Distorted printing of rounded rectangle

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 22:27:53 GMT

Hi,

I have added rounded rectangle shapes to my FrameMaker document. They have a fill and a border using the fill and pen pattern options. We have overlaid a text box on top. We then PDF the document. When we print the PDF on any of our company printers, they look fine, color or B&W. We've sent them to a printer for color printing and are having an issue. The border line on the right-hand side "sometimes" has a bit of a shadow and "sometimes" the line becomes thicker in the center on the longer shapes. Might be hard to visualize, but at any rate, the line does not maintain a consistent thickness on this particular printer. I don't have the specifications on the printer at this point. Has anyone seen this type of distortion, and if so, is there a fix to the problem? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

FrameMaker 9, XP SP3

French Language symbols

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 20:50:57 GMT

Does anyone know how to create the double symbols in the following example within FrameMaker 9 (Windows XP SP3)?

Are there Alt numbers that will do it. I'm doing a copy/paste special of French text from Word into Frame and the symbols are coming in as quotes instead. I do have my system set up for the French Canadian Language along with the paragraph and character styles set to French Canadian.:

Shaded, rounded rectangle w/border. HOW?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 23:21:51 GMT

HI,

I've been able to (poorly) manually draw a border around a shaded rounded rectangle. It's not pretty. also, I've created the shaded rounded rectangle and a slightly larger bordered rectangle (no shade) and grouped them together, but the interior shaded rectangle doesn't quite fill the border on all sides no matter how I size it.

Isn't there a way to do this automagically?

I'm using FM9. Help! Thx.

Multiple dictionaries

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 23:21:48 GMT

I'm running Frame in American English, using the American English dictionary. I've been reading some of the posts, but I'm wondering if I can

1. Just use the CD to install only the UK English dictionary without re-installing Frame?

2. Be able to use either or both dictionaries, whenever, when editing a document without having to change my system language settings?

Ultimately, in this particular document, I want it in UK English, and to spell check it in UK English, but keep my other docs in American English.

I'm running Frame 9.0p230 (yes, I know I should install the patch), on a Windows XP 2002 SP2, IntellDuo CPU, 1.60 GHz, 2.9 GB RAM.

Can anyone answer these questions, and have any other advice before I get started? Thanks,

Yogi

Univers 47 fonts display in FM, but don't PDF correctly.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:14:33 GMT

Running FrameMaker 9 with embedded PDF on Windows XP 2002, SP2. Fonts will print okay to system printers, but are changed to Times New Roman when I PDF. Does anyone know why or how to fix this? Is it something I need to do in FM or ? I tried adding them to the embedded list when doing the Save to PDF, but they don't seem to hold. The Univers 55 fonts do fine. Any thoughts? Thanks,

X7 WinHelp files crashing on compile

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:13:41 GMT

One of our locations is encountering this problem: We are facing a daunting task in the last couple of months to work with RoboHelp in publishing our WinHelp4 files for our products. The project crashes when compiling the help files resulting in losing all the changes which we have done for the current sprint and previous ones. I tried researching this issue in the Adobe website and did not find any workarounds. The new tool RoboHelp X7 is crashing with errors not only on my machine but also on other machines. As a result, I had to go back to my old version of RH X5. I generated the compiled help file successfully after cleaning my machine of the window and office updates. I had to re-install the Windows XP operating system twice on my machine to get rid of the new window and office updates. However, this only gave me a small reprieve to compile the help file for a brief time. But once again the same problem has re-appeared and I am totally at my wits end how to resolve this issue with our stated releases in the month of December 2008. Following is the compile error which leads to the project crashing.

"Microsoft Help Workshop has encountered an error and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem..." I'm sure the error report was not sent to Microsoft. Has anyone encountered this issue, and if so, can you provide any assistance? Thanks very much.
