RE: Scrolling pages issue
Au contraire. I don't believe the performance issues have anything to with either the JPEG image format or color rendering. I've been suffering with the same symptoms for eons and the only image formats I am linking to are either grayscale PDFs or grayscale TIFFs. If possible, we avoid using the JPEG format entirely for print production. I have tried LZW vs. non-LZW compression on TIFF images, but that does not appear to have an impact. One thing I have not done is to test whether embedding vs. linking improves the page-to-page rendering performance. Of course, embedding all images is NOT a viable solution. -Dan From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2015 3:53 AM To: d.d...@icpnewtech.com Cc: Framers; Vikram Verma Subject: Re: Scrolling pages issue Hi Dave, this is a 'well known' FrameMaker issue.

Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review
Acrobat X doesn't support using a web-based email for sending Shared Review invitations.

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: Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review
Hi Lin, if Acrobat does not recognize the email client (like when a web-based email is used), you cannot send the file specially prepared for the review, which means that you cannot use the email review process at all (as far as I understand it). You would not be able to store your PDF file in the specific format that is necessary for the workflow; e.g. to collect all comments in one final version at the end of one review cycle, Acrobat has to recognize the files as original or commented versions of one review process. (...I guess.) There are two other options for a workflow which is not email-based but server-based: 1) A server-path is available for all reviewers (could be WebDAV) 2) acrobat.com could be used as a server (Adobe ID required for setup) In both cases the reviewers would either work with the server copy, or work with local copies, where each comment is automatically transfered to the server copy. This way, all comments are visible immediately for all reviewers and can also be answered, which can be very useful (connection to server-path/internet must be available to publish the comments). This way, the comments do not have to be re-imported into the original version from all the different commented files. Best regards - Tino H. Haida.

RE: Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review
I don't think that's entirely true, Tino. You can still do a email-based PDF review with an unsupported mail system, but it's not automatic and it probably won't be integrated back to the FrameMaker source (I don't know about this last because I've never tried it). The process involves exporting the comments from the PDF that each reviewer sends and then importing those comments into the master review PDF. Look in the Options menu for the Comments List section of the Comments tool palette (or whatevertheheck Adobe calls it...) for the Export All as Data File and Import Data File commands. Not ideal, but it works, particularly if you keep the master file up to date and in a shared location, and all the reviewers are good about grabbing the latest copy of the master file before starting to add their own comments. -Fred Ridder Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 21:50:17 +0100 From: i...@heiko-haida.de To: ljsims...@gmail.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review Hi Lin, if Acrobat does not recognize the email client (like when a web-based email is used), you cannot send the file specially prepared for the review, which means that you cannot use the email review process at all (as far as I understand it).

FM Crashes after generating html
I am using FM10 10.0.2.419 fully patched, as part of TCS, on Windows 7, over a remote desktop connection to the PC where FM is loaded. The FM files are contained on a server which is possibly somewhere else again. I am doing a 'Save book as htm' operation, I have edited the BookHtml and BookHeading mapping tables in the first file in the book as per the manual, and got it all set up so it looks right. It is set to generate separate files at each chapter and Heading1. The operation goes right through the process, takes about 3 minutes, generates 170 html files. Then FM crashes with a message that is essentially 'FM crashed'. I've looked for the log files in AppData/Roaming in my user profile, and there is nothing for today's date - several log files for various previous hangs and crashes, but nothing relating to dates I've created html files and crashed. The html files all work well, I've been deleting the FM lock files en masse rather than opening FM and reset lock for each file. Any suggestions appreciated on how to stop FM crashing at end of html process.

RE: FrameMaker becomes unresponsive while running the script for the 2nd time
Hi Bhavna,
For this script I am not having any error while saving the book after first run
or running the script for second time.
Is this problem occurring for new book file also or just specific to a
particular book file?
If possible can you share the file with us?
I am attaching a bit modified script to make it work on my side. Please see if
this is correct.

RE: Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review
Hi Fred, I was also thinking of the fact that Acrobat will use a PDF file with some modifications, like the comment function readied for Adobe Reader, not the original file. (This is a useful service and you would have to keep this in mind if your doing it without Acrobat.) But you are right, of course it is possible to share the file and start a review-cycle the old-fashioned way, only -- probably -- this will not be so effortless. To me, the server-based workflow seems to be better suited for a quick and efficient review than the email-based workflow. Best regards - Tino H.

RE: Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review
When you do a server-based shared review, each reviewer's comments are actually stored separate from the review PDF, in separate XML files that are somehow linked to the PDF document. That’s why you can have multiple reviewers reviewing and marking up the document at the same time. If you use the option to save an archive copy of the file, the comments existing at the moment are all flattened into the PDF file that is saved, as regular PDF-based comments and markup. Not sure how that's handled with email-distributed review copies going to reviewers who don't have access to the server where all the XML files are stored. -- garyZ From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Heiko Haida Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 2:25 PM To: Fred Ridder Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review Hi Fred, I was also thinking of the fact that Acrobat will use a PDF file with some modifications, like the comment function readied for Adobe Reader, not the original file. (This is a useful service and you would have to keep this in mind if your doing it without Acrobat.) But you are right, of course it is possible to share the file and start a review-cycle the old-fashioned way, only -- probably -- this will not be so effortless. To me, the server-based workflow seems to be better suited for a quick and efficient review than the email-based workflow. Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin Fred Ridder: I don't think that's entirely true, Tino. You can still do a email-based PDF review with an unsupported mail system, but it's not automatic and it probably won't be integrated back to the FrameMaker source (I don't know about this last because I've never tried it). The process involves exporting the comments from the PDF that each reviewer sends and then importing those comments into the master review PDF. Look in the Options menu for the Comments List section of the Comments tool palette (or whatevertheheck Adobe calls it...) for the Export All as Data File and Import Data File commands. Not ideal, but it works, particularly if you keep the master file up to date and in a shared location, and all the reviewers are good about grabbing the latest copy of the master file before starting to add their own comments. -Fred Ridder Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 21:50:17 +0100 From: i...@heiko-haida.demailto:i...@heiko-haida.de To: ljsims...@gmail.commailto:ljsims...@gmail.com; framers@lists.frameusers.commailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Acrobat X: Manually sending a Shared Review Hi Lin, if Acrobat does not recognize the email client (like when a web-based email is used), you cannot send the file specially prepared for the review, which means that you cannot use the email review process at all (as far as I understand it). You would not be able to store your PDF file in the specific format that is necessary for the workflow; e.g. to collect all comments in one final version at the end of one review cycle, Acrobat has to recognize the files as original or commented versions of one review process. (...I guess.) There are two other options for a workflow which is not email-based but server-based: 1) A server-path is available for all reviewers (could be WebDAV) 2) acrobat.com could be used as a server (Adobe ID required for setup) In both cases the reviewers would either work with the server copy, or work with local copies, where each comment is automatically transfered to the server copy. This way, all comments are visible immediately for all reviewers and can also be answered, which can be very useful (connection to server-path/internet must be available to publish the comments). This way, the comments do not have to be re-imported into the original version from all the different commented files. Best regards - Tino H. Haida. Berlin Lin Sims: Acrobat X doesn't support using a web-based email for sending Shared Review invitations. It does let you manually send invitations, but I've not been able to find actual instructions for how to do that. The situation is complicated by the fact that I am using WebDAV and a cloud storage service for collecting the review comments. I'm assuming that what you do is attach the review file to an email and send it on with whatever information is required, but you know what they say about assumptions. I'm also wondering what, if anything, will happen if a reviewer tried to open the folder Acrobat creates for storing comments on the cloud server. -- Lin Sims ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
