Hi,
In Germany law requests documentation to install and use
the product and to avoid any dangers. All court judgements
still regard only paper documentation as proper documentation.
However, at least for products which are used together with
a PC this seems to change _slowly_.
I do not think
Don't be surprised
To manage a book component you need to use the book file and tools, not the
component ones.
Many of the basics, like this, are covered in the help file / manual, and
third party books, as well as the various list archives..

I think there might be something going on with pagination if the
number of pages in the file don't match the last saved/recognized
pagination in FM. But I could be wrong. Not much info to go on.

This used to be a problem in earlier versions of Frame. I know that in

Interesting, and does anyone know if there is an option to display low

Depends upon what it is (how long mostly) and the page layout (size,
portrait vs landscape).
If it is one page it seems to get printed, but if it is long and is a
manual it gets printed too. But if if is middling to long and is, for
example a District Plan, technical reference, or something

Try printing to pdf from a graphics application that can open multiple
pages of a multi-page tif and import the pdf.

Ah, this seems to be the answer. So, there's really not much I can do

Well . . . . that's annoying.

Dear Kelly McDaniel,
In my experience working in the IT and telecommunications field, PDFs are
