ANN: Last Call! TC Camp is tomorrow at Mission College in Santa Clara, CA!
*Camp is better when you bring a friend! Tell your network that you're coming!* TC Camp, the unconference for content creators, consumers, and the people who support them, is happening at Mission College in Santa Clara on Saturday, January 24, 2015. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, this is happening right in your own backyard, *why wouldn't you attend?* And, *raffle prizes?* Yes! Read to the bottom to learn about all the great stuff that you could win! I don't know if you've been to an unconference before, but they are very different from regular conferences. They are not juried. Sessions aren't presenter-decided topics. It's much more fluid and much more audience decided. All session topics are decided by the attendees on the day of the event. Everyone nominates topics; we vote on them together; and then, those sessions with enough votes get scheduled into the agenda. You can guarantee there is always a session happening that you're interested in. Unconferences are all hallway - like the hallway conversations you have between session at regular conferences. At an Unconference, you get the chance to work with other people to really wrap your arms around a topic and figure it out as it applies directly to you. The main unconference (afternoon) is *FREE*, and we will kick things off with a Campers' Feud game show (you'll have to come to learn what that is!). If you're interested, there are morning workshops that cost a modest $35 (20% off with the *GOTOCAMP* code). There are four morning workshops to choose from that will help get the creative juices flowing: *Creating a Documentation Portal* - Learn how Salesforce created portals for delivering documentation to end users. Along the way, discuss design practices, customer interactions, and learn how to use the open source version of our portal to deliver your content on the web. *Jump Start Your Mobile Project* - Get your mobile project off to a good start by developing quick, low-fidelity mockups of mobile content. This helps you demonstrate how you’ll meet mobile user requirements and lets you incorporate feedback early in the project. *API documentation in changing environments with expanding/new technologies* - Learn the basics of REST API documentation, see sample REST API doc sites, and learn how to create interactive documentation. Additionally, learn how to document Java APIs using Javadoc and Doxygen. *Adobe - Beyond Paper: Publishing enriched content to online formats via Adobe Tech Comm Suite 5**.* Discover how FrameMaker empowers you to maintain one set of source files and publish content with interactive 3D diagrams to intelligent PDF. Find out how you can master Adobe Captivate in just a few hours to create compelling video. Adobe's workshop is FREE! It's an amazing experience - energetic, dynamic, and all about the attendees learning from each other. I mentioned raffle prizes? Adobe is giving away a *TCS5 license*, JustSystems has *2 iPad Airs*, and Single Sourcing Solutions has a *Drone* for some lucky attendee! Other sponsors have provided *great books and gift certificates*, plus the popular *S'Mores Maker*! All of these will be raffled off to attendees who have opted to share their info with the sponsors (remember, TC Camp is all about sharing!). If you declined the sharing option when you registered, you'll have the option to change your mind when you check in. For more information about this year's event, the detail page is here: http://www.tccamp.org/2014/10/tc-camp-saturday-24-january-2015/ Parking is FREE and the doors open at 8am! *I hope that we'll see you there!* ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Cannot import graphics
Another note about file types: If you are using EPS files that DO NOT have embedded TIFF 'previews', then there's nothing for FrameMaker to show (IIRC; and if that hasn't been changed post-FM8). HTH; David Original Message From: David Spreadbury dspre...@yahoo.comDate: Thu, January 22, 2015 11:48 am ... Could this be related to the graphic format? I know that a vector graphic would require more resources than a bit-mapped graphic. If you are loading vector graphics, i.e., .eps, you might just be seeing a lag during the import. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: Cannot import graphics
What type of graphics? Have you checked your ownership / permissions of the graphics files? ___ Try saving the file to .mif to clean it up in case stray characters have corrupted it.

The anchor for the imported file appears, but the graphic does not. I discovered this in a production file. The file is locked up so hard that I have to use Task Manager to force out. I have replicated this numerous times in both the production file and in new files freshly made from templates. I _can_ import files as text insets without problem, but _once_, I deleted the text inset, and the file locked up as it has with graphics. Conversely, if I use Windows Explorer to copy the graphic file or the text inset file and then paste it into the FrameMaker file, both the anchor and the graphic or the icon for the .fm file appear. A fellow employee running version 12.0.2.389 had no problem importing a graphic from a network drive via VPN. I've already reported this to the corporate service desk, but I've noticed no mentions on this list of such problems. ¿Any thoughts?

Restart page number with 1 multiple times in a file
Is it possible to restart with number 1 multiple times in a single file. Each page number uses the chapter number as a prefix, but there are 500 chapters contained within 20 FM files. We would rather not use individual chapters and using a marker for the page numbers is annoying. Thanks for any input you can provide. MSWord and WordPerfect have had this feature for decades.

Speaking of pages....
I've got an HTML page that I need to render onto a large PDF page. I just installed Acrobat Pro 11 because I got an OS refresh yesterday. In 10, I recall that I had some trouble trying to print from Chrome or IE, but if I used Firefox, I had good results. I would use the Acrobat print settings to change the page orientation to landscape, tabloid and then tweak the scaling until I got all of the content onto a single page. Tonight, no matter what scaling number I choose, I get a fit to page width scaling. I've tried running the % down to 10 and I still get a two page output just like when I specify 75 or 100%. I know I'm missing something, but I'm not asking for fit to page, I'm asking for scaling. Any ideas?

Re: Restart page number with 1 multiple times in a file
Stop using the $chapnum variable and just set n=1 wherever you want to restart.

RE: framers Digest, Vol 111, Issue 20
Denis, I suffer this too (and have many times over the years). The graphics in my case are on a network drive, But I suspect that the corporate anti-virus scanner that is installed on my machine exacerbates the problem. It can be a real productivity killer. Unfortunately the IT departments seldom want to let you disable the anti-virus as you might get a virus and that could cost the company $$$ in lost productivity. :) David Message: 4 Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 09:43:16 + From: Denis Daly d.d...@icpnewtech.com To: framers@lists.frameusers.com framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Scrolling pages issue Message-ID: db4pr01mb0654036617bb9d6569d4f2dcf3...@db4pr01mb0654.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Good morning, I wonder if anyone else is experience a similar issue?

FrameMaker locks up
2015-01-23-05T15:30Z Windows 7 Enterprise operating system Serviced pack 1 8.0 GB RAM 64-bit FrameMaker 12.0.3.424 unstructured Local administrator privileges Shortcut to FrameMaker encoded to run as administrator Yesterday, I posted about this problem under the subject, Cannot import graphics. Today, I experienced the lockup while using the Paragraph Designer pod (which I guess is the term) when the pod is part of a tab group (which I again guess is the term). In my layout of FrameMaker, I customarily have the tab group of the Character Catalog, Find/Change, Hypertext, Marker, and Paragraph Designer pods displayed in a tab group. Today, I had copied examples of two paragraph tags from a template and had pasted the examples into my production file. I had applied one of the newly-added paragraph tags where I wanted it. Then, in the tab group, on the Paragraph Designer pod, I chose the Apply button. It was then that I heard the ding that indicates that FrameMaker is locked up hard and that I'll have to use Task Manger to force it out of the system. My installation of FrameMaker was updated to the current version only a week or so ago. Because I have seen no other postings about this problem, I wonder whether there's a conflict between the latest update and my employer's security software that causes the problem. Although I've already reported this to the corporate service desk, I've had no response to that report. The contributors to this are my best source of help in such situations. ¿Any thoughts?

Re: FrameMaker locks up
Dave,If you think it could be your security software, or even your anti-virus software, have you tried disabling either, or both, and running Frame?Usually a reboot with quickly re-enable either settings.Since I am running the same version of FM12, with various pods hanging and numerous graphics, and don't see any of these problems, it sounds like either a system issue or something went wrong during the FM12 install.I would try disabling the security software and/or virus scanner first. If that doesn't work, then a re-install of FM12.
