One big file 200mb or small files grouped for a commercial pdf product?
Hi framers: I need some advice from anyone with FM commercial experience of selling pdf CDs. With the advent of the rich media formats, my commercial pdfs are getting bigger and bigger. When compiling a final product should I generate the separate child books as separate pdfs and then group them before copying the group to the final CD?. Would the buyer have problem loading or reading the grouped files, or should I just use my normal route of creating one huge pdf? I also think, but do not know, that a customer with a smaller computer might have a problem with a huge file, although my little laptop does not have a problem with the single file although it flashes a message "This file is over 100MB" Any pointers?

Save DitaMap as Book with FM components fails (1 pdf)
Dear all,
I'm a layman with respect to Dita, but need to convert a deeply nested DitaMap
to a FrameMaker book.
It turns out that Save DitaMap as "Book 11.0 with FM components (*.book)" does
not convert all items.
See the pdf for both the structure of the DitaMap and the resulting FM-book:
- The items from the backmatter are completely missing in the FM-book
- Starting somewhere in chapter 7 ditamaps are no more converted to FM
I wanted to do this in FM-9 at first, but this tilts during the Save DitaMap
as, Hence I do this in
FM-11.0.2.384
Ideas how to cope with this problem are highly welcome!

200MB isn't a particularly big PDF. I've worked with some that were over 1GB. I don't think anything that can't be printed belongs in a PDF.
