Portrait and Landscape to pdf

Hello,

My framemaker 12 document has mostly portrait pages with a few landscape pages to accommodate large tables. When I save to PDF, the landscape pages get cut off at the same width as the portrait pages so the columns get cut off. How can I get each page to print to pdf in the correct way?

Thanks for any help you can give!

This sounds like a problem that is specific to your machine. (a setting, or a scrambled connection 'tween Fm and the PDF generation process)

If it's an option to send me the file, I'm happy to process it in Fm12 to see if I get the same result.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your offer of help; unfortunately I can't send you the doc.

No worries,

My plan was to check through the settings in both the Save as PDF workflow, and the Print workflow.

Check out my post at FrameMaker PDF Tips and Tricks - Tech Comm Tools for a comprehensive look at how I produce PDF from Fm.

HI Abby:

I have not had that experience:

Fm 2017

Acrobat Pro DC

How did you rotate the pages, and how are you creating the PDF?

Hi Barb,

The document was created by someone else with much more FM experience than me so I'm not sure how she rotated them. There are 10 columns so I'd like to keep it as landscape, otherwise the information will get quite crunched.

To create the PDF, I go to File - Save as PDF - select the place to save it - when the PDF Setup window appears, I select View Generated PDF in Acrobat, then click Set.

Thanks!

Hi Abby:

Do you have rotated master pages in the file?

Keep the pages portrait but rotate the content.

There are 10 columns in the table, so the information will get too crunched if I try to make it portrait. Thank you for your response!
