You can draw a line inside of an anchored frame. Insert the anchored frame as "outside column," move the frame boundaries to be under the text, then draw a line in the anchored frame. If insert the frame this way, the frame will move with the paragraph when you

You’re probably running into an “undocumented feature” that TCS has – there’s a finite path length of around 35 characters that the xrefs to FM files can have before they break in RH. As a test, try taking a copy of your FM source and putting it on your root c:\ drive, then either import or

Took a few years to figure that one out – I would occasionally notice that links that were valid xrefs in my FM source would be dead links in my WebHelp output. From: vwrit...@gmail.com [mailto:vwrit...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of John G Sent: April-30-14 8:33 AM To: Jeff Coatsworth Cc:

The Southwestern Ontario chapter of the STC is hosting Bernard Aschwanden who is giving a talk on What's New in FrameMaker 12 on Tuesday, May 6. I know we've already discussed many of the new features on this list, but if you want the information in one tidy package, want to see a demo in real

You got me thinking about this. Here's some really basic ExtendScript code that will iterate over all markers and check the text of message URL Hypertext markers to see if they are valid files (on the local file system). This would need to be cleaned up a bit to make it useful, but definitely

I’ll mention that this is precisely the problem with FM8/RH9 that I ran into a month or two ago. Adobe was proactive in reaching out to me offline (woot!), but the eventual answer was (paraphrased) “It’s a bug. You need to upgrade.” Not helpful with my company’s current cashflow. The

There’s also another similar bug out there that involves text insets. If your doc has xrefs, then a text inset, then more xrefs after it, the xrefs before the text inset will be turned into working hyperlinks, but the ones after the text inset will fail in much the same way as the “too long

John and Scott (and Rick), I have a sample ExtendScript that uses the Socket object, called NETWORK_-_Retrieve_text_over_network.jsx. It retrieves text from a webpage and sticks it into a document. It could be easily modified to just look for the 200 OK message. All in all, this would be a very

Linking between different PDF files, for example files in a document collection, can be very useful, but can also be tricky, and labor-intensive if done in the PDFs after creation. This webinar demonstrates how to create/control cross-file links and bookmarks in PDFs and covers the FrameMaker
