Custom colors in FrameMaker 10 not being maintained when printing PDF using Distiller/Professional X

Hello all,
I am working my first tech writing job that requires printed material instead of just PDFs, and I am having problems with the logo colors when it comes to printing them.
I created the two color definitions in FrameMaker 10 (using colors Pantone 485 CVC and Pantone 281 CVC). These colors are used for diagram callouts and doc titles.
I recently upgraded to Distiller X and Acrobat Professional X, thinking that maybe the older versions just didn't support those colors, and I am still getting the same result. Instead of printing the colors I added, the PDF is printed with the default red and blue. FrameMaker is using the CMYK model.
I have a feeling that I just need to adjust some settings, but I don't know whether to adjust Distiller, Acrobat, or FrameMaker. Anyone else have issues when trying to use their company's colors? Any ideas on what might work?
Thanks in advance,
Smitty

John,
I'm not even sure what printer we use since we send the PDFs out to be printed on a glossy paper (I'm new to the position so I don't have all the details yet). All I use is my Adobe PDF printer. I'm also not using FileMaker, I'm using FrameMaker since I am producing manuals that will be printed, not marketing material or anything with a lot of images. I am just trying to get the logo colors to appear correctly in the PDF so that when it does get printed off-site, the Pantone colors are seen and not the default in the final product. I will post this in the FrameMaker forum as well.
Thanks for your response.
Smitty

Can you try to install the latest Lexmark printer driver (http://support.lexmark.com/index?segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en&productCode=LE XMARK_P6250&page=product).
If that does not help, see this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en/officesetupdeploylegacy/thread/6bdf9d5d-1b14 -4789-b6ee-3aff66889f42

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you need Acrobat Pro for that.

Hp laserjet pro color mfp will not wake up when print tasks are initiated!

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and make your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
    This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
    first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
    printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
    Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.

Issue with HelveticaNeue text not being included when printing to Adobe PDF?

I have a document (Word 2010 docx) with a section of HelveticaNeue text on the front page that when printing through Adobe PDF the text does not appear.
Using Acrobat 9.4.6
Tried the same document with:
Win2Pdf - Displays correctly
Converted to .doc - Displays correctly
File\Save as PDF - Dispalys correctly
Any ideas? I can post the document up here but I can't see an option to.

You can try disabling the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts” option in printer properties.
To do the same.In MS Word:
Goto File -> Print
Select Adobe PDF as printer.
Click on "Printer Properties".
Go to "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
Uncheck the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts”
Click Ok and try printing the document
Also update your Acrobat to latest version 9.5.0.
You can download the patch form: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5330

Maintaining Custom Colors from FrameMaker to the PDF

I tried posting this question under the "Color Management" forum, but got a lot of questions asking what printer, paper, and other settings I'm using...not really what I'm looking for...
Here is my original post:
I am having problems with my company's custom logo colors appearing in the PDF correctly. I created two color definitions in FrameMaker 10 (using colors Pantone 485 CVC and Pantone 281 CVC). These colors are mostly used for diagram callouts. Instead of printing these colors that I added, the default red and blue colors appear in the PDF.
I recently upgraded to Distiller X and Acrobat Professional X, thinking that maybe the older versions just didn't support those colors, and I am still getting the same result. FrameMaker is using the CMYK model.
I have a feeling that I just need to adjust some settings, but I don't know whether to adjust Distiller, Acrobat, or FrameMaker. Anyone else have issues when trying to use their company's colors? Any ideas on what might work? I don't think the problem is my screen settings because when I compare the Frame file with the PDF, the difference is obvious.
Thanks in advance,

What is your CMYK color space (e.g. some SWOP)?
How are you creating the PDF?
Save-as, print-to, or Distill from .ps
Distill has a separate issue.
What is the delivery flow?
Do you need color-matching at a print shop,
or just in the PDF?
How are the logo colors coming in?
If they are from CMYK EPS, for example, they should survive the Windows GDI experience.
If any of your custom colors are text (not graphics), that's a more involved problem.
The fundamental problems you're facing are:
1. Frame has no color management; never will.
2. Windows had no CMYK for years, and now has a destructive fake CMYK.
There are usually work-arounds, 3rd party in extreme cases.

Did you update your operating system? If so, did it solve the problem? I have not updated my OS because so many people complained that the newer Os's had problems.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. The poduct hierarchy is maintained in the material master but not being picked up at the time of creating the sales order. I have found the solution and coding has to be done in the MV45AFZZ.

Reversal documents are not being represented when 0PY_PP_C3 is being loade

We use the 0HR_PY_PP_2 and 0HR_PY_PP_1 infosources to load the 0PY_PP_C2 and 0PY_PP_C1 ODSs. Then 0PY_PP_C1 updates the 0PY_PP_C3 ODS.
Routines in the update rules include corresponding data from 0PY_PP_C2 during the update of 0PY_PP_C3. If there is no matching data in 2, then the corresponding records in 1 do not go into 3 Our process chain first loads 2, after it activates, it then loads 1, then updates 3.
There are 5 reversal documents are in 0PY_PP_C2.
The Update rules between 0PY_PP_C1 and 0PY_PP_C3 refer to the Posting Documents ODS: 0PY_PP_C2.
The issue is that the reversal documents are not being represented when 0PY_PP_C3 is being loaded.

Hi,
The simple solution is to debug the code written in the routine, as you mentioned that you already have some data in PP_C2 then check if that data is properly getting read in routine.
After that check the condition based on which you are skipping records of PP_C1 and not loading into PP_C3. Is your condition perfectly working fine?
Put a break point and check how the data is flowing.

Listeners keyDown are not being called when keyDown in an popup l

For some reason the listeners titleWindow_keyDown are not being called when keyDown in an popup like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SkinnablePopUpContainer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                           xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                           xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="400" height="300" keyDown="titleWindow_keyDown(event);" >
    <s:TitleWindow title="Edit Complaint" close="close()">
private function titleWindow_keyDown(evt:KeyboardEvent):void {
                    if (evt.charCode == Keyboard.ESCAPE) {
                        close();
Any ideas friends??

But in my code it is a child inside SkinnablePopUpContainer:
<s:SkinnablePopUpContainer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
