Re: [Framers] What do you say when FrameMaker disappoints?

I'm forced to use FM8 nearly every day, and I really can't recommend that. The book handling is especially clumsy compared to the other versions I use (FM11,12,2015). Craig From: Framers on behalf

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker CMYK workaround

Yes, Adobe Acrobat Pro (most versions I can think of) allows document conversion from RGB to CMYK color space destination. In fact there are multiple options available, including conversion to grayscale. Urszula On February 10, 2017 at 9:41 AM Rick Quatro

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker CMYK workaround

Hi Rick I knew it! That old CMYK bug again. ;-) Color *conversions* from one color space to another are not really accurate, so you may want to do a color *remapping* instead, i.e. remap given RGB colors to predefined CMYK values (usually a company's color). The Enfocus PitStop plug-in for

Re: [Framers] What do you say when FrameMaker disappoints?

Rick, it strikes me that it is not so much FrameMaker that is disappointing, but Adobe support. If this is a 'straightforward' software bug, equipped with the problem document and development environment Adobe Support ought to be able to work out what the problem is and run out a patch in short

Re: [Framers] What do you say when FrameMaker disappoints?

This issue has frustrated me for some time. The FrameMaker app appears to be a whack-a-mole of unhandled exceptions. Am I the only one who gets an immediate crash on "Help>About FrameMaker" in FrameMaker 2017? Still, for FrameMaker's "sweet spot" (desktop publishing of large PDFs, which many

[Framers] FrameMaker CMYK workaround

The crashing problem I am having seems to be caused by trying to create CMYK PDFs. One question: if I create a PDF with RGB, is there a way to convert it to CMYK in the resulting PDF? Thanks in advance. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. r...@frameexpert.com 585-366-4017

Re: [Framers] What do you say when FrameMaker disappoints?

Yes, I'm afraid you're the only one, Alan. I've just tested Help > About FrameMaker and this works for me. ;-) @Rick: does FrameMaker crash consistently in a given chapter or on a given page? Maybe there's a vector graphic on that page which does not have the fonts embedded (used to be one of
