Printing a ditamap file structure

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Roger

I'm using FrameMaker 9.0p255 in Windows XP, but I'm seeing the same behavior
over here. My workarounds:

   - Save the ditamap as Fm 8, open the .fm file in Fm8 and save it as PDF.
   No problem.
   - Open the ditamap in the free IBM Task Modeler. There, you have some
   nice views for your ditamap, for example hierarchical diagram (like PostIt
   notes) or indented list. You can simply print this view to a PDF file.

Kind regards

Yves
