TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The files are PDFs and are imported by reference. Originally, the
files were Autocad, I believe. I'm not sure, but I THINK it may be
caused by the large number of Frame files I have open at the moment. I'm
going through the books and making sure the cross-references are
correct, and I'm about to print the file, so I have all of the chapters
open at the moment. My machine has 2 GB of RAM, but it might not be
enough for what I'm trying to do. In the past, these callouts have
printed out into the PDF just fine, so I'm hoping it's just a matter of
the number of files open.

All,
I have some PDF files of drawings with callouts on them. These files
are inserted by reference into a chapter in Frame 7.2 (on Win XP). So
far, so good. When I try to make a PDF of the chapter, the callout
numbers on the drawings disappear. The callout arrows and circles are
still there, but the numbers are gone. Any ideas on what's happening?
