RE: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages
Gay Alson wrote: Hello, Framers, FrameMaker imposes Right/Left master pages that can’t be deleted, although they can be modified—or so I thought. In one template, I changed the orientation of the default R/L master pages from Portrait to Landscape. However, after PDFing a book consisting of several chapters, some using the modified Right/Left and others using the default (portrait) Right/Left master pages, the result is all Portrait pages. To me this indicates that the PDFing procedure applied the same master pages to all pages. Is there a way around this? (Previously I used custom Landscape Right and Left pages but that caused other problems, which I hoped to avoid by just using default R L master pages that had been modified. ) Any wisdom will be greatly appreciated. This could be a combination of two issues: 1. I seem to remember FrameMaker sometimes has trouble creating a PDF when a book contains a mix of landscape and portrait pages. The resulting PDF will contain only one page orientation, the landscape pages will be rotated. The solution was to create a .ps file, then drop this on Distiller. 2. After you import master pages into a book, you have to apply them. If you have set up a Master Page Mapping Table, you can do this automatically.

RE: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages
Hi Stuart - I just tried this (it sounded PERFFECT) but the info still prints. I wonder if this is a bug. I'm using FM10 (with all patches and updates) on Windows 7.

Well, you could move the special colour from Normal to Invisible, either in the default Color View or in one of the other Views, then switch as necessary before printing/editing. -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited 3781 Victoria Park Avenue, Unit 3 Toronto, ON, Canada M1W 3K5 +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages
As it turns out, a MIF-wash of the chapter containing the R/L master pages that were modified to landscape orientation **SEEMS** to solve the problem... (That is, unless it turns out to be a procedure required sporadically for future book updates...in which case, I'll repost :)) Gay Alson Senior Technical Writer www.epicor.comhttp://www.epicor.com/ Tel.: (514) 428-2116 Fax: (514) 426-0824 E-mail: gal...@epicor.commailto:gal...@epicor.com [http://www.epicor.com/Style%20Library/Images/email/Epicoremail.gif] [http://www.epicor.com/Style%20Library/Images/email/sig_values2.png]http://solutions.epicor.com/values/ This message has been scanned for malware by Websense. www.websense.com ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
