Dear Framers

For a non-color book, FrameMaker offers you several ways of creating 
half-tones. For example, you can:

. Use the predefined Grays library in the color picker

. Create your own gray from C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:whatever

. Use a percentage black fill on an object, such as a graphic or a table cell

There may be more. My question is, what is the recommended technique that will 
result is a pre-press PDF that doesn't demand extra plates? 

Or doesn't it matter?

I believe if you set your Adobe printer / Distiller job preferences to
black and white (turn off color), it doesn't matter.  Color plates
would only be generated if you had color On.

Missing font in FM although it shows fine in Word?


Hi All,

In our current templates, we have a character tag called EmphasisBold that 
specifies everything As Is except Angle==Italic and Weight==Bold. This seems 
like a logical way to have a flexible character tag. However, the paragraph 
formats that are used in the body of the documents (all but the various Heading 
level tags) all use Minion Web as the font family, and this seems to be 
creating a problem. If we use Word, type some text using Minion Web font family 
and apply bold+italic, it's not a problem. It displays (and prints) exactly as 
one might anticipate a bold italic version of Minion Web font to look. The 
problem is, when the EmphasisBold (bold+italic) char tag is applied to any text 
in an FM file that uses the Minion Web font family, FM generates the 
unavailable font error and displays it instead as italic Minion Web in 
regular weight (sans bold).

I'm guessing it's something about the differences in virtual handling of fonts 
between MS and Adobe, but I have no idea what the solution would be. I did 
research the Minion Web font at Adobe, and it looks to me like there's not a 
bold italic version in that font, which I found surprising. So, can someone 
please explain to me what's going on and suggest some options for a solution? I 
wouldn't know where to begin to find a similar-looking font to Minion to use as 
a sub for that char tag...if there such a place/function even exists. 
(Obviously, I'm no typesetter...)

Thanks,

Establishing a connection to WebWorks in FrameMaker 7.2

2006-11-01 Thread Tamsin Douglas

Hi All,

 

Apologies if this has already been covered in the list - I couldn't find it
in the archives. I have WebWorks Publisher Pro 8 and recently installed
FrameMaker 7.2. Unlike my version of Frame 7.1, the menu item for WebWorks
does not appear when I launch Frame 7.2. I am wondering if I need to
re-install or modify the FrameMaker registry keys. I do not want to install
the WebWorks Standard edition that is bundled with FrameMaker 7.2. Any help
or insight with this would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Re: Establishing a connection to WebWorks in FrameMaker 7.2

You'll have to get an update for WWP Pro 8 from Quadralay. They provide it as a 
.msi file. Then you'll need to uninstall WWP, install from the .msi, and 
possibly edit the HKEY in your Windows Registry. Quadralay has a KnowledgeBase 
article about it, and I think you can download the update file from their 
Support site, but you'll have to call/email Quadralay customer service for an 
updated license key to work with the .msi file. 

Hope that helps,
Rene Stephenson

Rene - You have more or less explained what I think is going on. When you
select a face in Word for a font that doesn't actually *have* that face, Word
synthesises it, in the case of italics by slanting the Roman face, and Bold by
emboldening the Roman face, so I guess bold italic by doing both. The results
are usually ghastly. Word does this silently. In fact, if the correct face *is*
present, it can sometimes be hard to get Word to use it in response to the 'I'
or 'B' buttons, which are actually the Spawn of the Devil and should be
removed, as they encourage people to use local mark-up instead of the correct
Way of the Styles ;-)

Right, now FrameMaker. Until recently, I would have said that FrameMaker does
the correct thing: if a face is not present in a font, such as in your case
Minion Bold Italic, FrameMaker gives you a 'missing font warning' and does
nothing else. Hence, in this case, Bold Italics would show up as Romans.
However, I have recently seen FrameMaker synthesize an italic - but it did give
a missing font warning too. So in my recent experience, FrameMaker is a little
non-deterministic here, because I've also seen it leave all italics as Romans
where the Italic face was absent. This behavior may vary between versions
and/or platforms. The point is that it tells you that there is a missing font.

Does this help at all?

You can find Minion Bold Italic here:

The Minion Pro family has both bold and semibold italic faces. Minion
Web is based on that, just optimized for on-line use -- thicker serifs
and some line weights. A boldface would benefit less from such
optimization (which may explain why it's not included), so you should be
able to use one of the Minion Pro faces just fine. You may even be able
to map it in maker.ini (if you're on Windows) so that your existing char
format works. 

HTH!

Maybe FM should remove the B and I and U buttons from the interface, too, since

RE: Missing font in FM although it shows fine in Word? - Global change?

As a follow-on to this topic, our proper solution would probably be to update 
all the relevant paragraph formats in all the templates to use Minion Pro 
rather than Minion Web. I don't suppose anyone would know of a quick way to do 
this en masse? 

I have ways to remap formats to new formats using a plugin from Silicon Prairie 
(Paragraph conversion) or a script from Rick Quatro 
(FindChangeFormatsBatch.fsl), but I don't know of a way to just change the font 
family in a list of paragraph formats. Any recommendations/ideas??

Caution: My previous font-mapping experience has been mostly
trial-and-error; I'm sure others are better-qualified in this area. 

The line you propose may or may not work. I think it'll depend on what
FM does about the Minion Web faces that _are_ found -- will it ignore
the above mapping (which uses wildcards for all variations) for the
angles and weights that exist, or will it replace everything with the
Minion Pro equivalent? I can't say. 

You might need: 

Minion Web, Italic, Bold, *=Minion Pro, Italic, Semibold [or Bold --
your choice], *

Or something else entirely. :-)

You can eliminate those buttons, the Format  Style menu, the keyboard
shortcuts -- indeed, all the different ways of changing formatting
except the Designers and the pgf and char catalogs. You just have to
spend some time customizing the interface. See the Customizing
FrameMaker manual (in the OnlineManuals subdirectory of your FM
installation) for instructions. 

I started with the FM customizations from Microtype.com (highly
recommended) and then made further changes to remove ad hoc formatting
controls. 

Once you have custom MyToolbar.ini and MyCustomUI.cfg files (either from
Microtype or by creating your own and installing them via maker.ini),
the additional toolbar changes are pretty simple: 

-- Comment out (precede with a semicolon) all instances of the
formatting buttons, e.g.: 

;6=ICON  , ToolBar1Plain  , StylePlain
;7=ICON  , ToolBar1Bold   , StyleBold
;8=ICON  , ToolBar1Italic , StyleItalic
;9=ICON  , ToolBar1Underline  , StyleUnderline
;10=ICON , ToolBar1IncFont, IncFontSize
;11=ICON , ToolBar1DecFont, DecFontSize
;12=SEPERATOR, 5

-- Disable the alignment, spacing, font, and size controls:

AlignmentPopup=Off
SpacingPopup=Off

FontChoice=Off
SizePopup=Off

AlignWell=Off ; already off in Shlomo's kit
SpacingWell=Off ; already off in Shlomo's kit

The MyCustomUI.cfg changes are more extensive, mainly to deal with a
plethora of formatting keyboard shortcuts. I mapped all the char
formatting shortcuts (such as Ctrl+B) to the CharacterCatalog command,
which opens the char catalog. The pgf formatting shortcuts are mapped to
the ParagraphCatalog command. I also removed a number of menu items. If
anyone's interested, email me and I'll send a text file containing the
changes.

Re: Redefining multiple pgf formats (was RE: Missing font in FM although it shows fine in Word? - Global change?)

That's a valid point. We're delivering content as PDF primarily. Most of our 
users like to have the docs available as soft copies but prefer to work from 
printed copies, sometimes only printing pages relevant to their current task or 
an unfamiliar task. 

The web content that we deliver is created with WWP Pro, so it would use the 
fonts specified in the associated WWP template, regardless of what we change in 
the FM templates, because we don't use pass-through formatting anywhere.

I guess I'll try the Global Update route for now.

Thanks for the tip about Generate Format Samples. In conjunction with Generate 
Paragraph Tag Report (SP), this tool will also serve as a quick way to get the 
necessary information for updating our Standards  Styles Guide. ;-) I'll 
submit that purchase req!

  You seem to have stumbled on a rather bizarre FM bug. Consider the 
following XML document:


!DOCTYPE test [
!ELEMENT test (bug)
!ATTLIST test test NMTOKENS #REQUIRED
!ELEMENT bug EMPTY
!ATTLIST bug
  test NMTOKENS #REQUIRED
  other NMTOKENS xxx

]
test test=cat dog
bug test=rose daisy/
/test

It is reasonable to expect the test attribute of the test element to be 
treated the same way as the test attribute of the bug element. However, the 
attribute on test is interpreted as two strings while that on bug as only one.


Furthermore, the significant difference seems to be the definition of the 
other attribute. If the definition of that attribute is removed, bug's test 
attribute is processed correctly. The order of the two attribute 
definitions in the declaration does not matter. If the default value of 
other is changed to #IMPLIED or #REQUIRED, then test imports correctly.


I've tested on Windows in FM 7.2p158 and 7.1b023.

Daniel,
  Yes, you want the attribute type in the DTD to be NMTOKENS. And,I have 
no idea if you've done the wrong thing!

Acrobat forms - Digital signatures

2006-11-01 Thread Gillian Flato

I know this is off-topic but maybe someone here has experience with
this.
 
In Acrobat Designer, I created a form and inserted a signature field. In
my PDF, I created a digital signature for myself and to other people.
When I send the PDF to them, who only have Acrobat Reader 7.0, they
can't sign the form. When they click on the field, nothing happens,
whereas in my version, it opens a dialog and lets me create a signature.
 
Even after they create a signature through Adobe Reader  Document 
Security Settings  Add ID, they are still unable to digitally sign the
form.
 
Can anyone help? 
 

Thank you,

A lighter shade of pale

Dear Framers

For a non-color book, FrameMaker offers you several ways of creating 
half-tones. For example, you can:

. Use the predefined Grays library in the color picker

. Create your own gray from C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:whatever

. Use a percentage black fill on an object, such as a graphic or a table cell

There may be more. My question is, what is the recommended technique that will 
result is a pre-press PDF that doesn't demand extra plates? 

Or doesn't it matter?

I believe if you set your Adobe printer / Distiller job preferences to

would only be generated if you had color On.

Missing font in FM although it shows fine in Word?


Hi All,

In our current templates, we have a character tag called EmphasisBold that 
specifies everything "As Is" except Angle==Italic and Weight==Bold. This seems 
like a logical way to have a flexible character tag. However, the paragraph 
formats that are used in the body of the documents (all but the various Heading 
level tags) all use Minion Web as the font family, and this seems to be 
creating a problem. If we use Word, type some text using Minion Web font family 
and apply bold+italic, it's not a problem. It displays (and prints) exactly as 
one might anticipate a bold italic version of Minion Web font to look. The 
problem is, when the EmphasisBold (bold+italic) char tag is applied to any text 
in an FM file that uses the Minion Web font family, FM generates the 
"unavailable font" error and displays it instead as italic Minion Web in 
regular weight (sans bold).

I'm guessing it's something about the differences in virtual handling of fonts 
between MS and Adobe, but I have no idea what the solution would be. I did 
research the Minion Web font at Adobe, and it looks to me like there's not a 
bold italic version in that font, which I found surprising. So, can someone 
please explain to me what's going on and suggest some options for a solution? I 
wouldn't know where to begin to find a similar-looking font to Minion to use as 
a sub for that char tag...if there such a place/function even exists. 
(Obviously, I'm no typesetter...)

Establishing a connection to WebWorks in FrameMaker 7.2

2006-11-01 Thread Tamsin Douglas

Hi All,



Apologies if this has already been covered in the list - I couldn't find it
in the archives. I have WebWorks Publisher Pro 8 and recently installed
FrameMaker 7.2. Unlike my version of Frame 7.1, the menu item for WebWorks
does not appear when I launch Frame 7.2. I am wondering if I need to
re-install or modify the FrameMaker registry keys. I do not want to install
the WebWorks Standard edition that is bundled with FrameMaker 7.2. Any help
or insight with this would be most appreciated.

Establishing a connection to WebWorks in FrameMaker 7.2

You'll have to get an update for WWP Pro 8 from Quadralay. They provide it as a 
.msi file. Then you'll need to uninstall WWP, install from the .msi, and 
possibly edit the HKEY in your Windows Registry. Quadralay has a KnowledgeBase 
article about it, and I think you can download the update file from their 
Support site, but you'll have to call/email Quadralay customer service for an 
updated license key to work with the .msi file. 

Hope that helps,
Rene Stephenson

Rene - You have more or less explained what I think is going on. When you 
select a face in Word for a font that doesn't actually *have* that face, Word 
synthesises it, in the case of italics by slanting the Roman face, and Bold by 
emboldening the Roman face, so I guess bold italic by doing both. The results 
are usually ghastly. Word does this silently. In fact, if the correct face *is* 
present, it can sometimes be hard to get Word to use it in response to the 'I' 
or 'B' buttons, which are actually the Spawn of the Devil and should be 
removed, as they encourage people to use local mark-up instead of the correct 
Way of the Styles ;-)

Right, now FrameMaker. Until recently, I would have said that FrameMaker does 
the correct thing: if a face is not present in a font, such as in your case 
Minion Bold Italic, FrameMaker gives you a 'missing font warning' and does 
nothing else. Hence, in this case, Bold Italics would show up as Romans. 
However, I have recently seen FrameMaker synthesize an italic - but it did give 
a missing font warning too. So in my recent experience, FrameMaker is a little 
non-deterministic here, because I've also seen it leave all italics as Romans 
where the Italic face was absent. This behavior may vary between versions 
and/or platforms. The point is that it tells you that there is a missing font.

Does this help at all?

You can find Minion Bold Italic here:

Word simulates the bold italic (by overlaying a slightly offset second
copy of the italic glyphs). Some people find the results tolerable,
others become slightly nauseated. OK, maybe I exaggerate... In any case,
FM is far too prim and proper for such ugly fakery. ;-)

The Minion Pro family has both bold and semibold italic faces. Minion
Web is based on that, just optimized for on-line use -- thicker serifs
and some line weights. A boldface would benefit less from such
optimization (which may explain why it's not included), so you should be
able to use one of the Minion Pro faces just fine. You may even be able
to map it in maker.ini (if you're on Windows) so that your existing char
format works. 

HTH!

Missing font in FM although it shows fine in Word? - Global change?

As a follow-on to this topic, our "proper" solution would probably be to update 
all the relevant paragraph formats in all the templates to use Minion Pro 
rather than Minion Web. I don't suppose anyone would know of a quick way to do 
this en masse? 

I have ways to remap formats to new formats using a plugin from Silicon Prairie 
(Paragraph conversion) or a script from Rick Quatro 
(FindChangeFormatsBatch.fsl), but I don't know of a way to just change the font 
family in a list of paragraph formats. Any recommendations/ideas??

Caution: My previous font-mapping experience has been mostly
trial-and-error; I'm sure others are better-qualified in this area. 

The line you propose may or may not work. I think it'll depend on what
FM does about the Minion Web faces that _are_ found -- will it ignore
the above mapping (which uses wildcards for all variations) for the
angles and weights that exist, or will it replace everything with the
Minion Pro equivalent? I can't say. 

You might need: 

Minion Web, Italic, Bold, *=Minion Pro, Italic, Semibold [or Bold --
your choice], *

Or something else entirely. :-)

If you create instances of all the pgf formats you want to change, one
after the other, you can select all those pgfs. Then in Paragraph
Designer, change the font family and click Commands > Global Update
Options. In the dialog, select All Matching Tags in Selection and click
Update. 

I only know of one shortcut way of creating all the pgf instances:
Enhance (www.sandybrook.com/enhance) has a Generate Format Samples
command that does exactly that. I think you can download a free trial. 

But are you sure that's the proper solution? If you're delivering web
content, the Minion Web regular, and especially italic, faces will be
easier to read than the Pro versions.

Disabling ad hoc formatting controls in FM

You can eliminate those buttons, the Format > Style menu, the keyboard
shortcuts -- indeed, all the different ways of changing formatting
except the Designers and the pgf and char catalogs. You just have to
spend some time customizing the interface. See the Customizing
FrameMaker manual (in the OnlineManuals subdirectory of your FM
installation) for instructions. 

I started with the FM customizations from Microtype.com (highly
recommended) and then made further changes to remove ad hoc formatting
controls. 

Once you have custom MyToolbar.ini and MyCustomUI.cfg files (either from
Microtype or by creating your own and installing them via maker.ini),
the additional toolbar changes are pretty simple: 

-- Comment out (precede with a semicolon) all instances of the
formatting buttons, e.g.: 

;6=ICON  , ToolBar1Plain  , StylePlain
;7=ICON  , ToolBar1Bold   , StyleBold
;8=ICON  , ToolBar1Italic , StyleItalic
;9=ICON  , ToolBar1Underline  , StyleUnderline
;10=ICON , ToolBar1IncFont, IncFontSize
;11=ICON , ToolBar1DecFont, DecFontSize
;12=SEPERATOR, 5

-- Disable the alignment, spacing, font, and size controls:

AlignmentPopup=Off
SpacingPopup=Off

FontChoice=Off
SizePopup=Off

AlignWell=Off ; already off in Shlomo's kit
SpacingWell=Off ; already off in Shlomo's kit

The MyCustomUI.cfg changes are more extensive, mainly to deal with a
plethora of formatting keyboard shortcuts. I mapped all the char
formatting shortcuts (such as Ctrl+B) to the CharacterCatalog command,
which opens the char catalog. The pgf formatting shortcuts are mapped to
the ParagraphCatalog command. I also removed a number of menu items. If
anyone's interested, email me and I'll send a text file containing the
changes.
