: FM 8 no longer generating PDFs with bookmarks for the Acrobat Bookmarks pane
Richard is correct in that Adobe changed the name of the printer instance, and you should always be using that as your default printer for FrameMaker. That might make Save As PDF function as you wish. However, it is not the Distiller application. That application is the sure way of making all the functions behave correctly.

RE: FM 8 no longer generating PDFs with bookmarks for the Acrobat Bookmarks pane
WRONG! Regardless of the merits and foibles of the save as PDF facility in various versions of FrameMaker, all in fact explicitly use the Distiller. How do think the PostScript is turned into PDF otherwise? FrameMaker (exceptionally unfortunately) unlike InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop does NOT have the ability to directly export PDF using the Adobe PDF Library. - Dov -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of qui...@airmail.net Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 5:03 AM To: Avraham Makeler Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: FM 8 no longer generating PDFs with bookmarks for the Acrobat Bookmarks pane Avi, Don't use the Save as PDF.

RE: FM 8 no longer generating PDFs with bookmarks for the Acrobat Bookmarks pane
Hi Avi, Did you make sure that you selected Generate Acrobat Data in the Print dialog? I do not know how you create your PDF files. As a test print to a PS file (with Adobe PDF as printer and Generate Acrobat Data selected) and then distill the PS file to a PDF file.

FM 8 is no longer generating PDFs with bookmarks for the Acrobat (v9) Bookmarks pane. I recall the problem started when I was using FM 7.2 on a different PC, but had to uninstall Acrobat v9 due to a licensing issue, and then instead installed Acrobat 5, which I own. The problems then started on that PC. And when I copied the book to the current PC (with FM 8 + Acrobat 9) then the whole installation stopped creating bookmarks, whichever book I was using.

Well, let's start with the obvious. Do you have bookmark generation set up and enabled? Go to Format Document PDF Setup. On the Bookmarks tab, make sure that Generate PDF Bookmarks is checked and that the Include list contains the pgfs from which to create bookmarks. Richard Richard G.
