RE: Any way to disable hover bubbles?

2011-08-10 Thread Spectrum Writing

Ok, I too had an issue w/ these annoying tooltips. I have set the Tooltips
option to Hidden and have even closed and restarted FM, but I am STILL
getting these dratted tooltips, and they are still hanging around for an
annoying few seconds even after moving the mouse. How can this be? Is it a
bug in FM 9.0 that the tooltips preferences are not recognized?

Is there any way to disable those annoying hover bubbles that appear any
time your mouse crosses a control or input field? They obscure what is
underneath them, and worse, depending on what you're doing or what the
bubbles are displayed over, they won't go away for several seconds even
after the mouse is moved.

 

Frame needs to stop helping me to death. it's becoming more and more a

Any way to disable hover bubbles?

2011-08-10 Thread Spectrum Writing

Well, chalk up yet another "isn't that special" feature of FM 9.0. 



Thanks for the confirmation (I guess!)

Yep, it's not working right in a Win 7 environment either.

Woo hoo - if >>YOU'RE<< seeing 'em for FM 9 on Win7, then I am not experiencing 
the gaslight treatment. Man, what an annoyance these things are! Is there an 
option to kill them instead of just hiding them !~

Um...actually, now that you mention it (and I actually check on my work

on Windows 7, yet, to be sure).

Ok, I too had an issue w/ these annoying tooltips. I have set the Tooltips 
option to "Hidden" and have even closed and restarted FM, but I am >>STILL<< 
getting these dratted tooltips, and they are still hanging around for an 
annoying few seconds even after moving the mouse. How can this be? Is it a bug 
in FM 9.0 that the tooltips preferences are not recognized?

Open the Interface Preferences dialog. In the General group there is a Tool

Framemaker 10, Windows 7 64-bit.



Is there any way to disable those annoying hover bubbles that appear any time 
your mouse crosses a control or input field? They obscure what is underneath 
them, and worse, depending on what you?re doing or what the bubbles are 
displayed over, they won?t go away for several seconds even after the mouse is 
moved.



Frame needs to stop helping me to death? it?s becoming more and more a 
Microsoft product with every passing day?

Subject: Slightly OT: Adobe Acrobat license craps out and no help from
Customer Support

 

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, all patched. Win 7, 64 bit.

 

All of a sudden, I am receiving the following message about my installation
of Adobe Acrobat Pro - You cannot use this product at this time. You must
repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the product, or
contacting your IT administrator or Adobe Customer support for help. 

 

Why this has just started I do not know. The product has been successfully
installed and activated for almost two years now. I tried the Repair Adobe
Installation option and that does not work. I cannot uninstall the product
until I deactivate it first, but I do not have a deactivate option under
Help, only the Repair Acrobat Installation option. 

 

Has anyone else seen and/or run into this issue and if so, what did you do?

 

I tried contacting Customer Support (via chat) who has helped me activate
software twice before, but they absolutely claim that although they can help
me activate software, they can't help me deactivate it. When I ask why, I
get the standard ill-worded Adobe canned response:

 

Please call the technical department at 800-833-6687.Monday-Friday, 5am to
7pm (Pacific Time) to get resolve this issue.

 

They did direct me to Help  Deactivate, even though I explicitly stated two
times in my chat that I do NOT have that as an option. Only the Repair
option. They then directed me to use the Repair option even tho' I also
explicitly stated that I had tried that twice and that had not worked.

 

I would love to rant at this point, but I think you get the gist.

 

Any ideas, thoughts, etc? 

 

Thanks,

RE: Slightly OT: Adobe Acrobat license craps out and no help from Customer Support - Resolved

I finally got through to Customer Support who indeed deactivate my
installation. I then uninstalled, and reinstalled and then had to resolve a
known issue w/ the license. These are the links that helped me:

 

First give this a try: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html

 

If that doesn't work give this page a shot:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/100/1008779.html

 

 

Also, something that I learned a long time ago w/ this issue - if you still
are having licensing issues w/ the specific message that I received, do
this: In the Start field, enter msconfig.exe, and in the System
Configuration dialog box that opens, open the Services tab and make sure
that FLEXNet Licensing  Service is enabled.

Not a Framemaker question, but because of all the FM/Acrobat gurus on this
list, I know I can get an answer. Just purchased  a new laptop and am in the
throes of setting up my environment. I installed my legally purchased copy
of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0. After installation, the version is 9.2.0,
and I want to make it current - 9.4.3. I go to Help  Check for Updates, and
I immediately get a message that states that Updater is already running.
Say what? How can that be? The very first time that I opened Help  Check
for Updates, I got this message, so . . . As a result, I cannot check for
updates and bring my Acrobat version up to 9.4.3 unless I go to Adobe's site
and download every single flippin' update for 9.0 that is out there in
sequential order and install. That will take hours and is not feasible. How
can I get this Help  Check for Updates function operational for my
installation?

 

Thanks!

FWIW, 

 

Forgot to add that the first thing that I did was immediately go to Task
Manager and look for the appropriate task that I could kill, but the only
Adobe task that is listed is the task for Adobe Acrobat itself - nothing for
an installer, or any other Adobe task.

RE: Adobe Acrobat question

2011-04-20 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

I was asked for a summary of what I did and why, so here it is:

 

1.) Right after I got the message about Adobe Updater still running, I went
into Task Manager and looked for a task that would indicate the Adobe
Updater that I could kill - something like this - C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Adobe\Updater5\AdobeUpdater.exe but no such task was listed.

2.) I googled Adobe Updater still running and found t his -
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2893395 - which indicated that a solution
had been posted at   http://forums.adobe.com/message/2884467#2884467
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2884467#2884467 in  a post by Pronil Sen
Gupta; however, the post again indicated to look for the Updater.exe and
kill that.

3.) I ultimately wound up killing these processes in task manager -
acrotray.exe*32 and another task that I can't remember the exact name of,
but it obviously was an Adobe task related to Adobe AIR.

4.) Opened Adobe Acrobat, selected help  check for updates and voila, I was
now able to check for updates. Rather than downloading and installing 25
separate update files, a bundle is downloaded that updates the application
in one fell swoop from your current version (mine was 9.2.0) to the most
recent version (9.4.3); if for some reason this bundle is not downloaded,
then just like FM updates, you might have several to carry out, but again,
it will be much less than 25 individual updates. 

 

Just from googling this issue and perusing the Adobe Forums, I guess this
can be a common problem - that Adobe Updater is stuck in a loop in a
background, and you have to manually kill all adobe processes to be able to
use the Help  Check for Updates function.

Tammy,

You wrote:

I want to modify some Visio diagrams and in this modification, include a 
link from different parts of the diagram to different locations in 
Framemaker files. The Visio diagrams will be in files that are in the same 
book as the files to which I want to link. The final deliverable will be a 
PDF. Is this even possible?

If you are referring to including links in the native graphics that will be 
carried over as interactive items to the PDF, this requires other formats 
(e.g. SWF, with Acrobat/Reader 9 or later, or U3D, as well as 
production-side add-ons).

Even though Visio itself supports the insertion of hyperlinks for objects 
inside the drawing, this functionality is carried over to PDF when Visio 
drawings are integrated into FM (which is then converted to PDF).

With Visio (or with any other graphic format you can use in FrameMaker), 
simply add text frames in the anchored frame containing the graphics, with 
the hypertext markers defining the links (typically gotolink markers 
pointing to destinations defined with newlink markers). When the graphics 
is revised/resized, you will need to review/update the size/position of the 
text frames or the markers' content.

Set the graphic runaround property to Don't Run Around, so that text 
frames can placed on top of the graphics without the frame content being 
repelled.

Text frames (and the resulting PDF links) are always rectangular. 
Technically, it is possible to set the link highlight property to None so 
that no attention is drawn to the rectangle shape (e.g. when the link is 
placed over a diamond shape).

[f2a] Linkg from Visio diagrams to FM files (final deliverable is a PDF)

2011-03-02 Thread Spectrum Writing

Thank you Shlomo very much.  I think I understand your instructions. I will
try to implement them today and if I have questions, I will ping the list
again.

Much appreciated,

If you are referring to including links in the native graphics that will be 
carried over as interactive items to the PDF, this requires other formats 
(e.g. SWF, with Acrobat/Reader 9 or later, or U3D, as well as 
production-side add-ons).

Even though Visio itself supports the insertion of hyperlinks for objects 
inside the drawing, this functionality is carried over to PDF when Visio 
drawings are integrated into FM (which is then converted to PDF).

With Visio (or with any other graphic format you can use in FrameMaker), 
simply add text frames in the anchored frame containing the graphics, with 
the hypertext markers defining the links (typically gotolink markers 
pointing to destinations defined with newlink markers). When the graphics 
is revised/resized, you will need to review/update the size/position of the 
text frames or the markers' content.

Set the graphic runaround property to "Don't Run Around", so that text 
frames can placed on top of the graphics without the frame content being 
"repelled".

Text frames (and the resulting PDF links) are always rectangular. 
Technically, it is possible to set the link highlight property to None so 
that no attention is drawn to the rectangle shape (e.g. when the link is 
placed over a diamond shape).

Linking from Visio diagrams to FM files (final deliverable is a PDF)

2011-03-01 Thread Spectrum Writing

I want to modify some Visio diagrams and in this modification, include a
link from different parts of the diagram to different locations in
Framemaker files. The Visio diagrams will be in files that are in the same
book as the files to which I want to link. The final deliverable will be a
PDF. Is this even possible?

Thanks,

RE: Master Page Usage confusion

2011-02-08 Thread Spectrum Writing

Silicon Prairie's Master Page tool will solve all these heartaches. You can
specify how you want your Master Page settings once in a MasterPage.fm file
and then use paragraph tags and/or markers to apply all master pages in a
single step - no need to go through page by page. I have no financial
affiliation with the software - just a very satisfied customer.

Subject: Master Page Usage confusion

Hello all,

I just discovered four pages in a long document I published almost a
year ago that were missing appropriate headers. This happened because I
inadvertently had an appendix-related master page applied, rather than
Right/Left.

I'm not going to blame FrameMaker for my goof but I would like to know
if anyone else finds setting Master Page Usage to be very confusing?
Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem very smart, meaning, I seem to
have to keep going back and re-setting usage as pages add. Especially I
find that when I apply a master page that changes the layout from
portrait to landscape or vice-versa, I have to keep re-selecting pages
that missed the conversion because the layout caused repagination.

Either way, it seems that the only way to be sure that master page usage
is correct is to check every single page.

Am I missing something simple? I hope I'm explaining myself
sufficiently.

I had the same or a similar problem. If I remember right, there were 
notices popping up that the programs were unregistered, but no menus to 
allow me to register them. I did something-- I forget what (deleting the 
*.fm files for the SP plugins in fminit?)-- that made the menus return, 
but entering the registration data would not stick and would be lost 
when I closed FrameMaker.

If I recall correctly, the fix was to find the various *.fm files 
belonging to the SP plugins in the fminit folder: AutoText.fm, 
CHARREG.fm, etc. Right-click on each one and choose File Properties 
Security Tab, and then set permissions for Users to allow everything. As 
I recall, they had read-only permissions set that were the cause of the 
problem.

 All,



 I have also sent a message directly to Steve at Silicon Prairie, but I am
 hoping that I can also get an answer from this list. I must set up a
 client's environment with FM9.0 on a Win7 64-bit machine. The client wants
 their FM installation to have all the bells and whistles that mine has.
 This means that I must install the following Silicon Prairie plugins -
 AutoText, Master Page Tools, Paragraph Tools, Character Tools, and Table
 Tools. I am set up as an Administrator on the client's laptop on which I
am
 setting up this environment. I have downloaded and installed these plugins
 many times before w/out issue, but for the life of me, this time, I having
 some difficulty.



 For example, I downloaded the Master Pages Tools for FM9.x and I placed
the
 MPTools.dll in the plugins directory for FM and the MasterPage.fm document
 in the fminit directory for FM9 as you are supposed to do. I did not have
FM
 open at the time, but when I opened FM, I did not see the Tools menu
option
 in the FM main menu as expected. I closed FM and reopened and still no
luck.
 So, I opened the MasterPage.fm document and made an entry and when I tried
 to save the file, I got the message that the file could not be locked
 because I did not have Write permission, but I am set up as an
 Administrator. I closed FM and opened it by right-clicking on the desktop
 icon and selecting Run as Administrator and after FM opened, I opened
the
 MasterPage.fm file, made an entry in the file and was able to save it. OK,
 good, but the Tools menu option still is not displayed on the FM main
menu.
 I am expecting to see File Edit Format View Special Graphics Table Adobe
 RoboHelp AutoText Tools Webworks Window Help and instead, I am seeing File
 Edit Format View Special Graphics Table Adobe RoboHelp Webworks Window
Help.
 I don't have the options for Auto Text and Tools and I have properly
placed
 the dlls for the tools as well as the corresponding .fm files. I have
 confirmed that under View  Menus that Complete is selected.



 Has anyone run into this issue before and if so, how did you resolve it?



 TIA,

Question about some FM plugins

2011-01-31 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

I have also sent a message directly to Steve at Silicon Prairie, but I am
hoping that I can also get an answer from this list. I must set up a
client's environment with FM9.0 on a Win7 64-bit machine. The client wants
their FM installation to have all the bells and whistles that mine has.
This means that I must install the following Silicon Prairie plugins -
AutoText, Master Page Tools, Paragraph Tools, Character Tools, and Table
Tools. I am set up as an Administrator on the client's laptop on which I am
setting up this environment. I have downloaded and installed these plugins
many times before w/out issue, but for the life of me, this time, I having
some difficulty. 

 

For example, I downloaded the Master Pages Tools for FM9.x and I placed the
MPTools.dll in the plugins directory for FM and the MasterPage.fm document
in the fminit directory for FM9 as you are supposed to do. I did not have FM
open at the time, but when I opened FM, I did not see the Tools menu option
in the FM main menu as expected. I closed FM and reopened and still no luck.
So, I opened the MasterPage.fm document and made an entry and when I tried
to save the file, I got the message that the file could not be locked
because I did not have Write permission, but I am set up as an
Administrator. I closed FM and opened it by right-clicking on the desktop
icon and selecting Run as Administrator and after FM opened, I opened the
MasterPage.fm file, made an entry in the file and was able to save it. OK,
good, but the Tools menu option still is not displayed on the FM main menu.
I am expecting to see File Edit Format View Special Graphics Table Adobe
RoboHelp AutoText Tools Webworks Window Help and instead, I am seeing File
Edit Format View Special Graphics Table Adobe RoboHelp Webworks Window Help.
I don't have the options for Auto Text and Tools and I have properly placed
the dlls for the tools as well as the corresponding .fm files. I have
confirmed that under View  Menus that Complete is selected. 

 

Has anyone run into this issue before and if so, how did you resolve it? 

 

TIA,

 

TVB

Ok, got it working. I had to set some properties for Framemaker to Run as

the dlls and .fm pages and re-added, opened FM and voila, the Tools menu now

Numbering question

2011-01-28 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

I have an unstructured Frame book created in FM 9.0 (all patched and
current) that contains the following layout:

 

. Front Cover

. Front Matter

. Generated TOC

. 40 individual files,

. Index

 

The structure of these individual files is this:

. Section 1 Splash page (Chapter Number set to 1, but it is not
displayed.)

. Multiple chapter files (each chapter numbered sequentially 1
through . . . , with first chapter in  book set to have the same chapter
number as the preceding Section splash page and all other chapter numbers
set to auto-increment)

. Section 2 Splash page (Chapter Number set to 1, but it is not
displayed.)

. Multiple chapter files (each chapter numbered sequentially 1
through . . . , with first chapter in  book set to have the same chapter
number as the preceding Section splash page and all other chapter numbers
set to auto-increment)

. Section 3 Splash page (Chapter Number set to 1, but it is not
displayed.)

. Multiple chapter files (each chapter numbered sequentially 1
through . . . , with first chapter in  book set to have the same chapter
number as the preceding Section splash page and all other chapter numbers
set to auto-increment)

. Section 4 Splash page (Chapter Number set to 1, but it is not
displayed.)

. Multiple chapter files (each chapter numbered sequentially 1
through . . . , with first chapter in  book set to have the same chapter
number as the preceding Section splash page and all other chapter numbers
set to auto-increment)

.  

 

As you can see, a  Section (e.g. Section 1) is its own physical file in a
book versus being in a chapter that contains multiple sections. I want to
set up Section Numbering so that each section page is automatically numbered
correctly. What I am trying to do is set up set up section numbering for a
section, for example, Section 1, and then set the section numbering for all
the chapters in the section to use the same number as previous section. The
for Section 2, set the Section Numbering to be continued from the previous
section in the book, set the section numbering for all chapters in the
section to use the same number as previous section, and so on; however, the
Section Numbering options for any file that I select is not available - all
options are totally grayed out and I am stumped. Why isn't section numbering
an option for me and how can I get these section pages to auto-increment as
a result?

 

TIA,

Disappearing graphics in Framemaker files

2011-01-21 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

Now that I can catch my breath after a major panic, hopefully, I can
accurately describe a problem that I just had in a large Framemaker book -
one that I had NEVER seen before and one that took some weird fixes.
Working on a Win 7, 64-bit system, 12GB memory, dual quad processors with FM
9.0 all patched and current. I have a Framemaker book file with 14 files in
it, two of which are some standard generated files, a TOC and an Index. I
have been working on this book for over a month now without any issues.
Today, I opened all the files in the book and all, and I do mean ALL
graphics were just apparently gone from each and every file. Every single
solitary anchored frame that had an imported graphic (by reference) file was
blank, but yet when the files opened, I did not get the message about FM
cannot find a graphic file. I also have graphics on my Reference pages that
are pulled into some paragraph tags that I had and these too were gone -
poof! I couldn't really fathom what I was seeing. In fact, when I opened and
viewed the Reference page for each of these files, the graphics on the
Reference pages were gone as well. Only the name of the graphic above its
anchored frame was displayed. 

 

I first opened a file in a completely different book in a completely
different directory that uses the same Reference page layout and reference
page graphics and all was OK, so I tried MULTIPLE times to import this
reference page into the files with the apparently missing graphics to no
avail. I would select File  Import  Formats, confirm that Reference
Page/Page Layouts/Paragraph Tags, etc. was selected and with an affected
file open, import from this good file. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Nothing in
the affected file was being changed  - the Reference page stayed blank, etc.
In desperation,  in an affected file, I selected an anchored frame and
imported the apparently missing graphic into an anchored frame and VOILA!
ALL and I do mean all the graphics reappeared in all their glory in
all their anchored frames - no error messages, nothing. This included the
graphics that were pulled in by reference pages.  

 

I repeated this process for all the affected files - reimporting a single
graphic into a single anchored frame to update all the missing graphics.
Here's the real kicker - in some cases in which I reimported the missing
graphic, it was displayed on top of the same graphic - like I was importing
over an already existing graphic, even tho' the existing graphic wasn't
displayed until I reimported it. It was like FM lost its memory and simply
forgot the path to the graphics folder, and nope, I hadn't moved any
folders, renamed files, etc. It was the same old book in the same old place
with the same old file structure that I have had for a month now.

 

Has anyone ever seen this before and if so, do you have any insight as to
what would be the cause of this? I can't imagine that with 12GB RAM, memory
would be an issue. I had standard applications open on my desktop that I
always have when working - Outlook, MS Internet Explorer, Skype, PowerGramo
(a recording app. for Skype), and the application to which I am writing.
This has been my MO since the cows came home, and I have never seen it
before, and I hope to never see it again.

 

TIA,

RE: Disappearing graphics in Framemaker files

All I did was go to the book in Internet Explorer, double-click to open it
and then I was opening one file at a time in the book. I was mouse-driven
the whole time - I promise I never touched the keyboard at all during the
opening of the book or files. What on earth is the keyboard shortcut for
View  Options  Display all Graphics? I didn't even know that it existed.

I suspect that you had accidently hit the keyboard shortcut equivalent 
to View  Options  Display Graphics, thereby hiding all the images. 
(Or somehow FM decided to turn that option off for you ;-)

Importing a new image always turns that setting back on, revealing all 
the images.

RE: Disappearing graphics in Framemaker files

2011-01-21 Thread Spectrum Writing

I promise guys - View  Options would have been an overt series of clicks to
get there and I would have remembered that and I didn't do that, but here's
another thing - just opened one of the files in this lovely book and again,
apparently no graphics, so I go to View  Options  and Graphics is indeed
selected. I clear it, close the Options dialog box, the open the dialog box
and select again, and boom, graphics reappear, no joke. and, I didn't even
really know about the dialog box that opens after you select View  Options
until y'all mentioned it here. The only View option that I use in FM  9 is
View and then right there on the dropdown menu, I select Text Symbols or
Borders as needed.

Disappearing graphics in Framemaker files

2011-01-21 Thread Spectrum Writing

I promise guys - View > Options would have been an overt series of clicks to
get there and I would have remembered that and I didn't do that, but here's
another thing - just opened one of the files in this lovely book and again,
apparently "no" graphics, so I go to View > Options  and Graphics is indeed
selected. I clear it, close the Options dialog box, the open the dialog box
and select again, and boom, graphics reappear, no joke. and, I didn't even
really know about the dialog box that opens after you select View > Options
until y'all mentioned it here. The only View option that I use in FM  9 is
View and then right there on the dropdown menu, I select Text Symbols or
Borders as needed.

Annoying FM quirk

2010-11-10 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

I have a paragraph tag named PageBreak that is designed to do what the name
implies - put in a PageBreak at specific location that I select. The tag has
a 750.00 pt Below Pfg characteristic and I have also applied a bright
Fuschia color so that I can differentiate the pilcrow for the tag from that
of a simple Body tag. When I apply the tag, the pilcrow is displayed in the
Fuschia color, but after that, boom, it's a crapshoot. Sometimes the pilcrow
holds the color and other times, it doesn't and I have to go back manually
reapply the tag. It's very annoying as when proof-reading/editing my
documents, I need to confirm that the tag is indeed a PageBreak tag and not
a Body tag. (If I were just printing the manuals, then it wouldn't be an
issue, but I am single-sourcing these docs. and using ePublisher to produce
online help, so the issue becomes critical for this.)

 

Has anyone experienced this or something similar at all? Why on earth won't
the pilcrow hold the color? 

 

FWIW, I am using FM9 (all patched and current) on a Win7 64-bit system.

 

TIA,

 

TVB

Subject: Annoying FM quirk

All,

 

I have a paragraph tag named PageBreak that is designed to do what the name
implies - put in a PageBreak at specific location that I select. The tag has
a 750.00 pt Below Pfg characteristic and I have also applied a bright
Fuschia color so that I can differentiate the pilcrow for the tag from that
of a simple Body tag. When I apply the tag, the pilcrow is displayed in the
Fuschia color, but after that, boom, it's a crapshoot. Sometimes the pilcrow
holds the color and other times, it doesn't and I have to go back manually
reapply the tag. It's very annoying as when proof-reading/editing my
documents, I need to confirm that the tag is indeed a PageBreak tag and not
a Body tag. (If I were just printing the manuals, then it wouldn't be an
issue, but I am single-sourcing these docs. and using ePublisher to produce
online help, so the issue becomes critical for this.)

 

Has anyone experienced this or something similar at all? Why on earth won't
the pilcrow hold the color? 

 

FWIW, I am using FM9 (all patched and current) on a Win7 64-bit system.

 

TIA,

 

TVB

Subject: FrameMaker and RoboHelp

Hi All,

I'm looking for some resources to learn how to use RoboHelp with FrameMaker.
I have Technical Communication Suite 2.0, and I can't find any tutorials
about how to use these two programs together. The online help for Robohelp
doesn't include any kind of tutorial, and even more disappointing, the
online help for RoboHelp is not context sensitive. I have been trying to
link a FrameMaker book, but I only get one file out of 8 to show up when I
try to generate WebHelp.

I found a link on the Web for a demo by RJ Jacquez
(http://rjacquez.com/linking_framemaker_9_books_in/), but every time I try
to play it, a second instance starts a few seconds after the first one, so I
get two presentations playing at once, but out of sync.

Don't know if it's relevant, but I'm running Win XP64 with 8 GB of RAM, dual
processors, 3.2 GHz each.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks.

Is there an easier way?

2010-10-19 Thread Spectrum Writing

You can change the cross-reference globally in eP. You don't have to do it
in Framemaker. It changes just the x-ref format in the .chm output, not in
the FM source. Also, you don't have to manually strip out your screenshots
either. You can either conditionalize them the FM source, or you can set a
paragraph tag such as FigureAnchor for the anchored frame that they are
contained in and set the output for the tag to no output in eP. All this is
available from the Styles interface in eP.  What version of eP are using and
yes, I would join the wwp-users group on Yahoo as recommended as well.

Hi everyone,



This may be a procedural question. I write my manual (approx. 400 pages)
using Frame 7.2. It includes lots of screenshots and cross references.
To create my Help (.chm using ePublisher Pro), I make a copy of the
entire book folder, strip out most of the screenshots, and have to
change the cross reference format from Heading and Page to just Heading.




I have 2 questions:

1)Is there an easier way to change the cross reference format
(perhaps globally), and

2)Is there a way I can change the files the cross references
reference from the original book to the Frame Help files?



Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to make this easier and less
labor intensive?



Thank you,

David Millis

Hi all,

I have a master book that contains all the other books in my doc set I am
looking for a plugin to generate the following info:

1. identify all the text insets in every book. Generate a count of all the
insets.
2. create a list of insets, for each inset identify which book and FM file
the inset is in. Also provide the file path to the inset.
3. ability to screen out insets i don't want to see
4. ability to screen out duplicates. ie if inset1 pops up in the book the
multiple times, i might only want to see it first the time.
5. ability to do 1-4 with conditional build expressions (minus providing the
file path.)
6. ability to do this with graphics.

Is there a plugin out there that does this? I am not interested in
framescript though. I just want to take a file, drop it into my plugin
folder, and start using it. Basically, I am looking for some robust
reporting capabilities that gives me an idea about what state my
documentation is in.

Thanks,

Hi Jasmine,

This is a known issue with FrameMaker/Acrobat. I have a FrameScript script
that allows you to unlock the text insets before creating the PDF, which
effectively solves the link problem in the resulting PDF. After you create
the PDF, the script relocks the text insets. (The ability to unlock and lock
text insets is not exposed in the FrameMaker interface.) The cost for the
script is $80. If you don't have FrameScript, I can sell you a FrameScript
license and the script for $200. Please let me know if you have any
questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Subject: Frame X-REFs in Text Inset not Active in Book PDF

Hello Framers,

 

Structured Frame 8.0 (TCS1), XP, importing procedures written in text insets
into multiple books. I found today that any cross-references within the text
insets are not getting picked up as active cross-references in the book PDF.
Any other normal X-REFs are working fine. No X-REF errors when updating the
book in Frame. All X-REFs are updating correctly (all numbering is correct).
Just can't click these x-ref links in the PDF to jump to the destination
being referenced. 

 

I tried looking at the PDF job options, but didn't see anything obvious. Any
ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

As far as I am concerned, type is archaic and no longer used when talking

usually next in the list, but that require the dreaded extra click to

Could it be related to my importing of my old saved dictionary from Frame 8?

RE: Rely on system fonts only

2010-05-12 Thread Spectrum Writing

Thanks all. And yes, it was confirmed by Adobe that every time Adobe does an
automagic update, your settings are wiped out and you must reset. Sigh.

Still, the BIGGER issue is that I use ONLY Arial and Times New Roman Fonts
in all my documents - system fonts! I do not use embedded fonts in my
documents. It's ONLY on Win 7/64 bit that this setting becomes an issue.
Slap these files onto a Win XP SP3/32 bit system and the setting does not
become an issue.

As I have said before, this is a non-reproducible situation from system to
system - Two very savvy FM sources from the list have the same issue for all
documents on their Win7/64 bit system, another source has said that it's an
issue for only some of his documents, and yet another never has the issue.

I just saw the same issue be potshot at a client site well - some users had
the issue, some didn't, etc. It would be nice if Adobe would acknowledge
this issue and try to resolve it.

Thanks again all! This list is the best.

RE: Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 vs. Framemaker 9 and Adobe PDFMaker Plugin

2010-05-05 Thread Spectrum Writing

Fred,

 

Thank you, I do appreciate the information, but here is where my confusion
stemmed from - When you are installing FM9,  the option that opens during
the installation is similar to this Install PDFMaker, a plugin that allows
you to make PDFs from Framemaker files, and other applications such as
PowerPoint, MS Word, etc. So, although you say that ' PDFMaker is not
involved in producing PDFs from Adobe applications the actual message
during the installation states just the opposite. It specifically references
FM and that is what through me for a loop and added to my confusion.

 

I do appreciate your knowledge and clarification!!

 

thanks!

Subject: RE: Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 vs. Framemaker 9
and Adobe PDFMaker Plugin

 

Where to start...
 
First of all, PDFMaker is not involved in producing PDFs from Adobe
applications. Some Adobe apps (e.g. InDesign and Illustrator) have PDF
generation built into the app itself and don't need *any* additional
softeare components. Other Adobe apps (e.g. FrameMaker) come bundled with
the Distiller component to support PDF generation. But it is important to
note that this bundled version of Distiller is *not* PDFMaker. 
 
PDFMaker is an set of enhanced Distiller interfaces for *non-Adobe* apps
like Lotus Notes and the various apps in the MS Office suite. The obvious
thing that PDFMaker does is to install an Adobe PDF menu in the user
interface of the non-Adobe tool to make it more straightforward to produce a
PDF (i.e. via a single button click).  [This capability is unnecessary in
FrameMaker because Frame has both a Save As PDF command and the ability to
print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer built into it.]  What is less obvious
is that for tools like MS Word, PDFMaker also provides a tighter coupling
between the source document and the Distiller component so that
cross-references and hyperlinks in the source document are handled in the
PDF as working hyperlinks. [This capability is also unnecessary in
FrameMaker because Frame is PDF-aware and has the Include Acrobat Data
option in its own Print dialog.]
 
What is apparently causing you some confusion is that the Distiller
*component* (the executable that does the distillation of PostScript into
PDF) is separate from the Distiller *application* and its user interface.
You get the same Distiller component whether you have the version bundled
with FrameMaker (which has no independent user interface), the Standard
version of Acrobat (which has a UI that supports standard features like job
options, font embedding, etc. but does *not* support watched folders), or
the Pro or Extended versions of Acrobat (which have a UI that *does* support
watched folders). 
 
Having said all that, the embedded/bundled version of Distiller does support
the use of job options files, but does so through the Windows printer driver
interface. You select the Adobe PDF virtual printer, then click Preferences
in the Windows Print dialog. I don't have a system handy that does not have
a full version of Acrobat installed, so I am not sure whether you can edit
the preferences with the bundled Distiller, but you certainly can select
from among the job options files that are on the system. But the bundled
version of Distiller does *not* support watched folders because that is a
feature that is specific to the Professional and Extended (not Standard)
versions of the Acrobat toolset and their freestanding versions of the
Distiller app.

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 vs. Framemaker 9 and Adobe PDFMaker Plugin

2010-05-05 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

Let me summarize so that I can answer several offlist replies and comments
as well. When all you have is an installation disk and all you can do is
follow the prompts and you have troubles after what should be a 1-2-3
installation, troubleshooting becomes rather difficult to say the least. 

1.) Six different computers - two different setups (one setup for one group
of three/second setup for second group of three) - Setup 1: Adobe Acrobat
Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 (both patched and current); Setup 2:
Framemaker 9 and Adobe PDFMaker Plugin (FM9 fully patched and current).
2.) During installation of Setup #2, the prompt that opens in the
Installation wizard specifically states that the PDFMaker Plugin is for the
making of PDFs from FM9 files and other applications. Based on what I
thought was my correct understanding of this Plugin (and what Fred verified
in his response), this is NOT the case. The PDFMaker Plugin is NOT required
for generating PDFs from FM9 files, so answer "No" at the prompt and finish
the installation.
3.) On all three systems - open FM9, open the exact same file request to
Save as PDF. FM hangs and absolutely no PDF is generated. (And yes, the
Adobe PDF printer is supposedly installed -there is an entry for it in the
Devices and Printers window.) Try again - same issue - FM is unable to
generate a PDF.
4.) Uninstall and reinstall FM9 (with apologies to Dov and this use of
uninstall/reinstallzheimers). Repeat process of trying to generate a PDF
using Save as PDF. Same issue.
5.) Insert FM9 installation Disk and install Plugin.  Repeat process of
trying to generate a PDF using Save as PDF. Voila - PDF successfully
generated without any issues whatsoever, which defies all logic and
understanding of the process. HOWEVER, this issue was seen on three separate
systems by three different users with exactly the same setup - Win7, 64 bit,
FM9 (fully patched BEFORE trying to generate a PDF).

Second issue -
Three systems Win7, 64 bit, identical system for applications, FM folder
structure, identical FM files from the same source (Adobe Acrobat Pro
Extended and Framemaker 9 (both patched and current). Trying to Print an FM9
file to a postscript file that contains ONLY Arial and Times New Roman fonts
and it has been unequivocally confirmed that these fonts are installed on
all three systems -

1.) One user must AlWAYS deselect the option "Rely on system fonts only. do
not use document fonts" or no PDF can be generated. 
2.) One user must sometimes deselect the option for some files; other times,
it's not an issue.
2.) One user NEVER has to deselect this option. Postscript generation is no
issue as it should be based on the fonts used in the document and the fonts
installed on the system.

I have had two very savvy colleagues write me offlist (and these guys are
savvy - they build their own systems) and say that they too have to always
deselect the option "Rely on system fonts only. do not use document fonts"
to successfully generate a PDF - every single flippin' time and they cannot
figure out why.
Two people responded onlist a few weeks ago and stated that they run into
option two - sometimes they have to deselect the option, other times they
don't.
And, of course, there were the respondents stating that they fall into the
third situation - it works as expected.

And, if the exact same setup (Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9
(both patched and current)) is installed on a Windows XP SP3 32 bit system,
then it's always the third option with the exact same files - you do not
have to deselect the option.

The only commonality in all these issues - Adobe products. No problems are
seen for the Win7 systems with any other of the installed applications -
SnagIt, MS Office, Camtasia, etc. No matter the OS (Win7, XP, 32 bit, 64
bit), they all install just fine and give no issues. 


So, if anyone can shed light onto these two issues - it would be greatly
appreciated. I have searched the Adobe forums and issues such as this are
all over the board - people losing their hair over issues that shouldn't be
and others saying that they have no such issues at all. 

thanks,

TVB

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 vs. Framemaker 9 and Adobe PDFMaker Plugin

2010-05-04 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

Two systems - both Win 7, 64-bit. 

 

System 1 - Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended and Framemaker 9 (both patched and
current)

System 2 - Framemaker 9 and Adobe PDFMaker Plugin (FM9 fully patched and

Framemaker 9 as separate and standalone components, I obviously have access
to Distiller 9 as a standalone component. I can open Distiller, set watched

however, since Acrobat Distiller is installed as part of a plugin, it does
not show in the Start menu, the program files directory, etc., so how on
earth can you set up watched folders, set up job options, etc? The Save as
PDF function works just fine, but I still located the Distiller .exe here:
C:\Program File(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9 , and if you double-click on the entry
for Distiller.exe, Distiller doesn't open independently, if you right-click
on the Distiller.exe entry and save Send to Desktop as Shortcut, nothing
happens. I am assuming that it is for some reason because Distiller is
installed as part of a plugin and isn't truly a standalone app. under these
circumstances. Basically, I can't figure out how to get Distiller open on
its own so that I can set up watched folders, set job options, etc? Is this
not at all possible when using the PDFMaker Plugin with FM9 versus
installing it with Acrobat 9 or what am I missing?

 

Thanks so much!

Does anyone know about a plug in or an existing FrameScript script to manage

Subject: plug in or script to manage text insets (unstructured)

Hello,



I'm working on a project for a client where documents are created and
maintained using conditional text and text insets. When moving (copying)
files to a new location, text insets are not automatically recoverable like
image references.



Does anyone know about a plug in or an existing FrameScript script to manage
text insets, or for easy updating references to text inset sources?



Concerns FrameMaker 8 unstructured.

Kind regards, vriendelijke groet,

Can't delete rogue colors

2010-03-15 Thread Spectrum Writing

I have been only sporadically paying attention to the list recently, so if
this has been asked/answered recently, I beg forgiveness upfront. In a
recent project, I received a 300 dpi JPEG to use for the cover image of a
user's manual. Y'all helped me through that one (getting a square image to
fit a rectangular page without really distorting the image/losing pixels,
etc. so thanks!)

 

I imported the image by reference and when I went to update the book, I got
a long involved nastygram about how my colors were now inconsistent across
the rest of the files. I expected that, but figured I would deal with it
later as I was on a ridiculously tight timeline. Today, I am working on
creating a brand new template for a new client and the template is not in
the same directory path, the offending jpeg is not being imported, and so
on. Under View  Color  Definitions,  I see the whole offending list of
colors that I was being warned about on Friday. I thought that I would just
be able to select each offending color and click Delete, but the Delete
button is not available for these colors. (and next to Ink Name, the word
None is displayed and is grayed-out.) OK, so I tried saving the file as a
.mif, and opening the .mif to delete the colors, but same issue - the Delete
button is grayed out and the Ink Name is None. I am stumped. This file isn't
even in the same folder as the manual with the graphic that caused all of
this, the offending graphic isn't being imported - shouldn't I be able to
keep different color definitions for different templates?

RE: Can't delete rogue colors

2010-03-15 Thread Spectrum Writing

It's not in the same book. The book with the JPEG is in one directory with
Template A. I have created a second directory (completely different path)
for Template B. I am trying to nuke the color definitions in Template B. I
do know that the only time I got error messages in Template A for color
inconsistencies was AFTER imported the JPEG. before that I NEVER had a
book error window opening with error inconsistency messages.

It can't.  The problem comes from one of two other graphic

24-bit color).  You could make it go away by replacing the
EPS with a PDF, or changing the PNG to use 24-bit colors.

shouldn't I be able to

I don't think so, not in the same book.

Printing to PS and distilling to PDF question

2010-03-03 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

FM9 (all patched), Win7/64 bit system, Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. Several months
ago, after upgrading to all the listed hardware/software, I started having
issues with printing to PS and distilling the PS files to PDF using very
staid, well-established files that had never given me issue before. I was
receiving that contradictory message about Rely on system fonts only; do
not use document fonts when I hadn't changed one thing about the fonts that
I use in the documents (Arial and TNR only!) or what fonts were installed on
my system (these two fonts are indeed installed.) 

 

Long story short - after some guidance from several off list and on list
replies, I actually went and did this: Start  Device and Printers and on
the Adobe PDF Printer, right-clicked, selected Printer Properties, and under
Preferences, cleared the Rely on system fonts only; do not use document
fonts option.  That seemed to do the trick and I even double-checked that
this option was still cleared before using Standard or High Quality job
options to print to PS.

 

After the latest rounds of updates from Adobe, however, this preference is
NOT staying cleared for the Adobe PDF printer. I have to clear it each and
every time before I print to PS. That is absolutely the only thing that has
changed in relation to my documents or installed fonts on my system - the
documents don't use different fonts and I haven't uninstalled these two
fonts from my system.

 

I was just wondering if anyone else had to mess with this setting for FM9
/Acrobat Pro 9 and if so, had you seen this issue? (As explained to me, I am
having to mess with this setting for the first time ever in  my  history
using FM and printing to PS because of how FM 9/distiller 9 have changed
their font handling -something about the fonts being in the font stream now
or . . .l can't honestly say that I fully understand the surrounding issue,
and am just wondering if others have seen it as well - it just makes no
sense to me.)

 

Thanks,

 

TVB

I've had similar minor problems with old files that I've opened in 9,

Because some of the printer settings are stored with the file, I'm

RE: Shortcut Control keys - Part deux

Corrine,

I use FM9 and SnagIt together all the time and don't have any problems with
shortcut keys. You might want to look at the Windows SnipIt tool which is
very similar tool that comes with Vista and XP. (It does have its
limitations, but overall, probably will get you what you need.) You could
open the captures when you have captured all that you need in SnagIT editor
and then edit them - just a thought.

Subject: FM  RH Integration: FM Autonumber Character Format Not Converted
Correctly by RH

I will try this again, this time with a bit more info.



I have a style that includes text entered by autnumbering. The autonumber
text has a character format.



When integrated with RH, the autonumber text becomes editable but retains
its text characteristics from the character format.



However, I need to have it transformed by the .css to a different font,
Arial. (In RH, the character format comes across as FM_UITEXT; the FM of
which indicates that FM does not know how to format the style.)



Because the text comes across with the original FM font, RH turns it to
Times Roman, so when I generate WebHelp the browser picks up the font as
that as well. This makes the text inconsistent with the rest of my online
help.



I have tried to define the character format in fmstyles.css with the
following two styles, which do not work:



SPAN.UIText {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
text-transform: none;
vertical-align: baseline;
color: #00;
font-style: Regular;
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 10.00pt;
text-decoration: none;
}



and just:



Emphasize.UIText {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
text-transform: none;
vertical-align: baseline;
color: #00;
font-style: Regular;
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 10.00pt;

text-decoration: none;
}



Has anyone seen this problem and perhaps fixed it or come up with a
workaround?

RE: FM 9 books

2010-02-10 Thread Spectrum Writing

The Classroom in a Book for FM 9 is useless - speaking from personal
experience. It was NOT written as a new book for FM9, but basically the
author just updated 7.2 information and thought it would fit FM9 and it
doesn't. More questions are left unanswered than answered at all. If you
need to learn FM 9 specifics, like docking, etc., then RJ's blogs are the
way to go.

Framers,

Does anyone know of any FM 9 books, aside from the Classroom in a Book? It's
the only thing I've found that is just FM 9. (I know about Icon Logic's TCS
2 book, but that does not fit my need.)

Has anyone used the Classroom in a Book for FM 9? I just requested a review
copy, but I'm not sure when I'll receive it. I'd like to know what you've
thought of it for teaching FM 9.

Thanks!

FM 9 Workspace (x-posted to Framers and Free Framers)

2010-02-04 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

Thanks to so many of you for the emails and assistance in  helping me to
understand how to get this newfangled FM workspace idea to actually work
for me. I am still having a few quirks - like having to periodically reset
it after I have been hammering away in FM all day, but it's getting better.
I do have one nagging question about the setup:

 

I currently have my Standard workspace set up as follows from left to right
- My book file, the pane for an individual FM file, by paragraph and
character catalogs opened and stacked on top of each other, my most commonly
used pods in a docked list, and my drawing bar. I have all of my files
opening as tabs across the top. The only thing I can't get to hold constant
is the width of my book file. I squish the book file to the width that I
want, expand my pane for my individual chapter files, and save the
workspace. When I open my workspace, it all opens as described above but
with one exception - the book file is  opened wider than I want (it opens to
the same bigger width every time) and the pane for my chapter file is
squished down, so I have to squish the book file and open the chapter file
wider.

 

Is there a way to keep the book file squished down to the width that I want
when I open my workspace?

 

Thanks,

 

TVB

Standalone FM 9 (all patched) and RH 8.02 - (xposted to three lists)

2010-02-04 Thread Spectrum Writing

All,

 

I do NOT have TCS2, but I am posting to several lists in hopes of findng an
answer. I have standalone FM 9 (all patched) and standalone RH 8.0.2
installed on a 64 bit Win7 system. Whenever I open RH and request to import
a FM file, I get one of the following two messages:

 

1.) Import error  - failed to complete import. the import function grinds
and grinds and then times out with this error  message.

2.) the x.fm is NOT a FM file. Make sure that it is open and is a FM file.
Uh, yea, it is and it is open, otherwise, I wouldn't be trying to import it.

 

I am frustrated, stymied, panicked - you  name it.  I am on the hook for OLH
for a client and I am at a complete loss. I can't get anywhere with RH.

 

Where do I start, what do I do?

 

Thanks!

RE: [Free Framers] Standalone FM 9 (all patched) and RH 8.02 - (xposted to three lists)

2010-02-04 Thread Spectrum Writing

I forgot to clarify - yes, I did create a new blank RH project before I
tried the import and there were no errors in my FM file. Long story short -
after rebooting, and starting FM and creating a small FM primer file with
just a few paragraphs, I imported the primer file into a blank project and
all was fine. I then was able to import one by one all of my other FM files
that I could not before.  (and yes, I had rebooted and reopened FM and RH
and created a new blank RH project several times before - the only
difference was this FM primer file.)

 

Matt Sullivan suggested this trick to me  - why it works he's not sure, but
he has seen the trick work before and it helped me.  After I get the project
the way that I want it, I can delete the primer file and should be good to
go.

 

Thanks Matt.
