Question

Landscape pages created in FM being cropped in PDF

Hi,

I'm using FM9 to create PDFs that have portrait and landscape pages (using different master pages for both) and it all looks fine in FM, but when I view the generated PDFs, the landscape pages are cropped so that they are the same size as the portrait pages.

If I save as a FM8 file and send it to a colleague who has FM8, she can create the PDf no problem. I don't know whether it has anything to so with my Distiller settings, or my settings in FM, but I can't see anything obvious.

I can't really use the classic solution of rotating the pages btw, because I have footers and header that will be oriented incorrectly if I rotate.

Hope someone can help. I have some large images on the landscape pages (paste special from visio) and the only way I can fit them in is by changing the page orientaiton to landscape and I'm new to FM, so changing them to portrait seems a bit daunting (how do I deal with the orientation of the figure title, the header and footer etc..?).

Thanks

Deborah

BTW, I have FM9 and Distiller 9.

    Fixed it. See previous post

    I just fixed it by selecting 'Convert CMYK Colors to RGB' on the Settings tab in the PDF Setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF). Bit strange, but great!

    Horray!
