AboutWayne Johnson Expertise Basic set-up of books, master pages, generation of List of Effective pages (LEP), Indexing, auto-numbering. Various ways to import graphics, including advantages and disadvantages of importing into a text frame or importing into a "blank" page. Using a "book" to generate PDF files, with hyperlinking. Customization of function keys, currently setup for Frame 7.0 i.e. change F1 to turn "Change bar" On and Off, F2 to "Cut" a selection, F3 to copy, F4 to Paste, F6 to set line to "TOP OF PAGE" and Shift F6 to start line "anywhere" these can be easily your current config files and if you do not like them - old config files can be restored.
I have no expertise in Structured Framemaker, (i.e. XML or SGML).
Experience 10 years working with Framemaker, all version through Version 7.0
Primarily writing to Aviation ATA spec 100. Currently responsible for maintaining all company published maintenance documents in Framemaker and PDF and making them accessible through the company intranet.
The bullets (leading paragraphes) and some other symbals (such as arrow) can not be printed into PDF, while they look regular in framemaker files.
All the symbals are in font of ZapfDingbats.
I thought it may be related to font conflict (same fonts both in .ttf and .pfb are installed in OS), but I can not solve this problem completely.
I hope I've made me unstood already, Waiting for your responce sincerely.
Thanks with best regards.

I am probably not much help on this problem as so many different things can cause this problem.
You might try the following:
1. Start your Framemaker Application in FrameMaker - Not Structured Framemaker. You can do this by going to the Frame Menu Bar - Select File - Preferences - General - then at the bottom of the Pop-up Menu, next to "Product Interface" Select Framemaker. Close the application and - then restart for the new setting to be effective and try saving your document as a pdf.
2. Try printing the file first as postscript (.ps) from Framemaker and then converting it to pdf. If you do not understand how to do this then email me and I will send you a pdf file which illustrates how to do it.
3. Send me the file that is giving you the problem and I will see what happens on my machine: I am using Windows XP Frame 7, Distiller 5.0

Be sure to put Framemaker in the Subject Line.
