Searching for paragraph tags
I am working with a document design that uses lead-in (non-indented) and run-on (indented) paragraph types. The design calls for lead-in paragraphs after figures, tables and so on: run-one paragraphs should only occur after a lead-in or another run-on paragraph. The documents are not structured. Because a figure or table can float away from its anchor during pagination, this can result in invalid sequences of paragraph tags, such as two consecutive lead-in paragraphs. Obviously FrameMaker allows you to search by paragraph tag... but is there any way to search for a sequence of the same two consecutive paragraph tags? -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

Re: Adobe Acrobat 8
Yes. I find that I need to regularly (every few days) delete c:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT and restart to avoid FrameMaker crashes and text drop-outs when generating PDF.

Is 3D Distiller required to process U3D files in FM 8 ?
Art, You wrote: >... the question on the table is whether Acrobat 8 Pro can take 3D output >from Frame and generate a 3D >PDF... * Distiller 7 and later versions support embedding of U3D files in PDFs. The authoring application does not matter for this process, as long as the 3D data is defined properly in the PS file being distilled. I'm not aware of any differences between the Distiller application included with Acrobat Professional and Acrobat 3D (or even Acrobat Standard). * Make sure that in File > Preferences, the "Don't embed 3D model file in PDF" preference is turned off. * Are you using "Save as PDF"? Support for the embedding of U3D files in PDFs in FrameMaker 8.0 only works when using "Save as PDF" (when printing to a PS file and distilling, an inactive bitmap of the 3D model is displayed). * Are there any 3D-related messages in the console?
