Creating PDF Files from FrameMaker Documents

An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?

Expert Offers Checklist To Consult Before Uploading PDFs

In an era when paperless publishing makes people rush to deadline and take less time in the quality-control realm, we've created a Web full of hastily produced PDFs that are full of errors, take too long to download or are otherwise amateurish in nature.

Fit in Window vs. Fit Width

When you create named destinations, make sure that they are in the view that you want them to be when created because that is the view that will be applied when that named destination is called up later. Also, remember to use the Document Properties preferences to force Acrobat to use the preferences that were assigned to the document (as opposed to Acrobat's own viewing preferences). You may find that your file will open and view differently in every Acrobat application that is used if you do not save the document with your preferences.

PDF as an Online Document Format

In January (2000), I asked about TechWhirlers' experiences as users of PDF documents online. The specific questions were: Do you notice a difference between reading PDF online and reading HTML online? Do you have a preference either way? If so, which one? Here's the summary or responses and a synopsis of further information I've been tracking down. I'm sorry it's taken so long: like many an unplanned project it got way out of hand. I've tried to restrict this message to issues of interest to the list; if I've failed please accept my apologies.
