Creative Cloud Subscribers beware
I subscribe to Adobe's Creative Cloud service for several products that are not included in the TechComm Suite. Occasionally, I let the Creative Cloud updater do its thing, but I keep an eye on it. Apparently I was distracted this time or something, but when I allowed it to update all, it completely UNINSTALLED my Acrobat XI program and installed its new Acrobat DC. There was no warning, no request for permission. I just lost my Acrobat XI installation and all of its plug-ins and was presented with the rather bizarre, icon-filled screen for Acrobat DC. Since I am right in the middle of my semi-annual nail-biting project, I panicked. I uninstalled Acrobat DC, located my install file for TechComm Suite 5, and reinstalled Acrobat XI. Miraculously, all of my plug-ins and most of my preferred settings were intact. But I lost a couple hours of billable time tending to a problem that Adobe created, not to mention nearly having a heart-attack. So CC subscribers, be careful. Your Acrobat license that came as part of TCS is vulnerable to attack by Adobe's Acrobat DC. As for Adobe, shame on you. Carol ** Carol J.

Re: Importing clear, sharp images
Are the PSD documents degraded in PDFs or only on screen in FrameMaker? If the former, I'd say export to PNG. Resizing in FrameMaker by changing DPI has no effect on image resolution.

RE: Importing clear, sharp images
Several reasons to use Photoshop: 1) I add additional things to the pictures, like arrows and labels and callouts and circles and highlights etc., which I often generate in Illustrator; much easier to move these elements around when they reside on their own layer. 2) I generally make changes to things as I go.

Re: Importing clear, sharp images
SnagIt can do all those things but not with the same flexibility one can get from using Illustrator, especially layers. Secondly, when you export the file from illustrator to PSD, when you open it in Photoshop, why not use the File Save as Web function and specify PNG as the converted output. You can specify a specific resolution on the Illustrator export and Photoshop will retain that dpi al the way to the PNG. I do this all the time but create GIFs. I have even tried the Save as Web from Illustrator, but it doesn't play well which is strange. Both Adobe products, both creating web-ready graphics. One works (PhotoShop), the other doesn't (Illustrator). I would think the same code could be used in both instances.

RE: Importing clear, sharp images
Same here. I think SnagIt is an excellent tool and well worth the money. If the image/drawing I want to capture is large (or vectorized), I try to maximise it as much as reasonable (native, without jaggies) on the 1920x1200 screen I use before the screen capture. This makes the PNG capture occur at a good high resolution – i.e., the source quality is better – so that letting FrameMaker downsize it to fit still makes it look good.

RE: Importing clear, sharp images
No, if you import at screen resolution, you're almost always throwing away pixels. Your screen captures typically have to be shrunk to fit on the page in your doc. You want to shrink them by squeezing the existing pixels closer together, not by throwing some of them away. When you import a screen shot into FM, the Imported Graphic Scaling dialog offers Fit in Selected Rectangle. I don't generally use that, but if you're creating the anchored frame first, you might want to try it. I prefer to specify a nice round dpi (dots per inch) number that goes evenly into the typical laser printer resolutions (probably less important today, but old habits die hard). The Imported Graphic Scaling dialog also offers several common dpi options (with the dimensions on the page resulting from that dpi setting), and Custom dpi. It also shows you the pixel dimensions of the file you're importing. If none of the listed common dpi settings result in a size you can use, the math to get exactly what you want isn't hard. If the file is, say, 960 pixels wide, and you want it to fit exactly into a 6 wide frame on the page, divide 960 by 6. Set Custom dpi to the result, 160, and you should have a nice, sharp 6 wide screen shot in your doc.

RE: Importing clear, sharp images
To quote the classic TV commercial: Stop! You're both right! When speaking of raster images, the resolution is the *number* of pixels. It is *not* the pixel pitch, whihc ius what we're used to thinking of as resolution when we talk about monitors or printers. What Richard is saying is precisely the advice you've always heard. The resolution--the number of pixels--should always remain the same for the best results. Changing the reproduced size changes the pixel *pitch* but does not change the *number* of pixels. The thing you do *not* want to do is resample the image to change the number of pixels (the resolution); this *always* degrades the quality of the image, anthough the degree of degradation can vary widely depending on the ratio of the two resolutions and the algorithm being used for the resampling or downsampling. And getting the size correct is actually very simple as long as you know how to use a calculator. If you have an image that is 1328 pixels wide, and you need it to fit in a frame that is 3.25 inches wide, you need to set the dpi (the pixel pitch) to 1328/3.25 ≈ 409. In this case you can actually set the size with 0.25% (one part in 400) accuracy. -Fred Ridder From: tp...@telecomsys.com To: richard.co...@polycom.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Importing clear, sharp images Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 21:30:04 + OK this is very interesting.

As I understand it, you want to include the same content multiple times in a book. FrameMaker might make that tricky unless you have, as has already been suggested (Monica?), multiple book files with different names but with the same content. If you follow this approach, it should all work and only leave you with the issue of being confident that the included content is always identical. However, you only want to have to edit that content in one place. Hence a master document for the multiply included content, and some convenient means outside FrameMaker that ensures that edits to the master content are always propagated to multiple included clones.

Re: Importing clear, sharp images
If you have Illustrator objects embedded in PhotoShop images you're placing in FrameMaker, the latter may not be smart enough to render the Illustrator objects properly. If you export a PSD as PNG and place that in FrameMaker, and it works fine, then there's definitely something about the embedding. You still haven't said whether you're seeing the degradation anywhere except on screen in FrameMaker. It's not unusual for things to look fine in output that don't look right in FM.

What I create in Illustrator I just copy and paste into Photoshop as a smart object.

RE: FrameMaker 9 Internal error 9004 issue
Frank Ripp said: ? Maybe it is time - if I upgrade, should it be to Frame 12 or Frame 2015? Hmmm ... probably worth just going to FrameMaker 2015 in your case, I would think? The cost for either upgrade (well ... not an upgrade really, since it is a new purchase cost!) would be the same for you ... of course, the point that Robert Lauriston made about evaluating the competition again is well taken. Basically, there are probably some (many?) bug fixes in FrameMaker 2015 that are not in FrameMaker 12 ... even though they were reported while FrameMaker 12 was the production release. And it makes prices for future upgrades lower if you continue. Z [off-topic rant ... here I go again ... so feel free to ignore the rest of this! :)] FWIW, since FrameMaker 12 will not get these fixes now, I believe, it just gives more credence to my now-well-underway project of moving away from FrameMaker entirely. Also, the price for upgrades remains too high IMHO ... perhaps (my speculation) to try to force people to accept the monthly/annual subscription model version instead! Yuck. :( IMHO, companies should fix reproducible bugs reported in released versions - and not by forcing us to get bug fixes by upgrading to the next version (at high cost). I can rationalize spending $149 (used to be the support license cost) to $199 (used to be the old upgrade pricing model) every other year for upgrades to FrameMaker. But $399 is simply too much. Since Word for short new documents and LaTeX for long new ones are serving my needs very well. YMMV of course! My point: in software, new versions (with upgrades at reasonable prices) should be for new functionality ... that can be charged for. Bugs in recent versions (let alone those reported on the released version!) should get free fixes. Most companies follow that practice till they EOL a particular release, even after new versions are available. Microsoft, Oracle and Cyberlink are good examples of this Best Practice. I think it was Robert Lauriston who once asked me why I followed upgrade paths all the time ... I now think he was right to basically consider me an idiot (more or less)! So, FrameMaker 12 is likely to be my last version until all my old documents are converted away to the new tools I now use for all new documents! Then it will get punted permanently ... 27+ years after I first began using it! [/off-topic rant] ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Is there a way to get around the issue of a book not allowing the same file more than once?
John, You create a book of text insets that have the same conditions, tags, etc. as your the file into which you want to pull the insets - the container files. Then you only have to point to/pull in the same inset multiple times. Text insets inherit all the properties of their container files, so it helps to keep the two in synch. I use text insets ALL the time and have written several articles about tips and tricks and how to use them, such as keeping all headings in the container files, not in the text insets. If you want, I can send you the article offline. They are quite handy and easy to use once you get your routine/pattern down.

Re: FrameMaker 2015 Thai formatting
I remember hearing that there is an issue with Thai wrapping in the latest FM. I’m guessing that you’ll need a manual workaround until the issue is fixed with a product update. On Jun 17, 2015, at 11:14 AM, Kate Williams kate.willi...@imprimatur.co.uk wrote: Hi, I’m doing some Thai testing in FrameMaker 2015 and while there are no issues with the text displaying correctly, I’m having trouble with the formatting. The paragraph style is fully justified and where in InDesign, the Thai would follow on until the edge of the frame and then flow on to the next line, in FrameMaker the text is breaking after almost every sentence. If it is a long sentence then it will start on the next line completely, even if there are only one or two characters on the previous line. This is leaving massive gaps in the paragraphs. Any suggestions as to how to stop this from happening so that the text flows normally?
