Access - Frame - pdf. Help with a (fun) project, maybe?
Hi Framers, I have an Access database which holds records for a crime fiction story, collaboratively written by a number of authors. On a repeating basis, I need to publish this story in a form which I can then attach to a website so that readers (and the collaborating authors) can see how the story is doing. Originally I posted each author as webpage using basic html, unremarkably named Chapter X, but now I’m moving the story around, so I would like to maintain the story in only one place, i.e. in the Access database. I am unable to use any of Access’ tools for exporting to XML or Text or Excel and import into either Word or Frame. (They all fail). I am able to export directly from an Access report to a pdf but this has the disadvantage that I manually have to add Bookmarks, etc., so I am thinking of getting the data into Frame and then using MicroType’s Frame-to-Acrobat tools. The story itself is in BookComponent.StoryText. The order of the BookComponents is goverened by BookComponent.Sortnum. Any advice? Thanks, Theresa P.S. In case you happen to like crime fiction, we’ve got some great (and famous) authors, so please visit our story: http://www.reviewsbytdev.com/content/Whos-Murdering-Crime-Fiction ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Page Count and Numbering Properties Not Working?
I have had a similar problem from time to time with FM10. I have found that after setting each chapter that forcing a book update seems to grind through and make things work. It also identifies some other errors that have to be fixed before continuing. Bill Monument Satellite Systems, Inc. William W. Saylor, PE(v) 719 481-0433 20075 Promontory Way (mob) 719 373-3770 Monument, CO 80132 wsay...@earthlink.net From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Karen Robbins Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 4:07 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Page Count and Numbering Properties Not Working? From time to time, files whose pagination was set to Delete Empty Pages have inexplicably changed to Make Page Count Even, resulting in an extra blank page at the end of any file with an odd number of pages. This hasn't happened in a long time--maybe not since I installed FM11--but it reared its ugly head again today. Also, changing the Numbering Properties setting to Continue Numbering from Previous Page in Book doesn't work at all. Not only doesn't the book renumber on update (despite an alert telling me that book numbers and document numbers don't agree so Frame is going to use book numbers--at least that's what I think it means), but on next view the radio button for this option is deselected and the one for manual page number entry is re-selected. (Yes, I'm certain I selected the right radio button, clicked Set, and saved each file before this happened.) Seems odd that pagination is not behaving on two counts at the same time. Thanks for any help. --Karen ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: Unavailable font in BOOK file (not in book's files) (Mark Lehmann)
Hi Mark, How're things? All normal, except for the crash when trying to save as .mif. To answer your questions: - Yes, you should be easily able to save as .mif. That is rarely a problem. Feel free to e-mail it to me without graphics if you like. - Remember Missing Font Names is installation wide. Opening, clicking OK to reformat with available fonts and then saving FM files with Remember Missing Font Names OFF means that the substitutions are permanent in the files saved. If the font becomes available (either by installation or by file transfer to a system with the font available), those files will not use the file, but the font substituted (if available :-). - Information in Book file During book updates, the book file itself is updated with details from the files. This includes tags (paragraph, font, conditional text, colo(u)r view settings and definitions, and a whole lot more. Don't hesitate to contact me directly - I enjoy a challenge.

(Then when I then open the book file's files, they all open cleanly.) [FM10, Win7 SP3] Any ideas about how to fix this (apart from creating a new book file)? I've tried saving the book file as a MIF, but FrameMaker crashes when I click the Save button. Also: ? Should I be able to save a book file as a MIF (so that I can rummage around in it)? ? Is Remember Missing Font Names specific to the individual file, or to the FM installation? (I need to distribute this book file.) ? I thought only Numbering and Pagination information was saved in a book file; now it seems that font information is in there as well. What else is saved in a book file?

I bought Framemaker 10 with a download - no CD - how do I reinstall with "no" CD
I have all the information from purchase. Or, how do I buy a CD now? I will have to rebuild my computer to get rid of a problem. Thanks Dave Jacobi -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/attachments/20130526/aee140c2/attachment.html>
Access -> Frame -> pdf. Help with a (fun) project, maybe?
We seem to have succeeded, er, partly. Is it possible for Frame to import a HTML document? (The import function doesn't give that choice). If I drag and drop the document onto Firefox, the html opens. Then I can copy and paste into Frame. Seems a bit cumbersome. Thanks.
