Hi -
I always distill a .ps file but had a client with cover art that would only print using Frame's "Save As PDF". I couldn't tell you why, but I don't really trust making a PDF this way, so I would extract just the cover page from the "Save As PDF" file, and replace the cover in a PDF I made by distilling a .ps.
If this happened to you out of the blue, Robert's probably right and you'll have to uninstall and reinstall to fix it. The "Save As" might do for now though, if you're in a pinch.
Can I tack on a related question? Am I right in not fully trusting a PDF made by "Save As"? Or do I just have deep-seated psychological issues? ;-)
Thanks for letting me glom onto your question Tammy!

HI All,
I have a series of 4 manuals for a longtime client, with each series having
a unique graphic for the FrontCover.fm file. The graphic is a PDF with
bleeding edges that is imported into an anchored frame on the first page of
the two page file. For like a gazillion years, I have been able to print the
entire book, including the FrontCover.fm file, to a postscript file, and
then distill this file to produce a PDF using just the Standard print job
option. Now, all of a sudden - blam. . . when the print job starts, it gets
stuck on the FrontCover.fm file and goes nowhere. It just spins and spins
and I eventually have to kill the process. As I am using the Standard print
job, I haven't changed a single setting and I am at a loss to understand why
this has happened/what has happened. Of course, removing the Front cover
file resolves the issue, but that isn't an option . .. this has to be part
of the final PDF production.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated, including any settings that you could
recommend providing.
TIA,
TVB
