When I produce PDF with Framemaker, the paragraph text in PDF are cut off by lines. Because when I copy paragraphs from produced PDF and pasted those paragraphs in Notepad, paragraph text lines are cut off.

Is there a solution for this?

I remember that with Indesign, I can chect "Create tagged PDF" to prevent paragraph text in produced PDF being cut off.

If you mean that copy/pasting text from a .pdf to a txt editor gives lots of separate lines rather than a single paragraph, that's what often happens; I believe (not that I've spent a lot of time worrying about it) it depends on the target rather than the .pdf file. Check whether your text editor has an option to combine selected lines into one; ctrl+J in Notepad++, for example.

Hi Simon:

  1. What version of FrameMaker are you using?
  2. Can you show a screen shot of what it looks like in Fm vs as a PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader?
  3. There is an option for tagged PDF in the Fm conversion, but this tags for accessibility. It has nothing to do with missing lines.
  4. I don't know what this means: "Because when I copy paragraphs from produced PDF and pasted those paragraphs in Notepad, paragraph text lines are cut off." Are you then copying the text to FrameMaker with missing text? Or are the bottom of the letters missing?

More details will help us help you.
