Footnote placement improvement for practical and aesthetic reasons

Hi framies: I have submitted a suggestion to Adobe for an improvement (copied below) . I wonder if anyone would support me? Again I am drawing my example from 19th century typesetting. Back to the future department. Here it is: Improvement: Multiple short footnotes on a single line as in

Re: Strange PDF Problem

This issue was raised a few times in the past. In the case discussed below, Martin sent me generic sample files with which the problem was easily reproduced in FM 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2. I'll patiently repeat my recommendation not to use Save as PDF, for this and several other reasons. I fully

RE: Strange PDF Problem

Hi Shlomo, On your web-site you assume that those internal links which point to an explicit file name (even when it's in the same file) are only created via Safe as PDF. Is this true? Can I safely use the manual process FM - PS - PDF instead? By the way, is there a link checking mechanism

Re: Footnote placement improvement for practical and aesthetic reasons

According to the Chicago Manual of Style, which is the bible for most US academic writing, multiple short footnotes may be placed on the same line, but it isn't encouraged. However, I'd put multiples way down on my FM want list, after making the call-and-fix placement fix and a number of other

For those of us writing training docs, Instructional technology documentation uses APA (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). This guide says to place footnotes double-spaced on separate lines. The 19th-century style mentioned was implemented to save paper, and

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

Version control in the sense of configuration management, or version control as in revision control, i.e. the basic storage mechanism needed for configuration management? Depending on the volume of FrameMaker documents and the number of revisions, you can certainly use CVS. We do -- for the

Radha, If you are not anti-Microsoft, you might want to consider Visual SourceSafe. I used it quite successfully in the same environment you describe. VSS can handle large Frame files with no path sensitivity concerns. The check-in/check-out and access permissions processes are fairly easy, and

Re: Footnote placement improvement for practical and aesthetic reasons

As well as allowing multiple short footnotes on a line, Adobe could allow long footnotes to flow from a right to the left following page. It could also balance footnotes on facing pages. If a footnote reference is on a right page, it should flow back a long footnote onto the facing left page.

Yes, ESCsd. (That's three separate keys, the Escape key, lowercase s, lowercase d). Also, on Windows, ShiftF7 will always take you back to the main document. Ian Natalie Bircher wrote: Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle between the main document and structured windows?

Strange PDF Problem

Nancy,

Strange PDF Problem

OK. First off. Then Dianne is right. Changing the file names after the pdf is created will break any links in the pdf, but only for external files that are trying to link to it. Any internal links should be relative and not absolute. Actually, any links should be relative if they relate to a

Background with JPEG

I'm not sure if transparent images are officially supported in FM, but I have been able to do this when there is an occasional need. FrameMaker (5.5 or earlier? through 7.2) has been able to handle a Photoshop EPS image with a clipping path that defines the visible object shape. (Refer to
