You can use the free Archive or Book Packager script to do this. It
moves all graphics to a single directory. You can find it here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/07/create-a-book-packager-using-ext

Be sure to get v2, at the script attached link. The original script
can be found here link, as I recall, linked to a version that had a bug
in it.

RE: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages

[Harro de Jong]

Gay Alson wrote: 


 Hello, Framers,
 FrameMaker imposes Right/Left master pages that can’t be deleted, although 
 they
 can be modified—or so I thought.
 In one template, I changed the orientation of the default R/L master pages 
 from
 Portrait to Landscape. However, after PDFing a book consisting of several 
 chapters,
 some using the modified Right/Left and others using the default (portrait) 
 Right/Left
 master pages, the result is all Portrait pages.
 To me this indicates that the PDFing procedure applied the same master pages 
 to all
 pages. Is there a way around this?
 (Previously I used custom Landscape Right and Left pages but that caused other
 problems, which I hoped to avoid by just using default R  L master pages 
 that had
 been modified. ) Any wisdom will be greatly appreciated.


This could be a combination of two issues:

1. I seem to remember FrameMaker sometimes has trouble creating a PDF when a 
book contains a mix of landscape and portrait pages. The resulting PDF will 
contain only one page orientation, the landscape pages will be rotated. The 
solution was to create a .ps file, then drop this on Distiller. 

2. After you import master pages into a book, you have to apply them. 
If you have set up a Master Page Mapping Table, you can do this automatically.

Mysterious Color9 being added to FrameMaker files

[Fei Min Lorente]

There's a FrameMaker user here (FrameMaker 10, Windows XP) who is getting a 
color definition called Color9 added to some of his files, and he's not going 
into the color menu and defining it. He notices the problems when he updates 
the book and it says the color definition is inconsistent. We've been fixing it 
by just deleting that color definition, but we're kind of curious about why it 
keeps popping up.

We're using structured FrameMaker, and we do import XML files sometimes, but 
these aren't one of them. However, he does sometimes copy bits from Outlook, 
other FrameMaker files, or the PDF review copy which has reviewer's markups on 
it. Would any of these be a possible source of the mysterious Color9?

Haven't tested this myself, but I think you could define a new colour, 
selecting Print As 'Don't Print', and then specify that colour in a character 
tag for your meta-data.

Hmmm.  I get the same result.

Well, you could move the special colour from Normal to Invisible, either 
in the default Color View or in one of the other Views, then switch as 
necessary before printing/editing.

Color setting Don't Print doesn't work (WAS: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages)

[Christenson, Pat]

I've just verified that this is true in both FrameMaker 10 and 11.

RECAP: Create a new color and choose Don't Print as its Print As setting. Apply 
the color to text and print the page. The text using the Don't Print color 
shouldn't appear in the printout but it does.

I've just created a bug report on the Adobe website but thought I'd post this 
here as well, in case any Adobe folk are following the thread.

Another FrameMaker 11 Bug

[Rick Quatro]

Hello Framers,

This one may seem obscure, but I found another FrameMaker 11 bug is causing
a major problem with one of my plugins. You can see it by following these
steps:

1) Create a new, double-sided document.
2) Go to the two master pages and add Current Page # variables so you can
keep track of the body pages.
3) Add some dummy content so the document has at least 3 pages.
4) Go to page 2 and add a small text frame in the top margin of the page.
Tag the flow with a name that is not A and turn on the Autoconnect
property.
5) Click in the new text frame and press Return until a new page is created.

OK, where is the new page with the new, small text frame? In FrameMaker 11,
will be on page 4. in FrameMaker 10 (and lower), the new page will be 3, and
the original page 3 becomes page 4.

Why has this changed in 11? Is it a bug or a feature?

Neither behavior sounds much like a feature to me. If I'm understanding 
correctly, each subsequent page in the document will contain either the main 
text frame (Flow A) or the small one you added (Flow B), but not both. And 
which page contains which depends on which flow you add text to next. 

Preferable behavior, IMHO, would be if step 5 caused a new, small text frame 
for Flow B to appear at the top of the existing page 3, along with the existing 
main text frame (Flow A). 

But I can't really think of a use case for either the old behavior, the new 
behavior, or the behavior I'm suggesting. I've only used multiple text flows 
for documents like newsletters, where I wanted a text flow to continue in a 
specific place of my choosing, and thus placed the text frame there and 
connected it to the previous frame in that flow.

Re: Color setting Don't Print doesn't work (WAS: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages)

[Mike Wickham]

I was stymied by that same problem once and someone explained to me, if 
I'm remembering correctly, that the Don't Print setting only applies to 
color separations. To make it not appear in a normal, composite 
printout, you have to use View Color Views and move your non-printing 
color into the Invisible column.


It is rather non-intuitive.

Possibly from Outlook - 'Color9' sounds like the usual useful Microsoft style 
of nomenclature - definitely from other FrameMaker files, unlikely from PDF.

I find SiliconPrairie's Color Tools plugin to be indispensable in these sorts 
of cases, and especially so when you get 'color explosions' for no apparent 
reasons, or when an author sends a FrameMaker book that contains hundreds of 
unused color definitions (yes, this happened, and 'hundreds' isn't an 
exaggeration).

>From their website:

'Color Tools provides additional capabilities for working with color 
definitions in FrameMaker documents. As a documentation set ages, it tends to 
get polluted with color definitions that are not used. This was especially true 
with earlier versions of FrameMaker that defined colors for 8-bit PNG (Portable 
Network Graphic) files. Color Tools can help. Its capabilities include listing 
colors defined and removing non-list colors from Frame documents. It also 
contains a routine that generates a report listing the colors defined in a 
document.'

Haven't tested this myself, but I think you could define a new colour, 
selecting Print As 'Don't Print', and then specify that colour in a 
character tag for your meta-data.

Modifying FM's default R/L master pages

[Christenson, Pat]

Hi Stuart -

I just tried this (it sounded PERFFECT) but the info still prints. I wonder if 
this is a bug.

I'm using FM10 (with all patches and updates) on Windows 7.

Hmmm.  I get the same result.

Well, you could move the special colour from Normal to Invisible, either 
in the default Color View or in one of the other Views, then switch as 
necessary before printing/editing.

Color setting Don't Print doesn't work (WAS: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages)

[Christenson, Pat]

I've just verified that this is true in both FrameMaker 10 and 11.

RECAP: Create a new color and choose Don't Print as its Print As setting. Apply 
the color to text and print the page. The text using the Don't Print color 
shouldn't appear in the printout but it does.

I've just created a bug report on the Adobe website but thought I'd post this 
here as well, in case any Adobe folk are following the thread.

Another FrameMaker 11 Bug

[Rick Quatro]

Hello Framers,

This one may seem obscure, but I found another FrameMaker 11 bug is causing
a major problem with one of my plugins. You can see it by following these
steps:

1) Create a new, double-sided document.
2) Go to the two master pages and add Current Page # variables so you can
keep track of the body pages.
3) Add some dummy content so the document has at least 3 pages.
4) Go to page 2 and add a small text frame in the top margin of the page.
Tag the flow with a name that is not "A" and turn on the Autoconnect
property.
5) Click in the new text frame and press Return until a new page is created.

OK, where is the new page with the new, small text frame? In FrameMaker 11,
will be on page 4. in FrameMaker 10 (and lower), the new page will be 3, and
the original page 3 becomes page 4.

Why has this changed in 11? Is it a bug or a feature?

Neither behavior sounds much like a feature to me. If I'm understanding 
correctly, each subsequent page in the document will contain either the main 
text frame (Flow A) or the small one you added (Flow B), but not both. And 
which page contains which depends on which flow you add text to next. 

Preferable behavior, IMHO, would be if step 5 caused a new, small text frame 
for Flow B to appear at the top of the existing page 3, along with the existing 
main text frame (Flow A). 

But I can't really think of a use case for either the old behavior, the new 
behavior, or the behavior I'm suggesting. I've only used multiple text flows 
for documents like newsletters, where I wanted a text flow to continue in a 
specific place of my choosing, and thus placed the text frame there and 
connected it to the previous frame in that flow.

Color setting Don't Print doesn't work (WAS: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages)

[Mike Wickham]

I was stymied by that same problem once and someone explained to me, if 
I'm remembering correctly, that the Don't Print setting only applies to 
color separations. To make it not appear in a normal, composite 
printout, you have to use View> Color> Views and move your non-printing 
color into the Invisible column.

It is rather non-intuitive.

Mysterious Color9 being added to FrameMaker files

[Robert Lauriston]

I encountered something like that a few years ago, if I remember right
it turned out to be coming from an Illustrator graphic.

Converting Older Frame Files to Frame 10: Cannot Lock File Error Message

[todd.bers...@teradyne.com]

Hello Framers,

I just received a batch of 200+ FrameMaker 4, 5.5, and 6 files that I need
to get into Frame 10 and then convert into Word and PDF. However, when I
try to open them in either Frame 7 or Frame 10, I get the following error
message: "Cannot lock this file for your use. Your changes to it may
conflict with the work of other users. File ".

When I click Continue the file opens, but I cannot edit it or use the Save
As button, since it is not available.

I tried changing permissions on all the files, which appeared to be
successful since they no longer indicate that they are read-only and the
security settings have grey checkmarks indicating I have write permissions.
After changing permissions, the error message no longer comes up, but I
still can't edit the files and do not have access to the Save As command.
But clearly, some setting in the old Frame file is prohibiting me from
editing the file.  I can print a PDF file, and then use Acrobat to save it
into a Word file, but this is a very roundabout way to get these files into
Frame 10.

The Adobe forum had an entry on this issue, but the only response didn't
help much: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4298416.

Any suggestions on how to unlock them so I can use them in Frame 10?

BTW, is there a search function on the framers list to seek out topic
discussions that might be relevant? I only see the archive, which lists
items in chronological order.

Thanks for your help.

Color setting Don't Print doesn't work (WAS: Modifying FM's default R/L master pages)

[Craig Ede]

I seem to vaguely remember that this setting is only valid for CMYK documents. 
I could be wrong though. Check that out.
