I have just installed FrameMaker on a new computer. The install appears to be successful, but I always get the following message in Distiller when I try to Save as PDF: Error in PDFX4 2007.joboptions: /CheckCompliance out of range Printing to PDF does not work either. I have Adobe Acrobat 8 installed and am able to create PDFs from other applications. I also have InDesign CS3 and for awhile thought that might be the problem. Has anyone run into this and have any ideas? Thanks.

What version FM are you installing? If it's not a rev that was released after Acrobat 8, FrameMaker won't see the current valid job options because the default location for the job options changed. You can fix this by copying the new job options to the old default folder instead of the new one Adobe Distiller uses (see <http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/333453.html> in the Adobe Support database). I think putting a shortcut from the old location to the new one would also work, but I don't have the problem and so haven't tried it. Art

Joy, Are you creating the PDF for a press workflow? Are you using the correct joboptions file for the print services provider? How are you using live transparency (which is what this particular joboptions file is for) in FrameMaker files? Have you tried different joboptions for creating the PDF?

Art, Thanks for your suggestion. I only had one custom job option, which I created during troubleshooting. I tried copying this job option to the folder under All Users but it still didn't work. I originally just wanted to use the High Quality Print job option or Standard job option and these didn't work. Thanks, Joy

Arnis, I have tried several job options. I really just want to create a standard PDF for viewing online or printing by users if they want a print-out. I tried standard, high quality, and then a custom job option that I created in order to switch the Compliance Standard to PDF/A-1b. I had read that it should be this option when doing some research online during troubleshooting. I am not using live transparency and don't even know what that is. Thanks, Joy

Joy, Try creating the PDFs without setting any of the compliance standard options. The "A" standard is for archival purposes and it's a dumbed down version of a PDF, AFAIK. You didn't mention what happened when you tried either the standard or high-quality job options. Did you get a PDF then?
