Text missing in PDF ...

Hi, I have this strange problem with disappearing text when printing to PDF. FM 8.0p277, distiller 8.1.2 (CS3), Windows XP (SP3), Type 1 font (TheSans). Some text disappears, seems at random but always the same paragraphs. This has been up before, but I can't recall the cause/solution.

I am on Frame 8.0p277, Windows XP. Frame had been working just fine for months and months, but last week IT did a new build on my PC and I had to reinstall Frame. I installed all of the updates to 8.0p277, and also installed Acrobat 9 Pro. Now, to my consternation, Frame is crashing when I save as

Re: Commas in paragraph tags

Hi, Chuck: I don't have a solution, but I do have a suggestion. It sounds as if you've found a bug in how FM processes the naming of paragraph (and probably character) format names. If an embedded comma confuses the running header/footer variable, it shouldn't be permitted when defining the

RE: Commas in paragraph tags

I think you are mostly correct, I've seen Word combine tag names like this when it encounters tags witht he exact same formatting but different names. Doing that, always made my life more difficult. It's a feature of Word that only creates problems for users. Scott At 10:45 AM -0600 10/27/08,

Re: An error occurred while printing.

If Frame and Acrobat can't open, print, and close the network files (including all graphics and insets) without the connection timing out, the job will fail. And the more files involved, the more likely a network timing glitch can interfere. It could occur on a slow network or if there are lock

My PDF fails all the time. I switch between File Save as PDF and Print Printer = PDF. Eventually, it starts to work again. I also change the PDF job options from Standard to High Quality Print (or vice versa) and that tends to solve the problem as well. What is going wrong, however, I don't

Hi Callie, My team has been using Flare with FM 7.2 for some time now. One thing I like about Flare is that it is very easy to use after you tell Flare which FM files to use, how to map styles from FM to online help, and what you want your help to look like. I can switch from CHM to WebHelp at
