Re: Vertical line at right edge of graphics frame
Beverly, I have no idea if this is similar to the experience I had, but... In my case, I had a text frame (no background fill or colour) placed over a coloured graphic for a brochure I was converting to PDF and printing in high quality. If I had View Borders selected in FM when printing to PDF, a thin white line appeared where the text frame was, but only on the hard copy of the document, not on screen. If I deselected the View Borders option before I printed, the thin white line disappeared. If you work with Borders visible maybe try turning that feature off just before printing to see if that makes a difference.

how to convert FrameMaker file to SGML format
Now that I am done with my Component Maintenance Manual, I have been asked to deliver it in SGML format. I did not create it using Structured FrameMaker.

Re: Importing PDF Comments into FrameMaker 10
Hi all, I actually think I figured out the problem here. If a block of text is being edited (deleted or replaced) and the text happens to contain content that cannot be in track text (TT) edits , such as variables, and xrefs, then a marker is created which contains the edit. The track text edits only work if the content being edited is only text. I did not realize this. I assumed the text surrounding the marker text would be placed in TT edits and only thing that cannot be in a TT edit would be in the marker. I must say this significantly reduces the usability of importing PDF comments into FrameMaker. its not as if a reviewer is going to know that a variable is the PDF and he should avoid editing it so it can show up as track text edits in FM.

Acrobat Pro X is Slow
Hi all, I recently upgraded from TCS 2.5 to TCS 3.5. This means I went from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat X Professional. Has anyone else noticed a significant slowness in opening and navigating through PDFs in 10 compared to 9? I have 8 GB of RAM and a solid state drive for pete sake and Acrobat X still noticeably lags when loading a PDF, selecting a link etc. According to this forum post, I am not alone. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3796164 One suggestion was to disable the enhanced security, which I did. Once I did, I did notice a small improvement in speed but nothing enormous. The most expensive operation is opening the comment pane to review the commands made in a PDF. Scrolling through the list or selecting a comment almost makes the PDF hang. And of course, reviewing PDF comments is basically the only reason I use Acrobat. Also, please keep in mind that this is after TWO reinstalls of the entire TCS 3.5 suite. At this point, I am thinking about just using Acrobat Reader 9 to review comments, which I find pathetic. I find it unbelievable that adobe would release product with this amount instability. Sincerely, Joseph Lorenzini PS Can someone explain to me why you can't resize the comment pane in Acrobat Pro X? And yes that's more of a rhetorical question. :( ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: master index of multiple book
I concur. In my last job I did exactly that (so engineers could find the doc they needed easily). The uber-book contained over 300 separate docs, and another 400-page big book as a sub-book. When you generate the index, make sure you DO NOT UPDATE ANY NUMBERING, as otherwise everything gets screwed up. To differentiate index entries for the individual docs and the big book, I added a meaningful prefix to the numbering, so the big book entries were H-pageno and the individual doc entries were W-work instruction no. I used normal index markers from the big book and Subject markers from the individual docs, using the otherwise-non-functional Volume number. /Cynthia ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Master pages and templates
Hi Is there any good advice anywhere about master pages and how they relate to templates? I've been working from the help system since I started using Frame a year ago. Apart from a stint on v7.2 I'm pretty much self taught. (I've booked on an intermediate advanced Frame users course but they cancelled the last one because of lack of interest.) My problem is that I seem to have some issues with my master pages, variations in positioning of the header footer etc., and I'd like to retrospectively put them right. I've got a set of main content pages with a header footer plus an inside front cover and an inside rear cover which are slightly different and a front cover that differs again. I've got a template file that contains my formats but that's only got two pages so I'm not sure how that relates to the master pages on each of the different page types. Should I have a template for each of my page types? What I'd like is a step by step guide on to setting up the master pages retrospectively (what I'd really like is for them not to cancel the course again) and then applying them to my document. Any ideas?

RE: how to convert FrameMaker file to SGML format
Clara, That's a pretty tall order! There is not much good news in this situation. Your customer should have specified the deliverable format from the beginning of the project, and provided the SGML template for you to work in. The template specifies all of the tags and elements to be applied to the data within the CMM, which are interpreted by the application that uses the SGML files. If you have not worked with structured documents before, the learning curve is very steep. Your best bet is probably to find a vendor to do the conversion for you, even though the expense will be considerable. We have some customers that specify SGML (and provide their template) but don't seem to use anything but the PDF. You should consult with your customer to find out what they really need.

how to convert FrameMaker file to SGML format
To look at it as though it's something you intend to do... The first question is, what DTD are they using? Is it a standard (DocBook, for example), or is it a DTD they created themselves? Related to that question... Do they need the full DTD to express the structure in your document, or can you use a greatly reduced subset? If they're asking for SGML, then they should already know these things, and they should have a DTD to give you. Second, try using Structured Maker to convert the DTD to an EDD. If the element definitions come through, then you're in pretty good shape. It can happen. If it's a standard, there may already be EDDs out there to map to their DTD. Or heck, maybe they already have an EDD in place! Related, is the issue of formatting. The EDD needs to express formatting... H1 has X point size and indent, H2 has y, etc. This you will probably have to do yourself. Once you have the EDD completed, you import it into a template... This is now your template for the structured document. Next step is mapping your unstructured formatting to the EDD. Maker provides a mapping capability, and unless your document is pushing the envelope, it's entirely possible to set up a map that wraps your paragraphs in structured elements. Or, if this is a one-off, try importing your EDD into your document (backing up your work, of course) and manually wrapping the content in structure elements. At this point you have a structured document. To save it as SGML, you need to create a structured application that brings together your EDD, the DTD, any read/write rules you might need, etc. When all is in place, you should be able to save as SGML. You will need to look at the Structured Application Developer's Guide to get it all to happen. I suppose an alternative could be to save your document as HTML, then conver to XHTML, and then run XSLT to map the HTML to whatever their DTD might require. That can only work if your formatting is simple enough to be fully captured in HTML.___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Joel, I do not understand completely: If you want to write no?l (note the trema on the e), you type ESC : e in FM to get the ?. On french or swiss keyboards most of the required accents (diacritical marks) are available as so called dead keys. See a complete list of these sequences in the attached pdf (which was with FM until version 9). Look into the section "Support for FrameMaker 7.x character set" and scroll to page 12. If you need the diacritical marks themselves, e.g. ^ ~ ` you find most of them in the same table. If my answer is not sufficient, please describe in more detail, what you want to achieve.

Master Pages in Multiple Sizes?
Hi, all! Working in structured Frame 10. Trying to create multiple master pages for our new manual series. I've figured out how to change page sizes and create new master pages in general. One issue: I need to have multiple page sizes within a book. The majority of the book is 5.5" X 8.5", but we want to be able to have 11" X 8.5" pages inserted as well. The production is already taken care of, so not worried about that bit. Is there a way to have all my master pages in various page sizes within one file? Or do I have to create separate files with the different master pages? Thanks!

That means you may have significantly more (and shorter) files in the book, depending on the number and distribution of the larger pages. And some of the new files may start in the middle of a chapter/section, so you'll have to remember to adjust numbering settings appropriately. Richard G.

There was a similar thread in June about page size issues.
