Internal error while creating pdf files

Mar 30, 2012 2:44 AM

Good morning.

 

I have problems while creating pdf files from FM documents,using FM9: I get an internal error, see here an example:

 

Errore FM.jpg

 

=== Header Begin ===
Internal Error: 9004, 6921628, 9677518, 0

[...]

 

I don't have a clue of what's wrong. I tried to uninstall the software and then to install it again, with the same result.

 

Can you please help me?

 

Kind regards.

    The error code isn't going to do you much good here - this is a user-to-user forum; only Adobe engineers can make sense of the dump log that created. You have sent it to them, right?

     

    Getting back to your issue - how are you trying to create a PDF? Save As or printing to the AdobePDF printer instance? Give us some more info on your system - we can see that you're running FM9 p255, but on what o/s? If XP, have you installed the MS hotfix? What's in your FM doc? Did it work before or has it changed and now errors out? Does it update without any errors?

    Hello Antonio,

     

    Can you answer the following questions, so that I may understand the cause for the problem.

     

    1) Is it coming with a specific document or Book in FrameMaker. Please verify with a dummy New Book or Document and see if you are able to reproduce it.

     

    2) Was this Document created on this same machine and Fm9.0.255p OR was it shared with you by someone.

     

    3) Can you try to do File print and select Adobe PDF driver on this and see if that generated the PDF.

     

    4) Were you able to generate a PDF out of this before?

     

    I would look forward to your response.

     

    Thanks,

    Anjaneai

    > Getting back to your issue - how are you trying to create a PDF? Save As or printing to the AdobePDF printer instance?

     

    I've tried in both ways, and it's exactly the same: I get the error.

     

    > If XP, have you installed the MS hotfix?

     

    Windows is regularly updated through Windows Update.

     

    > What's in your FM doc?

     

    The document is based on some tables (it's a pricelist for our products), there are also some links to some .eps files (which are correctly displayed on screen, so the path is correct).

     

    > Did it work before or has it changed and now errors out?

     

    The file (or better the book made of about fifteen FM files) was created by someone else, on another PC. When I open it, I get the error. When I send my files to another person, he can create pdf files without any problem.

     

    > Does it update without any errors?

     

    Yes, I regularly update Framemaker without any error.

     

    Thanks for your help!!

    The matter is that my document is rather complicated and it’s difficult for me to create something similar. If I create a very simple document with few lines, one drawing and one table, and in this case the pdf is created without any error.

     

    > 2) Was this Document created on this same machine and Fm9.0.255p OR was it shared with you by someone.

     

    The document was created by another person on another machine, I think it was created many years ago and then updated year after year.

     

    > 3) Can you try to do File print and select Adobe PDF driver on this and see if that generated the PDF.

     

    Sorry but I haven’t understood this; can you please explain this?

     

    > 4) Were you able to generate a PDF out of this before?

     

    For a short time I could create a pdf file of this document, but after a while the error appeared again. Before this “short good time” I had re-installed some fonts, but I had all the necessary fonts also before, and in fact now with the same fonts I have the error. Anyway I suspect there might be a relation between fonts and the problem to generate pdf files.

     

    When I get the error I get a .tps file, might this file be useful to understand what's wrong?

     

    Thanks for your help!

    I see!

     

    Now, I would suggest you try these steps one after another and check after each step, if it solves or not and hopefully your problem should get solved --

     

    1) Download and apply the Hotfix and make sure you reboot after that.

     

    http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2008/07/hotfix_for_framemaker_1.html

     

    2) C:/Windows/System32 Look for FNTCache.DAT and Move it to your dektop and try again.

     

     

    3) I would advise you to just launch each doucment in the frameMaker Windwo, so that all the documents in side the book would get automatically updated in Fm9 format, like you said, the Book/Documents were created several years agon, it could be a possibility that they are not properly upgarded to your version.

     

     

    Fonts could be a problem, but first, I would like to see the outcome of these steps.

     

    Thanks,

    Anjaneai

    Hello again,

     

    I've installed the hotfix (before I didn't know anything about it) and now I can create pdf files without that error! After having installed the hotfix I have also deleted the file FNTCache.dat without trying to create pdf files before, so I don't know if the solution was the hotfix or the .dat file, but I think it was the hotfix.

     

    Thank you both really a lot for your help!!

     

    I have one more question: if I create a pdf file with "save as pdf", press quality, I get a 1.280 kB file while if I print on Adobe pdf (again press quality) I get a 1.710 kB file. What's the reason of the bigger size of the second file? Does this mean that it's better to print on the Adobe pdf printer instead of saving as pdf?
