Re: FrameMaker on MacOS Retina display?

2015-01-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
I had the same problem with Frame 12 on Win 7 and I reduced my screen
resolution to 1440 x 900 and kept the text at the smaller setting and I no
longer have the problem.

Will my solution solve your problem? Dunno  here's hoping.

 Colleagues,

 I'm migrating from a 13 MacBook Pro to a 13 Retina MacBook Pro. On the
 new system, much of the FrameMaker user interface text (top-level menus,
 dialog box text, etc.) is _tiny_.

 I'm running a Windows 7 virtual machine under Parallels 10.

 My screen resolution is about 2000 x 1066 (less than full resolution).
 I've experimented with decreasing the resolution on the Mac and on the
 Windows VM, to no real effect. (Interestingly, some UI text, like sub-menu
 items, renders just fine).

 Has anybody done this successfully? I feel that I'm missing something
 basic that I must change to resolve the issue.

 FM 12 (unstructured)

 Win 7



 I'm working with a large book from a client (66 chapters, 2500+ pages)
 that has numerous paragraphs that show an * next to the style name.



 From what I've seen, and of course, I've not looked at every page of every
 file, the styles are in paragraph catalog, but apparently are not applied
 properly. One of my tasks is to generally clean up the style usage to make
 it consistent.



 Before doing that cleanup (with plug-ins and scripts), I'd like to get all
 the styles properly applied to each paragraph. Does anyone know of an
 automated way to do this?



 Thanks!

Re: FrameMaker 12 Cloud

2014-05-20 Thread Ted Steinberg
Right on, about automatic upgrades. They should be optional.

Here's the gotcha! Should be plural, not singular:

   1. Adobe suffers from the inability to cohesively deal with post sale
   help issues within a product by version, or by PDF's, on-line, forums,
   including **in-person tech support*. Adobe suffers? So do we!
   2. Adobe displays an endemic nonchalance to providing focused answers to
   questions without misdirecting the issue to other releases, some being
   several years old with different interfaces.
   3. Additionally, while seeking a legitimate answer to one thing or the
   other, it's not helpful to be smacked in the face with salubrious
   advertising, especially, a) if it's redundant to a current subscription.
   (How many times to I need to subscribe to the same products in the same
   suite?), or b) it's for any other product which Adobe's
   kaleidoscopic visionaries are favoring.

**Case in point:*

   1. to my pleasant surprise, twice, last week, I receive a call from
   Frame Tech Support in New Delhi regarding Frame 12's 2nd patch creating a
   shrunken pear shape when installed in Windows 8.1.
   2. I was informed that my issue was not the first. (Cool, I'm not the
   only thorn among roses.)
   3. Here's the rub! The tech, via Adobe Connect, was operating in Windows
   7 Pro, a fact not provided me until the end of call number two.
  1. He could see that Frame 12 and the 1st patch were not corrupted.
  2. He could see the mess caused by the 2nd patch.
  3. So he tweaked my registry, whereupon, I began to suspect he was
  not using or familiar with Windows 8.1. His pointer was from the wrong
  kennel.
  4. He admitted failure and decided to escalate the issue and assured
  me I would hear from Adobe a/o yesterday. (Monday, the 19th.
Tuesday in New
  Delhi, giving the escalator repairman an extra day to de-kink it.)
  5. Meanwhile, the computer was now acting odd. So, on Sunday, I did a
  complete repair within 8.1 (Several hours were dedicated
  to repairing Adobe's well meaning but ill prepared support.)
  6. FYI, I have received no contact from Adobe via email, telephone,
  or carrier pigeon.

Today, I am running Frame 12 without any patches. It works fine. Who knows
what I'm missing from the subsequent patches? Bad joke intended!

Thanks, Steve, for getting on Maxwell for his well intended, though myopic,
marketing pitch which sounded like: hurry up. All aboard. Train's leaving!

When I take the A Train, I expect to get where I'm going. My apologies to
Duke Ellington.

Ps. Word Mongers - hmm, nice name. I've been called a Word Carver. I hope

 With all respect to Maxwell, special offers do not answer Rick's point.
 Adobe has generated *massive* ill-will over its licensing policies; I only
 hope this this is reflected in some substantive way, such as the stock
 price, that will cause it to rethink.

 Incidentally, if a major release comes out (e.g. FrameMaker 13) during
 your subscription, you are automatically upgraded at no extra cost.

 This is often touted as an advantage of cloud-based services, but is in
 fact a Really Bad Thing, as it can invalidate an organization's substantial
 investment in training and expertise by changing user interfaces and
 capabilities without warning - not to mention, er..., causing disruption to
 productivity (modesty forbids me from putting this more strongly, although
 I'd like to).

 Just my 10c.

Re: Frame Upgrade Gotcha my Current TCS 5 Subscription

2014-05-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
Here's what's odd:

   1. I acquired the first download for TCS 5 on 2014.01.21, the day
   I subscribed and paid for the yearly plan. Insofar as I knew it was not a
   'trial version.Although it's somewhat of a trial in the effectivity sense.
   2. Two weeks ago, Adobe Application Manager announces an upgrade for
   Frame 12 along with one for Acrobat XI Pro  I install both at the same
   time. I go to Frame and it's SUBAR. [Shrunked Up Beyond All Repair.]
   3. I de-install it, then I re-install the one from the first download.
   No more SUBAR. Hurray, I'm back in the saddle again (clippity clop,
   clippity clop).
   4. The next day, on computer start-up, Adobe Application Manager say's
   howdy and I look at the Frame 12 patch = same number as before. Not
   heeding the words of Gary Cooper, I decide to try it one more time,
   thinking that Acrobat is upgraded and looking AOK, maybe it's an anomaly
   (no-see-um = biting insect, smaller than a  bug). Same result as in 2.,
   above. *What did Gary Cooper say, I know you're asking?*
  1. Ain't no horse that can't be rode. [Reference to Joan Crawford
  is impertinent.]
  2. Ain't no cowboy that can't be throw'd. [He loved and lost, it's
  been said.]
   5. Once more I repeat the de-install re-install process. Another Hurray.
   6. Later in the day, within Frame, I decided to check for updates, and
   there was one suggested; the version was the same as in Adobe Application
   Manager. For a change of pace, I try the in-Frame patch  once more I got
   on the horse and got off the horse with ready assistance from the horse.
   [How does this horse know Gary Cooper?]
   7. Two days ago, having heard from two of Adobe's Frame Wizards about
   their interest in horses, I decided to de-install all of TCS 5, and
   re-install only Frame. Then I applied the patch  it failed, so I repeated
   the de-install re-install of Frame, then Acrobat; both worked; then the
   other parts; they look OK  I assume they work.
   8. Yesterday, Adobe Application Manager say's hello and this time I see
   lots of patches for TCS 5 but none for Frame. I install the patches, check
   to see if they are sober = AOK, I reopen Frame, go to updates, and it tells
   me I am up to date. Yippee. I check the Frame version I am using and it is
   the same one which proceeded this merry go round. *Someone is trying to
   corral the horse.*
   9. Today, in Frame, I recheck for updates and I am up to date as in #8.
   Frame update gives me it's blessing,* the Horse is not running in The
   Preakness!.*

Conclusions:

   1. Frame's wiz kids will re-patch the patch, and it will reappear
   refined and sober-like.
   2. If Adobe goes into the merry-go-round business, I'm gonna ride a
   Tiger or a Lion; I'm cautious about their horses.
   3. Adobe's Suites should include Dramamine: download once, don't toss
   many!

I know my response is too big for fortune cookies, but it's perfect for
wastebaskets!

Moreover, today Adobe Application Manager provided me with several patches
for the other TCS 5 apps, but Frame's latest patch was not included, so
maybe Adobe is performing a patch for the patch.

Oh yes, at Adobe's website under the Technical Communication Suite help
page there is a column for install problems, when I click on it everything
that I am direct to pertains to the Creative suite.

When I visit the chat dude to find out what I should not reinstall in the
TCS suite, in terms of 64 bit (my machine) or 32 bit, he tells me I can
install both but I don't have to. Yippee.

 I had to uninstall Frame, re-install it and then apply the update again.
 That 2nd time, it worked.  Not sure what the difference was.  I'd just

Re: TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

Wow! All I will have to do is to convert Frame Files by save as to XML, and
that should do it. And the free plugin seems like it's all I need.

I will try this later today or tomorrow and let you know.

Re: TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

2014-03-09 Thread Ted Steinberg
Hi Art,

Hi Art,

Good stuff. It seems like I've struck a needed chord for repurposing
content into blogs.

I've been talked into doing a blog on my own stuff for a former client, a
marketing consultancy with a built in readership in excess of 8,000, so the
worry about getting readers is not where I'm focused. I want to make it
easy to publish my gibberish without having to manipulate it after getting
it into a theme that makes this possible.

Your remarks in general and specifically regarding the WordPress Content
Management System tools et al really interest me. I will be using their
premier plan which I think provides such tools.

Thanks for your contribution, I appreciate it.

 I've played with this some, with a varying amount of success. It's also
 come up on the wish list for Adobe enhancements

 But I'd use MIF2Go to save from Frame to HTML, them use a WordPress Import
 plugin/filter to read in the directories of HTML files. That's actually
 pretty easy.

 Your biggest problem is going to be maintaining a hierarchy -- pages can
 have a hierarchy, but the posts, the content itself cannot. So you have to
 do the import in a way that creates pages instead of posts unless you do a
 several stage process to organize items after import (which you can do --
 WordPress has strong Content Management System tools and plugins, but
 they're not the default setup).

 The responsive HMTL5 idea is OK, but that usually isn't something that the
 content controls -- it's be at the theme level. If you have a theme that
 supports HTML5 and has a responsive option (I use Suffusion) that's all you
 need.

 I suspect where you're writing template in your original post you're
 actually meaning theme because templates have a different role in
 WordPress than they do in Frame. They're just a styled type of page layout.

  Hi Ted...

 This is something that is on my list of things to make work .. someday.
 There are a number of ways to do this .. none, that I'm aware of, are close
 to being terribly reliable or clean. The option that I'd look into is to
 use RSS. WordPress can export and import RSS. I've done this to transfer
 content from one WP site to another .. it worked surprisingly well. So the
 key would be to be able to export your FM files as RSS, then that could
 import into WP.

 Of course it's not really that easy. You'll need to get an RSS file that's
 formatted in a way that WP can properly digest and shred into posts. I
 haven't looked into what that means, but in theory I believe that it's an
 RSS file that contains multiple entries with the content of each post
 formatted as HTML.

 I'm thinking of an HTML export from FM (of via RoboHelp) that you then run
 a post process on it to add the necessary metadata and wrap up the topics
 as posts. Start by doing an RSS export from WP to see what it looks like,
 then figure out how to get your exported FM content to look like that. My
 tool of choice would be Perl. Export FM to HTML, then run a Perl script on
 it to make it right, then import to WP. ??

 Or .. wait a few months till I get around to doing this.

 If anyone else has done this or has any other ideas, I'd like to hear.

 Let us know how it goes!

 Cheers,

 ...scott

Re: Cannot insert the infinity symbol and other special character problems

2014-02-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
I am using FrameMaker 12, unstructured = I don't see utilities under
the file menu. Where would I find this ability to do diacriticals et al,
and TM, Registered, et al?

My workaround is to use windows character map, from which I copy and paste
the symbol I want, regardless of how it looks, into my frame document, then
I go to Frame's Character Catalogue and select the default paragraph font
and that does it. I have not had an incompatibility issue because I think I
am using well known adobe fonts. Am l AOK with this or an accident waiting
to happen?

*Is the above workaround the best solution or does Frame 12 have a better
one?*

Thanks,

TED

 Framemaker does not appear to handle hexadecimal values

 decimal values but I can't determine what the different
 code points (character values) are mapped to. ALT+8734
 results in a solid triangle for me.

 But as of FrameMaker 9, there is a tool that allows input of hexadecimal
 (Unicode) character numbers. Look at FileUtilitiesHex Input. Not as
 convenient as the Alt-key, but it works.

Exporting to TypePad

2009-03-16 Thread Ted Steinberg
1st. I would like to export unstructured Frame 7.1 paragraphs directly
into whatever TypePad uses for creating blog posts; paste in is OK.
TypePad's support FAQ'a contain nothing on Framemaker.  I have about
4500 journal entries (paragraphs) into a 1,400 page Frame Book w/an
APL, TOC, and 50 chapters, of marketing concept notes taken over 20+
years; a few of my previous clients have asked me to put the best ones
into one or more blogs - for their sales  marketing staffs. The idea
of having to retype them and redo them is a bit much; I even called
Methuselah, he's older than I, but not by much, but he was too busy
with his own memoirs, given all those wives, to offer any advice other
than to not take steroids or Viagra or any performance enhancing
substances; but he did recommend that any advice from a Framer, though
addictive, was OK. So if anyone has some advise on how to do get from
Frame to a TypePad Blog with a minimum of pain I would be most
welcome.

2nd. I lost the WebWorks program that came with Frame, and it is not
installed. I mention this because, the thought is gnawing at my
clouded brain, that maybe it was good for something like this. If it
would be handy to have, any idea how I can get the program for the
price of a thank you? Like shipping it in a returning Banana Boat?

Regards from a retired Californian living in Costa Rica, having
improved the IQ's of both areas, although my Costa Rican relatives may
take exception to this remark.
