Frame 8 trial woes

One of my colleagues is working for a company that is using Frame 8. He was having some problems generating a PDF, and, guess what -- his doc is due today. First thing he tried was to export his book and all its chapters to Frame 7. I was not able to read a single one. SO, I downloaded a free

Can you create a new document and PDF it? And have you checked your trial version to see if all patches have been rolled in? And if not, you probably need to apply any patches. Are you using the limited Distiller version that came with the trial, or a separate complete Acrobat install? Art Campb

Hi Emily, I doubt this is related to the FM9 trial, though *you* may indeed be running a version of Acrobat other than what FM is looking for. I'll leave that one for Dov, in case he's around... It's my understanding that the trial is same installer as you would use normally, but without a serial

Yeah, there might be some psychotic graphics somewhere. I'm not really familiar with the doc, since I only have seen it for a few hours. I will try to create each chapter into its own PDF as a start. Thanks for the suggestions. It's only time, and -- I read this on a Celestial Seasonings teab

I have gone through and saved every chapter individually to PDF. Every single one generated ok. But then when I try to gen the PDF, it only creates a text file that says that it fails on page 49. Sigh. This is a HUGE doc. -- Emily At 02:21 PM 12/22/2008, Emily Berk wrote: >Yeah, there might

Recently (in Frame 7.2) I had a large book with 50+ chapters, minimal graphics and a total page count of only about 300. I could not generate a PDF of the whole thing in one shot. I ended up making PDFs in thirds, then assembling the parts in Acrobat. A hassle, to be sure. FM was able to ge

Will it crash if you produce the PDF's with 1 save,as separate files, then? How about Printing to the Adobe PDF driver? If you can get the individual PDF's produced easily then the "stitching together" should be simple with the Create PDF from Multiple Files command within Acrobat. -Matt -Or

So, here's something exciting and interesting. With the old book file, which I am keeping around just for jollies, you can print: 1. A PDF of all pages 1 - 49 without fail. 2. A PDF of all pages 10 - 258 without fail. 3. A PDF of all pages 51 - 258 without fail. But you cannot print a PDF of

Timing :( First thing I would look for is a corrupt/badly formed graphic file. If you have any graphics in any specific chapter files, that is. So what I'd do: 1, Try to print each chapter to ps (not direct to pdf) then manually distill them using Acrobat and see which one(s) fail. 2, When it
