Vista 64-bit and Flare 4

Post by doc_guy »

I have a question for all you Flare 4 users. Who here is using Flare 4 on Vista 64-bit?

My new laptop (personal use) has 64-bit Vista pre-installed (I have 4GB of RAM, which requires 64-bit Vista in order to get full functionality out of the RAM), and Flare is blazing fast, but I'm having a problem with my page layouts. I have background images in my page layouts, and when I build my PDFs, the background images are missing from the PDF output. They appear fine when I'm editing the page layout, and seem to be functioning fine in Flare itself. I just lose the background images when I build XPS or PDF output.

I can open the same project on my 32-bit XP machine and the background images build fine. I raised this question with MadCap support, but they don't appear to have much experience yet with Flare 4 on Vista 64-bit.

Anybody with 64-bit Vista that can tell me if background images in your page layouts appear properly in your PDF output?

Thanks a ton!
