AFAIK it’s the same for both – the “headless” version is just a crippled version of the full Acrobat. From: Denis Daly [mailto:d.d...@icpnewtech.com] Sent: February-23-15 4:43 AM To: Ken Poshedly; Jeff Coatsworth Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: FM 12 and Acrobat on same machine

Hi, When I create a book of books with FrameMaker 11 and make a PDF from the main book, none of the generated files from each sub-book appear in the PDF. Is this a known issue? Anyone else have experience with this? Rick Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-366-4017 r...@frameexpert.com

And, just testing it, but Adobe Acrobat was not able to find text inside a graphic, which was a big reason why we upgraded. I'll have to look into that, but I bet you're right, Robert. I bet that's the cause. On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 3:57 PM, Lin Sims ljsims...@gmail.com wrote: blink Shoot,

Fei Min... FM won't auto-adjust table columns in any useful way. The only way I know of is to write a script or plugin to analyze the contents of the cells and do the width adjustment based on some predefined logic (widest graphic, or amount of text, etc.). Would love to hear I'm wrong ..

blink Shoot, you're right. Adobe finally fixed the SVG generation into PDF so that the SVG graphics are searchable again. Or so they say, I haven't actually tried to search for anything. On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 3:54 PM, Robert Lauriston rob...@lauriston.com wrote: Maybe there's a change in how

Well, on the minus side, regenerating those files and trying all the tips y'all have so kindly provided has not reduced the file size appreciably. On the plus side, I've discovered that it is, in fact, possible to put the shared-review-enabled PDF onto the cloud storage site, where we have

If that happened to me, I'd still want to know where the bloat was coming from. PDFs larger than 10MB still present problems for me on occasion, and files becoming 4X larger without any additional data strongly suggests that a property setting was inappropriately changed in the upgrade or some new

Nope. All the images are SVGs that are copied into the file (yes, I know, but we're kinda stuck with that as part of the process). On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 2:24 PM, Robert Lauriston rob...@lauriston.com wrote: Are of the image compression options different? On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 10:57 AM,

We've an internal perl script that sets up tables at a predefined table width with the columns at predefined widths, but I'm pretty sure those measurements are hard-coded into the script that creates the XML file from the Excel spreadsheet. It's doable if you know what sizes you're working with
