Frame crashes when creating PDF --- SOLVED (I think/hope)
Hi Framers, I think/hope I resolved the problem of Frame crashing when creating a PDF. This is what I did: 1. Clean up my Windows/Fonts folder: it had 980 fonts before (220 MB), now reduced to 413 fonts (75 MB). It had the most exotic fonts like "Baby Kruffy", no idea where they come from. I guess they came along with some installed programs, which is a nuisance. 2. Delete c:\windows\system32\fntcache.dat (which was 2.2 MB) 3. Reboot: fntcache is now 650 KB. 4. Frame 7.2: Print to Adobe PDF -> everything OK. 5. Shut down Windows and restart. 6. Frame 7.2: Print to Adobe PDF or Save as PDF -> everything OK. And Save as PDF goes incredibly fast now. Moral of the story: keep the Windows/Fonts folder clean!

Frame crashes when creating PDF
I tried both (print to Adobe PDF and Save as PDF). Neither of them worked: Frame crashed. -- Yves Barbion Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor Scripto bvba Asselsstraat 65 9031 Gent Belgium T: +32 494 12 01 89 F: +32 9 366 50 32 BTW (VAT) BE 0886.192.394 On 6/14/07, Dov Isaacs wrote: > > Are you using "save as PDF" or are you printing to the > "Adobe PDF" PostScript printer driver instance? > > - Dov > > > > -Original Message- > > From: Yves Barbion > > Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 1:06 PM > > > > Configuration: > > > >- FrameMaker 7.2 with DITA App Pack > >- Windows XP > >- Acrobat Distiller 6 with Dov's recommended Job Options > >- Adobe PDF printer driver instance, settings configured as > >recommended by Dov (Graphic > Print Quality: 600 dpi etc.) > > > > This configuration has always worked for me, but lately, > > every time I create > > a PDF file for the first time, Frame crashes, regardless > > whether I print a > > single file (any file) or a book, using Save as PDF or print > > to the Adobe > > PDF printer driver instance. > > > > I delete the C:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT file and > > reboot, and then > > everything works fine again. > > > > So okay, this is my workaround, but I'm wondering: isn't > > there a permanent > > fix for this problem? > > > > Thanks in advance. > > ___ > -- Yves Barbion Documentation Architect Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor Scripto bvba Asselsstraat 65 9031 Gent Belgium T: +32 494 12 01 89 F: +32 9 366 50 32 BTW (VAT) BE 0886.192.394 skype: yves.barbion
Frame crashes when creating PDF
Configuration: - FrameMaker 7.2 with DITA App Pack - Windows XP - Acrobat Distiller 6 with Dov's recommended Job Options - Adobe PDF printer driver instance, settings configured as recommended by Dov (Graphic > Print Quality: 600 dpi etc.) This configuration has always worked for me, but lately, every time I create a PDF file for the first time, Frame crashes, regardless whether I print a single file (any file) or a book, using Save as PDF or print to the Adobe PDF printer driver instance. I delete the C:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT file and reboot, and then everything works fine again. So okay, this is my workaround, but I'm wondering: isn't there a permanent fix for this problem? Thanks in advance.
