Re: [Framers] Other tools
After leaving Framemaker (which I worked with for about 20 years!), I arrived at a company which publishes everything directly to the web using Document360. But this doesn't do everything I want, so I am looking into different options, to publish to the web, create PDF files if required, as well as make a html 5 help file.

Re: [Framers] Appearance of graphics in the generated PDF
Possibly you don't have to save as html. I can't check this right now, but docx, is itself xml. This is how you can get graphics from a Word docx, by changing extension to zip Text below is from a text from David Creamer to this list a few years ago, but I don't remember where I learnt it There are various tutorials on the web I might suggest a slightly different way of getting the graphics out of a Word file (works for PowerPoint too)... Make sure the file is in the .docx format, not .doc (and .pptx, not .ppt) Make a copy of the file for safety Change the file extension from .docx to .zip Open the zip file Look for the doc folder (or ppt) Look for the media folder All the graphics are there--usually in a higher quality than a web export Give it a try to get your graphics files On Fri, 6 Aug 2021, 01:32 , wrote: > I have an equation-laden document that I am writing.

[Framers] Acrobat DC & Frame etc
Hi. I have Frame 2017 on my system and Acrobat Pro DC, as part of Creative suite. For some reason, IT have decided to remove the Acrobat (and creative suite) 1. Will I still be able to create PDF files, or will they have to reinstall Frame in order to be able to use the built in PDF in Frame? 2. What won't I be able to do to PDF files if I only have the version that comes with Frame? I currently add password protection to files, make numbering of pdf match file numbering, extract pages, edit files. What functionality will I be losing?

Re: [Framers] MiniToc Disappers from HTML5 Help in Frame 2015
My file names are usually with no spaces and no punctuation, from old Mif2Go days, which could not cope with anything like that. It was just the folder name, and such a strange and unconnected problem that resulted. Well, I won't make that mistake again.

[Framers] MiniToc Disappers from HTML5 Help in Frame 2015
This worked last week and does not work now Hello everyone, Hope you are all keeping well and safe, I hit a problem. I had a MiniToc that provided hyperlinks at the beginning of each main topic in the help file. It was fine for the past year, and then something stopped working. Nothing was updated or changed in my system as far as I know. But suddenly, the MiniToc from the Frame doc does not appear in the HTML5 help file. It does have a help condition. In the Frame file when I apply the condition it appears, but it does not appear in the Help file that I create. I cannot find anywhere a definition that says the MiniToc should not appear in the resulting Help file. This all worked very well for the last year, but suddenly does not work well today and I cannot work out what could have changed. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? Or how to solve this?

[Framers] Make numbering of Acrobat match Frame numbers automatically
Hi, My PDF of a user guide made from a FrameMaker book has the front matter numbered with Roman numerals, so the numbers of the PDF do not match those of the Frame file. (Frame p1 is PDF p9). I have found and adjusted instructions to make the numbering match https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/PDF17.html (It is different in the latest version of Acrobat, as these controls seem to be more hidden). But it needs to be done manually each time. Is there any way to automate this, or set these settings in FrameMaker to carry over to Acrobat?

Re: [Framers] [FrameMaker 2019] Customizing responsive HTML5 output: best practices and good documentation?
Hi I wonder whether if you use the glossary, or index functions, then the search would work on these terms. *Reng Winfried * Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 12:28 PM Reply-To: "An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software." < framers@lists.frameusers.com> To: "An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software." < framers@lists.frameusers.com> 5.) "Most of our products have order codes like 123.4567. When I want to search for such order codes, the . is interpreted as separator between two words. As if I want to search for 123 and 4567. I do not know a solution." 6.) In my tests (FM 2019) using "wx.yz" seems to work, but highlighting didn't work - I'll ask the FM development team regarding this issue WR: The issue is: We have many order codes which start e.g. with 125. When I enter "125.xyz" as search string, then _all_ order codes with "125" will be found. However, only 125.xyz should have been found. It does not matter, if I change the option "Enable Substring Search" in the Search settings. Or in the converted HTML5 change "Display results with all search words". The solution user has to enclose the whole text in double quotes. Then this works.

Re: [Framers] Best Method, Word 2013 to Frame 2019.
Frame has import from Word. It actually works. If you have styles in Word, it is really good. You have to save the file as..doc >From Frame file menu Choose import file, as copy Then the first time there is a settings box You need to map Word styles to Frame files and then import. It works well. Once you make a settings file that you are pleased with, save it and reuse it each time. However, it did not cope with my 300 plus page book, so I had to make smaller word files from it. However, for graphics use the tip about docx, right click on your docx fike and choose unzip. You will get a folder of graphics. There are a few good tutorials on the internet for this. It takes quite a while, especially if there are many graphics. I have precise notes in the office, but am not currently there.

[Framers] CSH HTML5 from Frame 2017 How should the Developers call the help pages
I want to create CSH for HTML5 in Frame I have Frame 2017 (no robohelp) I have used the help, as well as the Adobe FrameMaker forum and found all the information about this. I saw how to add the markers, use the h file etc. The one thing is that not clear to me What must I tell the programmers to call so that they get the correct help pages? Someone wrote in one of the threads on the forum that they must use output-path>/index.html?rhcsh=1= = content of corresponding TopicAlias Marker. However, this includes robohelp code Is this correct for someone who is only using Frame? I have searched everywhere but not found the correct info to give the developers. I just need this missing link and we will be ready to go.

This actually reduced the size of the .png files for some reason. I then used Photoshop to reduce the size of these files. Eventually the size of the help package was reduced to 9-10 Mb approx. However, the User guide/project will grow. We are talking about a user guide which has nearly 300 pages, and they are adding components all the time. If you make HTML 5 help file, what is the expected size of the file, and is there any way to make it smaller. How large is a basic project? Does it depend on the Skin (Working without RH).

Re: [Framers] Size of HTML5 Help file - how to reduce
Well, after investigation, some of these files are not so small after all. If I use Snagit, how should I be taking screen caps to get them smallest size, for the future. How can I reduce the size of the current screens?

[Framers] Size of HTML5 Help file - how to reduce
Hi R told me that the HTML 5 help file that I made is too big. It came out as 15 MB Currently I have included the screen captures in the help. I made a new version without most of the screen captures, and it is much smaller. 1. Do you show the screen captures in help files? 2. Are there any settings in the Frame publisher that can themselves compress the graphics used in the help file (instead of removing them all) 3. Can you make screen caps as thumbnails? 4. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and have any insights? -- thanks Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

Re: [Framers] Just Starting w/FM 2019: Interface
Each new release only has info about the features in that specific release. There are a set of on line tutorials about 2019 on the Adobe site. They also deal with changes in the interface, so should probably provide the info you need. However, if you want info about something that changed earlier, you need to find the release videos from the previous releases. I made a very big jump in versions. In the end I found that I had to look at info from each previous release to fully take advantage of some of the new features introduced.

[Framers] Question about documenting code and 2 paragraph formats that should appear in the same row
Hi, I am converting a Word doc with a lot of code to Frame (2017). Some rows of code are numbered and some are indented. Would you make another set of tags for code numbered and indented (different font and type from body) In addition, there are lines or paragraph where I have both code - in the paragraph tag - "code" and regular text which should have the style body, completely mixed in the same line What is the best way to deal with this? To make a new paragraph tag for the body text that is run in? (can this be done) Or make a character tag for the text that should not be in the "code" tag Any other tips for documenting code?

[Framers] Old Title Info being dragged into the HTML 5 files
Hi I think that maybe this problem is slightly connected to the title info mentioned by Lin. I made new user guides based on an old template from an old book. In the Responsive HTML files that I made, the topic names of the Heading 1 is the name of something old that should not appear. This was fixable by making sure the TOC file appeared in the book file used to create the Help. BUT, the name of this old user guide appears as the file name for each Heading 1 HTML topic i.e. I get a whole lot of HTML files. In each folder one file (the H1 file) has the name of something old that should not be there. I opened all of the files by hand and made sure this does not appear in the document info field. I saved some of the files as MIF files and searched for this term, but did not find it. Does anyone have any idea where this problematic info could have come from and how to get rid of it? thanks -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

Rick, thanks for the help. This all worked perfectly. (answering now since I am in a different time zone) Who would have thought that you could use conditions on a Reference page?

[Framers] How to edit MiniTOC as defined on ref page so that only headings will appear in HTML5 Help??
Frame 2017 I have set up my system to create nice HTML 5 help, with the product look and feel. There is one thing I am stuck with, maybe someone has the answer The PDF file has a mini-TOC for most of the chapters It is in the form of <$paranum> <$paratext> on page <$pagenum> I set this up on the reference page In the help file itself, I would like to have this Mini-TOC appear as hyperlinks on each main topic page, but without the variables of the numbering and page numbers. These elements are as I said on the reference page, and not part of the styles (which would be easy to fix if that was the case) Yesterday I thought that using the MiniTOC in the HTMLTemplate was the answer, but when I sort of managed to make it work, I saw that it just gives a list of topics on the same page (Is that correct)? What I am looking for is how to make a MiniTOC from Frame appear in help without the extra variables. Is this possible? Otherwise the solution, would be to have the regular MiniTOC not be displayed in the help file, and either have manual X-refs, or make a different MiniTOC for help files, with conditional text, using a different set of styles?, which would be a little unwieldy, but would work permanently. I would welcome input on this thanks -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

[Framers] Advice on slimming down a guide; customized guides per customer??
Hi, I have converted the very large Word user guide to FrameMaker. I am using Unstructured Frame 2017 This is a guide for a product which has general information about how to use the product at the beginning, and a few chapters with general information at the end. The product is made up of 100 "boxes" which belong to 5 families (I am just calling them boxes for the sake of the example) The FrameMaker book I made uses only chapters, not volumes, there is a chapter for each box family, with information about each of the boxes in that family. Each customer only needs to user 4 or 5 "boxes", so we want to make user guides that are smaller and more focused I have made a book with everything in it, and now I want to show the SME how we can use Frame to make smaller guides. I am wondering about the best way to do this. 1. Make 5 books each with one box family in it, which will contain info about all the boxes in that family as well as the general information. end users will receive the guide with info about the box family, they will have info about 15 boxes even if they only bought one 2. Redo the guide that I did and make the box families to be volumes, and then each box is a chapter. . This means it will be easy to add or remove boxes from the guide, this also means it is possible to customize the guides per customers The company are using heading numbering, so this means redoing all of the heading of all the paragraph styles, which might get complicated 3. Another idea I had was to set the book up as described above, with a chapter for each box family, but to have each box as a text inset, and be able to create user guides per box. Highly customizing this, but means I don't have to mess with the numbering, but maybe this will make life complicated What would you recommend? Are there advantages and disadvantages of each method?

[Framers] Best Practice for Master Page Variables for Appendices?
Hi, I am trying to work out the best way to do this I have a book with chapter files and appendix files. The header uses the following format Chapter 9: Running H/F 1 - when Chapter is a variable with Chapter<$chapnum> Running H/F1 is a variable variable with<$paratext[Heading1]> For the appendix chapters instead of the tag Heading1 I can use a tag called AppHeading1 This works very well for me in the Table of Contents (I want the word Appendix/Chapter to appear as relevant) and is controlled with the reference page. However, in this case I need to use different variables for the headers. So that it will say Appendix A: Writing a book etc (using AppHeading1 instead of Heading1) and the correct variable so it will say Appendix <$chapnum> What is the best practice for all this, and for setting up Master pages.? If I use different variables, either I paste in the different set of variables manually on my regular "Right" master page, or make a special master page called Appendix which must be applied as a custom master page What is the best practice to make everything work well, if you are have a book with appendices and regular chapters Thanks -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
[Framers] Changing Resolution for all imported graphics
Hi I am using Frame 2017 I imported screen captures to the user guide (by reference). They were imported at resolution of 96% Now we want to change the resolution to 150% 1. Is there any way to automate this? 2. Can Object Properties be used for this? The object properties seemed to also fix definite dimensions as well as resolution, so did not seem suitable; can this be overcome? thanks -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

Do you use the default PDF Job Options? I make PDFs that are primarily distributed as files. People print if needed. Do you use the "Standard" Job options that come with Frame for this?

[Framers] Print settings for colors is inconsistent
Hi, when I update a book, or try to print it, I receive a message that the print settings for all sorts of colors is inconsistent. This occurs both with Frame 2017 and when I opened the files in Frame 2019. I tried a few times to open one file and then do import formats/color definitions from that file to all other files in the book so they would have the same settings, but I still receive this message. Are there any ideas about how to resolve this issue? I did not create these colors myself, and we do not use them in particular. -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com

[Framers] Import graphics by reference or by copying
Hi everyone I have a question. As mentioned I am working on converting files from Word to Frame How important to you think it is to import graphic files by reference and not by copying. The graphics all came into the file from Word. I am erasing them and inserting my files by reference. I have 2 sets of graphic files, one set are from the company SW, which is likely to change often and need to be imported by reference, so that i can make the changes easily. The other set areof various activities performed from time to time using Windows utilities or other 3rd party, which are not likely to change. Importing by reference makes it very easy to deal with GUI that changes, makes the files smaller and open faster, will it cause any problems to leave some of the graphics in group 2 as files copied rather than referenced?? Thanks by the way, received the link and details about downloading Frame 2019 over the weekend. -- Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer e-mail: caroline.tab...@gmail.com ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
