Framemaker 12, Save as PDF and Print PDF Not working...

We are using Framemaker 12 version 12.0.3.424, it tells me it is the latest patch level, and the issue we are having is that it won't either save as or print to PDF, both options are failing, they start up and then go to a certain point and come up as "not responding" and then just stops. I have managed to get a postscript file on two occasions that got 141 pages out of 1400+. I have gone through a bunch of the threads here and made sure that I have changed Adobe PDF printer to the default and deselected the box about using the specific fonts, still nothing. We are also using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, and that is now up to the latest patch level as well. I am running out of things to try in order to get this full book put together and ready for delivery. If anyone has any additional things to try that would be great. One thing I feel might be an issue is that some of the files seem to be using a different font, "Times" vs. "Times New Roman", Frame automatically substitutes it, so was wondering if that is the issue.
Any and all assistance will be great on this.

Then you aren't anywhere near a 32-bit file size constraint.
> We are running 64 bit machines here, though the program I think is the 32 bit version.
Pretty much all CPUs are 64-bit now. What matters is the OS version, and Win7 and 8 installs are commonly 64-bit these days. FM may not even have specific 32- or 64-bit installs. I've tested FM9 on Win7/64 for file size limits, and it sails past 4GB with no problems.
> ... stops everytime on one particular page, that has was is an OLE linked .vsd file in it.
As if the world needed another reason to never ever use OLE for anything anywhere, esp. in Framemaker. Export that object in a stable graphical file format (PDF should work). Import that.

Save as PDF not working - in Preview only

I am trying to password protect a PDF file so I can email it, and tried to use the "Save As PDF" option in File>Print (in Preview) so I could add a password in the Security Options window. However, when I do this, nothing seems to happen (the application kind of freezes for about 10 seconds or so, and then it's back to the same print screen). I tested out whether the Save as PDF option worked in other applications (Word, Excel, Safari) and it works fine. Only Preview seems to be a problem - which is an issue if I want to password protect docs that are already PDF. Any suggestions? I'm running on OSX 10.8.2 on a MBP from early 2011. Thanks in advance.

CR Viewer tool bar images are missing; Export and Print are not working

Hi There
I used Crystal report 10.5(VS 2008 base crytal report -- CRRedist2008_x86.msi), i developed ASP.net application using VB.net program(i used .net 3.5). One of the pages in the application is having crystal report viewer, which is calling a crystal report to populate the result. The report is working as expected on development machine (Win Vista). Hence, I moved the application onto Server (Windows Server Web; 32Bit OS and IIS). I installed the CRRedist2008_x86.msi, which added the "aspnet_client" under default website. As my site is a made as an application under default webiste. I tried...
a) By copying the aspnet_client folder into the website folder
b) By adding a virtual directory called "aspnet_client" under my website pointing it into the folder under "default website"
None of the trials are working for me.
When I click on Print or Export buttons (although their images are missing), I get the error sigh on bottom left (status bar) of the browser and the popping up the same giving me below error details
Webpage error details

Hello All.
I am excited to let you know that the issue is being resolved.
Here is steps that lead me to resolution and solution..
I installed Fiddler2 and looked into every the debugging details of the transaction while running the report.
Learned that the crystal report is using the aspnet_client foler under "Default website" NOT under the crrent website.
Hence I tried to access the image via http path from local machine
http://myserver/aspnet_client/system_web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer4/images/toolbar/export.gif.
(Notice, "mysite" folder is been removed)
I was expecting to see the gif on my browsers' body. It gave me an error.
Investigated further more on the error and found that the "Managed Pipe Line" of the respective application pool is to be changed to "Classic" instead of "Integrated"
changed it .. Boom...
Tool bar is showing up with proper images and as well the "Export" and "Print" functions are working as expected..
Hope this helps to those in the same situation.
Again.. this is one of many many solutions on this issues.
Thank You

Save as PDF not working suddenly

As of yesterday, unable to use the *'Save as PDF'* feature in the print dialogue.
Clicking on Save as PDF produces no result window (file name as save location). In fact, none of the options under PDF button works, neither does the Preview button.
Happening with all applications. No font conflicts. Permissions repaired.
Only way to make this feature work now is by
1. manually deselecting the default printer (Epson)
2. manually selecting Adobe PDF 9
3. clicking on the PDF button
4. selecting Save as PDF select +(not Print: no file is pdf-ed or saved anywhere)+
~ and the original workflow is back (save dialogue box pops up, etc.)
All of this should happen almost automatically, as before. Assume something is broken / corrupted.
Any help would be appreciated, as I use this feature a lot.

Reinstalled SL over current installation and updated to 10.6.1.
'Save as PDF" still doesn't work.
If 'Save as PDF' is an Automator workflow, here's a clue perhaps...
In user>library>pdf services, found a workflow reading 'Save As PDF-X.workflow'. When clicked, opened up the Automator library with the following message:
"The behavior of this workflow may have changed because of the reasons listed below.
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action "Apply Quartz Filter to PDF Documents. Some behavior may have changed."
Anyone?

Save as PDF not working for Numbers, Yosemite

I have a MacBook Pro, running OS X Yosemite (10.10) and Numbers Version 3.5. I'm trying to save a spreadsheet as a PDF document using the Print function, followed by "Save as PDF". The first time I tried this, it complained about the name being longer than 31 characters. I corrected that, and the process appears to finish normally. However, the PDF document does not appear in the destination directory. A subsequent search of my hard drive doesn't show the document anywhere.
A few more details which may or may not be pertinent. The spreadsheet has 2 sheets, but I'm trying to "print to PDF" only 1 of those sheets. I have also told Numbers to "Fit" the sheet onto 1 page (it would otherwise be several pages in size and not very conveniently viewable...it's just a very wide table). Prior to upgrading to Yosemite, I was able to "print to PDF" an earlier version of this same spreadsheet, although that version had only 1 sheet.
Any and all help much appreciated.

Illustrator help..save to PDF not working.

I am just trying to save a PDF from my illustrator file. However, when I go to Save as, and select PDF, no dialog box opens to allow me to set how I want the file outputted. IF I just hit enter, the file does save.. its just like the Dialog box is hidden or not appearing. The reason I need the dialog box is because I need to add bleeds to the PDF and my default save doesn't do that. Any ideas or anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

Yeah, be sure that you shutdown Illustrator before you remove the old preferences.
Move your old Illustrator preferences to the desktop or trash in case something goes wrong
Go to your home folder
~/Library/Preferences/
folder:
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Library Settings
file:
com.adobe.illustrator.plist
I hope this helps.

"Save for Web and Devices" button not working anymore

I can't use the Save for Web and Devices button anymore. Is there a reason for that, I didn't pay 500$ for a software that won't work.

Hi Mylenium,
I use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
As for what I did for it not to work anymore, I did nothing at all. This happen in two steps from what I remember, first the button was working but it was not opening the usual window with 4 different file types you can save the image as, it was giving me an error window that said something in the lines of "Could not initialize". Afterwards, the "Save for Web and Devices" link just became greyed out, and was just un-usable. It's not making sence that I did nothing and the software just does not work properly, I'm wondering if any of the other software in the suit that I purchased do the same thing, and is there a way to fix this.

How can I fix a problem between Firefox and my printer? When I try to print a window appears Save as ,then another saying Firefox not responding and printing does not work

I used to be able to print correctly using Firefox as my browser,but something changed in the last month or so,possibly after a Firefox update. I`m not really sure how it happened but there seems to be a problem between Firefox and my printer. So I have been using Internet Explorer as my default so I can print. I would prefer to use Firefox again since that is where my bookmarks are. Is there a way to get the connection between Firefox and my printer back?

'''Save as''' = sounds like you don't have your printer selected, or you have ''Print to file'' selected

"Save as PDF" quit working in FM 9

I've been using Save As PDF to create PDFs of our books, and it's worked great. But yesterday, it stopped working. I probably did something or changed some setting, but I have no idea what it could be.
Now, when I click "Set" in the PDF Setup dialog box, FrameMaker quickly runs through the files in the book (the file names flash by in the lower left corner), but then it stops. Turns out, it also creates a .tps file of 0 size in the destination folder. There is no error message; it just stops.
I can still create PDFs with the Print function, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me get Save As PDF working again.
Thanks,
Chris

I have version 9.0p250 of FM. I also have Acrobat Pro with Distiller. They were installed together.
When Save as PDF was working, the Distiller always came up as a tab on the Task Bar. But it doesn't get that far anymore.
When I use the Print Book feature, the Distiller tab doesn't come up but I see the Distiller icon twirling in the system tray. I assume that's how Print Book is supposed to work.

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
Any help is much appreciated!

"Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

"Save as PDF" doesnt work

Hello I've done a clean install of Snow Leopard and restored my system from Time Machine.
Now the print option "Save as PDF" doesnt work. It doesnt give an error, just nothing happens. What could I do? I've repaired permissions already.

Dig into your preferences folder ( yourUserName/Library/Preferences/) and >look for a plist file with a name such as:
com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.EPSONStylusNX200.plist
...where EPSON would be the name of whatever printer you have.
Delete that file and try again.
Already done that, the problem persists :S
Is that option grayed out?
No, its not.
Might it be putting the saved file somewhere you can't find it?
Do the normal options pop up as to where to save it?
No, nothig pop out, when I click the button nothing happens at all

Can i save my form and print it

Can I save my form and print it

Hi,
You will not be able to save the FormsCentral online HTML form locally and print. If you have Acrobat XI, you could create a PDF form via FormsCentral (Download as PDF) locally and open it via Adobe Acrobat/Reader and print it. If you are using the online FormsCentral app, then you need a paid subscription to be able to create the PDF form.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Lucia
