Re: Frame PDF
If you find out, let me know, as I had to go to a 3rd-party RIP to get PDF. :( Robert Leif wrote: I upgraded to FrameMaker 10 and Acrobat X. It seems that Distiller has been lost.

RE: Frame PDF
What do you mean that Distiller has been lost? In your Start Menu you cannot find Adobe Acrobat Distiller X or if you do have it you cannot make it run? You cannot download Distiller! FrameMaker 10 offers installation of a headless version of Distiller if you don't have Acrobat installed on you system. If you have Acrobat already installed on your system, don't let FrameMaker install that headless Distiller. If you installed Acrobat X after installing FrameMaker 10, there is a possibility that you somehow have the remains of two or more versions of Distiller on your system including the headless one from FrameMaker 10. I would suggest that you totally uninstall both FrameMaker 10 and Acrobat X and then reboot. Install Acrobat X and then install FrameMaker 10, again making sure that it doesn't enter the phase that tries to install the headless Distiller (it shouldn't, but if it does, cancel out of that part of the installation). - Dov From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Robert Leif Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 10:47 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Frame PDF I upgraded to FrameMaker 10 and Acrobat X.

RE: Frame/PDF crashing again after Acrobat update - reapply hotfix
Thank you very much Martin. I was beginning to think I was going to have to recreate a 185 page container file from scratch. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Martin Ley Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 12:00 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Frame/PDF crashing again after Acrobat update - reapply hotfix Hi Framers, A while ago I had weeks of woes with mega-crashes while trying to print to PDF from Frame books. Eventually, the cure was to apply the hotfix that lots of people mentioned (I say eventually, because I couldn't download it for ages, and assumed it would never work for me). Well, everything's been fine for a couple of months, then Adobe updated Acrobat, which I assume stiffed the Distiller or something, because I started getting crashes again while building PDFs from FM book files. For example: %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% %%[Page: 1]%% %%[Page: 2]%% %%[Page: 3]%% %%[Page: 4]%% %%[Page: 5]%% %%[Page: 6]%% %%[Page: 7]%% %%[Page: 8]%% %%[Page: 9]%% %%[Page: 10]%% %%[Page: 11]%% %%[Page: 12]%% %%[Page: 13]%% %%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller ]%% Stack: -dict- -mark- -save- %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% Naturally, this happened while I was up against a deadline, but I thought Hmmm, I wonder if I apply the hotfix again, it will cure things... Yes. Joy! The page to look at for info on the hotfix is: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909 Read the bumf then click the View and request hotfix downloads link near the top of the page (you need to do this, as you eventually get an email with the right link and a password). It took me ages to get the correct link/hotfix for some reason. Hope this helps someone.

Re: frame pdf - opening links in new window
Jo, You wrote: I'm converting a Frame file to PDF. The file includes numerous links to other files, which I need to open in new windows. In the past, I've used a document-level javascript (openinplace) in the pdf file to make all links open in new windows. However this no longer works in Acrobat 8, so I want to set this action in the Framemaker file. (The alternative is to use an application-level javascript in the pdf - but I have no idea how to do that.) The hyperlink I'm currently using is openpage Is there a way to force this to open in a new window? The openInPlace JavaScript indeed does not affect user preferences when run from a document-level script, starting in Acrobat 8. To use an application-level JavaScript, you need to place a .js file in a custom Acrobat folder (in the end-user computer). In the case of Acrobat 8, the folder to use is: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8\Acrobat\Javascripts (the .js file is loaded when Acrobat is started; folder location is different depending on the Acrobat version. It is probably easier to provide end users with instructions on how to change the cross-file links in new window preference) Another option is to apply the JavaScript code (in Acrobat) as a page action (eg a page action of page 1). If the PDF may open at different pages through cross-file links, the page action should be assigned to all pages (so that the new window behavior is consistent). When it comes to FM-PDF conversion, FrameMaker's openpage/openlink hypertext markers are both identical to gotopage/gotolink. [ My FrameMaker-to-Acrobat add-on has a function that controls the new window property globally or individually, so that no additional actions / JavaScripts are necessary after the PDF is created. The new window property of cross-file links can also be set to apply to web-based PDF files.
