Re: Helping FM find graphics files

I agree with Richard. Graphics could be in different folders depending on how 
they are referenced. There could be sub-folders too.

It seems to me that for each translation language, you should be getting back a 
mirror image of your source-language folder structure. 

I just re-read your original post. When you said regarding the FM files that I 
plunk them into my FM folder, you didn't mean into the same folder holding 
your source-language FM files, did you? 

There should be a separate set of files and folders for each language, all with 
the same directory structure. The translation vendor shouldn't change the 
directory structure for the localized files -- but if it does, it must update 
the graphic file references. In that case, nothing is broken as long as you get 
back the entire structure, including the referenced graphics directories, not 
just the FM files.

will not be released with the upcoming release (it will still be in

Re: FrameMaker's 25th Anniversary

[Neeraj Jain]

Yes, this is undoubtedly an excellent article. I began my Framemaker journey 
with 7.0 release, about five years back. Everyone around me used to say that 
Framemaker has got steep learning curve. I was kind of scared when I opened it 
for first time. I could only type and was not able to do any of the things that 
I regularly do in Microsoft Word. I remember cursing myself and Framemaker for 
its complex interface.
Later, I stumbled upon an excellent tutorial. This tutorial taught me 
everything. Now, I have FM 8.0 on my system. I really enjoy working in 
Framemaker although things are much faster in Microsoft Word. What i 
particularly like is its consistent behavior and Books feature.

FrameMaker's 25th Anniversary

[Neeraj Jain]

Yes, this is?undoubtedly an excellent article. I began my Framemaker journey 
with 7.0 release, about five years back. Everyone around me?used to say that 
Framemaker has got steep learning curve. I was kind of scared when I opened it 
for first time. I could only type and was not able to do any of the things that 
I regularly do in Microsoft Word. I remember cursing myself and Framemaker for 
its complex interface.
Later, I stumbled?upon an excellent tutorial. This tutorial taught me 
everything. Now, I have FM 8.0 on my system. I really enjoy working in 
Framemaker although things are much faster in Microsoft Word. What i 
particularly like is its consistent behavior and Books feature.

Re: Issue while importing FM 7.1 mif file in RoboHelp 8

Thanks everyone!

Richard got it right on the spot. The problem was in the path. The path 
contained apostrophe. Now I have moved all the files to a separate folder.

You're more likely to get some help if you tell us the exactly what the error

Re: PDF Distribution: Packaging with Product versus Internet Access

Pat,

This seems to be a very good move by your client. I definitely feel that the 
audience would prefer to read online documents rather than flipping pages of 
the 
printed manual.

If the buyer requests it, it will be provided. Cool!

 Hi -
 
 One of my clients is moving to a model where they will
 provide a printed manual if the buyer requests it. The
 manual will be free to the buyer. Otherwise, everything will
 be distributed online. I don't know that they want to go
 public with this so can't provide the company name.

  Hi all,
  
  I publish hundreds of pages of documentation using
 FrameMaker. I also use
  Robohelp to generate help systems.
  
  Does anyone know of IT companies that ONLY distribute
 documents about their
  products via the internet and are NO longer
 distributing documentation by
  installing it with the product? Off the top of my
 head, I believe Microsoft
  and Adobe do this with some of their products.
  
  For a variety of reasons, I am considering moving away
 from bundling
  documents with the software's installation package and
 instead only
  distributing the docs via a internet portal. If I did
 this, I would no
  longer be at the mercy of the engineering team's agile
 development life
  cycle.  This means I would 1) have significantly
 more time to document
  features 2) the code is frozen so features will always
 be completed by the
  time I start documenting them and out of date
 screenshots would be a thing
  of the past and 3) SMEs would have more time to review
 my documents.
  
  However, to make this sell to project management, I
 need some evidence that
  other IT companies are ONLY distributing documents via
 the internet and are
  NO longer distributing documentation by installing it
 with the product.

Acrobat 9 - a disaster

[Neeraj Jain]

Dov,

Acrobat and Reader doesn't mean that such installations are recommended
or really useful.

What about listing the above as Caution, Important, or things to avoid on the 
software downloads site?

What you are saying, is that reflected in Adobe documentation?

Steve,

Read the original thread. I am not going to repeat everything (and
it was quite a lot) that was discussed on this forum a few weeks ago,
especially related to engineering and testing discipline as far as
how PDF files are viewed and processed under what circumstances.

But NO, there is nothing WRITTEN about this from Adobe. On the other
hand, you should trust what I am telling you based on my 21 years at
Adobe and my working with Acrobat and Reader since Release 1 of same
as well as having to debug workflows and PDF files during all that time.

Quite frankly, the only time I had problems with anyone viewing a PDF
file that I produced on Acrobat-only systems (no Reader co-installed)
were with users who insisted on using St. Steve the Infallible's MacOS
Preview program's subset PDF viewing capabilities (or lack thereof).

The fact that Adobe doesn't prohibit you from parallel installation of
Acrobat and Reader doesn't mean that such installations are recommended
or really useful.

 As of 2:30 pm Tuesday my heart is broken. I had to put Sebastian to sleep.

 to the vet and they started him on antibiotics since his kidneys looked like
 they were starting to fail. Tuesday he was worse and could not hold his head
 up or walk at all. 
  
 He has been my love, protector, and friend. I will miss him so much as will

Re: type vs enter

John,

Type should be associated only with typewriter. A typewriter (assuming a manual 
one) does not store anything. It just types on paper.

In case of computer, saying type would be obsolete because you enter data in 
computer memory and a computer user is more familiar with the word enter.

Were you writing XYZ in bold?

So enter seems to be the term of choice.

Use VXX Web to get access to the system:

1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the address bar of the web browser, enter the IP address of the
system,
   for example, http://10.11.12.13, to go to VXX Web. If Security Mode is

  https://10.11.12.13. Click Yes in the security dialog boxes that show.
3. Enter admin as the user name, and enter the remote access password, if

Step 2 (below) specifically says "...enter the IP address of the system..."
which sounds to me like they want you to type it in. Step 3 is more of the
same.

So "enter" seems to be the term of choice.

Use VXX Web to get access to the system:

1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the address bar of the web browser, enter the IP address of the
system,
   for example, http://10.11.12.13, to go to VXX Web. If Security Mode is 
   enabled on the system, you must use "secure HTTPS access", for example, 
  https://10.11.12.13. Click Yes in the security dialog boxes that show.
3. Enter admin as the user name, and enter the remote access password, if 
   one is set.

Um, really? Using STE, there's no way to tell the reader to type something
into a field or box? The need to do that comes up a lot, you know. :-)

Re: Importing Multiple Page PDFs into a Word doc

[Neeraj Jain]

I have used
Solidpdf. Like NitroPdf, it is also an excellent tool for converting pdf to 
word. I guess that it also allows import of multiple pdfs into a single Word 
doc.

I'm trying to crack an old nut again. I've got a Word doc into which I want
to import many PDF documents. The issue is that most of these documents are
multiple page PDFs.  When I import (as object, from file) one of the PDFs
into the Word doc, only the first page displays. 

In the past, I've created separate PDFs of each page of the multiple page
PDF and imported them into the Word doc in sequence. I'm trying to see if
there might be a better workflow for this.

Jeremy, I cc'd you on this because I'm wondering if MIF2Go might be an
option. I know it does wonders rendering RTFs of Frame files; I'm wondering
if there is a way to use it to produce accurate RTFs from PDFs. I've got
Acrobat 9 Standard and when I use it to create an RTF of one of these files,
the result is not pretty. The result can be cleaned up, but it will just
take to long per page to clean it up. It would be faster to just import each
PDF page separately.

Another benefit to importing RTF's is that my footers would stay accurate.
(That is, I'll keep my page x of y and so forth).

I know there are other PDF converters out there, maybe that's the route I
should pursue.

I returned Acrobat 8 Pro to the reseller because Adobe refused to fix it when 
the licensing got broken by one of their infamous updates.  I got my money 
back, and reinvested a *portion* of it in a product called NitroPDF.  My bad 
Adobe experience turned out to be a blessing in disguise.  NitroPDF is just 
fantastic.  One of the fantastic things it does is convert PDFs to both RTF and 
Word, to documents that exactly replicate what you had in the PDF, *including* 
proper paragraphs.

The pagination, per se, is identical, but it *does not* back-engineer the 
pagination formula.  It places a single curly bracket in the position where the 
page number was.  I have only used it with PDFs that were originally created 
from DocBook sources using the standard Saxon transformation, of which I am a 
consumer, not a developer.  As Jeremy suggested, you might get a more 
source-sensitive reconstruction of the page-numbering algorithm if your PDFs 
were originally created from the same Word or RTF templates. 

The PDFs I've converted have been typically around 100-200 pages;  but you can 
convert page selections in batch according to taste as well;  and your Word 
output options allow selecting conversion levels from highly editable to 
purely layout based.

I do HIGHLY recommend NitroPDF (http://www.nitropdf.com) for any tricks you 
need to do with PDFs (besides reading and editing them, of course!)  There's a 
trial version you can download and use for a month (I think).  I didn't need a 
month, though, nor even a week or a day.  It took me about half an hour to 
test, convince myself I wasn't dreaming, decide, buy the licence and install 
permanently.  It took much more time and effort, plus additional system 
cleaning software purchases, to uninstall and eliminate Acrobat Pro 8, alas!  
Six months on I don't miss Acrobat Pro even slightly.

These are readily available from Adobe. I got one and gave it to my  
client in case I get hit by a truck. Since they don't have Frame 9  
anywhere in the office (it comes in with me and my laptop), they'd be  
in a jam if they needed to get something done quickly and I was  
incapacitated. With the trial CD, they can run it and get something  
done while going through the process to order a copy.

I thought it was a nice gesture to be able to make. The client  
appreciates it. It's well worth having one of these around!

What I am looking for is not a download. The suite is very heavy, and I do not 
have so much bandwidth.

I am looking for a TCS2 trial CD/DVD.

Re: Does FM8 include Distiller as a separate executable?

[Neeraj Jain]

I am not sure about FM 8. However, when you install FM9, you can skip 
installing Distiller separately. Instead, it will install a light-weight 
application, and you will be able to create a pdf.

I know it was its own executable in 7.x. I am being told that it is
included differently in 8.x. If someone knows the relationship between
Distiller and FM in 8.x, I would appreciate your explaining it to me.

Re: OT: Heading levels in a UG

I think that a UG should not have more than 4 heading levels. More the heading 
levels, more the user will be forced to scroll up and down or click the expand

Hi All

I have an off-topic question that may or may not interest you. 

We are having a discussion at the office regarding the maximum levels of 
heading that a User guide/User manual can/should contain. Do you know of any 
best practice rules that define how deep a publication should/could be. 
Personally I think that 6 levels is too deep for a user, but that is just a 
personal preference that I cannot back up with evidence.

Heading 1

Insights, comments or instructions are highly appreciated.

Re: Motivating end users to read the user manual

I like Sharon's advice (ask the user directly). But I haven't seen anyone

I hope the lengthy paragraphs in your query are not representative of your

A couple of guidelines:

KISS--keep it simple, sir.

Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them what you want to tell
them, then tell them what you told them

Engineers like flow charts and logic diagrams, so fire up your Visio and try
to put the points across that way.

And everyone likes pictures, so see where you can use those. (Many people

 that will not be time consuming, or does anyone know any software that
 will convert a pdf to word and retain all formatting, graphics, etc. I
 tried saving the pdf as a word document, but a lot of the formatting was
 off. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.


 Thanks

PDF to Word Conversion

[Neeraj Jain]

I completely agree with Ankur. Solid PDF Tools is perfect for converting up to 
100 pages documents. We are using it in our organization. However, it fails 
miserably when asked to cover longish and complex documents.

Hi Charlene,

I have used Solid PDF Tools converter for converting PDF to MS Word. This
has yielded excellent results in terms of retaining the formatting, table
and figure conversion, as well as editability.

However, i am not sure for large docs extending up to 2000 pages, as is your
case.

HTH

Planning to buy Adobe Products in India

[Neeraj Jain]

Hi All,

We plan to buy Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe RoboHelp. Should
we buy these software individually or buy the entire Technical
Communication Suite 2?

We want to have maximum cost-benefit advantage.

It would be really helpful if you could provide addresses/phone numbers of Adobe
stores in India (preferably Delhi/NCR) or links to Indian Web sites selling 
these products.

[OT] RH 7 questions

[Neeraj Jain]

Sorry for asking the RH 7 question on the FM list. But I am caught in a 
terrible situation. I have a Word document with multiple sections. There are 
multiple headers and footers. This Word document also has screenshots. Now when 
I import this document into RH7, all screenshots (images) fail to appear. When 
I remove all the section breaks and then import the doc again, the screenshots 
appear again. I desperately want different headers and footers in my Word doc. 
I do not want to remove them because I also need to create the pdf. This 
strange behavior of RH 7 is confusing me a lot.

Can anyone please help me find a solution asap? Thanks in advance.

 The movement toward Extreme Programming and Agile Development is a

 of involvement during the entire development process (which is ONLY 
 appropriate for Waterfall, because everything else changes).

Outside your extreme programming project, you will probably need
documentation: by all means, write it. Inside your project, there is so
 much
verbal communication that you may need very little else.  Trust
 yourselves
to know the difference.

Ohhh wait, you mean that internal documentation is a waste of time, not
customer facing (and requested) documentation. Right?

That'll be why, as one of three technical authors working within an XP
driven development team (and I mean within as in sitting alongside,
contributing to design discussions, arguing UI points, trying early
 builds)
we are struggling to keep up with the (external) documentation
 requirements.
