FrameMaker's control of bookmark collapse/expand state is not always 
consistent.

Other than using add-ons, you can quickly set the bookmark collapse/expand 
state in Acrobat by Ctrl-clicking the [-] icon to the left of a bookmark 
will collapse *all* subordinate bookmarks (and likewise, Ctrl-cliking the 
[+] icon will expand all subordinate bookmarks). Use Save or Save As to 
store the bookmark collapse/expand state in the PDF.

FM to pdf-bookmarks expansion

[Radha Padmanabhan]

Hi Framers,
FM 7.0 with XP. Acrobat Professional6.0, Distiller6.0
I try to save my FM Book as pdf or print to postscript and then make pdf.
In the pdf settings dialog box, in the 'Bookmarks' tab, I select 'None' for 
Bookmarks expanded through level' check box. But still it expands the bookmarks 
in the pdf to the last level. It is very strenuous to manually collapse 
hunderds of bookmarks. What do I do?

Hi,
   
  Thanks for the help.
   
  Hi Jim, the link http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/public/word2frame.pdf was a 
great help.
  Carey, I'm afraid I do not use frame script.
   
  Jerilynne had suggested to convert the Word tables to tab delimited text, 
then copy/paste them using the Paste  Special  Text option. Once the text was 
in Frame, highlight the text and convert it to a specific named table based on 
the standards for template.
   
  This is feasible for my current situation.

Thumbtabs issue

[Radha Padmanabhan]

Hi Helping Hands,
   
  Ok. now I have to ask.
   
  I have a huge FM7.0 (Windows XP) manual with 5 guides. Every guide has 
Thumtabs for each chapter out of which only one guide's thumbtabs are working 
properly. I have tried  to figure out the mess, for so long. After a long long 
search I could unfold the treasure-secret of markers Header/Footer $1 and 
Header/Footer $2. Ok.
   
  Now the problem is this. Each thumbtab is an image of a globe in which appear 
the chapter number. The marker contains only the chapter number but I am not at 
all able to figure out how the globe is moving up and down as the chapter 
number progresses.
   
  Some points that I could figure out:
* Each chapter start has $header_footer1 set to the chapter no. (hard coded)
* the thumbtab image in the master pages remain in the same position for every 
chapter
(Still the tabs move when seen in body pages )
* the thumbtab image also holds a place (text frame?) for Runnung H/F4.
   
  Do I have to provide any more details?
  Please help.
   
   
  Thanks
Radha

Version control of FM documents/books

Hi, greetings!
   
  I use FM 7.0 with Windows XP. 
  For the projects that I work with, I am the sole writer(modifier)/owner of 
the documents.
  As of now, the FM documents are in the hard disk of my machine and 
periodically we ensure that they are backed up.
   
  I wish to know whether we can use CVS for version control of FM files/books 
and how the path sensitivity of FM /size of books will effect this. Or what is 
the best way to ensure version control of FM docs/books?
   
  TIA for the suggestions.

Query on Tables Numbering and List of Tables

[Radha Padmanabhan]

Hello, 
   
  Am using FrameMaker 7.0 with Windows XP.
   
  Coincidentally my question is also related to numbering and list as it is 
with some others in the list now.
   
  I have a big book with 5 Guides which in turn have some 10s of chapters as 
.fm files. I have to build a List ot Tables for each guide. My problem is how 
to serially number the tables across a specific set of chapters. That is, I 
have to serially number the tables from 1 to n in Guide 1, and 1 to m in Guide 
2; and build List of Tables for each guide.
   
  As it is now, the tables have 'No Title' for 'Title Position'. They have a 
manually set paragraph tag with NO autonumbering :(. I need to number them just 
as Table 1: title, Table 2: title, Table 3: title,., no section 
number or chapter number attached. 
   
  I am reluctant to use TableTitle with T:Table n+: format and use 'Continue 
from Previous File in Book' for Paragraph Numbering because I am not sure about 
the impact on other paragraphs and the book has more than 60 files. The number 
of paragraph tags used is also very large that I cannot manually check for the 
nature of autonumbering in each.
   
  I tried to figure out something from FM help but in vain. Please help. 
   
  Thanks
Radha

RE: Query on Tables Numbering and List of Tables

[Radha Padmanabhan]

Thanks for all your suggestions.
   
  I think I'll better get to analyse the paragraph formats and use the T:Table 
n+ cum 'Continue Paragraph Numbering from Previous File' format. 
   
  In addition to the one big book, I do have separate books for each guide to 
generate lists. I'll handle the LOT too with this.
   
  As for MIFMuncher, I have downloaded it and shall give it a try shortly.
   
  Thanks again.

  It really shouldn't be all that difficult to determine if there are

It occurs to me that you seem to be using one FM book file for all five
guides. That's fine -- it makes it easier to do global stuff, like
updating formats, variables, etc., or creating a single PDF. But you
might want to also create an FM book file for each individual guide,
containing only its chapters. Your chapters can live in multiple book
files, and a separate book file for each guide will simplify some
things, such as generating a LOF for each guide (it sounds like that's
what you plan to do). 

HTH!

Query on Tables Numbering and List of Tables

[Radha Padmanabhan]

Thanks for all your suggestions.

  I think I'll better get to analyse the paragraph formats and use the T:Table 
 cum 'Continue Paragraph Numbering from Previous File' format. 

  In addition to the one big book, I do have separate books for each guide to 
generate lists. I'll handle the LOT too with this.

  As for MIFMuncher, I have downloaded it and shall give it a try shortly.

  Thanks again.

It occurs to me that you seem to be using one FM book file for all five
guides. That's fine -- it makes it easier to do global stuff, like
updating formats, variables, etc., or creating a single PDF. But you
might want to also create an FM book file for each individual guide,
containing only its chapters. Your chapters can live in multiple book
files, and a separate book file for each guide will simplify some
things, such as generating a LOF for each guide (it sounds like that's
what you plan to do). 

HTH!

List of unused User Variables?

[Radha Padmanabhan]

Hi, 

  FrameMaker 7.0 with Windows XP.

  Is it possible to know which already created User Variables are not used in a 
document, other than by trial and error method of deleting them?

  Thanks
  Radha

Can User Variable value be changed at book level?

[Radha Padmanabhan]

Hi, Good day.
   
  I use FrameMaker 7.1 with Windows XP.
   
  I have got a FM book with about 50 chapters (files). But they are logically 
grouped as 5 guides. All chapters in all guides have footers with Product Name, 
Release No. and Date and Guide identification. For each guide, the footer has a 
User Variable-DocumentNumebr. Its value is partially different for each guide. 
Every time there is a release, the variable value changes. I am having to edit 
the master page of each of 50 chapters manually. 
   
  Is there a possibility to change the value of the variable from book level 
for a range of chapters?
   
  I am a bit apprehensive about using templates (if possible) since the book is 
authored by someone else and I do not know the underlying risk. Excuses if this 
is a very basic question.
   
  Thanks
  Radha

Hi, 

I use FM 7.1 with Windows XP.

I got a 500 page FM Book with 16 files including TOC and Index. When I
opened it was detected to be of version 5.5. I was also prompted to
Optimize for PDF size during conversion to pdf. But when doing that
(selecting the book), the files to which Links are found are opened. I
press 'OK' to open all the files. But the operation fails telling 

[PDFSize] Error: Cannot open file ama-pre.fm. 
Error: Cannot open file ama-pre.fm.
[PDFSize] Dumping Error Information

If I Skip this file, same error is displayed for another file.
What is wrong in what I am doing? How do I get the optimization done?
Other than the size of PDF, how does it affect conversion to pdf.

Thanks
Radha
