Subject:Problem converting Frame book to PDF From:Amy Lodato <a -dot- lodato -at- INTERSHOP -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 2 Jul 1998 15:06:25 -0700
Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to interpret the error I am getting when
trying to convert a FrameMaker 5.5 book into a PDF file. When I "save as
.pdf," everything seems to go well until it reaches page 2 of the 3rd
chapter, where it stalls for a long time. It then aborts the pdf process and
generates a log file with the following error:
%%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: showpage ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
There's nothing I can see in body, master or reference pages that refers to
a "showpage" command, but I'm not sure I would know what that would look
like if it were there.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
