FM 8 and FM 9 - impossible to create large sized PDFs

This is on Windows Vista, FM 9 and FM 8:

1) Save as PDF does not work when the paper size is 1188 mm x 840 mm (A0 format).

A blank pdf is created or a pdf with a size of 1 mm x 1 mm.

Same with A1 format 594 mm x 841 mm.

A2 format (420 mm x 594 mm) works.

Has anyone seen this before?

2) When I create a blank document, type some text and save as pdf, FM tells me to turn off the pdf option to only embed system fonts because of a missing Times font - a font I did not use in this document.

Are these bugs and if yes, where can I file them?

I have installed the microsoft hotfix that was mentioned in this forum. Same result.

Greetings,
Fridolin Klostermeier

Do you get the same result when you Print to the Adobe logical printer, the preferred way of creating a PDF?

Also, it sounds as if the Adobe PDF printer is NOT set as the system default printer... Using the Adobe printer instance is the recommended setting.

And finally, are you running with the full version of Acrobat, or just the limited distill-only version that ships with Frame. If it is the full install, what version is it?

Hi,

If the resolution is too high, blank small pages may be created.
See here:

Oversize PDF files may contain blank pages or very small pages (FrameMaker 7.x on Windows)

Best regards

Winfried

You also should apply Microsoft's hotfix for PDF problems from the
GDI. See this TCS blog for details:

Also, verify that you have the latest 8.0p277 update version for FM8, as there were some issues with "A0" page sizes listed in the ReadMe file for ver 8p266.

Updates here: <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows>

Note that FM updates aren't "roll-up" so each one needs to be applied individually, preferably with a reboot between each update.
