Re: Problems importing Illustrator files

2007-12-07 Thread David Creamer
If you are using transparency in Illustrator, I would save your graphics out
as either EPS or PDF 1.3 for FrameMaker.

EPS and PDF 1.3 do not support transparency, so the art will be flattened.
As long as you use the default settings, it will include the original AI
file, so you can open the file to edit it later.

Be sure to use the High Resolution settings when flattening.

If you use any higher PDF settings (during a Save As), the PDF will maintain
any transparency and may not work properly.

For older programs, EPS will work just as good, since the programs usually
convert the PDF into an EPS internally. Plus, it is easier to manage in AI.

Reset View Only

2007-12-07 Thread J. Paul Kent
I had a power failure last night and my PC shut down (FM 7.1 Win XP). 

When I restarted, my book was locked as were all of the component files. I
chose to reset the lock on all of them, except for one, which I must have
fat fingered when presented the option.

 

Now every time I update my book, I see the message, 

The file XXX is View-Only. FrameMaker might change this file while
updating the book.

 

I've closed and opened the book several times and restarted Frame, but to no
avail. 

How can I reset it so that it's not view only and I can edit it again?

 

Of course it's d-day, so natch these things are inevitable.

Attempted to download something is kinda vague. Are you sure it was

It sounds as if the program may have been either checking for updates

RE: HTML to MIF?

2007-12-07 Thread Adam Robey

The quality of the HTML is probably okay. I didn't write it, and the person
who did write it is no longer here.

However, he used FrontPage to write in the first place. Since then, there
have been a handful of manual edits to the HTML, but the quality should be
pretty typical for FrontPage-generated HTML.

Using Perl had occurred to me. I'm just hoping for a simpler solution. :)

Has anyone had any success in doing this? If so, what tools did you use?

In the past, I've used XSLT to create MIF files from XML files. However,
given that HTML frequently isn't "well-formed XML," I'm not at all confident
that an XSLT solution would be feasible.

Anyway, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

HTML to MIF?

2007-12-07 Thread Adam Robey

The quality of the HTML is probably okay. I didn't write it, and the person
who did write it is no longer here.

However, he used FrontPage to write in the first place. Since then, there
have been a handful of manual edits to the HTML, but the quality should be
pretty typical for FrontPage-generated HTML.

Using Perl had occurred to me. I'm just hoping for a simpler solution. :)

Depending on the "quality" of your HTML, this could be fairly simple to do
using Perl.
