John,
Forgot to add that FM does support importing XML documents with xrefs to
xref lists that are pointing to the main chapter). The previous xml
files were about 2 Mb; the latest file is 24Mb.
Both of my attempts to open/convert the big bugger have failed. After
about 90 min, Task Manager's Performance window shows a rapid rise in MEM
Usage from about 700Mb to 2.15

Hi,
I'm having a serious problem generating pdfs for the printer. Everything
in my book is rgb, despite the fact the all my images are cmyk and all
colours are specified as cmyk. Even when I tell Distiller to change
everything to cmyk I still get only rgb.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I am not quite sure what your problem is. If it is only imported
graphics you are having problem with, you should, if they are
originally CMYK, save them as EPS (e.g. Photoshop images) and import
the eps's into Frame. Only remember to save them with TIFF preview.
If it is everything, also your

Such links have an incorrect active area if there are variable-width items

Hi Daniel,
Printing from Windows FrameMaker is handled by the Windows OS, which
converts everything to RGB. There are two choices, as far as I know: 1)
Print from Mac FrameMaker, or 2) convert the colors back to CMYK in the PDF
file. I don't know how to do (2), but it may require third-party
Yep PC Frame is RGB only. But, for what it is worth, most printers
can still take those RGB files, convert to CMYK, and run the four
plates you need just fine.

Hi all,
I routinely run IBM's product, Purify, on all FDK clients we

warnings issued by Purify when running FrameMaker 7.2 on such
clients compiled and linked with FDK 7.2.
