In-house Printing of FAME Manuals
Adobe Acrobat PDF format allows you to print document files directly to a laser printer or other output device. You can also send a PDF file to a professional printer for electronic output to Docutech or other document reproduction copiers.

If you provide electronic output of FAME user guides, manuals, and publications to a professional printer, include the following guidelines with your printing instructions.

General information about output originals

    Orientation
    User guides, technical guides, and FAME manuals are printed portrait (vertical) style, front-to-back in the PDF files.
    Pagination
    Do not print the first two pages of the PDF file. These pages contain legal information applicable to the online versions only.

    Each new section in a document begins on an odd-numbered page; a section that ends on an odd-numbered page is followed by a blank even-numbered page in the PDF file. The total number of pages in a PDF file, including the covers, title pages, and all blank pages, is always an even number: for example, 96, 110, 150, and so on.

    Page size
    FAME user guides and manuals are created in one of two page sizes, either 8.5" x 11" or 7" x 8.5", depending on the document. The User Guide to FAME Populator, release 4.1, rev. 2 is 7" x 9", however, because it is designed for use as online help form within the product.

    For example, the Guide to Getting Started: FAME Populator, is 7" x 8.5". The "Guide to FAME Database Servers" is 8.5" x 11". You can determine the page size from the PDF file.
