How to write a paper for SYSID 2003
using FrameMaker
Frame Maker issues
Use the template file
The simplest way to start is to use the Frame Maker
template which is available at the
tool repository of this site.
Check the format of your manuscript
Check that your manuscript complies with the
specified
manuscript specifications.
Use only valid type 1 or True Type fonts
Make sure that you use the times (type 1) or
times new roman (True Type) font for the text
of your paper. You may also need some other fonts,
such as courier or courier new (for
typeset programming code), or Symbol (for
mathematics), but do not use any other fonts apart
from the above ones. Please restrict the character set
of your paper file to the ASCII or the ISO Latin-1 subset.
NOTE: Including
non-standard fonts is one of the primary sources of
poor PDF performance. Please check carefully that your
file does not contain any font which is not included
in the set of allowed fonts for IFAC manuscripts.
Generating a Postscript or PDF file from your Frame Maker
manuscript
If you have the
Acrobat software, the recommended procedure is
to directly produce a PDF file
with Acrobat Distiller. Otherwise the way to proceed is to
produce a PostScript (ps) and
submit it.
Acrobat includes two different utilities for
creating PDF files: PDFWriter and Distiller.
We recommend you to always use
Distiller to create your PDF file.

Configuring Distiller
You should configure Distiller to use the Adobe
Postscript (AdobePS) driver, and send TrueType fonts
as Native True Type fonts (Windows NT, Windows 2000)
or type 42 fonts (Windows 98, Windows 95).
Creating a PDF file using Distiller
Print the file to the Distiller printer or
choose Save as... in the File menu and
select PDF from the popou menu. You should
use the optimize for print option and
Acrobat 3 (PDF 1.2) compatibility. Be sure that
Embed all fonts and Subset embedded fonts
to 100% are selected.
If you do not have Acrobat Distiller, you should
submit your paper as a Postscript file. To do this,
you need to have a Postscript printer driver
installed. Any driver that can generate Postscript
level 1 can be used, but the recommendation is to use
the
AdobePS driver.
Configuring your Postscript driver
Your driver should be attached to a local port (LPx),
and have the following options set:
- Optimize for portability.
- Enable Adobe Document Structuring
Conventions (ADSC or just
DSC) (this may be included in the
"optimize for portability" option).
- Select PostScript Level 1.
- ASCII data format.
- Resolution of 600 dpi.
- Enable Page independence.
- Disable job codes (Control-D).
- Send True Type fonts as outlines
Notice that some of the above options may be not
available for your printer.
Do not use font substitution tables or conversion to
built-in printer fonts. If possible, it is better to use
only standard PostScript fonts (such as Times,
Courier, or Symbol) in your manuscript.
