If John's tutorial doesn't clear everything up for you, come back and ask more questions. RE: Help! Problem with exporting pdm to pdf BionicJohn (TechnicalUser) 14 May 03 19:44 Third: Regarding the file: C:\Adobe\PM65\UKENGLSH., since I am an American, would this last folder be a different name such as USAENGLISH, etc.? So, while I would be prone to agree that the problem on my work computer might be XP related, this certainly cannot be the problem at home (nor does it explain that it was working at work after installing XP).
Second: On both computers (mine at work that has Windows XP with Pagemaker 6.5 and Distiller 4.0 and mine at home that has Windows XP with Pagemaker 7.0 and whatever Distiller came with it) I have the same PDF exporting problem.Īlso in both cases, I had installed the drivers for a PostScript printer and the PDF exporting function was working just fine until a particular date (after receiving a Windows Update), when both computers developed the same problem. Okay, I have been reading through your posts and I am a little lost.įirst: what is a PPD file? Stupid question perhaps, but I am not exactly a techie. This is a direct link to the FAQ: TARGET="_new"> Help! Problem with exporting pdm to pdf Eggles (TechnicalUser) 14 May 03 07:16 Here's a good FAQ (#1.1) on the Pagemaker Windows Adobe User to user forum (start here: ) for creating PDFs. It should go in C:\Adobe\PM65\RSRC\UKENGLSH\PPD4 (assuming you are using English as your language and assuming Adobe apps are in the root directory not under Program Files). You must also select the PPD to go with Distiller, and it must go in the correct folder (PM is very fussy about this). Or choose any postscript printer if you don't have Distiller. V3 or V4 came on the CD with PM6.5 - have a look as you may not have installed it. If you go to the dropdown menu under Printers, is Distiller one of the alternatives? If not, then you will need to add it to your system. Firstly, I don't think PM6.5 is certified to run on XP - so that may explain some of your problems.
