FrameMaker 11 cannot print a .ps file: others on Adobe forums agree

[Jeff Coatsworth]

I'm getting the same issue too with a fresh download of TCS4 last week - FM 11.0.0.380. I created a couple of dummy files based on the Harvard outline factory template, then created a new book to include the test files. Saved everything, reopened the book and tried to print the book - crashed right away when selecting the "Print Book" command; then tried to print book with all files open - crash again; then tried to use "Print Selected Files.." command - crashed again.

Then I tried a legacy FM test project - upgraded all the files and book to FM 11, and tried printing book to PDF printer - crashed. Save As PDF works for the book and printing individual .fm files to PDF works fine too. Not a game-stopper in my workflow, but a bit of an annoyance that will have to get fixed fairly soon I think. I'll be sending log files and examples into Adobe tech when I get back into my office next week.

Rob...

"Nobody" is a bit strong. I can print a book to PS from FM11 without trouble. When I try to print an earlier version FM book to PS, nothing happens unless I open all of the files in that book (no crash, just nothing).

It does appear that there are a number of print to PS/PDF issues that *some* people are having. Hopefully, Adobe can replicate these problems and address them in a future update.

Be sure to send in your files and exact steps to replicate the crash.

Cheers,

Dear Framers:
If you are thinking of upgrading to FM 11, think again
This is definitely an Adobe TCS4 problem. Please look at the Adobe forums,
six complaints.

What I did:
I created a new book in TCS4 using FM template files book, Index and TOC.
The fresh book crashed as soon as I hit print.
I have miffed
I have huffed
I have puffed
I am now miffed
It is obvious from the Adobe Forums that nobody can print a from FM11 to PS
This is a new and very expensive product, one would expect some elementary
testing of this key function.
