A new patch is being pushed through the Updater right now. The new version is 10.0.2.419.

The SaveAsPDF CMYK option should be reasonably reliable now, but please run a preflight before submitting to a print provider.

From the Read Me file:

1. Following CMYK Workflow issues are fixed:

1.1 Custom spot colors were not preserved and were getting converted to process colors.

Further library process colors were being converted as spot colors.

1.2 Tints for spot colors were not visible in the generated PDF. Tints were not getting honored

for graphic objects and table cells for both spot and process colors.

1.3 Some fonts were getting replaced with Times New Roman font or were not rendered

properly. Most of these font issues and glyph rendering issues are resolved.

1.4 Kerning applied to the character style was not honored in the PDF.

1.5 Some page layouts were not honored in the PDF.

1.6 Provision for custom prolog file for PS was not there.

2. ‘SaveAsRTF’ command for a file containing unrendered graphics objects and structured window

open resulted in FrameMaker crash.

3. If the tagged view was ON, FrameMaker crashed on placing the insertion point between </

step> and </steps> and then pressing <ENTER> in task topic.

4. If the DITA cross-reference panel was open, the history panel was not populated on making

changes in a DITA topicref.

5. Right aligning a paragraph for which auto-number is set to ‘End of Paragraph’ earlier resulted in

disappearance of the auto-number.

6. ’Select All’ command was not selecting more than 100 Multiple Composite Objects in default

auto spell check mode.

7. View-only operation was not working for virtual documents with DFS SDK 6.5 SP3.

8. List sorting was case sensitive in FrameMaker 10. This is changed to case insensitive to match

the previous versions of FrameMaker.

9. F_ApiDeleteUndefinedAttribute and NextElementDFS are exposed in the Scripting interface.

Hi-

I'm having an (hopefully simple) issue since updating to 10.02. Prior to the update I was able to Save as pdf and Distiller ouput the file without issue. After the update when I save as pdf a .tps file is created and I must then manually distill. The creation time for the .tps file is unbelievably slow when compared to the same book being saved as pdf before the update. I have been looking through the forums and I haven't found a resolution. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Clarification:

This update is a cumulative update that contains changes of both FM10.0.1 and FM10.0.2. Thus this can be applied to both FM 10 build (10.0.0.388) as well as FM 10.0.1 build (10.0.1.402). This will help FM10 users who have not applied the FM10.0.1 patch, to directly move to FM10.0.2

One exception to this are the users who are on FM10.0.1.408 build – these are users who have gotten FM from TCS 3.5 or have downloaded it after TCS 3.5 release. For these customers there is a different FM10.0.2 Update. This can be had from - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5297

However, the best way to apply the update is through Help à Updates… , as the you don’t have to worry about which patch to apply.

FrameMaker current release/build: 10.0.2.419

If you have

10.0.0.388 or 10.0.1.402 take http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5296

10.0.1.408 take http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5297

Note: 1.408 is the last relase/build of TechSuite 3.5, not a beta.

Note:
For companies it's better to take Adobe Application Manager Enterprise to deploy FrameMaker, TCS oder CS.

Then it's very easy to deploy the UpdateBuilds like FM 10.0.2 and other patches in one build.

If you need more information, then contact me.

This update does not appear to resolve any of the recent bugs I have reported to Adobe. Still at least some bugs and changes are being looked at and Adobe seem very responsive to bug reports.

Arnis,

I preserved the updater zip file but could not find the readme file. Can you post a copy?

Jon,

The Read Me file (PDF) should have been placed in the FM10 root folder after the update. Anyway, the content of that file is what's posted at the start of this thread.

FWIW, the patch file is now available on the website:

Arnis,

Many thanks! I am not sure how I missed seeing such an obviously named file!

On the patch front there are different downloads depending on the version of 10 you have, just to confuse things!

For 10.0.0.388 or 10.0.1.402 - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5296

And 10.0.1.408 - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5297 - I am not sure how you would get to this build, maybe it was the trial download?

I'm using 10.0 on a Windows XP Pro PC and my very intricate FM graphics seem to make the 10.0 version crash a lot. Converting to mif and back using 10.0 did not fix the problems, so I have had to downgrade many of my books back to FM 7.1 so I can work on them without crashing so much.

Will this 10.0.2 patch make this problem go away?

Thanks,

Ted

Latest 10.0.2 patch appears to provide no improvement for printing: 171 page document, printing to Adobe PDF printer... 10 minutes, 45 seconds.

Well, "171 pages" doesn't say too much about the document. It makes a huge difference if you have lots of graphics or not. 10 minutes for an EPS-heavy document of this size is not unusual.

However, one thing I have noticed with several FM installations in various environments (Parallels VM + Win XP, Parallels VM + Win7, PC + XP): There is a dramatic difference in PDF writing speed depending on WHERE you save the file (local, network) and - if network - which type of network connection you're using. I'm getting the fastest results (by far) from a VM where the server is connected via \\192.168.xxx.xxx\foldername, means: via IP address. Outperforms local saving as well as e.g. saving via Parallels *.psf connection. I'm not what you'd call an experienced network admin, I have no detailed knowledge about networking at all, but I was really surprised by the resulting speed once we had configured one machine this way. That was speeding up by factor 5-10.

Delighted that progress is still being made with FrameMaker development; quite a few important things seem to have been fixed. But it's a disappointment to see nothing on the list about fixing the problem of hopelessly slow printing to the Acrobat PDF printer (detailed at length in another thread 757124). This problem must surely be affecting a huge proportion of FrameMaker users on a daliy basis?
