Re: Adding a Blank Page Before/After Book Cover

[Christiane Crety \(CC\)]

Hi Angela,

I get a separate pdf from our Marketing dep. containing the front page for my 
manual. 
Here is how I do it:
1. Put an empty page in my FM file where the front page should be.
2. Create the pdf.
3. Open the manual pdf in Acrobat (Standard).
4. Put the cursor in the first page.
5. Select Document  Pages  Replace.
6. Browse to my front page pdf and insert it.

This way I keep the numbering of pages correct. You should be able to do the 
same with your back cover.

If you need to have a completely blank page, you could place a dedicated 
paragraph format on the page. Then in your reference page, assign your blank 
master page to this paragraph format. This way the blank master page will not 
be overwritten by the default Left/Right master pages, but will stay there 
through all your updates.

Hope this helps!

RE: Converting Word doc to Frame

[Ridder, Fred]

Jeez, now you're going to test my memory, because most of
the conversion work I did was more than five years ago when 
I migrated our pubs group from Word to FrameMaker as our 
standard tool.

Our docs were all in Word 95, which meant the macros were
written in Word Basic rather than Visual Basic for Applications,
which I am much less familiar with. I had a flock of separate 
small macros that each did relatively simple operations like:
- removing manual page breaks
- removing empty paragraphs 
- searching for paragraph styles that were not part of the 
standard template 
- searching for manually applied character formatting (i.e.
not using our template's defined character styles)
- removing all autonumbering (done by SEQ codes in Word)
- dealing with annotations, hidden text, and other background
content
- replacing linked graphics with placeholders that identified 
the source file
- removing irrelevant field codes (including *lots* of empty 
index entry fields)
- deleting the Word TOC, LOT, LOF, and index

Then I had a couple of more complex macros that did things
like renaming all the Word styles to the new names that were 
defined in the FrameMaker templates, and converting some
of the fancy stuff we had done on our API reference pages
from the Word implementation to a FrameMaker way of doing
things.  The final macro burst the monolithic Word docs into 
a series of separate files on chapter boundaries. 

The end result was a set of small, clean files that could
be imported into the FrameMaker templates with a minimum
of muss and fuss.  

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Script to upgrade books

[Diana Stock]

Hello all,
Does anyone know of a free FrameScript for upgrading books and saving
all files from an older version of Frame (6  7). This is probably an
easy script to write, if you knew the language. :-)
 
I am running FrameMaker 7.0p579  and have FrameScript 4.0.
 
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

RE: Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

[Joanne Curme]

You can manually link the bookmark to the page with the graphic.

In Acrobat Standard 6.0, display both the Bookmarks list and the pages.
Click on the LOF bookmark that isn't working, then scroll through the pages
until the appropriate page is showing (leaving the bookmark selected). Then
from the Options menu, select Set Bookmark Destination. This will link the
selected bookmark to the displayed page. 

You can also create, delete, rename, and change the level of bookmarks in
the list.

I'm new so please be kind. I work in Frame 7.1b023 with no plug-ins.

 

I have a book file that incorporates multiple 8-1/2 x 11 page size files,
multiple 11 x 17 page size files with cross references within files and from
file to file, stand alone TOCs, LOFs, and LOTs that are generated and then
copied and pasted into the front of the files. The book is then PDF'd with
create hyperlinks turned on.

 

The PDF works great and all the cross references for the TOC, LOF, LOT, from
Frame work in the PDF.

 

The problem is that the 11 x 17 pages (which are figures) end up on 8-1/2 x
11 pages in the book PDF. What I have been doing is going into each of the
11 x 17 files (9 total), and saving each as a stand-alone 11 x 17 PDF. Then
I exchange each new 11 x 17 PDF for the old 8-1/2 x 11 page in the book PDF
file. This works for getting the correct page size, but the link from the
LOF (which is not on the 11 x 17 page) does not work.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make the links work to the 11 x 17
pages?

Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

[Phil Heron]

Carla,

I think you should be able to create a PDF document containing a mixture
of page sizes.

I tried this and it worked first time:

- Create three Frame files, one portrait, one landscape and one a custom
size.
- Create a Frame book containing the three files.
- Print the book to a file, using the Adobe PDF printer and ticking the
"Generate Acrobat Data" box.
- Open the generated PS file with Acrobat Distiller.

Success! A PDF file is created contining a combination of page sizes.

In short:
Make sure you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
Make sure you set "Generate Acrobat Data"

Hope this helps,

Printing a 6 x 9 Manual

[Diane Gaskill]

Just give the printer a standard PDF file with crop marks showing.  Pages in
normal order.  Most vendors have software to rearange the pages for you.
You can also get software to do that on the FrameUsers website,
www.frameusers.com.  Look in the 3rd party tools section.  I think there are
a couple of Framemaker plugins.  Go to this URL

Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

[Art Campbell]

OK, Carla, one two-part idea.

This is, admittedly, a kludge, but you may want to play with the idea

The first part is when you .pdf the job, to specify that each file
prints as a discrete file rather than one large one.

Then print the letter size book. Then print a second copy of the book
to 11x17 page sizes (you can set the page size in the PDF settings).
So you'd end up with two books, one in each size.

Then I'd do the same thing you're doing now, swap the larger "figure"
files in AND also swap in the generated LOF from the large book, which
should contain all the links.

If you have to deliver the .pdf as a single file, you can use Acrobat
to cocatenate the files after they're all working.

Don't know if it'll work, but

Art

Do a pre-cleaning in Word to remove extra carriage returns and any

Save the Word docs as .RTF and open them in FM.
Save the imported files, then save again as .MIF files to remove extra
characters.
Open the MIFs and save them as your working set of files.

Creative Ideas for Developing a Read Me First/Getting Started Card

[Angela Akridge]

I have a fun project. My first Read Me First! Do you think that Illustrator
or Frame is the appropriate format to create a doc like this one?


http://support.yellowmachine.com/support/Lists/Content/Attachments/62/readme_First_293.pdf

Do you refer me to an online resource that shows how to create unique
layouts? I'd like to produce a Read Me First that is more like a poster and
where each square of the poster is a step. Any creative ideas? Oh course,
the content needs to change a lot, so I'd rather invest in the new layout
now.

In Acrobat Standard 6.0, display both the Bookmarks list and the pages.
Click on the LOF bookmark that isn't working, then scroll through the pages
until the appropriate page is showing (leaving the bookmark selected). Then
from the Options menu, select Set Bookmark Destination. This will link the
selected bookmark to the displayed page. 

You can also create, delete, rename, and change the level of bookmarks in
the list.

Subject: Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

I'm new so please be kind. I work in Frame 7.1b023 with no plug-ins.



I have a book file that incorporates multiple 8-1/2 x 11 page size files,
multiple 11 x 17 page size files with cross references within files and from
file to file, stand alone TOCs, LOFs, and LOTs that are generated and then
copied and pasted into the front of the files. The book is then PDF'd with
create hyperlinks turned on.



The PDF works great and all the cross references for the TOC, LOF, LOT, from
Frame work in the PDF.



The problem is that the 11 x 17 pages (which are figures) end up on 8-1/2 x
11 pages in the book PDF. What I have been doing is going into each of the
11 x 17 files (9 total), and saving each as a stand-alone 11 x 17 PDF. Then
I exchange each new 11 x 17 PDF for the old 8-1/2 x 11 page in the book PDF
file. This works for getting the correct page size, but the link from the
LOF (which is not on the 11 x 17 page) does not work.



Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make the links work to the 11 x 17
pages?



Thanks
