Creating PDFs across a Network

Has anyone tried creating PDFs from FrameMaker 9 (XP Pro) across a network? We need to try Acrobat 9 Standard, which is on a machine in the UK. How does one create PDF printer settings for another server? They don't have FM there. Mystified in Michigan

Creating PDFs across a Network

Art, I tried downloading the Standard eval - the Free Trial link forces me to the Pro page. (I know you'll try it.) We have a problem with our own software that the developers think can be solved using 8 or 9 Standard. We just need a proof of concept. JD

Wow, didn't know that. Okay. I'm sure they don't have server installed. Thanks

"Anchoring" Callout Text to a Figure

OK, noob alert. What is the preferred way of creating text callouts so that they are anchored to a figure, i.e., if the figure is moved down or up a few lines, the callouts move with it? I import a graphic by reference. I create text in a text frame selected from the Graphics Toolbar, and

Cross-file links failing under Linux

Hello, Shlomo - Thanks. I checked. The file names in the commands all match the file names on disk. There are a few with mixed case, but almost all are lower case, and the links fail there, too. Do you recommend switching to all lower case? You mentioned "the case of the file names being

RANT: FM 9.0 -

Speaking as a newbie, but also more than 40 years old, I really like the interface. The black on gray makes the menus and such usable but unobtrusive, and I like the fact that I can control the illumination. It's still hard to learn (I made a few stabs with FM8), but seems much improved to me.

Change reference page graphic line across files?

I was wondering if there is an easy way to change the line that you get with the standard "Single Line" on reference pages. I want to update about 300 files with a new line thickness for my Frame Above paragraph tag. I am not able to just import reference pages, otherwise I would do just that.

Updating Existing Table Formats

Hi, Lea - The suggestions I'm trying out now were 1) to create a table anchor format paratag to span across columns, 2) use a plugin. I think Rick's TableCleaner will help me automate a lot of the formatting. "Terrif" is just an editorial comment by me. ;) Bestest, Jack DeLand
