[Framers] PDF creation with Acrobat Standard Dc installed

[Fred Ridder]

Those are not new options. They have been part of the Print dialog approximately forever.

Print to File means that Frame will pipe the printer output data stream to a file rather than the printer port. If you have selected a PostScript printer (including the Adobe PDF virtual printer as well as a physical printer model), the output will be a PostScript file, which you would presumably then explicitly distill to PDF if you have Adobe Acrobat Distiller. If you have selected a non-PostScript printer, the file will be the correct language for the selected printer (e.g., PCL for an HP printer), which will not be useful for producing a PDF.

Generate Acrobat Data does exactly that -- it generates (and includes in the PostScript printer stream) all the code necessary to make a PDF interactive (e.g., ID tags for the paragraph that are targets of hyperlinks, hyperlinks to those IDs and external URLs). When printing to a physical printer, all that kind of information is extraneous, so Frame doesn't generate it. If your final deliverable is PDF (either directly or produced by Distiller from a PostScript file), you want to tell Frame to include all this data that Acrobat knows how to handle.

HI,

Windows 10
FM 12 ver 12.0.4.445
Acrobat Standard DC

I have just recently received a new PC and Acrobat Standard DC, at the same time. Lots of changes at once.

I have am using File -> Print Book with the settings as in attached file.

I have managed to generate a valid PDF, but I was wondering if someone could please explain the two check box settings on the left most Dialog Box (Print Book)?:


1.       Print to File


2.       Generate Acrobat Data



I did have to uncheck the checkbox 'Rely on system fonts; do not use document fonts' on the Adobe PDF Document Properties Dialog Box, though.



Thanks.
