FM 8 print to PDF generates bad file names. Why?

I use Framemaker 8 on Windows XP.

I have a book with thirty chapters, for a total of something like 1100 pages.

I updated the book, generated table of contents and Index files and need to print in a set of files PDF, a single PDF by chapter.

But when I do that, all PDFs are badly named. Instead of being named Chapter_1.pdf, Chapter_2.pdf, etc., that they are named BookTitle (Chapter_1.pdf, BookTitle (Chapter_2.pdf, etc.))

I know that I managed to generate files with the correct names in the past, and I tried all afternoon to figure out how I did it. Nothing in the dialog boxes appears to control this behavior of appellation... What is it? And more importantly, how can I solve this?

The ' * ' technique is the old, standard way to do it. Note that in FM8, the print dialog contains an additional line that asks you if you want to print the book as separate files or a single file. It is a new feature introduced with FM8 and unfortunately, uses the name of the book as part of the naming convention.

Another BAD (broken as expected) function...

  • Print to PDF generates additional page 'report '.

    When I print to pdf from Word, IE, or any other program, it creates an extra page in the pdf file that lists the file name, directory, model, title, subject, etc...  See screenshot below.  This extra page is really annoying to have to delete every time.  Is there a setting I can change to not have this extra page create every time?  I use Adobe Acrobat 9.  Thank you.

    This is a problem of configuration Ms. In WORD, select the Adobe PDF printer, and then at the bottom of the print screen select Options (I'm looking at WORD 2007). You will be on the view menu, and under Print Options, make sure that the printed Document properties is disabled. One way to test the question is printing to any other printer and you will probably get the extra page, unless you disable this option. So you not speak a WORD option, an option in Acrobat. It is often the case that the problems seen when printing are driven application and not Acrobat leads.

  • bad file name displayed in the Adobe DC Pro tab

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to change the documentname tab. For example: I created a file with the name xxx.pdf. Now, I have made a few changes and saved the document. I want to give the document a new name. If I rename the file in windows Explorer, the file will get the new name, but Adobe DC Pro displays the old name in the tab.

    Thank you very much

  • When you attempt to print to PDF extension shows like ps, why

    Recently, I had problems with trying to print PDFs of the documents created by others. I use comment tools and would like to make their 'uneditable '. Normally in the past, that I did it by printing the document to the pdf format, but for some reason lately any output file appears as a ps file? Looking at the original file, it seems that they have been drawn in the ps. Can I fix or what I have to go to the source of the file and ask them to create a PDF vs ps?

    I use Acrobat - 9 Standard, so maybe that's the question?

    Thank you

    In the print dialog box disable the entry "Print to File".

    With Acrobat Distiller, you can convert PS to PDF.

  • Print the PDF document with the name and the date and time of printing from the printer

    Hello

    I am fairly new to this...

    I have a PDF document and when I print it, I want the name of the printer and the print date/time to be shown on the printer output.

    I have several printers (some common and some on the network) and do not necessarily use the default. I would like the name of the printer used to be printed on the document.

    With : var = this.getField ("Printer"); h.value = app.printerNames; I am able to get the list of all available printers, but I just need one that is used.

    For the date and time, using the var f = this.getField ("Today"); f.value = util.printd ("j/mmm/yyyy", new Date()); gives me the time of when the document is opened, not when the document is printed. (or maybe I'm missing something?)

    I guess the question of the date/time is not major, because there is usually not much difference between the time that you open the document and the time you print it.

    I'm more interested in the name of the printer.

    I use Acrobat 9 Pro to edit my PDF document.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you!

    The name of the printer is a property of the PrintParams object. This property is updated before the PDF is sent to the printer and the name of the printer selected catalogue user interface is available in the ' Will Print' event.»

    In the document 'Will Print' action, you can use:

    pp var = this.getPrintParams ();
    this.getField('PrinterName').value = pp.printerName;

  • Plugins Eclipse generate bad profile name (3.3)

    Hello

    one thing that I stumbled upon: If you create a project of IMP - NG, plugins Eclipse ME generate a wrong value for microedition profile. They write ' IMP - NG - 2.0 ", that the correct value is 'IMP - NG". If you run the project with an incorrect value, you simply no reaction. If you open the log console or the emulator device, you will see an exception:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
    -com.sun.midp.installer.Version.initFromComponents (), bci = 149

    It's problem of MTJ plugin on that we are based. It cannot be fixed on the side of ME SDK, but you can use after the workaround:

    1. go in the Application descriptor > tab Application descriptor
    2. change manually:
    Microedition-profile: IMP - NG - 2.0
    TO
    Microedition-profile: IMP - NG

  • DWG to PDF using PDF Generator ES2

    Hello

    I'm trying to use LiveCycle PDF Generator ES2 to convert a DWG file to pdf using LiveCycle UI admin and the LiveCycle API webservice. In both cases, I got the error:

    'This file type is not supported by LiveCycle PDF Generator ES2.'

    • Why I get this error, even if "dwg" files are listed in a supported file format?
    • Is there any specific configuration files 'dwg' to pdf conversion, given that other file formats that I tried (Office formats and image) is converted successfully?

    Please note that I use a trial version of Adobe LiveCycle provided by Adobe.

    Greetings!

    I'm not really any script, so I could really use some help.

    First of all – and especially:

    I have an Acrobat X Pro PDF form with a submit form button that is routed to a specific e-mail address.

    The native of Sharepoint and generates a file name long pdf filled with characters '% '.

    Is there a way to specify the name generated for the PDF file?

    I would be very happy if I can get the above scenario work...

    But I know that the question will be...

    Is to join a field of shape to this PDF file name anyway?

    As follows:

    SpecificFileName_EmployeenameField.PDF

    Still - I'm not a javascript person, otherwise I'd know if it was possible.

    And Yes, I'd like some recommendations on books / resources for scripts with Javascript.

    Thanks to anyone who can help to shed light on this.

    -You cannot specify the name of the file which is presented.

    -You can save the file by using the value of a field, but that requires a level of the file script installed on each user's computer using this file.

  • Automatic generation of file name with Date stamp

    Please see the attached VI. (LV2012)

    But the same code when it is run on the client computer generated this: 14-1 /-4 /-016 .txt and, of course, the VI ceased due to the illegal file name. I gues this is because how each computer formats the date, the time information.

  • By specifying the file name for FTP out OSB transport

    I want OSB based service that will send via FTP a file with a specific name to a remote ftp location.
    It seems that OSB cannot do this because the FTP transport on a business service only allows you to specify the prefix and the suffix, and then generates a file name long great for midlle parties.

    Anyone know how to replace it and specify the name you want to call remote file name?

    mdsrobbins wrote:
    Your answer was useful, but being new OSB I'm not yet quite there because I want to spend a "variable" in the name of the file. Now I want a CSV file, I've specified a service proxy in a format MFL behind a jms messaging ftp queue. Business service underlying it is the ftp using the MFL format service. This works all I in the message flow to the proxy I can't have access to a user defined property that contains the name of the file that I could then pull and stuff it into the header 'Filename' as suggested above.

    DOE, anyone got any ideas how I can get access to a property of a JMS message file name?

    What I understand
    JMSQ - JMS PRoxy (MFL) - Pipeline---> BS (MFL/FTP) - FTP server

    If you want to set the file name contained custom JMS message headers? When creating your Proxy JMS you must follow these steps
    (1) for the creation of Proxy JMS in the transportation Configuration page select get all the headers = Yes
    (2) if the name of the file is set as defined by the JMS message property user then use $Header in your pipeline/message flow. This variable can contain your user-defined properties. If the user sets the property is part of the JMS message and then use $body.
