RE: Can't Generate PDF SOLVED
Ø David, your opinions come across more like someone looking for a fight, than someone looking for an answer. Or, like some sort of odd guerrilla warfare tactic. Oh for goodness sakes - the only reason I post on a mailing list about FrameMaker is because I have to use it every day to get my work done. I may frequently have to 'fight' with the software, but I have almost without exception found other users to be very helpful and informative, and generous with their time and expertise. I see many of us get irritated when the software doesn't work properly or isn't documented properly, or get irritated with Adobe's pricing models - but not irritated with each other. The only exception has been Matt - I think this is the third time in the past 12 months where I've received some hissy fit personal attack from him. He seems to be outraged because I disagreed with his advice on a particular dialog box. I stand by my technical reasoning on that, although am happy to be corrected with better information (I'm only going by what the Help says, and a dimly remembered Dov Isaacs posting). Meanwhile Matt or anyone else is free to click on that dialog box as they please, to their heart's content.

The users there are looking for help, I can give it to them, and they're grateful. Additionally, the answers tend to be highly searchable via Google, so (to my eye) the odds of others finding the solution in the future via my posts are better. I stand by my message on Tuesday eve; I'm happy that I could help a user, and don't much care that David was irked by a working solution.

RE: Can't Generate PDF SOLVED
Now that would be a nice situation for Adobe to find a way to put something in the error message saying PDF failure caused by RGB setting, wouldn't it?
