RE: no pd files from Frame. Help!

["Janoff, Steve" <sjanoff -at- illumina -dot- com>]

Hi Ken,

Open Frame 8 and do Help > Updates, make sure you update to the absolute
latest.  (You might have to do this several times, which means close and
reopen Frame until the Help > Updates action pops a message that there
are no further updates.)

Also do the same with Acrobat 8 or whatever you're using to generate
PDFs from Frame (even via print to Adobe PDF printer).

I don't know if this is related but there was a known glitch between
Frame and Acrobat.  Solution was to update beyond the glitchy version.

Don't know if that will help but hope it does.

Good luck,

Steve

Subject: RE: no pd files from Frame. Help!

Hey Monique,


After trying multiple files, I closed out all open files, then closed 
down FrameMaker (version 8, like I said earlier).

Waited a few seconds, then re-opened it and a file to try with no luck.

By the way, my normal procedure is to print to select my "adobe" 
printer from the FrameMaker printer window (I never do a "Save as pdf").

I also know that I am supposed to uncheck the box for "Rely on system 
fonts only . . ."

After clicking on "Print" in FrameMaker, I get the small progress 
window alight, showing that something is happening, complete with the 
succession of page numbers being printed.

But when I check the file directory, it shows the new ps file with 0 
kb every time (since today about 3-ish).

I then closed out everything and powered down and waited and rebooted 
and opened Frame and opened a file and yep, all the same results.

This time, though, I created a Word file, then -- like in Frame -- 
printed it via my "adobe printer" and voila! -- nice litle pdf created.

Neither of my co-workers have this problem, and we all got our stuff 
around the same time.

In the meantime, I used the handy little "Archive" utility to get 
this book in a folder on my thumb drive so I can get this done at 
home over the weekend where Frame is also installed.

Any ideas?
