Flare 10 -- PDF output oddities

Post by LeslieT »

I have a rather large (800+ pages) PDF that I generate out of a Flare project. In Flare 9.1 all is well, but in testing the Flare 10 release the exact same set of files generates the target differently, and some of those differences are blockers for me. These are some of the things I am observing right off the bat:

- The Flare 9.1 PDF is 818 pages and the Flare 10 PDF is 826 -- All I can come up with is that it is observing pagination directives in the CSS differently -- but why?

- Some of my H3 topic headings that are occur at the top of the page in the Flare 10 are "invisible" (I can copy and select the text in the space and If I paste into another app with a background color I can see it as white text.) In the Flare 9.1 PDF, these headings look fine, although aren't necessarily on the same page or at the top of a page.

- The page layout for the first page of a chapter uses a different text frame to position the text at a lower point. It is a little higher in the Flare 10 PDF and no longer lines up with the background graphics the way that it does in the Flare 9.1 PDF.

Is anyone else experiencing these types of changes in PDF outputs???

A colleague had similar problems when she upgraded. We fixed them by resetting the display screen magnification to "smaller".
