Acrobat moves callouts in anchored frames

[Daniel Salter]

I am working on a FrameMaker 7 (Win 8) document with callouts in anchored 
frames set up so that they can be dragged into precise position alongside text 
in the main flow. 

Seems kind of old school, but it works beautifully for this document -- except 
that Acrobat arbitrarily shifts all the callouts a half inch to the left. 

I am sure there must be a better solution than manually repositioning each 
callout in FM (to a spot where it doesn't belong), and then checking to see if 
it came out OK in the PDF...

Seem to recall encountering and finding a solution to the same issue a few ages 
ago, but haven't been able to recall or dig up the fix anywhere. 

Any hints much appreciated.

Wouldn't it make sense for the focus be on whatever window your cursor is
over, rather than having to click in something. That's the way I remember
UNIX being. (Which took some getting used to, BTW.) But that was a*VERY*
keyboard shortcut friendly OS.

Among the utilities to which Keith Soltys alluded, you might like WizMouse:

MediaWiki and OLH?

[Daniel Salter]

Greetings! 

Am currently engaged in a project to move software documentation from 
FrameMaker to MediaWiki, and imagine some of you have enjoyed similar 
pleasures... I am wondering whether anyone could advise about a method of 
generating online help (formerly webhelp produced using FM and RoboHelp) where 
MediaWiki is the source? 

The challenge is that the help system needs to work without access to the web. 
Would anyone know of a case where an entire wiki instance was shipped with a 
product? 
Your thoughts much appreciated!

MediaWiki to FrameMaker?

[Daniel Salter]

Greetings!

I wonder if anyone could advise on the curiously backward-sounding task of 
exporting content from MediaWiki to (unstructured) FrameMaker?
Any ideas would be most welcome... 

A tool that would coax xml out of Mediawiki seems like a starting place, as I 
believe the rest of the journey could be covered with an XSL transform. Have 
yet to find such a tool, regrettably. 

Perhaps some less klunky conversion process springs to mind?

Many thanks in advance!
