Context/Level Rules - Several Levels Deep

Hello, Framers –   I’ve been doing really well at figuring out how to format context and level rules with my EDD. Lots of trial and error, but it has greatly improved everything.   However, I have one element giving me fits that I can’t figure out how to get it to nest properly. This is

FW: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes - Follow-Up

As I mentioned in my summary, I have just started to use Save-As PDF where it works because it greatly simplifies a massive publishing task. I plan to continue to use the "regular" print to file + Distill for books that include files with more than one page size, which is the process I've been usi

Re: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes - Follow-Up

Hey Charles, What we do here if we have odd-sized or even just rotated pages is put them in separate files from the regular pages. So a single chapter can actually consist of multiple files, in order, for each change in size or orientation. All you have to do is make sure that the numbering is set

Re: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes - Follow-Up

I'd write a script to do that. DZBatcher can script both Save As PDF and print to file. On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 1:58 PM, Charles Richardson wrote: > ... when I have to produce the entire document > (over 30 books), it is much faster and simpler to use the Save-As PDF.

Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes - Follow-Up

There have been several responses to my original post. Here is my take-away summary: As I stated in the original post, Save-As PDF works perfectly for me as long as all pages are same size. Books with dozens of bookmarks and thousands of links come out just fine. BTW, I am using MicroType Ti

As a follow-up, I use RGB and have better results that way. I do receive some errors when I use CMYK but the PDF does output. Salome Abungu Service and Sales Technical Writer Scott Safety 4320 Goldmine Road Monroe, NC 28110 USA Tel: 704.207.2692 Fax: 704.291.8420 sabu...@tycoint.com

RE: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes

I embed multimedia and I use the Save As function. It works well. I’m using FM 12. I’ve used other versions of FM and the function still worked. I would contact Adobe tech support and see if they can help you. Salome Abungu Service and Sales Technical Writer Scott Safety 4320 Goldmine Road Monr

RE: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes

The only time that I use Save as PDF is when I am embedding video clips in the FM document. If you print to pdf, you get a flat pdf. The referenced video clips are not actually embedded in the pdf unless you "save as pdf". Tom Beiswenger Manager, Technical & Training Documentation, Project Ma

RE: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes

And, as always in this regard, I should note that YMMV. ☺ For me, the “Save As PDF” was the option that worked better for many of the older releases of FrameMaker – just had to play with the pop-up box options for each new release that came out. In FM12, both Print to Adobe PDF printer, and Sav

RE: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes

At the risk of seeming blunt: Don't use Save As PDF.I never have in 20 years (has it EVER worked?), I never do so now (for my remaining time in FM), and I probably never will (being on my way out of the Adobe ecosystem permanently).If it works one way, why use another? Heck, print to PS is BETTER f

Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes

Unable to find answer in FM docs. How does one configure FM to do Save-As PDF with the correct output page sizes (e.g., book with mixed letter/tabloid pages) in PDF? This is not a problem if a book print setup is set to tabloid and printed to .ps then distilled; the output reflects the original p
