Hello Everyone, Just wanted to know the unit value closest to pixel in framemaker, or any idea on how could I probably convert this pixel unit into unit of measure which my framemaker file(dtd) could read. I have xml file, with images and the unit value of its attributes (specifically its width and height) are in pixel. Hence, I can't seem to find the unit pixel in framemaker. Thanks in advance.

I'm using FM as opposed to any other tool primarily because: 1) I had a copy before taking on this job, and know how to use it 2) The XML produced via WebWorks was suitable for whatever (I don't have details) was being done with it, for minimal extra effort on my part. I'm reaching the stage where lack of Unicode support is starting to become a bit of a problem. I've got the odd Hebrew character in equations this time around, and can't get these into the document. New versions of FM don't come with WebWorks as a bundle (I believe?), so my questions are: 1) If I upgrade, will my existing version of WebWorks (version 8.0) work with the new FM - has anyone tried? 2) Is the XML output from version 9 of FM good? (Basically, I have FM paragraph and character formats mapped to tags - primary purpose of my work is for print, so there is always a bit of a compromise) 3) Can anyone recommend a better package, if I'm going to have to spend the money anyway? (I was wondering what InDesign's XML export is like.) Thanks in advance, Alison ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:04:07 +0200 From: Stephan Will <st.w...@mk-will.de> Subject: FM 8/9 doesn't show joboptions [solved] To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Message-ID: <4A635207.80409 at mk-will.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Hello Framers, maybe it is of interest for someone, so here is the solution. With the help of the sysinternals tools I was able to find out, why FrameMaker didn't showed my joboptions. With the uninstall of Acrobat 8 a registry entry was deleted. It was the path information of "AcroDist.exe". FrameMaker first tries to find this registry information (the path to acrodist.exe) and when it is not found, FM states "No Distiller installed" and stops to find the needed information about the joboptions. Unfortunately, the repair function of Acrobat wasn't able to solve this problem. After inserting that registry entry, FrameMaker is showing my joboptions again.

Which one do you personnally use? Do you find that some fonts offer a better "reading quality" than others? Thank you very much in anticipation. Yours sincerely, Mathieu. _________________________________________________________________ T?l?phonez gratuitement ? tous vos proches avec Windows Live Messenger? !?
