RE: Generating web pages out of FM
Hi, I also recommend to test the trial version yourself. I installed it in a virtual machine so that nothing else will be affected. When I tested the conversion to HTML Help briefly with the default settings, it worked very well! Very fast. Very convenient! Seamless, no issues. Many options to configure your conversion. However, that’s for our documentation. I do not know how yours look like. Mif2Go has some options which FrameMaker 12 does not offer and vice versa. They are different. If you miss anything in FrameMaker 12, then check out Mif2Go, I will continue using Mif2Go, mainly because I do not want to configure the FrameMaker conversion.

RE: Reworking legacy FrameMaker graphics
But you wouldn't be editing screen shots, would you? For extracting whole graphics like those, it might be better to do a saveAs HTML and then use the graphics from the images directory. Also, MIF2Go can export to FM to rtf, which allows you to save from Word to HTML. From there you can use the PNG generated in the HTML directory graphics folder. For editing the graphics, this might be slightly helpful in that you could then just PDF the graphic(s) needed from that directory rather than navigating through the FM document to find them.

Blank pages
I have all of my books set for single-sided with Delete Empty Pages. Lately extra blank pages are showing on many documents even after I save (which almost always clears out empty pages) or select Remove Overrides when going from master view to page view (another reliable way for deleting extra pages). But they still remain, and I can only get rid of them manually. I use Frame 10 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system. Today I worked on a 100 page file where the document shrank considerably to about 50 pages. And again, even after saving and generating the book, the extra pages still remained. These pages show after the end of the section mark. What could be causing this? Pam ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: Conditional build expressions?
Scott, The parenthesis support in conditional build expressions is added in FM 12. Below is some more content about Conditional Text from the FM 12 What's New. Hope this helps. Regards, Gyanesh Conditional Tags pod The new Conditional Tags pod makes it easier for you to create and manage conditional text settings by providing an improved and unified interface. You can conveniently create, edit, and delete conditional tags, apply and show/hide conditional tags, and search for various attributes (for example, tag name, styles, or color). See the video: Conditional Tags Podhttp://www.adobe.com/go/learn_fm12_conditionaltextpod_en . For more information, see Conditional Tags podhttp://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS2CD82D77-9A48-441b-A3E0-E652D9DAD24B.html , States of conditional tagshttp://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS9e6b3bea246b852026d9bd02142a2d35781-8000.html, and Automatic validation and visual cues in the conditional expressionshttp://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS9e6b584b121581dd-341711cc1429f4588a0-8000.html . Building complex conditional expressions with parenthesis support and UI guides FrameMaker now allows you to use parentheses in Boolean condition expressions. This makes it easy to create complex conditional expressions. FrameMaker also automatically validates the conditional expressions as you are building them. The Expression Builder UI highlights errors and provides you visual cues to identify the various relevant parts, such as conditional tag names and operators, in the build expressions. See the video: Simplified Conditional Expressionshttp://www.adobe.com/go/learn_fm12_simplifiedconditionalexpression_en .

RE: I am still hunting for HunSpell dictionaries in FrameMaker11...
Have you checked out Arnis' post - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5802799#5802799 From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Simon BUCH Sent: March-12-14 1:01 PM To: 'Framers' Subject: I am still hunting for HunSpell dictionaries in FrameMaker11... Dear Framers, I am on the hunt for learning how to integrate HunSpell dictionaries into FrameMaker 11, for languages such as Icelandic. According to the FrameMaker 11 Upgrade Guide: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/framemaker/pdf/FRAMEMAKER11_UPGRADE_GUIDE.PDF Hunspell dictionary is available, as is Configurable dictionary support. I guess these features mean that Adobe provides the dictionaries, and you can select whether you want to want to use the HunSpell, or the Proximity version dictionaries. I took a look at the InDesign help page: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html and so I created my is_IS folder in: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Linguistics\6.2\Providers\Plugins2\AdobeHunspellPlugin\Dictionaries\ and in which I copied my is_IS.aff and is_IS.dic files. I then added the stringis_IS/string text into the Spelling Service section of the Info.plist file. Is there anything I'm missing? or ...

Re: FM 12 + RH 11
What are you using now? An earlier version of FrameMaker? FM12 basically has most of RoboHelp folded in so you get two for one. To see what you'd lose with only RoboHelp, generate a PDF from RoboHelp and compare it with one saved from FrameMaker. Note that FrameMaker can save PDF with change markup. You can get free 30-day evaluations so you'd know exactly what you were buying.

RE: Blank pages
And note that the Next Available option can only be chosen when you are setting pagination from the *book file* window. FrameMaker keeps separate file-level pagination properties in each component file and book-level pagination properties in each book file that use the components. Next Available has no meaning in the single file context (because there is no preceding file), so it's not available in the menu. Another possible cause of Pam's problem is that pages that have no visible content may not be truly empty from FrameMaker's perspective. For example, any page that has had a specific non-default master page applied is *not empty* because it contains a master page specification as a property. Manually placed frames can also cause problems even if they are empty of any content because they still exist as objects on the page. -Fred Ridder From: craig...@hotmail.com To: phar...@bailiwick.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Blank pages Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 09:12:24 -0500 Make sure your pagination setting select Next Available Page rather than Read From File.

Re: Reworking legacy FrameMaker graphics
I have done that many times. The vectors and splines created are sometimes a bit poorly connected but in general, they follow the correct structure for postscript output. I have also used this approach on a number of projects to fix MS Word drawings. That is those that have been made using Word's drawing tools. So, PDF it then open the page in Illustrator, delete all the rubbish and fix up the bits that need it.

RE: Having problems with importing an EPS file into FrameMaker ...
Hi, Craig. Yup, I agree with your observation, and do understand the oft-stated requirement to use PDF output and then print from it. :) It is just that I was not expecting the poor quality when I printed directly from FrameMaker to the printer I had access to at the time (I was at home) to see what the logo looked like. I had assumed that the EPS would be rasterized (at the resolution of the specified print quality) when printing to a non-PostScript printer. Like other programs do with vector images (Visio and Autocad are examples, but there are plenty of others), including how native drawing objects within FrameMaker are output. Although I have many years of experience using FrameMaker, this was the first time I included an EPS image into a document - normally, I just use FrameMaker's graphics tools, Visio graphics, and/or bit-map PNG files (for things like logos), etc. Learning experience for me, I guess ...

I was advised to add the following line of code to the maker.ini file: [UnknownToKnownFontMap] Zapfdingbats, *,*= ITC Zapf Dingbats Std,*,* After making this change, when I imported an xml file, the FrameMaker Console box is displaying the following message: The Zapfdingbats Font Family is not available.

As long as you're evaluating alternatives, you should check out WebWorks ePublisher. It can use Word, FrameMaker, and/or DITA as source and the output.

Elkins; fram...@omsys.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: need referrals for localization companies Depending on whether or not you want a North American-based translation bureau, I can recommend ADT International out of France (http://www.adt-international.com/). We used them for 7+ years. We only switched when my company was purchased and a sister company in Denmark began handling our translation through their translation bureau in Greece.
