There's a FrameMaker 9.0.1 patch available if you run Help > Updates. This will patch FrameMaker 9 up to 9.0p230. There's a couple of fixes in there for CMYK PDFs. Cheers, SEan

Dov Isaacs from Adobe posted this on the Free Framers list (Free Framers is provided by OmSys, makers of the highly esteemed MIF2Go, see: <http://www.omsys.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/list/framers> List of major issues resolved in this update (from the "readme"): 1. (Ref‐ 1838069): Type‐ahead functionality of Control key shortcuts (Ctrl+0 to Ctrl+9) does not work. However the following are the changes from legacy behavior (which are not fixed) : 2274062 Search in type‐ahead area doesn't auto‐start if the next chars match with another tag name 2273267 When focus is on type‐ahead area, with a tag displayed in it, clicking in the document applies that displayed tag. So, one should use �ESC� key to exit from the status bar�s type‐ahead area. 2. (Ref‐ 1884451): When the starting letter is pressed the fly‐out menu of the status bar applies the value automatically if there is a SINGLE entry 3. (Ref ‐ 2252804): Inability to control index "see" characteristics with DITA indexterms The user shall now be able to configure the following things about the index see & see‐also features of DITA v1.1: ? The text that shall be used for DITA index see/see‐also keywords. By default it shall be �See� and � See Also� respectively. ? The character format to be used for displaying DITA index see/see‐also text. By default it shall be �Emphasis� for both. These can be configured by using the following entries in the ditafm.ini file: SeeString=See SeeAlsoString=See Also SeeCharFmt=Emphasis SeeAlsoCharFmt=Emphasis Earlier these strings & the character formats were imposed by FrameMaker itself. The user had no mechanism to modify these at the time of importing a DITA document. 4. (Ref ? 2248303): Dita val filter is not working correctly if we have conditional text applied on some elements Following issues related to DITA filtering feature have been identified & fixed corresponding to this bug: ? DITAVAL filter incorrect for "Gen Compound FM document" with a tag (in Show) applied to a content to be filtered. ? DITAVAL filter incorrect for "Gen FM book with FM components" with a tag (in Show) applied to a content to be filtered. ? DITAVAL filter incorrect for "Gen Compound FM document" with a tag (in Hide) applied to a content NOT to be filtered. 5. (Ref‐ 2268619): Save As CMYK PDF ‐ imported PDFs are rendered as RGB previews only. 6. (Ref‐ 2273344): FrameMaker crashes if a wrong file name is given in browse dialog while inserting a new topicref (using element catalog) in a Map/BookMap file. 7. (Ref‐ 1930191): The Para designer panel gets updated even when it is in minimized mode. 8. (Ref ? 2253035): Incorrect messages appear in XML Schema Log while using German Locale. 9. (Ref ‐ 2251492 ) :Graphics imported by copy are getting dropped in CMYK PDF if ConvertGraphicsToEPS flag is On in maker.ini and a RGB PDF is created before creating the PDF. 10. (Ref ? 2284304) : File‐>preferences‐>interface‐ > Hide Panel on Close ,should be checked OFF by default. This preference was ON by default in 9.0 making the panels stay open in the background resulting in slow speed of the system. Now with this fix, the make.ini in the installation directory will have "HidePanelsOnClose=Off" entry. Pls. note that if old maker.ini is already present in the user area, one needs to manually make "HidePanelsOnClose=Off" in it. If no maker.ini is present in user area, FrameMaker will create one on the first launch automatically

The patch also installs a PDF that tells the fixes into your Adobe FrameMaker 9 main directory. Cheers.

Apparently, there is a minor issue with the Command button in the designers with this patch. Here's a workaround from Adobe: ***************** a) Make sure �Hide Panels on Close� if OFF in File->Preferences->Interface dialog (once we do this, this setting persists for all subsequent FM session) b) Close Para/Character/Table Designer once and reopen. This will fix the issue. (need to be done once for FM session) ****************

Hi, I have now tried the "save as PDF" command for creating CMYK pdf, and this is really a great news for us. But the problem is that it still has some bugs - even with the patch installed. The Cmyk option does not send all fonts over to the pdf file, which is really bad. If the "convert to RGB" is checked the pdf is correct, with all fonts embedded. This does not happend with all fonts. But "TimesNewRoman PS" and "ITC Frankling Gothic Demi" does not work with cmyk, but is correct in RGB. Why?

Hans, I tested with those same fonts and am NOT seeing the same problem. All of the fonts are properly embedded in the resulting PDF I get. Note: FM does not actually embed the fonts into the intermediate postscript file, it just inserts a reference to these. It is then up to Distiller to find the appropriate fonts and then embed them. Distiller only looks for fonts in the folders that it has been told to look in and ignores all system settings. Have you verified that those fonts are located where Distiller knows about it? Are you using the exact same joboptions file for Distiller when creating the different PDFs? What other settings do you have enabled, bookmarks, tagged PDF, Named destinations for all paragraphs? Note: for CMYK PDFs (which are destined for print), you should not have any of these options enabled.

Hi Arnis My Distiller has several references to fonts on my Computer, so this should not be the problem. I am using Suitcase, but my collegaue uses ATM and has the same problem. All the boxes are un-checked regarding bookmarks, tags and links, and I am using the same distiller job. The only difference is the "convert CMYK colors to RGB" checkbox. When I check this box, all of my fonts are embedded in the pdf file, but when I uncheck this box, which is "the big news" for us in 9.0p230, some fonts just drops out. hc

Hans, Have you applied the Microsoft hotfix for FrameMaker as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2008/07/hotfix_for_framemaker_1.html This does address drop out issues in PDFs.
