Distiller changes page sizes at will

[Heiko Haida]

Hello Thomas, 

most of our PDF files are produced with visible
printer marks (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 9 Pro, Win XP). 

In some cases,
pages will be trimmed irregularly like you mention it.
So when checking
the PDF file I always set this back to zero for all pages just to be
sure. 

I have no idea at the moment why this happens, but until now I
could still handle it. 
Of course it would be embarassing if hundreds of
files were affected or if the output was produced without any
possibility for manual correction. 

It would be great to find out more
about this ... 

Best regards - 

Tino H. Haida

Use a real computer? 

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-)

But seriously, I doubt that Adobe's SQA tested it on a tablet. Sounds like an 
enhancement request to me. Are you really intending to use it as an authoring 
tool, or are you just experimenting?

why is FM's UI so weird and buggy?

[Mike Wickham]

Craig, if you haven't already, you should report that bug. I checked in 
my copy of FM10, and get the same behavior. You can report it here:

Windows 8 Frame 11 Icon Display Issue (touch screen)

[Oran Petersen]

I just loaded TCS4 on a new Surface Pro with Win 8. (touch screen of course) 
Frame 11 Icons and the drop-downs associated with them are all pixelated, 
jumbled and unusable. 
This includes everything at the top and bottom of the screen, and all tool 
bars. 
The main menu items and dialog boxes are OK. 
F11 is not functional with this issue. 
No sure if this is a Win 8 thing, a Surface Graphics Adapter thing or a Frame 
11 thing. 
All other programs work OK. Only F11 is impacted. 
Anyone have any experience with this, or have suggestions?

Save as PDF hangs FrameMaker 11, with PDF cover art

[Shelly Schneider]

I have cover art using a PDF file. The cover bleeds on all edges. I have
been using this from at least Frame 7 up through Frame 10, with no issues.
My company purchased FrameMaker 11 and Acrobat Pro 11 for a new 64 bit
computer.  Frame hangs when I try to Save as PDF or  print to .ps using the
Adobe PDF printer, both with the latest updates.  A one-page frame file with
just the cover will hang. Other, smaller  pdfs sprinkled throughout my docs
cause no problems. If I replace the cover art with a jpg or png file, I can
make a pdf, but the quality is not the same. 



I reported this to Adobe support, and they worked with me for a while, but
they were unable to reproduce the problem, so that was no help. Has anyone
else had this problem and found a solution that won't require me to replace
the cover art in all my docs?



I finally found that I can save the cover art as eps with a preview, and get
an excellent quality pdf using the eps art. Yay! And the preview prevents
Frame from displaying eps files as those off-putting gray boxes, so I'll use
that if necessary.



Thank you!!

Shelly Schneider

FM 9 - Logical Network Drive

[Stephen O'Brien]

Hi,

I wrote a few months ago about images, imported by reference, blinking on 
screen. The FM files and images are on a network server.

The problem seems to be that the new tech writer used SnagIt to save new screen 
captures using the network logical drive specification 
(\\Oseille = X:).

By scripting I did a search and replace. All seems well now. Quite a relief.

Anyone else save images to a network drive using a logical drive specification? 
Any problems.

Have a good day!!

Distiller changes page sizes at will

[Thomas Scalise]

Esteemed colleagues,

I am running FrameMaker 10 and Adobe Distiller 11 on WIN 7 Professional. I have 
a simple manual with a Title Page, a TOC, and 11 chapters. The manual is in A4 
size. I have created, and use, Distiller job options for the A4 page size.

When I make a PDF ( using  Save as PDF), the Title page, the TOC, and Chapters 
1, 9 10, and 11 all format correctly. Chapters 2-8, however, format with the 
top of the page trimmed off (the page size reverts to 8.5 X 11). The same thing 
happens if I Print the manual to a postscript file and run the Distiller 
against that file.

I should say that using the same Distiller settings against another A4 manual, 
the results are completely correct. No shorter pages in the PDF.

Has anyone faced this problem? I have not seen it before, and I have made PDFs 
from many A4 size manuals. It looks as though starting with Chapter 2 the page 
size is changed in the Distiller to 8.5 X 11 and then changed back to A4 
starting with Chapter 9. Is there something that I have inadvertently done in 
those chapters that is causing this Distiller behavior? To my knowledge I have 
done nothing different in FrameMaker than I have done before in creating a 
manual (nothing I am aware of, at any rate).

I came here rather than going to the Adobe forums, which are byzantine in 
access and glacial in pace. Thanks is advance for any help you can give.

RE: why is FM's UI so weird and buggy?

The kind of UI thing that bugs me is this: You have two documents tiled on the 
screen. You are in the left side document with your cursor in a paragraph that 
you want to retag. You slide your mouse over to the docked paragraph catalog 
(which is open on the right side of the screen) and click on a paragraph tag to 
apply it. Instead of applying it in the left hand document, you new tag is 
applied in the right hand document. Maddening!

RE: FrameMaker 10 to FrameMaker 11

[Craig Ede]

I agree with jowens. Also, be sure to apply the latest update after 
installation as there was an initial problem with printing to PDF.

I work with both 10 and 11 and really appreciate the improvements in FM11. It's 
certainly not perfect, but it is better.

FM 9 - Logical Network Drive

[Stephen O'Brien]

Hi,

I wrote a few months ago about images, imported by reference, blinking on 
screen. The FM files and images are on a network server.

The problem seems to be that the new tech writer used SnagIt to save new screen 
captures using the network logical drive specification 
(\\Oseille = X:).

By scripting I did a search and replace. All seems well now. Quite a relief.

Anyone else save images to a network drive using a logical drive specification? 
Any problems.

Have a good day!!

Distiller changes page sizes at will

[Thomas Scalise]

Esteemed colleagues,

I am running FrameMaker 10 and Adobe Distiller 11 on WIN 7 Professional. I have 
a simple manual with a Title Page, a TOC, and 11 chapters. The manual is in A4 
size. I have created, and use, Distiller job options for the A4 page size.

When I make a PDF ( using  Save as PDF), the Title page, the TOC, and Chapters 
1, 9 10, and 11 all format correctly. Chapters 2-8, however, format with the 
top of the page trimmed off (the page size reverts to 8.5 X 11). The same thing 
happens if I Print the manual to a postscript file and run the Distiller 
against that file.

I should say that using the same Distiller settings against another A4 manual, 
the results are completely correct. No shorter pages in the PDF.

Has anyone faced this problem? I have not seen it before, and I have made PDFs 
from many A4 size manuals. It looks as though starting with Chapter 2 the page 
size is changed in the Distiller to 8.5 X 11 and then changed back to A4 
starting with Chapter 9. Is there something that I have inadvertently done in 
those chapters that is causing this Distiller behavior? To my knowledge I have 
done nothing different in FrameMaker than I have done before in creating a 
manual (nothing I am aware of, at any rate).

I came here rather than going to the Adobe forums, which are byzantine in 
access and glacial in pace. Thanks is advance for any help you can give.

why is FM's UI so weird and buggy?

[Craig Ede]

The kind of UI thing that bugs me is this: You have two documents tiled on the 
screen. You are in the left side document with your cursor in a paragraph that 
you want to retag. You slide your mouse over to the docked paragraph catalog 
(which is open on the right side of the screen) and click on a paragraph tag to 
apply it. Instead of applying it in the left hand document, you new tag is 
applied in the right hand document. Maddening!

RE: Wrong font in index page numbers

[Craig Ede]

I sent Steve something offlist, but I pretty sure you can correct that with the 
< before the page numbers on the reference pages (not at a 
FM machine right now). I'm sure we did something like this back in Frame 3. I 
know we never did the kind of search and replace you seem to be describing.

Oh, FM3! Those were the days, weren't they?

Re: Chunking FM files into Topics for RH

[Robert Lauriston]

The big plus with using paragraph tags is that you are defining
general rules with exceptions, so can make global changes.

For example, if you have been breaking at Heading 1 and Heading 2, but
want to add breaks for Heading 3, it's one change in RoboHelp, plus
applying Heading 3 Nobreak in FrameMaker for the topics where you
don't want breaks.

With markers, you'd have to add a marker for every Heading 3 except
those where you don't want breaks. General rules are not enforced by
the application so there's no way to make global changes. In the long
run, I think that would be a lot of unnecessary extra maintenance work
and over time you'd be likely to accumulate errors as a document
passes through the hands of various authors and editors.

Using paragraph tags also makes it faster and easier to see how any
individual heading is set or change it.

Re: why is FM's UI so weird and buggy?

[Robert Lauriston]

Adobe's OWL UI doesn't look or feel much like Office 2010 to me.

Re: FM-to-RH users' list?

[Robert Lauriston]

I found the RoboHelp FM integration forum helpful.

http://forums.adobe.com/community/robohelp/robohelp_framemaker

Though if you have the budget, this would be the time to switch to a
different tool.
