Unavailable font in BOOK file (not in book's files)

[Mark Lehmann]

The Font is not available message appears when I open a particular 
book file — repeat, book file only. (Then when I then open the book 
file's files, they all open cleanly.) [FM10, Win7 SP3]

Any ideas about how to fix this (apart from creating a new book file)?

I've tried saving the book file as a MIF, but FrameMaker crashes when I 
click the Save button.


Also:
• Should I be able to save a book file as a MIF (so that I can rummage 
around in it)?
• Is Remember Missing Font Names specific to the individual file, or 
to the FM installation? (I need to distribute this book file.)
• I thought only Numbering and Pagination information was saved in a 
book file; now it seems that font information is in there as well. What 
else is saved in a book file?

Is there a way to link from a FrameMaker file to a destination in a PDF file?

[Duncan, Gary]

Hi, everyone,

How can I link from a Frame file to a destination within a PDF file? I am able 
to link from Frame to a PDF using the Message Client command (message open file 
name of pdf). I tried adding the HTML syntax #name of destination in PDF, 
but the link becomes dead and also does not process through WebWorks as a 
successful hyperlink. Any suggestions or is this impossible?
Thank you,

Hi, Duncan:

I also recommend that you ask WebWorks ePublisher questions on the wwp-users 
Yahoo Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users/). If you do, make 
sure you state what your input files are (eg, FM 10), what version of 
ePublisher you use (eg, 2012.4), and what output you create (eg, Reverb).

However, check out this article on the WebWorks site and see if that answers 
your question.

RE: Is there a way to link from a FrameMaker file to a destination in a PDF file?

[Duncan, Gary]

Thank you, Nadine. I was wondering if I could expand the openfile command with 
a destination that I create in the PDF. What I want to do can be done in HTML 
by adding #name of destination to the hyperlink syntax. I wondered if that 
could be done in Frame using the hypertext marker commands or some other way. 
So, this isn't a WebWorks question...yet.

You can do that in a URL with the #nameddest= option but I don't know of a

Crash on Using Horizontal Scroll Bar

[Karen Robbins]

Moving the horizontal scroll bar results in a crash with the standard 
error message that FM (11) has to shut down. Sometimes after 
restarting the horizontal scroll bar behaves itself; other times, it 
does not.


I am not doing a particular task immediately before; it can happen 
after first opening a document, after a task, whenever. Obviously it 
occurs mostly in zoom views when the scroll bar is more likely to 
come into play.


Is this a known issue and is there a solution?

Thanks,
Karen

How to set up a Running H/F to call a paratag from a previous file

[Carol J. Elkins]

The Running H/F in my master page calls for a paratag  like this:
Running H/F 2 $paratext[H2 SubTitle]

I have child pages (each a separate file) that use that same master 
page, but because they are child pages, they don't have their own [H2 
Sub Title] paratag anywhere in the file. I want that Running H/F to 
locate the last instance of the paratag, which would be on the parent 
page, which is in a previous file. In other words, I want it to look 
backward instead of forward.


You can tell Frame to look backward for a paratag in the same file, 
but I can't find any mention in Frame11 Help about looking backward 
for a paratag in a previous file.


Is this even possible? If so, how do I revise the Running H/F 2 call 
to that paratag so that it works as described?


If not, then I know I will need to move all of the child pages into 
the same file as the parent page that contains the [H2 Sub Title] 
paratag. But there are hundreds of them and I'd rather not.

As Matt suggested, you can fake it with xrefs (but note that they'll be 
hyperlinks) or define a user variable for it. Alternatively, if each child 
page is in its own file, you could import its contents (text flow) into the 
main file as a text inset. Of course, that might initially be about as much 
work as moving the child pages into the main file. 

I guess the best approach depends on why the content in these child pages was 
put into separate files to begin with (and whether that reason is still 
pertinent).

RE: How to set up a Running H/F to call a paratag from a previous file

[Carol J. Elkins]

The reason that the child pages are in individual files is because 
the client isn't sure yet how he wants to organize the content of the 
book. Hundreds of diagrams that could be grouped in various ways. To 
remain flexible, it made sense to create individual files that I 
could organize at the book level.


Xrefs and variables won't work in this situation because I really 
want this automated. If I organize a set of child pages one way at 
first and define a variable representing the parent, if the child 
moves to a different parent, then I'll have to change perhaps dozens 
of variables. I'll see what Rick Quatro can come up with in terms of scripting.


Thanks everyone for such speedy responses. I was twiddling thumbs for 
a whole 5 minutes before your ideas came back to me. You are great!

RE: Unavailable font in BOOK file (not in book's files)

[Craig Ede]

The crash on SaveAs mif is a bad sign. Yes, you should be able to saveAs MIF
and that should clean the file of information like this that is a holdover
from the previous state(s) of the book. The crash is indicative of some sort
of corruption.

The book file will store font information used in the files within it and
can maintain this information after fonts have been removed from these
files. That is cleaned up when it is saved as MIF and then opening and
saving the MIF as a fm book file. So it is probably a good idea to rebuild
the book.

Remember Missing Font Names is specific to the FrameMaker installation and
can be toggled off and on as needed. I usually leave it activated, for
obvious reasons. Since no fonts are actually used in a book file since
there is no text that will be printed from that container itself, it can't
have any effect on the printed output, but it will result in an entry in the
console window. That can be ignored.

OT: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only

[Alan T Litchfield]

Indeed, yes.

Adobe have steadily reduced the value of their products in favour of increasing 
marketing expenditure (e.g. the "standardised" UI) and PR, and feature bloat in 
place of stability and quality software. Now, to increase value for 
stockholders and to shore up the bottom line, they need to gouge their customer 
base. It is us, the customer base, that have been filling the value void for 
too long.

Is there a way to link from a FrameMaker file to a destination in a PDF file?

[Duncan, Gary]

Hi, everyone,

How can I link from a Frame file to a destination within a PDF file? I am able 
to link from Frame to a PDF using the Message Client command (message open file

Is there a way to link from a FrameMaker file to a destination in a PDF file?

[Writer]

Hi, Duncan:

I also recommend that you ask WebWorks ePublisher questions on the wwp-users 
Yahoo Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users/). If you do, make 
sure you state what your input files are (eg, FM 10), what version of 
ePublisher you use (eg, 2012.4), and what output you create (eg, Reverb).

However, check out this article on the WebWorks site and see if that answers 
your question.

Is there a way to link from a FrameMaker file to a destination in a PDF file?

[Duncan, Gary]

Thank you, Nadine. I was wondering if I could expand the openfile command with 
a destination that I create in the PDF. What I want to do can be done in HTML 
by adding # to the hyperlink syntax. I wondered if that 
could be done in Frame using the hypertext marker commands or some other way. 
So, this isn't a WebWorks question...yet.

You can do that in a URL with the #nameddest= option but I don't know of a

server?

Crash on Using Horizontal Scroll Bar

[Karen Robbins]

Moving the horizontal scroll bar results in a crash with the standard 
error message that FM (11) has to shut down. Sometimes after 
restarting the horizontal scroll bar behaves itself; other times, it 
does not.

I am not doing a particular task immediately before; it can happen 
after first opening a document, after a task, whenever. Obviously it 
occurs mostly in zoom views when the scroll bar is more likely to 
come into play.

Is this a known issue and is there a solution?

Thanks,
Karen

How to set up a Running H/F to call a paratag from a previous file

[Carol J. Elkins]

The Running H/F in my master page calls for a paratag  like this:


I have child pages (each a separate file) that use that same master 
page, but because they are child pages, they don't have their own [H2 
Sub Title] paratag anywhere in the file. I want that Running H/F to 
locate the last instance of the paratag, which would be on the parent 
page, which is in a previous file. In other words, I want it to look 
backward instead of forward.

You can tell Frame to look backward for a paratag in the same file, 
but I can't find any mention in Frame11 Help about looking backward 
for a paratag in a previous file.

Is this even possible? If so, how do I revise the Running H/F 2 call 
to that paratag so that it works as described?

If not, then I know I will need to move all of the child pages into 
the same file as the parent page that contains the [H2 Sub Title] 
paratag. But there are hundreds of them and I'd rather not.

As Matt suggested, you can fake it with xrefs (but note that they'll be 
hyperlinks) or define a user variable for it. Alternatively, if each "child 
page" is in its own file, you could import its contents (text flow) into the 
main file as a text inset. Of course, that might initially be about as much 
work as moving the "child pages" into the main file. 

I guess the best approach depends on why the content in these "child pages" was 
put into separate files to begin with (and whether that reason is still 
pertinent).

How to set up a Running H/F to call a paratag from a previous file

[Carol J. Elkins]

The reason that the child pages are in individual files is because 
the client isn't sure yet how he wants to organize the content of the 
book. Hundreds of diagrams that could be grouped in various ways. To 
remain flexible, it made sense to create individual files that I 
could organize at the book level.

Xrefs and variables won't work in this situation because I really 
want this automated. If I organize a set of child pages one way at 
first and define a variable representing the "parent," if the child 
moves to a different parent, then I'll have to change perhaps dozens 
of variables. I'll see what Rick Quatro can come up with in terms of scripting.

Thanks everyone for such speedy responses. I was twiddling thumbs for 
a whole 5 minutes before your ideas came back to me. You are great!

Unavailable font in BOOK file (not in book's files)

[Craig Ede]

The crash on SaveAs mif is a bad sign. Yes, you should be able to saveAs MIF
and that should clean the file of information like this that is a holdover
from the previous state(s) of the book. The crash is indicative of some sort
of corruption.

The book file will store font information used in the files within it and
can maintain this information after fonts have been removed from these
files. That is cleaned up when it is saved as MIF and then opening and
saving the MIF as a fm book file. So it is probably a good idea to rebuild
the book.

"Remember Missing Font Names" is specific to the FrameMaker installation and
can be toggled off and on as needed. I usually leave it activated, for
obvious reasons. Since no fonts are actually "used" in a book file since
there is no text that will be printed from that container itself, it can't
have any effect on the printed output, but it will result in an entry in the
console window. That can be ignored.

The "Font is not available" message appears when I open a particular book

they all open cleanly.) [FM10, Win7 SP3] Any ideas about how to fix this
(apart from creating a new book file)?

I've tried saving the book file as a MIF, but FrameMaker crashes when I
click the Save button.

Also:
. Should I be able to save a book file as a MIF (so that I can rummage
around in it)?
. Is "Remember Missing Font Names" specific to the individual file, or to
the FM installation? (I need to distribute this book file.) . I thought only
Numbering and Pagination information was saved in a book file; now it seems
that font information is in there as well. What else is saved in a book
file?

That would be the solution, but it appears the book file is corrupt. Your best
