Question

bug found in FM2017 paragraph formats when printing to PDF or postscript

We have FrameMaker 2-17  Paragraph Formats for Figures and Tables.

In FrameMaker these are just fine in FM2017 as they were in FM12.

However, when we generate a PDF from any document or book from FM2017, then there is an additional graphic added to every Figure or Table name.  This is creating a noticeable CHANGE in each and every book that we PDF from FrameMaker.  This shows up in compares and will trigger change notifications in all of our translations.

See below the image of an extra line that shows up on each FIGURE and TABLE name.  This was never the case in FM12 to PDF conversion.

Our documents are worldwide and require translation, and this kind of issue will increase our translation costs exponentially.

We need to hear that someone is addressing this issue ASAP.

Please advise.

thanks.

    Are omitting the overline, or using a Frame Above options until the "bug" is resolved?

    That looks like an on-going bug from the previous version, where underlines where appearing as part of the auto-number for the non-printing tab-character. You're seeing the overline at the tab character at the start of the "O".

    Please report this bug using the Tracker database: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/home

    Did you specify the "Compare Text Only" option in Acrobat for the comparisons? IIRC, this should ignore any overlines/underlines.

    Have you tried doing the compares in FM?

    thanks for your input!

    we'll report to dbase...however it was not allowing logins today.

    We've done the compare in FM and no issue.

    It seems to be an issue only when going from FM to PDF (or .ps with distiller).

    I just ran a PDF compare to compare ONLY text. RESULT:  yes, that overline is still there visually (because it is in FM2017 PDF generation), but is not picked up in the compare to the FM12.

    Thanks for your discussion...we'll await...

    Phyllis,

       What browser are you using? I have not been able to log on to Tracker with Internet Explorer for some time. No problem with Edge.
