help needed with cleanfm batch file
Hi Dave, Sorry I did not see your message earlier, I've been swamped at work and not reading so much home email the past few days. I'n now trying to catch up on 583 new emails. Anyway, I wrote the original batch file about 20 years ago as a general cleanup tool and modified it for just FM files about 15 years ago when I started using FM. I posted it on the list a few months ago when somebody asked how to clean out the backup files from their FM directory. The trick to using it is that you have to be IN the directory where the FM files are. To do that, open a DOS window (cmd.exe) from that directory, then run the batch file. If you just open a DOS window in its default directory (windows\system32) it will try to find the .backup files there, and of course, that doesn't work. When I wrote the original batch file, the /s switch had not been implemented in the DIR or DEL commands, so I used a freebee executable called sweep.com to do the recursion and get any files in subdirs too. But it's easier to just use the /s switch as Syed as shown in his example. However, I do not think it is necessary to check the list before deleting backup files. I've never had my batch file go wrong in 20 years, ever. Unlike Syed, I use a batch file and do not type it in by hand each time. Here's the batch file again. @echo off echo. echo Deleting the following files from the current directory: dir *.backup.* *.lck echo. del *.backup.* *.lck Let me know if you have any more questions about the file or how to use it. BTW, if you just type the name of the original batch file CLEAN.BAT (also attached) without any entries, it displays the help for the file.

takes longer to open files on network drv
Thank you all for your responses. While your responses are accurate, they do not explain why the files can be opened on my colleagues PC's network drive in under 10 seconds, but not on my network drive. I'vd asked IT to check my network connections, etc. and they claim all is well with their network (surprise, surprise...). They're claiming it's FM that's having trouble. Is there a specific FM config option that may be slowing down the files that I could check? Thanks, Orly Orly Zimmerman Technical Writer CPBU Documentation Marvell DSPC - Petach Tikva

Copying and pasting text from Frame 8 produces a long text string with font names
Dear Framers, I am using the Structured Product Interface of FrameMaker 8.0 (with Windows). I just discovered that when I copy text and try to paste it into an e-mail, instead of just the text I've selected, I get a long string of font names, which looks like this: SymbolCourierMarlettArialArial CEArial CYRArial GreekArial TURArial BalticCourier NewCourier New CECourier New CYRCourier New, etc. The text I copied appears at the end of this string. FYI: I'm using Copy (or Ctrl + C), not Copy Special; and Paste (or Ctrl + V), not Paste Special. I can copy and paste the desired text into Notepad, then copy and paste into the e-mail message, Word, etc. Does anyone know what I can do about this new "feature" of Frame 8?

In order for cross-book cross-references to work, you *must* have all of the referenced book files open in FrameMaker when you generate the PDF for the book that contains the x-refs. The component files need not be open--just the book file is enough. But without the book file, FrameMaker has no way to locate the target of the x-ref to generate a valid link in the PDF. Also note that the PDFs will need to have the same relative locations as the book files for the links to be valid. If the books are in different directories, you'll need to mirror that directory structure when you deliver the PDFs. If not, then Acrobat will not be able to find the target file when the reader tries to follow an inter-book link. -Fred Ridder _ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail?-get your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx

Using PNG graphics
Hi All, I have many PNG files that come into Frame 8 without difficulty. When the page is printed, however, line weights are heavier than the native file and close-together lines each want to close. Any suggestions about importing or publishing that would help render theses graphics more clearly? There are approximately 8,000 line drawings and I don't relish tweaking and resaving them all from the native Corel format. Best, Mollye Barrett ClearPath, LLC 414-331-1378
Using PNG graphics
I would add to Bill's comments and suggest that if you need to generate 8,000 vector-based images out of Corel, you can automate the process of opening, saving, and closing the Corel drawings using WinBatch: http://www.winbatch.com/ WinBatch is an event-driven scripting language that can automate repetitive tasks in most Windows applications and is an ideal choice for programs that do not provide an API. You could then write a simple script in the FrameScript language that updates the pathnames of all your imported graphics to recognize the new file extension, replacing *.png with *.eps for example.

Re: Cross references not converting to PDF hyperlinks
Thanks to Rebecca Officer and Fred Ridder for pointing me to the solution: On the Links tab of the PDF Setup dialog box, select the "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs" check box. This increases my PDF file size by 27 percent, but now all the PDF links work.

Cross references not converting to PDF hyperlinks
Thanks to Rebecca Officer and Fred Ridder for pointing me to the solution: On the Links tab of the PDF Setup dialog box, select the "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs" check box. This increases my PDF file size by 27 percent, but now all the PDF links work.

takes longer to open files on network drv
In addition to network and server speed and throughput issues, all the cross refs and graphics in the files are being resolved. And depending on how your computer and/or network is set up, the files are being validated and virus-checked.

takes longer to open files on network drv
HI All, Would anyone have any idea why if I open FM files from my network drive, some files, regardless of their size, will take up to two minutes to open, as opposed to opening instantly from my hard drive (C or D). The only thing I noticed about the difference in the files is that the ones that take longer to open, have a lot of cross ref's. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Cross references not converting to PDF hyperlinks
Hi Doug, This might be in the category of Oops, silly me, what was I thinkin'? BUT-- Is it safe to assume that, in the Print dialog box, you have selected the Generate Acrobat Data option? If not, no links are generated.

I've noticed that while the cross references work properly within FrameMaker, clicking the hyperlink in the resulting PDF file does nothing: many hyperlinks are broken. Upon further testing, I think the problem might be that I've changed the destination paragraph tag after I created the cross reference. In other words, when I originally created the cross reference, the paragraph tag was H1. The cross-reference marker text is "12345_H1:MyParaText." I've kept that marker there, but changed the paragraph tag, say to H2. When I eliminated the cross-reference marker and added a new one, such that the marker text is "56789_H2:MyParaText," the hyperlink does work in the resulting PDF file. Is this indeed the source of the problem? Has anyone ever had this problem before? I've had mismatched paragraph tags and marker text before without any problem, so this is surprising. I didn't know if it might be related to the number of cross references. Is there a limit? This is a major problem for me. I've painstakingly added numerous cross references to make my Help system (and PDF files) more usable. Hopefully, WebWorks will still produce the links properly, but I'm not sure that I want to keep these faulty links in the PDF files. However, removing and reinserting markers for the paragraphs that changed tags would be ominous. Worse, I now think that I can never change paragraph tags for a paragraph that contains a cross-reference marker. That would be a nasty limitation, one that makes cross references less useful. I'm using Frame 7.2p158 unstructured and Adobe Acrobat Distiller 8.1.2. Could this possibly be a problem with incompatibilities between Frame 7.xand Distiller 8.x? Thanks for any insights.
