Given the amount of noise on this list about how the interface to FM is inadequate, I would think there would be a raft of end-users out there willing to sign on for this. Craig BTW: I am quite happy to be working in FM12. It's not perfect, but better than any of the previous versions I've used

A PDF file of a Visio diagram is more or less just a bunch of PostScript instructions telling the computer to draw some lines and shapes. That's a good efficient easily-portable non-lossy way to represent a vector diagram. Nothing odd about it! David On Monday, October 27, 2014 3:29 PM,

Hi Alison, If you’re really sure that the FM files have not been changed, nor have the (PDF) images referenced, then it must be something in your system. Did you (or someone else) change a local printer or a network printer? Or did you remove, or update VISIO installation or MSoffice? Or

Ummm … it works for me. Also, I just looked at the source code for SetPrint (thanks to Ian Hawkins for releasing it to the world!) and see no reason for it to fail in recent FrameMaker versions. As an FYI, you have to have a SetPrint.ini file in the same folder where you have the DLL. This

I think FrameMaker's docs are the least bad of all the authoring tools I've used or evaluated. Their biggest weakness is often complete lack of coverage of higher-level tasks. E.g. there are no templates in the usual sense, so how do you work around that? The sample files they've provided not
