Hi All,
I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I probably cannot guess the right search string to find the relevant thread.
I've recently upgraded from FM6 Mac to FM9 Win. My old FM6 documents have two kinds of problems in FM9:
1) replaced fonts horizontally scaled to 80%
2) colors looking good on the display, but bad when converted to PDF
As for issue #1, I couldn't do other than editing all the paragraph styles. But eventually I could solve it in a way or the other.
But issue #2, I cannot seem to come to an end with it. The original color was a Pantone swatch, that I can also find in the Win version of FM. In fact, when opening the FM file, it looks at it used to do on the Mac.
However, either I save as PDF from the File > Save to PDF menu command, or print a file using the PDF driver (with the Press Quality selected), the resulting color is wrong. What used to be a Grey-Blue Pantone 191-7, is now some sort of Cyan. Tones change slightly whether I convert using the Print > Do not save file trick, or use Acrobat Distiller 8 on the Mac with different settings; but the original color is never reproduced.
Oddly, an EPS file in the same FM file looks perfectly good - the original color is there. What a contrast with the oddly-colored text and lines in the remaining parts of the document!
Maybe someone has already gone through this issue, and has a solution for me. I'm literally loosing my sleep to try to solve this issue.
Thank you in advance!
Paolo
