RE: cannot generate PDF
Hello Fred, I just tried: printing to the PDF printer uses the standard size, e.g. DIN A4, if this is set. Which is absolutely not what the save as PDF option does. So I would have to go to the settings to adjust over and over again. It does not seem an efficient method, as I am dealing with many different formats... Or did I miss something here? Best regards - Tino H. Haida Am 2013-02-14 21:04, schrieb Fred Ridder: Art never recommended that you write a PostScript file. What he recommended is that you *print* to the Adobe PDF virtual printer. This creates a PDF file directly, but uses a predictable set of Distiller settings (unlike Save As PDF, which is affected by setting in at least three different locations if I recall correctly). Printing to the Adobe PDF virtual printer takes essentially the same amount of time that the Save As PDF method does; the last time I tested the two methods against one another, printing to the Adobe PDF printer was faster than Save As PDF about 1/3 of the time and was only significantly slower on one test document. And printing to the Adobe PDF virtual printer does use the page size defined in FrameMaker, just as Save As PDF does. -Fred Ridder - Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:32:23 +0100 From: i...@heiko-haida.de To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: cannot generate PDF Hello Art, well, I do not see any disadvantages in using the save as pdf option. Quite the contrary: The resulting PDF will by default have exactly the same page size as the Frame file. This is very helpful if you're switching much between different and unusual formats. And the best is: Saving the PDF will be about 10 times faster than writing a postscript file. I am often producing postscript files with 1 GB or more - instead of half an hour this only takes a few minutes. Best regards Tino H. Haida A few others in the forum are likely to disagree but I think it sucks. :-) There have always been issues with it over the years and releases, so much so that I just quit using it myself (still have to use it to debug for others) in the FM7 time frame because it was too buggy. It has always used an arcane interface that, when it works, uses a totally different method of specking and creating the PDF file than printing to the Acrobat logical printer instance. It is much improved in the 11 release, but I still haven't gotten into the habit of using it at all. I follow the KISS principle and just print to the Acrobat printer. It's more controllable and more stable, IMHO than its evil twin. Bottom line is if the SaveAs PDF isn't working for you, try printing to the Acrobat printer instead; it's become a basic debugging step to determine if the problem is in the output generation or in the files.

Re: cannot generate PDF
Hi Bill,
The most usual thing here, as most have suggested, is that a corrupt
graphic on or next to the problematic pages is causing this. However, as
the error message mentions Encoding, I would also look at the fonts on
these pages. Is there any text (or an entity for holding text) on these
pages that could be using a corrupt font, not used earlier in the document
or a letter from such font not used earlier? You might have to look at the
MIF file to see this.
Hope you find the cure. :-)

For whatever value it may have, and to thank all who
helped, the source of my Adobe PDF problem was:
**-**It was not one of the several imported graphics
**-**In the text of the document there was an opening “(“ in a
variable that somehow was coded as Vijaya font. It was not visible and, as
a legal FM font, caused no errors in the font pod.

What Jeff asked -- tell us about your system set up: OS / FM version and

the PDF. In particular, if you get the same results printing to the Adobe
Acrobat logical printer as when you use SaveAs PDF (which I wouldn't

RE: cannot generate PDF
Art,
This is FM10 on a WIN7 machine. I am using the Save As to
generate the PDF. I could print the chapter successfully to my local HP
OfficeJet and every other chapter works just fine making a PDF. The page in
question has about five images (MathType equations come in as images) but
they look no different from the hundreds of other images. I think I am using
the Adobe that comes with FM. I ultimately need PDF files for the publisher
and every other chapter works fine.

RE: cannot generate PDF
Hi Bill,
I've seen this type of error before, and it can be a pain to get rid of. What I
do to find the cause of the error:
1. copy only the offending pages to a new FM file.
2. try creating a PDF of this file.
3. If step 2 fails: remove one item from the file (one image, or one
paragraph of text, etc), and do step 2 again.
Hope this helps,

Subject: cannot generate PDF
I am trying to generate a PDF output on a chapter of a book in FM10 and I get
error messages in the log that are not very helpful to me. Here is the
offending part of the log:

I cannot find any errors on the page in the document. Does this make sense to
anyone?

Re: cannot generate PDF
If Save As PDF isn't working for you because you have not selected Adobe PDF or some other true Adobe PostScript printer, printing to Adobe PDF will solve the problem, not because there's anything wrong with Save As PDF but because you've selected Adobe PDF. I believe there were some bugs in Save As back in the 5.x / 6.x era, but I've had zero problems with it in years. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: cannot generate PDF
I agree with Harro's plan, but suggest you chop the file in half, save to PDF,
and then iterate to more rapidly identify the problem area.

Hi Bill,
I’ve seen this type of error before, and it can be a pain to get rid of. What
I do to find the cause of the error:
1. copy only the offending pages to a new FM file.
2. try creating a PDF of this file.
3. If step 2 fails: remove one item from the file (one image, or one
paragraph of text, etc), and do step 2 again.
Hope this helps,
Harro

Harro,
Thanks. I do have several imported images (actually MathType
equations) on that page but I have 500 pages of that and this is the only
page where I get an error.

This is an error in the Postscript code. There are a few things to check/try:
1.check page 17 and 18. Are there any Postscript, EPS, Illustrator or
PDF objects on these pages? The problem could be caused by a corrupt image.
2.Choose another printer driver, then try creating the PDF again.

RE: cannot generate PDF
Thanks for all of the suggestions. So far printing to Adobe PDF as a printer gives me the same error as the SaveAs PDF. So I will start tearing apart the offending page and see if I can determine the source.

Re: cannot generate PDF
Hello Art, well, I do not see any disadvantages in using the save as pdf option. Quite the contrary: The resulting PDF will by default have exactly the same page size as the Frame file. This is very helpful if you're switching much between different and unusual formats. And the best is: Saving the PDF will be about 10 times faster than writing a postscript file. I am often producing postscript files with 1 GB or more - instead of half an hour this only takes a few minutes. Best regards Tino H.

Apply basic troubleshooting principles to isolate the source of the problem. Try printing just page 18 to PDF. Does it still fail? Remove the first graphic on page 18 and see if that solves the problem. If not, put it back and remove the second graphic. And so on. I disagree with #2. Adobe PDF is the only printer instance that should be used to create PDFs, whether by using Save As PDF or printing to PDF. In fact, the vast majority of the problems with Save As PDF that people have (at least since FM 7.2) are because their default printer is something other than Adobe PDF. That's why many of us use and recommend the SetPrint plugin from sundorne.com, which makes Adobe PDF your default printer in FM regardless of what you default printer is in Windows. HTH! Richard G.
