Re: FM 7.2 and Acrobat 8: remove .tps and view PDF
Hi Yves, These are problems that would probably require a FrameMaker 7.2 patch to fix. With FrameMaker 8 released, this is not likely to happen. You may be able to do something with FrameScript to clean things up. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hi Framers, I'm using FrameMaker 7.2 with Acrobat 8. I create my PDFs using Save as PDF. Two questions: - In this process, a .tps file (temporary PostScript file?) is created, but when the PDF is ready, the .tps file is still there. How can I make it go away automatically (using Frame 7.2)? It is removed automatically if I use FrameMaker 8. - I have selected View PDF in the Distiller Preferences and in the Adobe PDF printer settings, but the PDF is not displayed automatically.

Re: Scroll Back Bug - still around in FM8?
Hi Carla, I haven't had a chance to test this with FM 8. Even if the bug is fixed, the plugin is still useful in that it automatically sets the Runaround property to Don't Runaround for new imported graphics. If you use callouts on your graphics, this feature alone is worthwhile. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Has anyone run into the infamous Scroll Back Bug in FM 8?
