Can't print a PS file from FM8 in Windows 7 (64-bit)---Help!

Hi, can someone help with this? I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit) & I use FrameMaker 8. I cannot install my previous PS driver as it says it's not compatible with this version, so I downloaded both the Xerox Global & HP Universal PS drivers (at different times of course to test)---both completely freeze my FM8 book and don't print. I have to completely close FM8 down.
I saw some posts here about changing the PS Language Level from 3 to 2,but that  didn't work. The only Adobe PS print driver I could find on the site wasn't comatible with Win 7...
What do I do, what print driver will work for both FM8 and Windows 7 (64-bit)? Would really appreciate the help. Thx!

Hi! Thx for your quick reply! I am still unsure what to do tho---see my questions below in bold:
Windows 7 comes with its own version of the standard PostScript driver. = Where is this driver? I have no idea how to find it, it doesn't show up in my Printer menu in FM?
Given that PostScript generated by a driver can be highly device-specific, you need to install the driver as modified by the PPD file for the device in question. Most printer manufacturers in fact provide a PostScript driver installer that associates their printer's PPD file with the standard Windows Printer driver and subsequently creates what is called a PostScript printer driver instance for the particular device on the I/O port you designate. = ??? I've only updated a PPD file for watermarks and have no idea what this means...is there a step-by-step instruction for this? I just need to download a PS driver to select that works & doesn't freeze up my FM when creating a .ps file.
The real question thus is exactly what are you trying to generate PostScript for? = I create a PS, & then use Distiller to create a PDF. This enables me to have a PDF that automatically has Bookmarks, the TOC/LOF/LOT & all corss-refs are hyperlinked, etc.
If you are trying to create PostScript for distillation into PDF, Acrobat installs a PostScript driver instance of its own, labelled Adobe PDF, that is associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD. = I have tried the Adobe PDF selection from my Printer menu in FM, but it freezes up FM and I have to close the whole program & no PDF generates.
BTW, although you may be successful in installing and running FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7, in fact Adobe officially does not support FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7. = I don't know what to say---the upgrade is too expensive for some of us folks out here right now, so we all need to work with what we have for now!
I appreciate your help, thank you.

    Can I print a pdf file from my phone

    Hello Carmen1390,
    It sounds like you would like to print from your phone directly to a printer. This feature is called Airprint and your printer would need to support that function. Here is some more information on Airprint along with a list of compatible printers:

    Can I print a pdf file received through Email on an HP Deskjet 5100 printer and how?

    Save the file to your hard drive, open it in Adobe Reader and print.  Unless the file has security restrictions against printing, those steps should work.

    Yes Certainly. PS has been reading Nikon NEF files for YEARS. The only problem you may run into is with the Newest Nikon cameras. That is if you have the newest Nikon. That is until Adobe updates Adobe Camera RAW to support the newer Nikon cameras.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • How do I print a pdf file from windows 8?

    I can't find a command to print a pdf file. I'm working with windows 8. can anybody tell me how do I find that command?

    Please see FAQ: How to print a PDF file from Adobe Reader Touch.
    Starting from version 1.1, Adobe Reader Touch supports printing.
    If you do not see the Print button in the toolbar, you have an older version of Adobe Reader Touch. Please download and install the latest version of Adobe Reader Touch via the Windows Store.

  • How can i get my saved files from 4.1 to show up on 5.n?

    how can i get my saved files from 4.1 to show up on 5.n?

    The document saving portion of the app was moved to the printer control app for the 5.0 update. You can use file sharing to copy the files from your device with 4.1, and then copy them in to the printer control app after. This can either be done wirelessly, or by USB through itunes. The document below will show you how to do both options to get them copied off of the device. Then you simply do the same steps in the printer control app to copy files back in.

  • Can you create a .ics file from entries in a PDF?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone can help me: Can you create a .ics file from entries in PDF?
    Example:
    I'm wanting people to be able to choose a number of dates for some events within a PDF, then click a button that will then create a (or number of) .ics files so they can add those dates to the calendar of their choice. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Using the solution supplied by Leonia, and cited by Keith, you can do the same thing (flopping the Curve profiles) in LightRoom. So, it makes sense. Though I didn't know know it worked for Color Negatives.
    A friend of mine with a Nikon Coolscan is going to scan nearly 150 B&W rolls of 35mm negatives for me, and I want to import them all into Aperture, naming and keywording as I go. The objective is, of course, to have the convenience of a diigtal library. But also to have some made into large prints for framing.

  • Printing or exporting  files from remote system running SAP

    Hi to everyone,
    I am trying to print or save exported data from SAP (in Excel)to a remote system where I am working. SAP is running in a remote server to which I am connected. So far I have only been able to print and save in the remote system (where SAP is running ), but can't do it to my printer/PC. It is probably a simple problem but I can't see an answer.
    Thank very much to anyone who can give me a clue.
    Antonio

    check if printer LP02 or similar is defined on your SAP system. It prints via SAPLPD to your local printer.
    To save anything to your local PC - you can use "save to local file" from the report, or WS_DOWNLOAD FM from ABAP.

    I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
    These file extenssions are listed as
    olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
    Oh the ...olk14_message's.  Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder.  Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook.  They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
    You can delete them however using Outlook itself.  In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left.  It will show you the messages in that mailbox.  You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox.  The click the Edit menu and select Delete.  You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections.  Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
    The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes.  When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
    Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar.   Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages.  So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox.  And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
    So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
    Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
    Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too.  It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
    So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox.  But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there.  And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.
