Strange PDF Problem -- Solution
Hi all, Sorry I didn't give this update sooner--we're in the middle of a software release. The solution was a simple one: we rebuilt our books from scratch. That was the only thing that worked. We tried saving the book as mif and that didn't work. Once we rebuilt our books from scratch, the problem disappeared. Thanks to all who tried to help us in our hour of need. This is a great list!

Re: Strange PDF Problem
This issue was raised a few times in the past. In the case discussed below, Martin sent me generic sample files with which the problem was easily reproduced in FM 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2. I'll patiently repeat my recommendation not to use Save as PDF, for this and several other reasons. I fully agree with Diane Gaskill's recommendation: set the FrameMaker book name so that it has the name you need for your PDF, and don't change the name when print to a .ps file (or when/if you use Save as PDF).

No. You'll have to use one of the third-party plug-ins to automate some of the link checking tasks. In fact, in Acrobat versions prior to 6.0, Distiller had some link checking capabilities -- checking whether an internal named destination used by a link or a bookmark in the current PDF is actually present. If some destinations were missing, a warning was displayed by Distiller: % [ Warning: The following Names in Name Tree Dests were not defined ] % followed by a list of the missing named destinations.

Strange PDF Problem
Nancy,
Strange PDF Problem
OK. First off. Then Dianne is right. Changing the file names after the pdf is created will break any links in the pdf, but only for external files that are trying to link to it. Any internal links should be relative and not absolute. Actually, any links should be relative if they relate to a group of pdfs that will remain together, otherwise if they link to, say, a remote url then they should be absolute (and of course, before anyone jumps up and down, there are always exceptions). That provides a lead then. 1. Have you changed the name of book (i.e. chapter) files outside the book itself? 2. How did you create the cross references? 3. Did you do an update prior to creating the pdfs? 4. Can you check one of the links in the pdf that is not working and see where it is pointing to? Check to see if it is relative or absolute. If you can't do that from the pdf, you may need to to do it in FM. 5. Do you have bookmarks and do they work?

Strange PDF Problem
Hi all, We are experiencing a strange pdf problem. We have several Frame books that we create pdf's from. We're using Frame 7.2 and I select the Save As feature and then save as pdf. The problem happens when we change the name of the pdf file to anything different than the name of the book file (with the .pdf extension). Many of the links in the index and TOC say that the pdf file does not exist because it seems to be looking for the name of the book file (with the .pdf extension) and not the new name of the pdf file.

RE: Strange PDF Problem
Hi Nancy, This is not a strange problem. It is the way that Acrobat is designed. The links contain the filenames that exist when you creat them. You cannot change the external name of the file afterward and expect the internal link names to change too. It doesn't happen. Your observation is correct. Acrobat is looking for the original file names. The solution is to decide on the final file names before you save as PDF from Frame. Hope this helps.

RE: Strange PDF Problem
Hi Nancy, The only time I've seen the links get destroyed in the way you are describing is when I chose to create a book with one PDF file per chapter. In situations like that, if I were to rename a file, the links to it would be broken. But never internal links, and never with a book saved as a single PDF, with no external links.

Re: Strange PDF Problem
OK. First off. Then Dianne is right. Changing the file names after the pdf is created will break any links in the pdf, but only for external files that are trying to link to it. Any internal links should be relative and not absolute. Actually, any links should be relative if they relate to a group of pdfs that will remain together, otherwise if they link to, say, a remote url then they should be absolute (and of course, before anyone jumps up and down, there are always exceptions). That provides a lead then. 1. Have you changed the name of book (i.e. chapter) files outside the book itself? 2. How did you create the cross references? 3. Did you do an update prior to creating the pdfs? 4. Can you check one of the links in the pdf that is not working and see where it is pointing to? Check to see if it is relative or absolute. If you can't do that from the pdf, you may need to to do it in FM. 5. Do you have bookmarks and do they work?

RE: Strange PDF Problem
Hi Tammy, When I responded originally, I understood Nancy to say that she was manually renaming the PDF file after Frame had created it. In that case, the links would be broken because the PDF file name no longer agreed with the name used when creating the file. Subsequent messages said that she was changing the name when doing a Save As. In that case, I agree with you. The links should work.

RE: Save As PDF Was: RE: Strange PDF Problem
Just to provide some historical context for this, the big issue with Save As PDF was always that of printer drivers, and only on Windows systems. In FrameMaker versions through 6.0, Save As PDF always used the current Windows printer driver, which might or might not have been a PostScript driver and might or might not have been for a printer that supported color. (Remember all those queries to the list about people who lost all their colored text when they went to PDF? The inevitable cause was a monochrome printer driver.) As of FrameMaker 7.0, Save As PDF always uses the Adobe PDF printer driver, which is the correct thing as far as it goes. The problem is that if the default printer is not Adobe PDF, this represents a *change* in the printer driver, which means a change in font metrics (which are supplied by the printer driver on Windows systems). And a change in font metrics can mean changes in certain line breaks, which in turn might affect page and even chapter breaks and make the page numbers in the generated files incorrect. So Save As PDF is a lot less broken now, but it still has a couple of significant gotchas unless you make the Adobe PDF printer your default. Personally, I never use Save As PDF. I'm a big fan of the watched folder approach for books or printing directly to the Adobe PDF virtual printer for single files. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Nancy, I think you see a strange problem that is not normal for FrameMaker. I have not used 7.2 too much yet, but I have never seen ths with any version up to 7.1, but I don't suspect that Adobe has implemented/released such a stupid naming-bug with 7.2. I have seen many errors with 7.2, however. Most of them are related to bad memory management, since they all disappear after a re-boot.

Diane, Sorry to disagree, but I use Save As all the time (doing exactly what Nancy does) and I don't have a problem at all with the links in the TOC/index still working. Internally, links are not affected by a Save As, only externally. Nancy, if you want contact me offlist and we can discuss further. TVB Tammy L.

Strange PDF Problem
Hi Nancy, The only time I've seen the links get destroyed in the way you are describing is when I chose to create a book with one PDF file per chapter. In situations like that, if I were to rename a file, the links to it would be broken. But never internal links, and never with a book saved as a single PDF, with no external links.

Steve, I remember many messages on this list about the Save as PDF function being broken in Frame 6.0 and an announcement on this list that it was fixed in Frame 7.0. If I remember correctly, the announcement came from Dov. Though I generally print to PS and distill, I have used the Save as PDF function successfully quite a few times in 7.0.

Strange PDF Problem
Hi Tammy, When I responded originally, I understood Nancy to say that she was manually renaming the PDF file after Frame had created it. In that case, the links would be broken because the PDF file name no longer agreed with the name used when creating the file. Subsequent messages said that she was changing the name when doing a Save As. In that case, I agree with you. The links should work.

Save As PDF Was: RE: Strange PDF Problem
Just to provide some historical context for this, the big issue with Save As PDF was always that of printer drivers, and only on Windows systems. In FrameMaker versions through 6.0, Save As PDF always used the current Windows printer driver, which might or might not have been a PostScript driver and might or might not have been for a printer that supported color. (Remember all those queries to the list about people who lost all their colored text when they went to PDF? The inevitable cause was a monochrome printer driver.) As of FrameMaker 7.0, Save As PDF always uses the "Adobe PDF" printer driver, which is the correct thing as far as it goes. The problem is that if the default printer is not Adobe PDF, this represents a *change* in the printer driver, which means a change in font metrics (which are supplied by the printer driver on Windows systems). And a change in font metrics can mean changes in certain line breaks, which in turn might affect page and even chapter breaks and make the page numbers in the generated files incorrect. So Save As PDF is a lot less broken now, but it still has a couple of significant gotchas unless you make the Adobe PDF printer your default. Personally, I never use Save As PDF. I'm a big fan of the watched folder approach for books or printing directly to the Adobe PDF virtual printer for single files. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Strange PDF Problem
Along those same lines, I have a separate problem: When I try to save as pdf (File >> Save as >> pdf), I get the PDF Setup dialog box. Then when I click Next, I get a message that FrameMaker could not find Acrobat Distiller printer instance, which must be installed to execute Save as PDF Command. I am using Acrobat 7.0 Pro on Windows XP Pro and FrameMaker 7.0. Distiller 7.0 is installed. I can print to the Adobe PDF printer. Adobe PostScript software version is 3016.102, and CID support library initialization completed. Can you tell me what I need to do to resolve the printer instance not found issue?

Strange PDF Problem
I'm by no means an expert on Frame or Acrobat, but I just renamed a file created with Save As PDF from Frame 7.0 (578) and the internal links all still work. So not all internal links contain the filename and break when you change it.

SV: Strange PDF Problem
Nancy, I think you see a strange problem that is not normal for FrameMaker. I have not used 7.2 too much yet, but I have never seen ths with any version up to 7.1, but I don't suspect that Adobe has implemented/released such a stupid naming-bug with 7.2. I have seen many errors with 7.2, however. Most of them are related to bad memory management, since they all disappear after a re-boot.
