Default browser for 'message URL' hyperlinks

This is a *Mac-specific* question which we've bandied about on the FmforOSX group for a bit, with some interesting insights but as yet no solution. For some reason, my FrameMaker 7 installation has become obsessed with using Netscape when web hyperlinks are control-option-clicked in a

Is there any way to set options for printing the resulting PDF in what I create, either from FM or in Acrobat before I share the PDF with the reviewers and end users ? Acrobat 8 Pro has a setting in the document Properties dialog box, under the Advanced tab. You can change the default page

Yikes. There seem to be a number of spacing-around-accented-characters problems cropping up. This is at least the third such version of a similar problem that I've heard of recently. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a solution at this point .. other than trying other fonts. Maybe someone else

Acrobat 8 / PDF 1.7 does indeed have a facility by which you may pre-populate the fields of the print dialog (you can't get to this via Distiller joboptions - sorry!). However, that facility does NOT prevent the end user from choosing any one of a number of printing options within Acrobat which

I seem to have found an interesting bug/limitation with Tables that stretch across multiple pages

2008-03-28 Thread Alan Litchfield
Hi Syed, IIRC this is normal and is to do with how FM handles header rows on multiple page tables. I had the same problem with 5.5.1 and found that FM replicates the header row from the first page an so they are not actually text as such. It is for this reason that anything in them is not

OK... weird things are happening. I've got some Spanish content where I changed the font family to Arial Unicode (from plain old Arial). Accented characters suddenly developed massive spacing around them - for example: "s ? lo" instead of "s?lo" I need to specify a Unicode
