RE: PDF Page Size Issues
Hi, I have the same problem every half year. When I restart my PC everything is OK again (at least until now). Best regards Winfried -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]On Behalf Of Lin Surasky Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 10:44 PM To: Framers (E-mail) Subject: PDF Page Size Issues Okay, this is a new one (at least for me...) I had a deadline to submit a draft last Wednesday, which was my last day before vacation. Wednesday afternoon, I finished the draft, created a PDF, and sent it off for review. Today is my first day back in the office, and I have revisions to make that HAVE to be done TODAY. I've made all the changes in the FM (7.2 for Windows) files and created the PDF to send off for final approval. Except that I can't send it off for approval because the page size is 0.5 x 0.67 inches!! (The page size should be 8.5 X 11.) This did not change in the source files, and I didn't make any changes to my distiller settings or to my printer driver instance. I even tested other Distiller settings, and they all do the same thing. The Print dialog box in FrameMaker says Scale to 100%, same as always. Where else should I be looking to see what's wrong? I'm claiming I didn't make any changes to the printer/distiller settings, but I *was* showing a co-worker a few things in there, so something may have been inadvertently changed. BUT I can't see what's different from before... Anyone?

RE: PDF Page Size Issues
Please advise as to exactly how YOU create the PDF, save as PDF, printing to the AdobePDF PostScript printer driver instance, or manually creating and then distilling PostScript? - Dov -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reng, Winfried Dr. Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 12:35 AM To: Framers (E-mail) Subject: RE: PDF Page Size Issues Hi, I have the same problem every half year.

Indexing questions
Rather than post two responses, I'll just toss a couple of thoughts in regarding the two index-related questions asked on the list. First, for the phantom index entries... I've seen this sort of thing happen when Index marker content is malformed. One example occurs when additional sorting (the [ ] blocks) in Index markers aren't placed at the end of the entries. Additional content after the [ ] block creates a spurious entry that appears at the beginning of the index. Check for this if you're using customized sorting. Second, for the master index... Check the documentation for Index Tools Professional. There's a full description of the process to create and generate a master index. The issues regarding numbering, pagination, and PDF generation are all covered. Index Tools Pro also has a utility to help with the index creation. It's important that this be done carefully, or everything in your source files will renumber, which you don't want. You can also get into situations where you're hounded with "inconsistent numbering" messages for many files in each of your Frame books. You want to avoid those problems if possible. You can get this documentation from: http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com Steve
