Table content disappearing when PDF'ing in FrameMaker 10

Recently when I've pdf'd a book in FrameMaker 10, some of the content in the tables is missing. It can be either text or graphics and usually occurrs towards the start of the book, but it won't be throughout the book. This doesn't happen with every book, only the odd one, but is very frustrating.
If I pdf the individual Frame file, it works perfectly, some of these files have been used in previous books and the books pdf'd OK with no problems. The computer is running Windows 7 with 12 GB of RAM.
Any ideas?

Actually, I had similar issue, but it was FM.  Occasionally, when I did a Save as PDF or Save as with HTML, FM went on for a few moment then stoped saving with an error message along the line: Cannot create <some file name>...  It kept doing the same thing for several tries until I deleted the previously generated files, then all would be well for a while, until the next time...  I don't know it had anything to do with the generated files (PDF or HTML) being opened on a web-browser at the moment.  Yet, as I remembered prior to that and verified afterward, in those times that went without such error, those files were being opened as well.  Thanks!
PS: I'm using FrameMaker 11

  • Table headings disappearing in pdf?

    Why are some table headings disappearing when I pdf a Frame 8 file? There is no pattern in the disappearances and each time I pdf the file, a different cell heading disappears. If I create a text box and paste that box over the heading, it shows up fine in the pdf, but that's a dumb way to work. This all started happening in the last month, after I changed computers. Thanks for the help!!

    This is the message I get right now when I save to pdf. If I print to a prn, it doesn't open at all. I used to have a tool that converted the prn automatically at my old job, but there's nothing on the new job's computer and no IT help available. I've been doing a workaround by printing the TOC and the document separately and just adding the TOC to the new pdf, but now when I'm trying to pdf a large document (without TOC) that used to pdf just fine (with TOC), I'm getting the following message. I've just pdf'd chapters 7 & 8 with no problem whatsoever.

  • Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

    Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

    It's not something I have tried before.  Have you tried it, and what's happened?
    Basically, copy/pasting tables is a bit of a problem - anywhere.  Table formats are different in different circumstances - Excel, HTML, PDF, ...
    If you copy a HTML table and paste it into an Excel sheet, the entire table will go into one single cell.
    So most likely what you are trying to achieve will not work.

  • AdvancedDataGrid content disappearing when setting rendererProviders..

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the community support, really useful.
    I am using the SDK 4.1.
    Here is the explanation of my problem.I am using a detail renderer inside a ADG, which appears when clicking on a certain column.
    This is done is AS3 (I mean not with mxlm tags), using the ADG rendererProviders property with an item renderer passed to a ClassFactory.
    This is working ok, until a certain point..
    Indeed, the grid contains many columns, with images item renderers and when I am horizontally scrolling through the column, a display bug make all the ADG content disappear.. Headers remain but all the data are gone. A user action that may update the data has to be done to make the data come back of course.
    This bug seems to be known by a few, but unfortunately all the solutions are useless in my case (setting the property horizontalScrollPolicy = 'auto' for each column for instance).
    After some research it appears that the line responsible for making the whole thing vanishing is the update of the variable rendererProviders:
    ie this.rendererProviders.push(_detailRendererProvider);
    In the AdvancedDataGrid.as class, the property setter, after updating its value of course make 2 other intructions :
    invalidateSize();
    invalidateDisplayList();
    It seems this is a bit too much for the DG to handle (note that I call this.validateNow(); after the rendererProviders update in my code).
    Note as well that if I do not set :
    this.variableRowHeight = true;
    An error pops up from the class AdvancedDataGridBaseEx in the configureScrollBars method, doing :
    var headerPosX:int =  lastHeaderInfo.headerItem.x;
    (headerItem is null)
    So, end of the day, I am stuck..
    Many thanks for your help, hoping it will arouse some lights..

    hi, katrina S
    I don't know how but for the past three days iTunes has been functioning correctly.
    I removed al my music files from the library and put them back to their original folder; reinstalled iTunes and let it go from there. I've decided not to copy my music folder to iTunes as it's now working "correctly." I haven't made any playlists or made any online purchases since reinstalling as I'm wary of it all going haywire again. Thanks for your help. I'll keep you updated on this matter.
    take care,

  • Content disappear  when use another  mac to charge iPod

    I am a new user of iPod, I loaded my ipod shuffle from a desktop Mac, then try to charge the iPod battery using a MacBook, then the content of all loaded songs disappear from iPod, I suspect it try to automatically sync with the songs in MacBook, but there is none in the MacBook.
    If so, how can I stop this from happen, if not, does it mean that I can not connect my iPod to another computer to charge t?

    As recommended, in Settings in iTunes, I UNchecked "Open Itunes when this iPod is connected" in both computers and click "Apply". but then when I connected it to MBP, the indicator amber light is blinking constantly, and I have to open the iTune, and then the light turns green, but the content was wiped out, the option for :"Open itunes when this iPod is connected" is indeed unchecked. so I am back to square one.
    so I have to use decktop mac to load the music again. by the way, the reason I need to use MBP to charge the battry, is that the iPod when connected to desktop Mac has constant blinking amber light unless I plug it to MBP first, but then the content disappear.

  • Broken links when PDF'ing from Structured Framemaker 8.0 in Windows XP

    We have a large number of links in our documents that are created using structured Framemaker 8.0 in a Windows XP environment. The xrefs work fine in FM, but once they have been PDF'd all of the links are broken. Since these are large documents, it can take over a day to relink everything.  All links are created using the fm-xref tag and link to other topics/items within the FM book.
    Any suggestions for what may be the problem?
    I am also posting this in the Framemaker forum.

    The Set Destination option isn't working for us either.
    This is what we are seeing:
    In our source doc, a cross-reference is created using the fm-xref structured tag. At that point the cross-reference works. We create a series of topics using cross-references the same way.
    These topics are assembled into ditamaps.  The cross-references are still working.
    A book is then created and all ditamaps are created as chapters within the book.
    At this point, the fm-xrefs stop working. In some cases, they were converted to xrefs instead of retaining the fm-xref tag. At this point, some of the formatting is ignored.  For example, an example tag that looks lovely in the left column, suddenly becomes a Heading 1 which is a chapter heading.
    Needless to say, the frustration level is very high.  I would attach, but it appears that .fm or book files are not an acceptable file type.
    Please help us. It may be something terribly simple, that we just can't see anymore because we're cross-eyed from troubleshooting.
    We love FM and would like to continue to use it, but not if it causes this type of frustration. In fact, we're considering becoming nurses.

  • Why is XML content disappearing when converting to button?

    I've never had this issue before but when I try to convert a group of objects containing XML or just the text box containing XML content into a button the XML content vanishes from the Structure panel. Usually when clicking "convert to button" everything stays normal and the XML doesn't vanish and stays linked etc. Is this a glitch or is there some odd setting that's causing this?

    I work strictly with arial and times new roman.
    I think all of the problems were with times new roman. I didn't see much of a pattern and what I did see was sporadic. There were problems in regular paragraphs and tables as well.
    As suggested I installed all updates to Frame and after focusing on incorporating my reviewers' PDF comments I just PDF the manual again and found no problems! Yay! 
    I agree about the inefficiency of searching forums; it's easier to start a new thread.
    I had no idea about Google's advanced search page . . . nice to know.

  • Page Content Disappears When Adding WebPart SP 2010

    I have been working on a project (wiki page).  I have added WPs.  There are only 2 on the page.  One day one of the WPs was not there I am trying to upload the same one.  When I do, the entire page disappears.  So I close it without
    editing it and it returns.  Any suggestions would be great.  I have not altered the master pages.
    d.bell

    You can try checking if the other web part is already on the page or not. Someone might have closed that web part. 
    At the end of your page URL type
    contents=1
    e.g.
    http://intranet.contoso.com/Project1/Pages/Default.aspx?contents=1
    If you see your two web parts there then Delete the one which is not visible on the page. You may have to checkout the page for this. 
    Now go back and add the web part back and see if that works.

  • Stacked contents disappear when reach the end of the field

    I have one content canvas and one stacked canvas, I have putting the show_view('canvas1') to show the stacked canvas in the when-new-form-instance. However, when I press enter on the first field in the content canvas, the stacked canvas disappear immediately and when the cursor jump from content canvas to stacked canvas the stacked canvas is shown. When I keep on press enter reach the end field of the stacked canvas and jump back to the content canvas, the stacked canvas is disappear again. And the cursor still keep on reside on the firs record / row without jumping to the next two of record. How do deal with this ?

  • LaTeX table rules disappear when using Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    I created a PDF document using LaTeX and used the LaTeX command \cellcolor to create colored cells in tables. When I view the document with the Adobe Reader some table rules of colored cells dissapear. This is not the case when using Preview on a Mac. The lines become visible when I zoom into the document (>300%) and when I print from Adobe Reader. Hence, it seems to be a problem with the rendering that Adobe Reader does. According to various disscussions on the internet many people seem to have similar problems. However, nobody provided a good solution for it.
    Any suggestions to solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sebastian
    Adobe Reader screen shot:
    Preview screen shot:

    I am not quite sure if it is a problem with the pdf generator since the problem is not present when using other pdf viewers or when zooming in with Adobe Reader. It might be a problem of the Adobe Reader.

  • Page content disappearing when longer than 1 page

    When creating a Welcome page or About Me page in iWeb 08, all page content completely disappears if it is longer than one page and I scroll to the second page.
    The outline of the text box still appears to be visible, but none of the text displays inside of it. Also, the rest of the graphics/content for the page disappear as well. The only thing left is the background and the outline of the text box that I was previously typing in.
    This makes it impossible to create a page that is any longer than one screen length on my machine. Anyone else see this issue or a fix for it?
    Currently using a shiny new 2.4Ghz iMac and just started with iLife 08 today.
    Thanks!

    To make a page longer you can delete the "made on a Mac" thing, add a text box as a "footer" and put your copyright info into it eg
    Copyright © Me - 2007 - All Rights Reserved
    Click and hold on this box and drag it down the page.
    The page will get longer and longer and longer........ before your very eyes!
    The problem isn't the actual page length of the page. The problem is with the rendering of it within iWeb. Once the page is published all of the content shows up in a browser as it should.
    The problem occurs within iWeb itself when trying to edit and add content to a page. Once I do any scrolling on a page within iWeb all of the content of the page completely disappears. The only things left are the background and the outline of the text box that is selected. Everything else is gone, including the footer, etc.

  • Shadows disappearing when PDF/X-1 made?

    Ive created a file in InDesign CS3 with some simple swooshes at the bottom... All art was created in InDesign (not placed from Illustrator). I need to create a PDFX-1 file from this for a vendor.... However, when I do this, I lose the shadows on swoosh.
    Ive exhausted my knowledge of what to do... Which has included:
    - changing the drop shadow settings (normal and multiply, honor effects, knockout...)
    - adjusting the shadow effects from object to fill
    - export the graphic from InDesign as an EPS, then place this EPS
    - restarting my computer, and using a coworkers computer
    The one thing I have not yet done is try exporting the problem artwork as a hires jpg and then using that. (I'd prefer not to do this as another vendor is producing the rest of the kit and it would be a HUGE undertaking to modify all the other pages just to match the methods used for this page.)
    Ironically, the low-res PDF accomplishes what I need perfectly, but of course at the sacrifice of the other images on the page.
    (If only this vendor would accept my InDesign files - they look/print perfect!)
    Thank you for any tips or insight you may have!

    Are your colors process colors or spot colors? If you have spot colors interacting with transparency like drop shadows, you'd need to turn on overprinting to preview and print it.
    One workaround would be to convert your colors to process colors.

  • Long download time, and content disappears when downloaded

    I just spent over 16 hours downloading a movie through Home Sharing. After the download had completed, I went to watch the movie and it had disappeared. I am authorized to play the movie, and searched my computer for the file, but it seems like it has retreated into the dark corners of my hard drive. Is there anything I can do to get it back other than re-downloading?

    Instead of searching your computer, have you tried searching iTunes using the search box at the top right of your *iTunes Library* window?
    I suggest this because the filename of the movie could be very different to the movie name, so searching for a movie called "Star Wars" in Windows Explorer may not find it if it's called "Episode IV". Also, a movie could be located in Podcasts, Movies, iTunes U, depending on what it is and how it has been tagged by the producer.
