I would assume that it is easiest to adapt the PDF and not try to achieve this in FrameMaker.

I think you are right. My engineers and I are using FM 2020, and handling DITA XML as well as EPS graphic resources, trying to produce half-tone grayscale PDF.

Now I am doing my own research on managing PDF. Can you give more information or tips for adapting a PDF in order to generate half-tone grayscale PDF?

Hi Bob,

Acrobat Professional has a preflight tool with which you can change your PDF.

Other tools that I heard of are:

Callas pdftoolbox

PitStop professional

In the German Wikipedia article about preflight there is a list of tools. Not in the English version.

Best regards

Winfried

I think people are going to need a bit more info - you're working in Structured FM, correct? Are you all patched up? Are you creating PDFs currently? Maybe you can explain what a "single tone" PDF is - I've never heard that term before.
