RE: Color Output From Frame

2008-02-29 Thread Jacob Schäffer
Framers,

Unfortunately I mentioned in the second paragraph the additive and subtractive 
color models backwards.

RGB is the *additive* model, based on the addition of luminous colors. CMYK is 
a subtractive model, based on the absorption (subtraction) of complementary 
colors from (nominally) white light by pigments or inks. 
 
Thanks to Fred Ridder pointing out my typo.

 Framers,
 
 Framemaker 8 still rely on the Windows GDI or GDI+ kernel as 
 most Windows applications do. This approach has a fantastic 
 benefit: Speed. Especially speed in regard to application performance.
 
 Windows GDI or GDI+ are RGB or sRGB devices. This mean that 
 Windows in general will work in 3 component subtractive color 
 spaces such as RGB instead of 4 component additive color 
 spaces such as CMYK. Although it's possible to configure 
 color management in Windows you will NOT be able to define a 
 CMYK color in Framemaker that will preserve its CMYK values  
 as you defined them downstream. Even more impossible it would 
 be to preserve SPOT colors as you define them.
 
 I have developed a solution that works fantastic in regard to 
 precise *repair* conversion. It's called Grafikhuset Publi 
 PDF with optimizer plug-in 
 (http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/tech_components_optimizer
 _plugin.html).
 
 However, I wouldn't dream of selling it to users that are 
 satisfied with the Distiller built-in 'Convert All Colors to 
 CMYK', since such users are simply not demanding enough in 
 regard to color fidelity to qualify as Publi PDF Optimizer 
 users. Such users automatically accept that a CMYK definition 
 in Framemaker will be totally molestrated by conversion 
 processes they don't control. Fine with me, but bear in mind 
 that automatic CMYK - RGB - CMYK conversions are quite 
 lossy, especially with colors that originally contained a 
 Black component. In practise this K component will often end 
 on the Y plate, but what the heck, it's CMYK :-) 
 
 If you can live with that feel free to do so! 
 
 The thing is, that CMYK or SPOT colors defined in Framemaker 
 will print as RGB and the Distiller built-in 'Convert All 
 Colors to CMYK' will POTENTIALLY not bring back the *correct* 
 CMYK values and DEFINITELY not the SPOT color values -- not 
 even their CMYK counterparts.
 
 Grafikhuset Publi PDF is a quite expensive, but extremely 
 reliable and fast solution to this specific color problem. 
 With Grafikhuset Publi PDF you can setup color maps that 
 *precisely* converts the Framemaker/GDI generated RGB to CMYK 
 or SPOT as you originally defined in Framemaker and/or any 
 imported EPS art (be careful with imported PDF art -- you may 
 loose SPOT colors on-the-go).
 
 To understand the problem better, please see my article on 
 the subject »Difficult PDF documents in prepress«:

 ocuments.html

 Quite a few Publi PDF users already monitor the FrameUsers 
 e-mail list. Feel free to speak up with your track 
 record/experience with Grafikhuset Publi PDF.

   Has Framemaker 8 made any advances in color output for Framemaker

  When FrameMaker creates PostScript for distillation it passes 
  everything

  The exception 
  is for .EPS files, which are passed around the GDI as is. 
  CMYK will stay as 
  CMYK. So I recommend that you use only .EPS format for 
 graphics files.
  
  Also, in maker.ini, try this setting: 
 GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=None
  
  You may also have an improper color management setting in Distiller.

  option.) I seem to

RE: Frame 7.2 and Vista

2008-02-29 Thread Phil Heron
Hi Edwin,
 
I do have Frame 7.2 installed under Vista but I haven't been using it
intensively on this platform - my primary working environment is still
XP.
 
There was no problem with the standard installation of Frame, but I
didn't install the included Acrobat Distiller as I already have Acrobat
8 Pro.

As I mentioned in my message to the Framers list, I was at first unable
to install the build 158 patch, but after trying the following
suggestion from Denise L. Moss-Fritch I was able to apply the update:
---
Right-click on the patch file and select Properties.

From the Compatibility tab of the Properties dialog, select Run this
program in the compatibility mode for check box and select Windows XP
(Service Patch 2).

Click OK.
---

I haven't noticed any problems with Frame 7.2 on Vista but, as I
mentioned, I haven't been using it intensively.
 
Incidentally, I recently had to edit some old Frame 5.5 documents and I
was surpised to find that Frame 5.5.6 installed and worked unexpectedly
smoothly under Vista.

If I had had the choice, I would have chosen XP for my new PC. I find
some features of Vista extremely awkward, in particular the new version
of Windows Explorer.

Hope this helps,

Phil Heron

Frame 7.2 and Vista 


Framers,

I have just received a new PC - it's running Windows Vista.

I installed Frame 7.2 (build 144) successfully but found I was unable to
install the patch to update it to build 158.

I know Frame 7.2 is not officially supported on Vista but I am not
currently in a position to upgrade to Frame 8.

Does anybody have any experience with running this combination?

I would be particulary interested in finding out how stable Frame 7.2 is
on Vista and whether there is any way I can install the 158 patch.

Thanks,

Re: Text string in title case?

2008-02-29 Thread Paul Findon
Hi Tina,

This is impossible with FrameMaker alone. I thought perhaps Spell  
Catcher could handle it, as it does have commands for changing case  
to Title style, but even that simply capitalises the first letter of  
each word.

A job for AppleScript perhaps? (NG to you unless you use Mac  
FrameMaker.)

I found a script at http://bbs.applescript.net/viewtopic.php? 
id=13297 that, in addition to changing case to Title style, can also  
set a bunch of specified definite and indefinite articles,  
conjunctions, and prepositions that don't start a sentence to  
lowercase. Something the script author has called Mixed style.

I'm not a programmer, but with a little head scratching, I managed to  
edit this script so that it searches an open FrameMaker document and  
changes all paragraphs tagged Heading1 or whatever you like to  
Mixed style. Works a treat!

Incidentally, for Title style (or what CMOS calls Headline style),  
do you follow the Microsoft style of not capitalising prepositions of  
four or fewer letters. Or Apple's style of not capitalising  
prepositions of three or fewer letters. Or CMOS's recommendation of  
lowercasing prepositions regardless of length?

Styles - you gotta love 'em.

 Hi all,



 I'm trying to put many text strings (book titles) throughout a long  
 book
 into title case. I need to do this at the character level, not the
 paragraph. For example, changing



 THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK



 to



 The Title of This Book



 So. it needs to have some logic, i.e. knows to skip conjunctions  
 like of
 and and etc.



 I can see in the character designer how to change a set of  
 characters to
 small caps, lowercase, or uppercase. Does anyone know of a way to  
 make this
 ability go one step further and become title case?

Re: Text string in title case?

2008-02-29 Thread Peter Gold
In the days of FM/unix, before book-wide search/replace and other
come-lately power features, something like this would be done with
fmbatch and one or more of GREP, AWK, and SED text-manipulation tools.

The general plan was to use control fmbatch with a unix script to
convert all appropriate .fm files to MIF, then perform the
text-crunching on the MIF files, then reconvert the MIF files back to
.fm with fmbatch.

If there's enough volume to repay the effort, something similar would
work today with mif2go from omsys.com, dobatch from cudspan, dzbatcher
from datazone.com, or FM2MIF (a new free utility that installs under
FM's File  Utilities menu option, from dtptools.com, to convert
directories-full of .fm files to MIF). I believe mif2go's MIF
converter is free; dobatch and dzbatcher are free. All but FM2MIF work
like fmbatch.

Instead of the unix tools, Perl or other newer text-manglers can do
the find/replace, perhaps with the assistance of GREP.

Converting .fm to MIF is the first step.

The second step would be to find all the ALL CAPS titles in all the
MIFs, collect them into a single-column list from which you can remove
the duplicates, and create a second column with the precise conversion
for each title - this would settle style issues over which title words
to make all lowercase, etc.

The third step would be to find and replace every instance of the
uppercase titles with their title cased partner in the MIF, without
damaging the MIF file's integrity. This may take some care in cases
where the titles break across lines, etc.

Finally, you'd use one of the fmbatch-replacements to reconstruct .fm
files from the MIFs.

I'm not a coder or scripter. Heck, my long-term and short-term memory
aren't that good anymore. BUT, it's hard to forget a proven tool-chain
process like this.G

Index colum-page breaks

Another newbie question.

 

On a generated index, I have a two column spread alphabetically. My problem
is trying to find the right combination of 'keep with', Widow/Orphan lines,
Format  to keep it from leaving the Group Titles IX paragraph with its Index
line at the bottom of a column or page, and the first entry standing all
alone at the top of the second column or the top of the next page.


I have unsuccessfully tried a number of permutations without success. Maybe
there is something besides the paragraph designer??

Re: Text string in title case?

2008-02-29 Thread Rick Quatro
Hi Peter,

This is one of the strengths of MIF: that you can get an ASCII 
representation of your FM document and do manipulations like this. However, 
the advantage of FrameScript (and the FDK) is that you can work directly on 
the FrameMaker document (or book) without risk of corrupting the MIF file. 
FrameScript has built-in string functions as well as the ability to use 
regular expressions.

I recently did a TitleCase script that used an INI file for exceptions, both 
for acronyms that should stay uppercase and words that should be lowercase.

III=
IV=

The script could be restricted to processing particular paragraph formats in 
order to limit its scope. Another useful feature is that each paragraph that 
is changed can be written to a hyperlinked log file. This would allow you to 
check what was actually changed, and to jump to a changed paragraph if 
necessary.

Depending on the scope of a problem, sometimes you have to fix things like 
this by hand. However, for anyone that uses FrameMaker on a near daily 
basis, FrameScript is definitely worthwhile to learn. I am amazed by how 
much people do by hand with FrameMaker.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem, but if the GroupTitlesIX
paragraph definition has Keep With Next turned on (on the Pagination tab
of Paragraph Designer), it won't appear alone at the bottom of a
column/page. 

Maybe you turned on Keep With Next for a specific instance of the
paragraph only (like in the reference page IX flow), by clicking Apply
instead of Update All?

RE: Index colum-page breaks

2008-02-29 Thread Pete Rourke
All of myy Group Titles IX has the Keep With Next PGF checked with
Widow/Orphan lines at 1, Format at In Column. And the reference pages IX
flow is the same.

I went through each index header letter, and they were all the Group Titles
IX, but I did do the update all.

This partially fixed my problem. It took care of all but one letter - O
which with its index line is on one page, and the content is on the next.
The column break on other letters was fixed with the update all.

Better, but I'm still baffled.

Thanks Peter Fred, Stuart. I think it's all about holding your mouth right,
but then I'm NCAA (No Clue At All)

Cheers

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem, but if the GroupTitlesIX
paragraph definition has Keep With Next turned on (on the Pagination tab
of Paragraph Designer), it won't appear alone at the bottom of a
column/page. 

Maybe you turned on Keep With Next for a specific instance of the
paragraph only (like in the reference page IX flow), by clicking Apply
instead of Update All?

Put the text cursor in the broken pgf and look at the status line at
the bottom left of the window. The pgf format name is displayed there;
does it have an asterisk next to it? If so, that indicates an override.
Reapply the pgf format to that pgf. 

Grasping at straws now: FM's name for this format is GroupTitlesIX,
which isn't the same as Group Titles IX. You don't have two similar
but not identical format names going, do you?

2008-02-29 Thread Pete Rourke
Thanks Richard


The pgf format is GroupTitlesIX, and there is no asterisk on the status
line. There is only one GroupTitlesIX format in the paragraph catalog, and
re-applying the format changed nothing.

I know that adding a new line above the broken pgf is an option were I on a
hard deadline, but I will journey on at the straw grasping. 

Thanks again

 I have unsuccessfully tried a number of permutations without success. Maybe
 there is something besides the paragraph designer??
 
  

The widow/orphan setting affects text only within a single paragraph, so 
that is a red herring when it comes to keeping a title paragraph with 
the following paragraph.  (It is useful in keeping multi-line index 
entries from splitting awkwardly, however.)

Richard pointed out the likely solution, which is that you forgot to 
Update All after changing your Group Titles IX paragraph to keep with 
next.  That is the proper approach, because you will always want your 
group title to be followed by a first-level entry.

Peter Gold adds a recommendation for TocBreaker, a free plug-in.  That 
is also a useful tool, but not for this exact problem of group titles. 
TocBreaker is better applied to the problem of how to keep second-level 
entries listed directly under first-level entries, without having 
keep-with-next or keep-with-previous create long lists of entries that 
act as unbreakable blocks.  TocBreaker works by memorizing the places 
where you manually insert breaks, so that you can reapply them en masse 
after the file is regenerated.

PDFMark Bookmarks

2008-02-29 Thread William Abernathy
My last attempt at getting this answered resulted in zero responses. I will 
assume that it was because my post was not a model of concision or clarity. So 
I'll try it again, hitting the highlights.

When inserting PDFMark bookmarks to other PDF documents, is it possible to 
force 
the inserted links to the top of the Bookmarks panel on the generated PDF 
document? If there is, what's the magic argument? Currently, the bookmarks may 
be placed at the top of the column (if there are many chapters) or the bottom 
(if there is only one chapter).

Right now, the PDFMark argument to create the bookmark to another document 
looks 
like this:

[/Title (Title)
/Action /GoToR /File (foo.pdf)
/C [0 0 1]
/F 2
/OUT pdfmark

FrameMaker 7.2, Acrobat + Distiller 7.0 on Windows XP

Well, I only play a PDFMark user on TV, but since it's Friday and no one
else has jumped in... 

DISCLAIMER: What little I know comes not from experience, but from
Thomas Merz's PDFMark Primer, which you can download from
http://tinyurl.com/29ae4x (it's an excerpt from his book).

In section 6.5, Merz offers this example of code to create a bookmark to
a URL: 

[ /Count 0
/Title (Click here for home page)
/Action  /Subtype /URI /URI (http://www.ifconnection.de/~tm) 
/OUT pdfmark

I don't see anything where Merz addresses bookmark order, only nesting
and open/closed. But I may just be missing it, so have a look yourself.

Where are you putting the PostScript code frame? I'm purely guessing,
but I'd put it on the first body page of the doc, above the main text
frame and thus ahead of any pgfs from which bookmarks are generated. I
wouldn't put it on a master or reference page (other PDFMark functions,
sure, but not bookmarks). 

Also, Merz says FM puts the frame coordinates in the PostScript stack.
It's not clear whether it matters for bookmarks, but you may need to
remove the coordinates by putting four pop commands (pop pop pop pop) at
the beginning of your code. 

That's all I've got, and it's pretty speculative, but I hope it helps. 

Happy weekend!

Minor clarification. I said:

 guessing, but I'd put it on the first body page of the doc, 

I should have said the first body page of the first file in the book.
The point is to locate it ahead of all the other bookmark sources in the
book.

Color Output From Frame

2008-02-29 Thread Jacob Schäffer
Framers,

Unfortunately I mentioned in the second paragraph the additive and subtractive 
color models backwards.

RGB is the *additive* model, based on the addition of luminous colors. CMYK is 
a subtractive model, based on the absorption (subtraction) of complementary 
colors from (nominally) white light by pigments or inks. 

Thanks to Fred Ridder pointing out my typo.

Frame 7.2 and Vista

2008-02-29 Thread Phil Heron
Hi Edwin,

I do have Frame 7.2 installed under Vista but I haven't been using it
intensively on this platform - my primary working environment is still
XP.

There was no problem with the standard installation of Frame, but I
didn't install the included Acrobat Distiller as I already have Acrobat
8 Pro.

As I mentioned in my message to the Framers list, I was at first unable
to install the build 158 patch, but after trying the following
suggestion from Denise L. Moss-Fritch I was able to apply the update:
---
Right-click on the patch file and select Properties.

>From the Compatibility tab of the Properties dialog, select "Run this
program in the compatibility mode for" check box and select Windows XP
(Service Patch 2).

Click OK.
---

I haven't noticed any problems with Frame 7.2 on Vista but, as I
mentioned, I haven't been using it intensively.

Incidentally, I recently had to edit some old Frame 5.5 documents and I
was surpised to find that Frame 5.5.6 installed and worked unexpectedly
smoothly under Vista.

If I had had the choice, I would have chosen XP for my new PC. I find
some features of Vista extremely awkward, in particular the new version
of Windows Explorer.

Hope this helps,

Phil Heron

Frame 7.2 and Vista 


Framers,

I have just received a new PC - it's running Windows Vista.

I installed Frame 7.2 (build 144) successfully but found I was unable to
install the patch to update it to build 158.

I know Frame 7.2 is not officially supported on Vista but I am not
currently in a position to upgrade to Frame 8.

Does anybody have any experience with running this combination?

I would be particulary interested in finding out how stable Frame 7.2 is
on Vista and whether there is any way I can install the 158 patch.

Thanks,

Phil Heron

Text string in title case?

2008-02-29 Thread Paul Findon
Hi Tina,

This is impossible with FrameMaker alone. I thought perhaps Spell  
Catcher could handle it, as it does have commands for changing case  
to Title style, but even that simply capitalises the first letter of  
each word.

A job for AppleScript perhaps? (NG to you unless you use Mac  
FrameMaker.)

I found a script at  that, in addition to changing case to Title style, can also  
set a bunch of specified definite and indefinite articles,  
conjunctions, and prepositions that don't start a sentence to  
lowercase. Something the script author has called "Mixed" style.

I'm not a programmer, but with a little head scratching, I managed to  
edit this script so that it searches an open FrameMaker document and  
changes all paragraphs tagged "Heading1" or whatever you like to  
Mixed style. Works a treat!

Incidentally, for Title style (or what CMOS calls "Headline" style),  
do you follow the Microsoft style of not capitalising prepositions of  
four or fewer letters. Or Apple's style of not capitalising  
prepositions of three or fewer letters. Or CMOS's recommendation of  
lowercasing prepositions regardless of length?

Styles - you gotta love 'em.

Paul

Hi Paul,

For Windows FrameMaker, you can use FrameScript. If anyone is interested in 
a script like this, please contact me offlist. Thanks.

Text string in title case?

2008-02-29 Thread Peter Gold
In the days of FM/unix, before book-wide search/replace and other
come-lately power features, something like this would be done with
fmbatch and one or more of GREP, AWK, and SED text-manipulation tools.

The general plan was to use control fmbatch with a unix script to
convert all appropriate .fm files to MIF, then perform the
text-crunching on the MIF files, then reconvert the MIF files back to
.fm with fmbatch.

If there's enough volume to repay the effort, something similar would
work today with mif2go from omsys.com, dobatch from cudspan, dzbatcher
from datazone.com, or FM2MIF (a new free utility that installs under
FM's File > Utilities menu option, from dtptools.com, to convert
directories-full of .fm files to MIF). I believe mif2go's MIF
converter is free; dobatch and dzbatcher are free. All but FM2MIF work
like fmbatch.

Instead of the unix tools, Perl or other newer text-manglers can do
the find/replace, perhaps with the assistance of GREP.

Converting .fm to MIF is the first step.

The second step would be to find all the ALL CAPS titles in all the
MIFs, collect them into a single-column list from which you can remove
the duplicates, and create a second column with the precise conversion
for each title - this would settle style issues over which title words
to make all lowercase, etc.

The third step would be to find and replace every instance of the
uppercase titles with their title cased partner in the MIF, without
damaging the MIF file's integrity. This may take some care in cases
where the titles break across lines, etc.

Finally, you'd use one of the fmbatch-replacements to reconstruct .fm
files from the MIFs.

I'm not a coder or scripter. Heck, my long-term and short-term memory
aren't that good anymore. BUT, it's hard to forget a proven tool-chain
process like this.

Peter

Index colum-page breaks

2008-02-29 Thread Pete Rourke
Hi Framers



Another newbie question.



On a generated index, I have a two column spread alphabetically. My problem
is trying to find the right combination of 'keep with', Widow/Orphan lines,
Format  to keep it from leaving the Group Titles IX paragraph with its Index
line at the bottom of a column or page, and the first entry standing all
alone at the top of the second column or the top of the next page.


I have unsuccessfully tried a number of permutations without success. Maybe
there is something besides the paragraph designer??

Text string in title case?

2008-02-29 Thread Rick Quatro
Hi Peter,

This is one of the strengths of MIF: that you can get an ASCII 
representation of your FM document and do manipulations like this. However, 
the advantage of FrameScript (and the FDK) is that you can work directly on 
the FrameMaker document (or book) without risk of corrupting the MIF file. 
FrameScript has built-in string functions as well as the ability to use 
regular expressions.

I recently did a TitleCase script that used an INI file for exceptions, both 
for acronyms that should stay uppercase and words that should be lowercase.

[Upper]
ADA=
II=
III=
IV=
HVAC=
TV=
XY=
UCLA=
ICU=
PA=
HUCLA=
USC=
LAC=

[Lower]
and=
to=

The script could be restricted to processing particular paragraph formats in 
order to limit its scope. Another useful feature is that each paragraph that 
is changed can be written to a hyperlinked log file. This would allow you to 
check what was actually changed, and to jump to a changed paragraph if 
necessary.

Depending on the scope of a problem, sometimes you have to fix things like 
this by hand. However, for anyone that uses FrameMaker on a near daily 
basis, FrameScript is definitely worthwhile to learn. I am amazed by how 
much people do "by hand" with FrameMaker.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem, but if the GroupTitlesIX
paragraph definition has Keep With Next turned on (on the Pagination tab
of Paragraph Designer), it won't appear alone at the bottom of a
column/page. 

Maybe you turned on Keep With Next for a specific instance of the
paragraph only (like in the reference page IX flow), by clicking Apply
instead of Update All?

You want to look at the free Tocbreaker plug-in from Cudspan. It's a

All of myy Group Titles IX has the Keep With Next PGF checked with
Widow/Orphan lines at 1, Format at In Column. And the reference pages IX
flow is the same.

I went through each index header letter, and they were all the Group Titles
IX, but I did do the update all.

This partially fixed my problem. It took care of all but one letter - O
which with its index line is on one page, and the content is on the next.
The column break on other letters was fixed with the update all.

Better, but I'm still baffled.

Thanks Peter Fred, Stuart. I think it's all about holding your mouth right,

Put the text cursor in the "broken" pgf and look at the status line at
the bottom left of the window. The pgf format name is displayed there;
does it have an asterisk next to it? If so, that indicates an override.
Reapply the pgf format to that pgf. 

Grasping at straws now: FM's name for this format is "GroupTitlesIX,"
which isn't the same as "Group Titles IX." You don't have two similar
but not identical format names going, do you?

The widow/orphan setting affects text only within a single paragraph, so 
that is a red herring when it comes to keeping a title paragraph with 
the following paragraph.  (It is useful in keeping multi-line index 
entries from splitting awkwardly, however.)

Richard pointed out the likely solution, which is that you forgot to 
Update All after changing your Group Titles IX paragraph to keep with 
next.  That is the proper approach, because you will always want your 
group title to be followed by a first-level entry.

Peter Gold adds a recommendation for TocBreaker, a free plug-in.  That 
is also a useful tool, but not for this exact problem of group titles. 
TocBreaker is better applied to the problem of how to keep second-level 
entries listed directly under first-level entries, without having 
keep-with-next or keep-with-previous create long lists of entries that 
act as unbreakable blocks.  TocBreaker works by "memorizing" the places 
where you manually insert breaks, so that you can reapply them en masse 
after the file is regenerated.

Thanks Richard


The pgf format is "GroupTitlesIX", and there is no asterisk on the status
line. There is only one GroupTitlesIX format in the paragraph catalog, and
re-applying the format changed nothing.

I know that adding a new line above the broken pgf is an option were I on a
hard deadline, but I will journey on at the straw grasping.

PDFMark Bookmarks

My last attempt at getting this answered resulted in zero responses. I will 
assume that it was because my post was not a model of concision or clarity. So 
I'll try it again, hitting the highlights.

When inserting PDFMark bookmarks to other PDF documents, is it possible to 
force 
the inserted links to the top of the Bookmarks panel on the generated PDF 
document? If there is, what's the magic argument? Currently, the bookmarks may 
be placed at the top of the column (if there are many chapters) or the bottom 
(if there is only one chapter).

Right now, the PDFMark argument to create the bookmark to another document 
looks 
like this:

[/Title (Title)
/Action /GoToR /File (foo.pdf)
/C [0 0 1]
/F 2
/OUT pdfmark

Well, I only play a PDFMark user on TV, but since it's Friday and no one
else has jumped in... 

DISCLAIMER: What little I know comes not from experience, but from
Thomas Merz's PDFMark Primer, which you can download from
http://tinyurl.com/29ae4x (it's an excerpt from his book).

In section 6.5, Merz offers this example of code to create a bookmark to
a URL: 

[ /Count 0
/Title (Click here for home page)
/Action << /Subtype /URI /URI (http://www.ifconnection.de/~tm) >>
/OUT pdfmark

I don't see anything where Merz addresses bookmark order, only nesting
and open/closed. But I may just be missing it, so have a look yourself.

Where are you putting the PostScript code frame? I'm purely guessing,
but I'd put it on the first body page of the doc, above the main text
frame and thus ahead of any pgfs from which bookmarks are generated. I
wouldn't put it on a master or reference page (other PDFMark functions,
sure, but not bookmarks). 

Also, Merz says FM puts the frame coordinates in the PostScript stack.
It's not clear whether it matters for bookmarks, but you may need to
remove the coordinates by putting four pop commands (pop pop pop pop) at
the beginning of your code. 

That's all I've got, and it's pretty speculative, but I hope it helps. 

Happy weekend!
Richard

Minor clarification. I said:

I should have said the first body page of the first file in the book.
The point is to locate it ahead of all the other bookmark sources in the
book.
