Printing Photoshop gradient in Frame
I have this client who is trying to print a PDF created from Framemaker to her network printer. She is stating that the pantone color is too dark or not true. It looks fine as a non gradient using the colors that you can set up within frame. Is there something else I can tell her do? Frame 9.0 Windows XP SP3. See her note: Scott, When I do the header directly in Framemaker and use the custom Pantone 216 that we set up while you were here, then print it, it comes out correctly. When I do the graphic with a 216 background in Photoshop then import it into Framemaker then print it, it comes out extremely dark. I am doing pdfs already in both cases. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Printing Photoshop gradient in Frame
Update I did some testing here. I used a tif and eps image I created in photoshop and applied a pantone 216 gradient. I imported both images into Frame 9.0. I used the save as pdf function and made sure I unchecked the box that converts colors to rgb. I printed to a cmyk printer here that outputs at 600 dpi and another that outputs at 1200 dpi. I compared the results to our pantone swatch we have. Seems the 600 dpi printer was very close to the swatch - a maroon or burgundy if you will. The 1200 dpi printer was darker and a different color almost a purple. I think I have my answers.

Cross Reference Issue
Version: FM9 (9.0p237) OS: XP Pro with SP3 This will either be simple or impossible to fix, but either way, I'm stumped. I've created a cross reference that allows me to refer to a specific step within a list of instructions, but I have a small problem. The period that follows my step number is being included in the X-Ref - and I don't want it to be. My instructions are defined as follows: Instruction1 n=1.\t Instruction+ n+.\t My X=Ref (Instruction Step #) is defined as step $paranum Using Special Marker to insert the cross reference results in, for example, step 13. And I don't want the period as part of the X-Ref. Any suggestions?

SOLVED Inserting a same marker in all files of a book
Hi all, Thanks for all your ideas but yesterday I finally saw the light... I remembered the good old "By pasting" option in the Find/replace window, and magically, you can paste a marker! This is something I did not know and which might be interesting for others! Luckily my docs contain some recurring text so I can find/replace "recurring" text by "recurringblablabla" text and then find/replace "blablabla" by the marker.

The 'PageStyle' marker is a marker recognised by ePublisher to apply a specific layout (override to the standard layout).

Well, once again, I probably don't understand the context... (It would help to know what the purpose of the PageStyle marker, what you're trying to accomplish, and why the kinds of pgfs in the main text flow matter.) But what the heck, I'll jump in anyway. Assuming that the marker can live in a background text frame (like the header or footer), put it on the master pages of one of the files. Then import page layouts from that file to the other files in the book. HTH! Richard G.

DITA cross-reference formats
Hello All I'm new to FM 9 (though well-versed in FM 7.x). I'm using the Structured interface, editing a DITA structured document, but am having problems trying to edit cross-reference formats. I can insert the fm-xref or xref elements with no problem. However, the dialog box that opens is titled "DITA Cross-Reference", and I want to edit the xref format - but there's no way to do it. I managed once to trick FM into opening the ordinary Cross-Reference dialog box, where there is an Edit Format button. But I'm darned if I can remember how I did it. Special > Cross-Reference opens the DITA thingy, as does double-clicking on an existing xref. Thanks for your help.
