Unable to generated a pdf file in framemaker12

I have created a book and even though I have the latest update, FM 12 won't create a PDF from the book. I get a log file and a text file and that's it. It was working yesterday. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

@medic75,
I'm not completely certain with just the PDF Creator present, but try this route:
Print > Setup (for Adobe PDF) > Properties > Default settings (a.k.a. joboptions) > Edit > Fonts tab > When embedding fails...

Unable to generate a PDF file for 1 of 3 books

I'm making three documents (books) in FrameMaker and then converting to PDF. The first two books generated to PDF with no "major" problems. There were a couple of glitches here and there but most were simply operator error. This forum solved two of my problems.
Now, with the third book, I can't generate the PDF and get error messages in the log file. I've gone back and triple checked everything and can't find a thing that's different between this last book and the first two. I've used the same templates and all of the paragraph formats and character formats are identical in all three documents.
I'm setting all of the PDF setup parameters the same. In the Adobe PDF setup, I've made certain that the "Rely on system fonts only..." check box is unchecked.
One of the error messages in the log file says,
%%[ Warning: LucidaSans cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (B&H) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
This would make sense if Lucida Sans font were only used in this one book. But it's used in the first two books as well and they generate as PDF with no problems. In fact, just to make sure, I went back and generated one of the first books over again and it worked perfectly.
The only significant (?) difference in the third book is that it is much larger than the first two. It runs to 150 pages while the first two are 45 pages and 70 pages. But I've worked with books as large as 450 pages in the past.
I've been creating the PDF documents by the FM Save as PDF feature. But because of this problem, I downloaded and installed a trial version of Acrobat X. Then printed to PS file, opened with Acrobat and tried to distill. Got the same results and the same error messages.
My experience with FrameMaker and Adobe in general is that error messages and indicated results may be cryptic and sometimes have absolutely nothing to do with the actual problem. In any event, I'm totally snowed by this one. (I really shouldn't pick on Adobe for that. Microsoft is much worse when it comes to vague and cryptic error messages!)
Sure wish I had a Mac right now. Or Linux. Or...

Thank you very much for the input. That makes perfect sense to me. The Lucida fonts are, indeed, all from Bigelow & Holmes (B&H). So that explains the difficulties I was encountering. Now, here’s where it gets a little weird.
I created the first two pdf files at work. I work about half of the time from home and was trying to create the pdf file yesterday at home. And that didn’t work. This morning, I loaded all of the files back into the computer in the office and tried again. No problem! Created a nice looking 162-page pdf file. Oh, I did say it got weird, didn’t I? Well, the computer at home and the one at work are both running the same version of Win 7 Pro, the same versions of FM10 and Acrobat X. And the Lucida fonts installed (probably the default set with Windows) are all B&H fonts. That’s right; the same on both computers.
Your input was very helpful because I might have continued spinning my wheels for another day or so on this thing. As it is, I’m considering the matter solved because I just won’t try to make pdf files from these three documents at home. The other alternative would be to use a different font. Umm, no, not at this time. All of the body paragraphs are Lucida Sans. What a task that would be! The other alternative, of course, is to spend a few bucks and by fonts for my home computer that have the proper licensing.
Again, thanks!

How to preserve a background color, when generating a PDF file

I am trying to create a PDF file from some application. Please note that the picture in this application has the black background. So I invoke a Print command and set a printer as "Adobe PDF". As a result, I have generated
a brilliant PDF file of my picture, but on the WHITE background. When selecting the Adobe PDF printer, I have looked through all its settings ( in the Adobe PDF settings, I have found several tabs: General, Images, Fonts, Color, Advanced, PDF/X), none of them generated the original background color.
So how can a generate a PDF file, having the original background color (black, in my case) ?
Oleg

Now I feel that the background definition in the Adobe PDF printer and the background definition in the application the Adobe PDF printer is invoked from -- two different things. So I guess how can I define the black background in the Adobe PDF printer? I cannot find such settings.

Parameter issue - report not generating any pdf files

Hi All,
I'm trying to run a report which generates pdf files. Is there any limitation on the parameter string size? For one of the parameter values - '11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' the report is not generating any pdf files. I assumed the reason is of the keyword 'AS' in it and created another parameter value - '11F EA Accept nonhonor AnS-SOM-SON_20091202074331997', but it is also not generating any pdf files. I get this message from Adobe Reader " There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be opened because it has no pages. " The report is working normally when i hardcode the same parameter values into the logic. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks.

Tim,
That report is working normally for all the parameter values, except this one. It is not working only if i pass the value - ''11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' as a parameter. It is generating the pdf files when i hardcode the same value into sql query logic in the data template, instead of passing it as a parameter. Please advise.
Thanks.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?
kim

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

How to generate a pdf file using javascript?

I'm receiving the following error at 'addImage' function.

How to generate a pdf file

hi i want to generate a pdf file using a java program, i have a string of xml format i want read the string and get each node of the string then
pass it to generate pdf.how to do this, the problem is if i want to read
xml then i must use org.w3c.dom.Element, but for pdf generation i must use com.lowagie.text.Element , so how to solve this.
please help.
rafel

Well, obviously XML and PDF are two very different kinds of format, and it's up to you how one is going to be mapped into the other. There are at least two PDF APIs available free, but it's not a trivial format to manage.
It's impossible to give you any more advice with the limited information you've supplied.

Unable to generate users.xml file

Hi All,
I have installed OCS 10.1.2.0.0.and applied the cumulative patchset and now on OCS 10.1.2.3.0
Now i am trying to migrate users and their mail box from exchange 5.5 running on Windows NT 4 server.
I have installed the esmigration tool on a machine running Windows XP SP2, Outlook 2003 client installed. I ran the tool and successfully created the system profile. Once done when i try extract users which should generate a users.xml file, i get an error saying "Unable to generate users.xml" file. When i look at the log file i can see the error which says invalid domain which is not true. The domain name is right and i have repeated the process more than 10 times, but still keep getting the same error. I tried using IMPA to IMAP as well as with MBOX , but still the same error. Has anyone seen such a behavior ?
So i tried to choose plan B. As i do not have too many users i decided to export the users mail box as a pst file and then import it. This is not a problem, but what i do not know is that what do i need to do to enable coexistence mode on exchange, meaning when an email arrives, it first goes to exchange and then forwards a copy to OCS.Please note on my research i have found some notes on how to do this on exchange 2000 on a windows 2000 server with AD, but i couldn't find anything for Exchange 5.5 on NT4.
Any assistance on this would be very helpful.
Regards,
Dipak

Hi Dipak,
If you do the migration from the Windows 2000 machine with outlook 2000 installed, and connected to Exchange 5.5 via an admin profile, then you will not see this issue.
In case, it is not possible for you to move to new machine where above said environment exists, then you can request for a patch of migration tool that has fix for this issue. Please send an email to [email protected] or [email protected], for the fixed version.
For your co-existence query: Please make use of alternate-recipient setup that exists on exchange 5.5 user properties. So, the emails will be routed to both exchange, and ocs server mailboxes of that user.
If you have any further queries please send an email to [email protected]
Thanks,
Venkat

Unable to generate Dynamic PDF

Hi,
I created a xdp file from xml and xsl files and then used Form Server to generate dynamic pdf file. The xdp file has lot of javascript. The pdf file generated by form server does not change colors of labels of the fields, when incorrect values are entered into the fields (accomplished using javascript). But the xdp file used to generate this pdf when run within Adobe Form Designer shows changes of colors of labels. I observed few differences between the two approaches. One being dynamicRenderer tag. How can I accomplish the changes of colors in the pdf generated using form server?
Thanks a lot in advance

To force the generated PDF to be a dynamic PDF add the following option to the option string passed into the renderForm() method:
RenderAtClient=true
