Cannot save FrameMaker 7 book as PDF, when opened using FrameMaker 8

I have a template created using FM 7. I have converted those templates into FM8 and then created a book. When I try to save the book as PDF, it gives the following error (in .txt format):

When I converted these FM8 files into FM7 and generated a book, I was able to save as PDF. I am able to save the individual FM8 files (using FM7 template) into PDF files.
Why am I not able to save the book as PDF, when I use FM7 template in FM8?

This problem was fixed in FM8.0p266. You are probably using the original release of FM8.0 (FM8.0p236).
Please update your version (Help > Updates), then try saving as PDF again.

Font errror when opening some FrameMaker files

When opening some FrameMaker files in Windows 7, my clients are getting the following message:
The FrameMaker Console provides these details:
The "Arial Black Bolded" Font is not available.
"Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
The "Arial Black" Font is not available.
"Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
The "Arial Black Bolded Obliqued" Font is not available.
"Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
Even if you click OK on that message, and save the file, the same message appears the next time the file is opened.
My clients had this same problem when we upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 3. I found a resolution regarding the Windows XP OS on this forum, but it does not apply in this case. My clients have FrameMaker 9.0.4 installed and Windows 7 64-bit (we had 32-bit Windows XP). I appreciate your help.

Art - Thank you for your quick response to our problem. Here's what my client replied:
The problem with changing the “Remember Missing Font Names” setting is that it causes all font substitutions to be accepted permanently. FrameMaker is currently making inappropriate substitions, for example so that our manual titles are not italicized as they should be.
We appreciate your help. Many thanks. Melissa

i lost a .docx word file , then i found it as a .asd file in the office recovery folder , but i cannot save it as a docx, when i save as a docx file or any other format i cannot find it in the destination folder

No, I already tried looking at that. The file that recovered was not in the trash, it appeared in my documents folder. I opened it up and inside was an iText Express document with coding. Then inside of there, was and then and this "SoftwareMap" document contained a bunch of coding and symbols and words.

Possible to overwrite a pdf when in use or open a pdf without holding/locking the file for update

Possible to overwrite a pdf when in use OR alternative open a pdf without holding/locking the file
We frequently generate pdf files from our 3D program and would like to know if it's possible to either open a pdf file in a way that it doesn't get locked or hold up so the pdf can be updated even when opened or in use.
Most programs e.g. ultra edit & notepad will let go the file when you opened and hence the file can be updated or over written even when in use.
If any guru can help, would be highly appreciated

Hi Abbas,
It's not possible to overwrite a pdf when it is already in use by a different program or user. The file then opens up in Read Only mode.
You can make a copy of the file and then apply those changes later in the original file. That's the only possible solution.
Regards,
Rahul

PSE 6 on Mac Book Pro Crashes when opening a picture

Whenever I try to open a picture PSE crashes. This is similar to another post but I should not be having RAM or generation issues. I have removed and downloaded from different DMGs all to no avail. Please advise.
Thanks

Thanks for the comment but I wasn't asking about viruses. The thread I asked on solved the other user's issue because of the Norton incompatibility. I was referring to the original question which had nothing to do with viruses. I open elements and try to open a picture from iphoto to work on and elements quits. Since I don't have Norton or any other anti virus program, I was hoping there was another explanation which would apply to my situation. Any ideas?

There's really no need for Norton on the Mac - because there is no such thing as a Mac virus. I realize that this could change tomorrow, but as of today, there is no such thing as a Mac virus. There hasn't been for about a decade.
You can remove Norton. I removed it from my Macs about a decade ago.
To prevent any future viruses from getting in, set up a new sub-user account on your Mac, and start using it. Don't run your Mac as the Administrator.
When you run as a lowly user, your Mac keeps an eye over what you do, and demands the Administrator's name and password whenever you do something suspicious. That won't be a problem 99.9% of the time. It's only a problem when you try to install an application or a utility.
Keep that limitation in mind, and use it to your advantage. A virus is an application that pretends to be something else. It lures you into installing that virus onto your computer. Let's say in the future you download what you think is a photo. It's really a virus. You double-click on it to launch Photoshop Elements. Instead, you launch the virus, which starts to install itself on your Mac.
At that point, everything comes to a screeching halt when the Mac operating system stops the installation, and puts a message on the screen. That message will say something like, "Please type the Administrator's name and password to INSTALL THIS APPLICATION into the Applications Folder." That is your tipoff that you aren't dealing with a photo. You are dealing with an application.
At this point, you should ask yourself, "Why is a photo trying to install anything?" Whenever the Mac operating system asks for the Administrator's name and password, you should ask yourself if you know exactly what is being installed.
If you were running your Mac as the Administrator, then you wouldn't get this warning messages. The Mac would say, "Well, I guess he knows what he's doing, so I'll install this application." And the still-to-be-written virus would be installed on your Mac. It's a lot easier to keep viruses off your computer than to try to remove them once they get in.
This is why you don't need anti-virus software on the Mac - if you have an intelligent user operating the computer as a sub-user.

I use iMac desktop. I can't save web pages as PDF file by using Firefox, but by Safari is fine.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4. Today, I tried to save my email content as a PDF file. However, I only got a PDF file that have partial content of email. Then I adjust the printer setting and did it again, then I only got a blank PDF file. There was nothing inside. Then I tried to save email as a PDF file by using Safari browser. And I got a complete and sucessful PDF file. I usually save web pages or web mail, online receipt as PDF file by use Firefox. But since I have updated to the new version, there were many problems with my Firefox. I tried to restore all my application and made Firefox in the old 3.6.3 version which I used to have no problem. But now still not working.

I solved it for myself: it was my HP smart-web printer crap that was a plug in and add on for firefox that somehow automatically got installed when I upgraded to 5. I disabled both in the add-ons manager, and voila, printing is working.
It seems there are many things, like this and the Google toolbar, that were screwed by the oddly fast update to 5. Looks like Mozilla didn't give anybody any notice! Must've been some really bad security hole.

If you are using Help 》updates, it is outdated. You can however go to Product Updates on the Adobe.com website and download your updates there. I am not at my desk b<t when I get back, I'll get the links unless someone else can do that sooner.

Save As Dialog Not Showing when opening pdf from Outlook 2010

Hi
I have recently had to change the default documents folder on a windows 7 machine (Right Click Documents, properties, include folder, set save location). Since this change, when opening an attached pdf document in outlook 2010 and viewing with adobe reader, if i click Save as from the file menu, no os dialog appears and therefore user cannot choose a place to save the document.
As a work around the user can right click the attachment save the docment to a location, once opened, ther save as dialog is usable.
I have uninstalled and re-installed reader to the laterst version, but with no luck.
Any ideas?
Jason Congerton

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:

Reader XI IE 8 plugin displays "Expected a dict object" when opening a FrameMaker 9.0.4 PDF

We have PDF manuals that are created with FrameMaker 9.0.4. Since we updated Adobe Reader to version XI users have been receiving "Expected a dict object" when opening the PDF manual using PDF Reader XI plugin in IE 8. The manual does open if we disable the plugin. The PDF manual is located at: http://www.otda.ny.gov/resources/fiscal-reference/FRM-3.pdf
Is this a problem with the plugin or with FrameMaker? We already tried Repairing the Adobe Reader Installation and there are no updates for FrameMaker

This message usually relates to uploading your PDF file as ascii or text, because, although it may look like a text file, it is really binary.
Select "binary" before uploading and it should work perfectly

Images not appearing when saving a Framemaker book to pdf

As a new user to Framemaker, I have had great success with these forums in the past. So, thank you.
First off, I am using Framemaker 12.
I have had no problems in the past, but now when I save a file to .pdf it will not produce all the images with it. I saved the same files two weeks ago before reviews began and nothing was missing then. I have not changed anything with the files between then and now besides some textual (i.e. grammar) changes.
Any suggestions?

Are you using the CMYK or RGB option? Use the RGB one, if you're not creating press-quality colour output.
What format are the images in? How were they created (i.e. which application)? Imported by reference or by copy?

I am able to convert the individual chapter to PDF, but not as part of the book. I've searched the knowledge base and forums, but found no matches. Can someone assist me or point me in the right direction?

Could be an unresolved cross reference.

Save FrameMaker Book as PDF - Files with different page sizes

I've created a book with 2 files - the pages in the first file are 8.5 x 11, the pages in the second file are 8.5 x 14.
How can I save the book as a PDF but keep both page sizes? Right now if I change the page size in the PDF settings dialog, it changes all pages.
Thanks.

Something's not right. Try this route then:
1. Use the Print Book option and have the AdobePDF printer instance selected, turn off the the Print to File, enable the "Generate Acrobat Data" option.
2. Click the PDF Setup button to ensure that the Page size is set to the largest (as in the previous message),
3. Then click the Setup... button to configure the printer for the largest size required.
4. Then click the OK button to get back to the Print Book and finally click Print.
5. You should be prompted where to place the file (unless you left the default configuration which may place it on your desktop).
This should have all the pages correctly cropped as in the following sample with Letter, Legal and Tabloid all in one book:
