I have a FrameMaker book that prints to PDF as expected until page 29. Then it prints only part of the page, as if it has to print through a window in the upper right quadrant of the page. That's the only area where text appears. This continues through the rest of the 75-page PDF file. The pages print with no problem from FrameMaker 6. 

I checked to make sure the missing text is not invisible--I am unable to select any invisible text in the PDF using the text tool. 

We've ruled out the printer drivers--same problem happens with any printer driver. Plus, I verified that I am using the correct Adobe Postscript driver and PPD for WinNT. Other FM books print to PDF with no trouble. I am using Acrobat 5.05, but we see the same problem when we test it on Acrobat 4.05. 

These files were converted from Word to Frame. I see no problems on the master pages of the Frame files. Besides--in a file in which the same master page is used throughout, not all the pages print funny. 

I copied all the text in the Frame file and pasted into a new Frame file. The PDF created from this new file has the same problem. 

Edit: I also tried roundtripping between Frame and MIF. No luck. 

I tried searching for previous posts that deal with this, but had no luck. I could use some trouble-shooting tips for this one. Thanks for any ideas. 

Perplexed, 
Jeanie
