Rick Henkel - FrameMaker-Related Stuff

According to Sarah O'Keefe, there will be a FrameUsers Conference in spring of 2006 in Minneapolis.

This event is separate from the FrameMaker Chatauqua that Kay Ethier has been advertising.

This morning, Adobe released XML External Entity vulnerability (Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0-7.0.1) - Support Knowledgebase. The article refers you to the Downloads page to download the update to 7.0.2. However, no such update seems to exist yet on the New Downloads page, the Acrobat Downloads page, or the Reader Downloads page.

Sounds like typical corporate communication. :-)

There's a bug in FrameMaker 7.0 that causes a PDF created using Save As PDF to open to the wrong page. The PDF usually opens at the first page of the last file in the FrameMaker book file.

One way to fix this is to upgrade to 7.1. But if you don't want to upgrade, you can just add a command to your epilogue.ps file. You might have to search for the correct epilogue.ps file. It's in the
following folder on my XP machine:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF 6.0\Data

Open that file in a text editor (don't double-click it, or it will open with Distiller) and add the following code:

[ /PageMode /UseOutlines /Page 1 /DOCVIEW pdfmark

Once you've done that, you have to make Distiller read that file. On the Advanced tab of your job options, make sure that the Use Prologue.ps and Epilogue.ps check box is selected.

You can also manually change the default opening page using Acrobat. Plus, I believe that Shlomo has something with his TimeSavers tool that fixes this.
