OT--PDF Read Out Loud problem
Last July, I posted this question to the Acrobat Community and got nowhere. So I'm asking here in hope that I can find someone who has had this problem and was able to fix it. I'm using Acrobat XI Pro (fully updated to 11.0.05) on Windows7 (fully patched). When I try to use the Read Out Loud feature on a PDF, Acrobat shuts down. I am able to turn on (activate) the Read Out Loud feature, but when I select Read to End of Page or Read This Document, Acrobat crashes. PDFs are version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). They were created in Acrobat Distiller 11 using the default Press job option settings. The documents are 100% accessible and are fully tagged. I have been unable to use Read Out Loud since I upgraded from Acrobat 9 Pro last January. I've read dozens of articles on "how to prepare your PDFs for accessibility" but this PDF is straight text--no tables, captions, etc. Just text. No complicated reading order. So for the life of me I can't figure out what to do to get the thing to read to me. I never had a problem before Acrobat 11 and I've never had to "do" anything to prepare the PDF. Help!

DITA conversion and cross-ref IDs
Hi everyone Thanks for the answers! I'm feeling slightly embarrassed to admit that I'd forgotten MIF2Go did DITA. I've chucked it in the engineer's direction. Cheers Rebecca >>> "Jeremy H.

We spent quite a few engineer-years working with DITA TC members on many large conversion projects (including IBM's) to get it right. And to make it as easy as possible. This has actually become the second-biggest use case for Mif2Go (the biggest is still conversion to Word). Save yourself a BIG bundle of time and money, and use it. -- Jeremy H.

Frame 11 (UNstructured Features)
Hi Lin, No. Kapil Verma did not mention specific bugs. Only that a large number of bugs was fixed. Maybe you ask him yourself.

I do not know when it will come out, but it might be worth waiting a few months. Featues for FrameMaker 12 which I remember: Native export to epub, HTML 5 Much improved export to PDF for proofreading and import of comments Grep for search and replace Lots of fixed bugs Improved assignment of conditional formats Editor for show/hide expresssions with brackets FM server to publish PDF as web service Two FrameMaker variants: FM Full (as we know it)/XML Author (only for XML authoring) MathML support Best regards Winfried From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com> [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com>] On Behalf Of Craig, Alison Sent: Friday, December 06, 2013 8:16 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers at lists.frameusers.com> Subject: Frame 11 (UNstructured Features) Sometime last year when Frame 11 came out, there were any number of e-mails that dealt with (or had links to) what was new in the product. We are currently looking at whether to move our tech doc team from Frame 9 to Frame 11 - given that when Frame 12 comes out, we'd have to buy completely new copies rather than go the update route. I've looked in my archive and can't find the threads that discussed this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Note that I am interested in details regarding unstructured Frame. I also realize that there are any number of changes from Frame 10 that may be useful to us as well.
