OT: Acrobat 8 freezes Frame after motherboard rebuild

After my motherboard went feral, I had to rebuild with a new motherboard, cpu, video card, etc. XP Pro had to be coerced into working again, but it was OK. But my Acrobat Pro 8 installation now refuses to make PDFs using either FM 8 or 7.1 with either Save As or print to PostScript. After a sho

Re: Menu name

We've called them a "tree menu" in the past. That gets 944000 hits on google. Seems to be a javascript term. "Expanding menu" is also a javascript term but looks like it's not for those +/- menus. Cheers, Rebecca >>> "Flato, Gillian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/04/08 06:24 >>> Does anyone know what

Text Inset Problem with TortoiseSVN

You would not need to get locks for any text insets. Just the main document (unless you are making changes to the text inset itself). With multiple writers it's good practice to use the exclusive lock feature of SVN with FrameMaker files. SVN can't merge FrameMaker's binary files and manually mer

I've used TortoiseSVN with my FrameMaker files (along with my insets) for a couple of years and have not had any problems. Some thoughts: + Are the files stored on a server or locally? If they're on a server, are the writers using mapped drives? Are the drives mapped with the same drive letter (e.

Hi Mollye, I have a FrameScript script that will rename table formats. So you could rename the formats that you are trying to eliminate to the ones you want to keep. When the script renames the formats, it will delete the old name from the table catalog. The script is controlled by a simple IN
