[Framers] PDFs and FM 2019

[Reng Winfried]

Hi Dan,

I also have FM 2019 64 bit and could not install SetPrint.
However, I think it's not needed any longer (only, if you
want to print to a file).
If you create a PDF via Save As PDF or via the Publish pod
(with Use Acrobat Distiller for PDF generation activated),
the PDF is created correctly. I do not notice any difference,
when the printer is set to a physical printer or to Adobe PDF.

When you create the PDF without Distiller, then you do not
need SetPrint anyway.

I also have some issues when FrameMaker creates the PDF.
I hope that this gets fixed soon!

Best regards

Winfried

1. Sundorne's Setprint no longer appears to work, presumably because it was a 32-bit application and is incompatible with 64-bit FM. Is there a 64-bit version of that utility or some other method to always set the printer to Adobe PDF whenever opening a document? The error I receive is as follows:

2. More of an FYI than an issue: By default, FrameMaker 2019 is configured to NOT use Acrobat Distiller to create PDFs... why I have no idea. When I used the default config, my PDFs had all sorts of missing elements throughout the document... placed graphics, running feet, you name it. It was only when I checked the box to use Distiller that I got fully intact PDFs.
