First referenced graphic in pdf turns gray

[Christiane Crety (CC)]

Hi Art.

I downloaded the hotfix, but that didn't help. If I print to PS and then
run it through the Distiller it works fine. So that's what I'll do for
now...

Thanks for your advice though!

 

-And by the way: The other problem I had with FrameMaker wanting to quit
when I generate pdf disappeared all of a sudden yesterday. I can't think
of anything I've done that should make a difference (this was before I
installed the hotfix), but the problem is gone...

J

-Christiane

Because you're on XP, it'd be a good idea to install Microsoft's Hotfix
for PostScript printer issues. 
It addresses a number of issues in addition to the ones listed, so in
general it would be a great idea (IMHO, of course).

No it is not the same, I just tried printing to PS and then distilling
and that works fine! I guess that's what I'll have to do then :-)

Is it the same if you print to PS and distill the PS?
