Re: Hyperlinking Between Frame and MS Word Source
Hello Angela, I don't know which 'entry points' Word generates when creating (html) output from it for a heading 1 for example, but that can easily be found out by generating a Word doc. As an emergency solution you can then use the pass through option in Frame/Webworks to type a working link in Framemaker. You then have to leave the idea of perfect single-sourcing behind however...

Re: Registration marks missing
Scott, If the final page size is 11 x 17, you'll have to set up a custom page size (add an inch to both size so the final page size is 12 x 18). You'll need the extra inch around the page to add the registration marks. If this fails, try printing to PS and then distill instead of saving to PDF. Do the registration marks now show?

Please help me stop weeping... (sub-documents when converting to HTML)
I get this completely irritating message 50 times every time I convert my document to HTML: Cannot find a heading element for a section that is being converted to a sub-document. The top-level document will not contain a link to the sub-document. OK to continue? I hit OK a billion times, weeping with frustration, and the result is fine. I just can't hit OK that much. I'll end up with carpel tunnel. Plus this is just a small test book. I can't hit OK 2000 times for the real book. The reason is clear but yet unclear to me. I am saving a structured book into HTML and told Frame via the HTML conversion tables in the reference pages (for the book), that I want new pages to start on various elements. Fine. I map the elements to various HTML tags. OK. The thing is I don't really WANT Frame to automatically include links to the subdocument in the HTML. Why? Read on my friends... For example, if my Frame document has a page like this: (Frame chapter) +++Functions follow+ These functions are really great. Check them out. This is a link to Function A This is a link to Function B This is a link to Function C Thank for reading, enjoy your functions. +++End of Functions That is kinda how the start of the chapter goes. After this overview page are the functions themselves on new pages, first Function A, then B, etc. Now, since Function A is a link to the function which starts a new page (in the book), I don't want this link automatically reincluded when it is saved to HTML. Because then I get: (HTML OUTPUT) +++Functions follow+ These functions are really great. Check them out. This is a link to Function A This is a link to Function B This is a link to Function C Thank for reading, enjoy your functions. +++End of Functions (--- auto-inserted by HTML conversion) Link to Function A (--- auto-inserted by HTML conversion) Link to Function B (--- auto-inserted by HTML conversion) Link to Function C Where the last three are the automatic links that the HTML conversion puts in there for me. So now there are two full sets of links on the page both of which work. Ugh. Not wanted. I want the HTML conversion to generate a new page without actually inserting a link for me, since the link is already there in the actual Frame document. So what I have done is NOT map the Function start new page elements to HTML headings (instead to Body), which stops the HTML conversion from adding the link to the sub-document. So that is why I get all them messages. My question: can I suppress the messages via the Frame .ini file or something, or is there another, better way to do what I am trying to do which also suppresses these annoying messages? Is there a way to tell the HTML conversion: Make a new web page when you get to this element, but DO NOT add a link to the subdocument? Many, many thanks. I just can't take it anymore. --EG Eric Geissinger ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

RE: Registration marks missing
All your suggestions do not work for save as PDF with Registration Marks. But, when I use the print option with Adobe PDF as my printer it works. Has anyone else run Save as PDF and gotten registration marks? However, I was under the impression that printing to PDF is not the right way to create a color print-ready pdf. Colors are all off. Second, I have access to Frame on the Mac and I'm just wondering if it would be safer to use that knowing I will get the color and output I expect. This is our new company's first 1,000-page catalog and want to avoid every pitfall I can. Could I do this catalog in Frame 9, save as .mif 7 and open on the old Mac version to do my color output?

Writer wrote: Forget the ePublisher side of things for now. I'd like to know if you can link/xref/whatever from a point INSIDE an FM file to a point INSIDE a Word file, and vice versa. Are you really wanting to link to a place inside a Word file, or are you wanting to link to a place inside a help file whose _source_ is Word? Angela was wanting to do the latter. As I pointed out, that's easily done using a hypertext command in FM, e.g.: Message URL SomeHTMLPage.html#12345 In the HTML output (I'm assuming some kind of HTML-based help system here), this turns into something like this: a href=SomeHTMLPage.html#12345Link/a In the Word source for the destination HTML page, you need to do something to add an anchor tag to the intended destination, e.g.: a name=12345Destination of Link/a I know how to do that in FM, but not in Word -- although I'm sure there's a way, maybe using bookmarks.

RE: Please help me stop weeping... (sub-documents
Interesting... Rick had an answer to the clicking the button a million times issue. I frequently save Maker as HTML, and use it for a help system. I don't use structured Maker, so I don't get this problem with the missing element -- but it DOES create the unwanted links at the bottom of the page. My goal is to prepare these files so I can run them through Doxygen and get a regular-looking HTML Help. Well, I made a tool in Java that preps the HTML files for me. It does the following: * Maps heading levels to topics, and inserts the necessary Doxygen markup * Strips out the unnecessary HTML head and tail tags, because Doxygen will insert its own * Changes the names of the files from the Maker-generated names (mybook-1.html, mybook-2.html, etc.) into filenames based on the topic name. It fixes all links from one file to another, as well. * and YES!!! It strips out those nasty links at the end. All these steps are rather vertical -- they're based on formatting that I have in my Maker templates. So I can't just give this to you. BUT... It may be easy to extract the logic that whacks the unwanted links at the end of the file. If you're interested, we can talk about this -- maybe it can turn into a meaningful freeware tool. Are there enough people on this list to show an interest in that??? cud ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: Registration marks missing
Changing the page size will not resolve your problem since that will only move the marks further beyond your reach (they exist beyond the ArtBox that you see in the preview image of the file). It is probable the marks are there but that you just cannot see them. Here is something you can try: Open the pdf in Acrobat and select Advanced Print Production Crop Pages With Show All Boxes selected, choose BleedBox from the drop down list Set the Units to your preferred measure Enter the distance you require into the Margin Controls Field (say 10mm) Click OK.

OK. What if you print to PDF instead, and then follow those steps? It is preferable, I think, to have FM create the marks so that they are accurately placed as the time of creation.

SV: Registration marks missing
Scott, This is likely a PDF /CropBox understanding issue, which mean that everything might be OK afterall. Unfortunately, the term CropBox might bring confusion although the concept is clear. /CropBox defines the *visible* page size in a viewer. CropBox has effectively NOTHING to do with trimming according to crop marks - although the name says so. /MediaBox defines the RAW print paper size, ie. when you print a letter size on legal or A3 paper, you'll see the cut marks and use a hand-held knife to cut :-) /ArtBox is of absolutely no use if you wish a reference to a fixed region (I've NEVER understood the significant value of the ArtBox EXCEPT when placing PDF as substitute for EPS -- in which case it's totally meaningless to apply crop marks (because they will become art)) /TrimBox, which defines the true cutting edges in real-world production anno 2011. In many cases ignorant designers and quite a few software packages sets both TrimBox and CropBox *wrong* and in some cases with reversed meaning -- adding huge to overall confusion. Personally, I discarded the Save As PDF in Frame 9 a long time ago. I did that when I discovered it was based on more than 10 years old PostScript Level 1 code stolen from antediluvian Unix versions of Framemaker. So, printing to PDF from Frame is *still* ultimately the best bet *IF* and *ONLY* if you work with RGB bitmap art (TIFF, BMP, JPG) and avoid spot colours like the plague. If you use CMYK TIFF, don't go to print at all *unless* you can *successfully* use Save As PDF *or* persuade your printer to accept pre-separated PostScript or PDF for print. And -- in this case -- don't say go without a final proof. Unfortunately I can't offer a bullet-proof work-around. However, my Publi PDF software has made quite a difference for SEVERAL Framemaker users worldwide over the past decade, of which MANY users subscribe to this list. I have paid enormous amounts to Flexera Software to keep an Activation Service alive for Publi PDF, and through the past 3 years the residue from the Publi PDF *single user* edition has been approx the price of one or two (very, very, very good though) Italian Amarone(s). Anyway, today I'm working on other very promising projects and really only win nothingness by keeping the Publi PDF client licensed. Hence, Publi PDF - in the form most users know it -- is going FREEWARE quite soon (USD 850 per license today). I really think Publi PDF could help you with your catalogue, but you'll have to experiment with it. As FREEWARE Publi PDF is *effectively* unsupported. A good place to start is here: http://www.grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/ You'll find a LOT of information here: http://www.grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/techdocs.htm. You MUST read this stuff if you REALLY want to know what Publi PDF can do for you. I don't answer questions that is already answered in the techdocs section. The latest *official* single user edition is revision 1.50.0432. This is available for download from: http://grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/download.htm. This edition works with Distiller 8.X to X and GPL GhostScript 8.70 or later (that's not true, older versions are supported, but DON'T use them). This version may work on Vista and Windows 7 if you understand how to disable UAC. If not, wait for version 1.9.X. The latest *real* Publi PDF Client is revision 1.9.X. It will be published to http://grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/download.htm as soon as I can find the time for it. This version runs smoothly on Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit), and I don't care anything about Vista or older Windows versions. 1.9.X might work on Vista or XP, and if it doesn't please use revision 1.5.0432. This works on XP. If you have Vista you ask for trouble. Get rid of it !!! Revision 1.50.0432, which you can download as described and use for production (for free) in 30 days, will be substituted by the FULL *free* Publi PDF Client BEFORE the 30 days expiration period ends. So, *IF* you install 1.5.0432 you'll need to remove it and re-install 1.9.X later.

Re: Registration marks missing
Scott, I think the Save as PDF command automatically invokes a crop which is causing the reg marks to disappear. Printing to PS using the Adobe PDF printer should be fine. I would handle the color in this order of preference: 1) Open the Frame files (assuming no new functions in 9 are used) in Frame 7 on the Mac and output to a correctly output CMYK PDF. 2) If your printer will support it, create PostScript/PDF files where you do your own separations from FrameMaker. FrameMaker will correctly separate the files and color integrity is maintained with the separations. I've done several 300+ page 5 color books this way on with Windows side with much success. The problem is finding a printer with a capable pre-press person that can handle the pre-separated files. 3) Output the PDF from the Windows side and post-process the colors.

RE: Adding fixed text to a single chapter's page numbering
David Millis wrote: I actually have figured out the Appendix page numbering that I wanted but now I'm stumped trying to get the TOC to reflect that same numbering format for the Appendix. Keeping the conversation on the list allows others to benefit from it -- or to correct me if I tell you something stupid. :-) I see now what I missed before. You're hard-coding the A into the master pages instead of using the chapter number ($chapnum) variable. A better approach would be to put $chapnum-# in the footers. In Numbering Properties (via the book window, not in the file), set Chapter # for the appendix either to 1 and ALPHABETIC (N) or to A and Text. To make the TOC work, first of all, you need to be using a different paragraph format for the appendix title than for the chapter titles. Let's say it's called AppendixTitle. That's so that the generated TOC uses a different paragraph format for that entry, in this case AppendixTitleTOC. Then, in the reference page TOC flow, you just need to add the chapter number variable to the AppendixTitleTOC entry where appropriate. For instance, it might look like this (\t is a tab): $chapnum \t $paratext \t\t\t$chapnum-$pagenum In the generated TOC, that would look something like this: A Title text of appendix ..A-1 Of course, you can omit the $chapnum before the title, precede it with Appendix, or whatever.

Hyperlinking Between Frame and MS Word Source
Hello Angela, I don't know which 'entry points' Word generates when creating (html) output from it for a heading 1 for example, but that can easily be found out by generating a Word doc. As an emergency solution you can then use the "pass through" option in Frame/Webworks to type a working link in Framemaker.

Scott, If the final page size is 11 x 17, you'll have to set up a custom page size (add an inch to both size so the final page size is 12 x 18). You'll need the extra inch around the page to add the registration marks. If this fails, try printing to PS and then distill instead of saving to PDF. Do the registration marks now show?

Please help me stop weeping... (sub-documents when converting to HTML)
I get this completely irritating message 50 times every time I convert my document to HTML: "Cannot find a heading element for a section that is being converted to a sub-document. The top-level document will not contain a link to the sub-document. OK to continue?" I hit OK a billion times, weeping with frustration, and the result is fine. I just can't hit OK that much. I'll end up with carpel tunnel. Plus this is just a small test book. I can't hit OK 2000 times for the real book. The reason is clear but yet unclear to me. I am saving a structured book into HTML and told Frame via the HTML conversion tables in the reference pages (for the book), that I want new pages to start on various elements. Fine. I map the elements to various HTML tags. OK. The thing is I don't really WANT Frame to automatically include links to the subdocument in the HTML. Why? Read on my friends... For example, if my Frame document has a page like this: (Frame chapter) +++Functions follow+ These functions are really great. Check them out. This is a link to Function A This is a link to Function B This is a link to Function C Thank for reading, enjoy your functions. +++End of Functions That is kinda how the start of the chapter goes. After this overview page are the functions themselves on new pages, first Function A, then B, etc. Now, since "Function A" is a link to the function which starts a new page (in the book), I don't want this link automatically reincluded when it is saved to HTML. Because then I get: (HTML OUTPUT) +++Functions follow+ These functions are really great. Check them out. This is a link to Function A This is a link to Function B This is a link to Function C Thank for reading, enjoy your functions. +++End of Functions (---> auto-inserted by HTML conversion) Link to Function A (---> auto-inserted by HTML conversion) Link to Function B (---> auto-inserted by HTML conversion) Link to Function C Where the last three are the "automatic" links that the HTML conversion puts in there for me. So now there are two full sets of links on the page both of which work. Ugh. Not wanted. I want the HTML conversion to "generate" a new page without actually inserting a link for me, since the link is already there in the actual Frame document. So what I have done is NOT map the Function "start new page" elements to HTML headings (instead to Body), which stops the HTML conversion from adding the link to the sub-document. So that is why I get all them messages. My question: can I suppress the messages via the Frame .ini file or something, or is there another, better way to do what I am trying to do which also suppresses these annoying messages? Is there a way to tell the HTML conversion: "Make a new web page when you get to this element, but DO NOT add a link to the subdocument?" Many, many thanks. I just can't take it anymore. --EG Eric Geissinger

My document is 8.5 x 11. I'm printing to an exaggerated page size 11 x17 to show the bleeds. This is the way I have done it in years past. I know its got to be something I'm doing in this new version. I've got to be missing a step.

Registration marks missing
All your suggestions do not work for save as PDF with Registration Marks. But, when I use the print option with Adobe PDF as my printer it works. Has anyone else run Save as PDF and gotten registration marks? However, I was under the impression that printing to PDF is not the right way to create a color "print-ready" pdf. Colors are all off. Second, I have access to Frame on the Mac and I'm just wondering if it would be safer to use that knowing I will get the color and output I expect. This is our new company's first 1,000-page catalog and want to avoid every pitfall I can. Could I do this catalog in Frame 9, save as .mif 7 and open on the old Mac version to do my color output? A thought. Again, the color frustrations raise their ugly heads with Frame.

Hyperlinking Between Frame and MS Word Source

Are you really wanting to link to a place inside a Word file, or are you wanting to link to a place inside a help file whose _source_ is Word? Angela was wanting to do the latter. As I pointed out, that's easily done using a hypertext command in FM, e.g.: Message URL SomeHTMLPage.html#12345 In the HTML output (I'm assuming some kind of HTML-based help system here), this turns into something like this: Link In the Word source for the destination HTML page, you need to do something to add an anchor tag to the intended destination, e.g.: Destination of Link I know how to do that in FM, but not in Word -- although I'm sure there's a way, maybe using bookmarks.

Please help me stop weeping... (sub-documents
Interesting... Rick had an answer to the clicking the button a million times issue. I frequently save Maker as HTML, and use it for a help system. I don't use structured Maker, so I don't get this problem with the missing element -- but it DOES create the unwanted links at the bottom of the page. My goal is to prepare these files so I can run them through Doxygen and get a regular-looking HTML Help. Well, I made a tool in Java that preps the HTML files for me. It does the following: * Maps heading levels to "topics", and inserts the necessary Doxygen markup * Strips out the unnecessary HTML head and tail tags, because Doxygen will insert its own * Changes the names of the files from the Maker-generated names (mybook-1.html, mybook-2.html, etc.) into filenames based on the topic name. It fixes all links from one file to another, as well. * and YES!!! It strips out those nasty links at the end. All these steps are rather vertical -- they're based on formatting that I have in my Maker templates. So I can't just give this to you. BUT... It may be easy to extract the logic that whacks the unwanted links at the end of the file. If you're interested, we can talk about this -- maybe it can turn into a meaningful freeware tool. Are there enough people on this list to show an interest in that??? cud

SV: Registration marks missing
Scott, This is likely a PDF /CropBox "understanding" issue, which mean that everything might be OK afterall. Unfortunately, the term "CropBox" might bring confusion although the concept is clear. /CropBox defines the *visible* page size in a viewer. CropBox has effectively NOTHING to do with "trimming" according to crop marks - although the name says so. /MediaBox defines the RAW "print" paper size, ie. when you print a "letter" size on "legal" or "A3" paper, you'll see the cut marks and use a hand-held knife to "cut" :-) /ArtBox is of absolutely no use if you wish a reference to a fixed region (I've NEVER understood the significant value of the ArtBox EXCEPT when placing PDF as substitute for EPS -- in which case it's totally meaningless to apply crop marks (because they will become "art")) /TrimBox, which defines the true "cutting" edges in real-world production anno 2011. In many cases ignorant designers and quite a few software packages sets both TrimBox and CropBox *wrong* and in some cases with reversed meaning -- adding huge to overall confusion. Personally, I discarded the "Save As PDF" in Frame 9 a long time ago. I did that when I discovered it was based on more than 10 years old PostScript Level 1 code stolen from antediluvian Unix versions of Framemaker. So, printing to PDF from Frame is *still* ultimately the best bet *IF* and *ONLY* if you work with RGB bitmap art (TIFF, BMP, JPG) and avoid spot colours like the plague. If you use CMYK TIFF, don't go to print at all *unless* you can *successfully* use "Save As PDF" *or* persuade your printer to accept pre-separated PostScript or PDF for print. And -- in this case -- don't say "go" without a final proof. Unfortunately I can't offer a bullet-proof work-around. However, my Publi PDF software has made quite a difference for SEVERAL Framemaker users worldwide over the past decade, of which MANY users subscribe to this list. I have paid enormous amounts to Flexera Software to keep an Activation Service alive for Publi PDF, and through the past 3 years the residue from the Publi PDF *single user* edition has been approx the price of one or two (very, very, very good though) Italian Amarone(s). Anyway, today I'm working on other very promising projects and really only win nothingness by keeping the Publi PDF "client" licensed. Hence, Publi PDF - in the form most users know it -- is going FREEWARE quite soon (USD 850 per license today). I really think Publi PDF could help you with your catalogue, but you'll have to experiment with it. As FREEWARE Publi PDF is *effectively* unsupported. A good place to start is here: http://www.grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/ You'll find a LOT of information here: http://www.grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/techdocs.htm. You MUST read this stuff if you REALLY want to know what Publi PDF can do for you. I don't answer questions that is already answered in the "techdocs" section. The latest *official* single user edition is revision 1.50.0432. This is available for download from: http://grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/download.htm. This edition works with Distiller 8.X to X and GPL GhostScript 8.70 or later (that's not true, older versions are supported, but DON'T use them). This version may work on Vista and Windows 7 if you understand how to disable UAC. If not, wait for version 1.9.X. The latest *real* Publi PDF Client is revision 1.9.X. It will be published to http://grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/download.htm as soon as I can find the time for it. This version runs smoothly on Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit), and I don't care anything about Vista or older Windows versions. 1.9.X might work on Vista or XP, and if it doesn't please use revision 1.5.0432. This works on XP. If you have Vista you ask for trouble. Get rid of it !!! Revision 1.50.0432, which you can download as described and use for production (for free) in 30 days, will be substituted by the FULL *free* "Publi PDF Client" BEFORE the 30 days expiration period ends. So, *IF* you install 1.5.0432 you'll need to remove it and re-install 1.9.X later.

Scott, I think the Save as PDF command automatically invokes a crop which is causing the reg marks to disappear. Printing to PS using the Adobe PDF printer should be fine. I would handle the color in this order of preference: 1) Open the Frame files (assuming no new functions in 9 are used) in Frame 7 on the Mac and output to a correctly output CMYK PDF. 2) If your printer will support it, create PostScript/PDF files where you do your own separations from FrameMaker. FrameMaker will correctly separate the files and color integrity is maintained with the separations. I've done several 300+ page 5 color books this way on with Windows side with much success. The problem is finding a printer with a capable pre-press person that can handle the pre-separated files. 3) Output the PDF from the Windows side and post-process the colors.

Adding fixed text to a single chapter's page numbering

Keeping the conversation on the list allows others to benefit from it -- or to correct me if I tell you something stupid. :-) I see now what I missed before. You're hard-coding the "A" into the master pages instead of using the chapter number (<$chapnum>) variable. A better approach would be to put "<$chapnum-#>" in the footers. In Numbering Properties (via the book window, not in the file), set Chapter # for the appendix either to 1 and ALPHABETIC (N) or to A and Text. To make the TOC work, first of all, you need to be using a different paragraph format for the appendix title than for the chapter titles. Let's say it's called AppendixTitle. That's so that the generated TOC uses a different paragraph format for that entry, in this case AppendixTitleTOC. Then, in the reference page TOC flow, you just need to add the chapter number variable to the AppendixTitleTOC entry where appropriate. For instance, it might look like this (\t is a tab): <$chapnum> \t <$paratext> \t\t\t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum> In the generated TOC, that would look something like this: A Title text of appendix ..A-1 Of course, you can omit the <$chapnum> before the title, precede it with "Appendix," or whatever.

Registration marks missing
Print to PDF does put the marks on the pages. But from what I understand that is not the right way to get the best cmyk output for print. -Original Message- From: Alan Litchfield [mailto:a...@alphabyte.co.nz] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 4:00 PM To: White, Scott Cc: Brad Anderson; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Registration marks missing OK. What if you print to PDF instead, and then follow those steps? It is preferable, I think, to have FM create the marks so that they are accurately placed as the time of creation. At least you are headed in a better direction :) Alan White, Scott wrote: > Alan > I thought for sure your suggestion would show me the crops.

Registration marks missing
Alan I thought for sure your suggestion would show me the crops. Nothing. I was able to put the marks on the page using Acrobat. But still no luck natively. Amazing. -Original Message- From: Alan T Litchfield [mailto:a...@alphabyte.co.nz] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 2:27 PM To: White, Scott Cc: Brad Anderson; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Registration marks missing Changing the page size will not resolve your problem since that will only move the marks further beyond your reach (they exist beyond the ArtBox that you see in the preview image of the file). It is probable the marks are there but that you just cannot see them. Here is something you can try: Open the pdf in Acrobat and select Advanced > Print Production > Crop Pages With Show All Boxes selected, choose BleedBox from the drop down list Set the Units to your preferred measure Enter the distance you require into the Margin Controls Field (say 10mm) Click OK.
