Question

Missing image in first row of each .pdf page...

(I'm working with Adobe FrameMaker 😎

I'm placing images into a table, and for some reason the image in the first row of each page does not appear in the .pdf file I print of the book. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've tried placing rows above each of the first rows and simply setting the shading so that the cells appear invisible, and it still doesn't work. That makes me think it might not be a table-related thing.

Thanks!

The ones that are currently in there were just "Paste Special"ed in. I also tried importing them as JPEG and then as a Bitmap, which seemed to make no difference.

Beth,

could you post a screenshot of the table situation in FrameMaker (with borders and text symbols visible) and what ends up in the PDF?

This is one of the sections of the table in Frame Maker:



And this is what ends up in the .pdf:

This table extends over three pages, and on every page the first row of the table is missing it's image. Thanks any help you can offer!

Beth,

This looks ugly and it reminds me of some problem with tables and shading. But before we access that, please upgrade your FrameMaker to the latest patch release, you are missing two patches, available here:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows

As the problem seems to be bound to the first cell in the first column, I would suggest to test the situation with an invisible column added to the left of the existing columns. If the patches don’t help.

Would you post your system info -- OS/RAM/etc. and version info (FM and

Acrobat, and whether you're using the full version of Acrobat or the

stripped down version shipped with FM?

Hmmm, just noticed ...

I'm running version 8.0p266 of FrameMaker.

Windows 7 Professional

64-bit Operating System

I suspect that FM8 is not supported in Win7 or 64-bit Windows (any version).

I also suspect that it works reasonably well in Win7 32-bit, and if not,

then in XP32 Mode of Win 7 (which is available at no cost for Win 7 Pro).

Then there's the question of how you are generating PDFs.

Are you using the PDF tools bundled with FM8, which may

in fact not work in Win7 ...

or are you using a later version of Acrobat[Pro],

hopefully installed AFTER FM8.
