RE: FM8 8 error message when importing *.png file

[Simon BUCH]

Hello,

I have had similar problems with documents, importing PNG graphics that
were colour depth of 24 bit or 32bit RGB - which would occasionally give
your error message, but most often would often silently crash
FrameMaker!

If my memory serves me well, I think the problematic PNG files had been
created by Adobe Illustrator.

As the graphics were grayscale, I simply reduced the palette to 8 bit,
and saved as PNG.   My favourite [Windows] application for simple
changes to graphics has to be Irfanview - small, simple, and doesn't
even need to be installed.

Regards
// Simon BUCH

Subject: FM8 8 error message when importing *.png file

I am using FM 8.0p277 (installed as part of TCS 1) on Win XP Pro.

In the recent past I have had no problem importing *.png graphic files
into
FrameMaker 8.

Today I tried to import a *.png file and received an error message:
The
filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation. I
can
import files in other formats such as *.jpg.

I had a quick look on the Adobe support forum, but the only references
to
this error message appear to be related to importing PDF documents into
FrameMaker 7.

Any ideas for resolving this issue would be gratefully received.

Thanks

David

RE: Client Needs FrameMaker -- Eclipse Help provider

[Fei Min Lorente]

OMG. A week to ship? Good luck!

Okay, let's be constructive. I would recommend trying the Eclipse User
Assistance Technical writers list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eclipse_tw/. That's where lots of people
who turn FrameMaker into Eclipse Help hang out, but a week is short
notice. Seriously, good luck.

Re: FM8 8 error message when importing *.png file

[Steve Johnson]

Can you import the same file into another application? Try saving the
png as a jpg and importing that. Any other pngs you have problems
with?

I wonder if the file wasn't written properly or (less likely) if it
has a bit depth that's too large for Frame to handle.

  I think Art is on the right track for a solution. I seem to recall some
 previous discussions of some version(s) of FM having a problem with one
 specific PNG color depth option, and the solution was to resave the graphic

 applications (e.g. Snagit) whould work as well as any phancy photo phiddler
 (e.g. PhotoShop) you might have available to you.

  If everything else is working, I'd open the .png with a photo editor
 other
  than the one you used to create it and do a SaveAs PNG again, and try the
  import a second time with the new file.
 
  Most times when I've had a problem importing graphics, it's turned out to
 be
  a problem with the source graphic file...
 
  And if your system's been up a while, it wouldn't hurt to clear and

Re: Client Needs FrameMaker -- Eclipse Help provider

Shouldn't be a big deal -- Eclipse is a standard format. You could use
either MIF2Go (www.omsys.com) or RoboHelp (part of the TCS2) to generate the
code. (Provided, of course, that they/you have already identified what goes
into the help.)

Contact me off-list if you want to farm it out.

RE: Client Needs FrameMaker -- Eclipse Help provider

[mathieu jacquet]

Dear Tori,

I am a rookie but could nevertheless set up a Frame to EclipseHelp pretty 
easily using Mif2Go (with some tremendous help from Jeremy of the omsys support 
team). The thing is that we needed the whole content to be generated as an 
EclipseHelp, which made things easier.

Cheers,
Mathieu.

Converting HTML to structured FrameMaker

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hello All

We have a legacy Help system, authored in Robohelp, so all the original content 
is HTML. We would like to import the HTML into FrameMaker, preferably 
structured, preferably DITA. There are about 300 pages involved.

I'm wondering if one route would be HTML  XHTML, and then some kind of a 
transform to DITA XML. However, I'm not optimistic about consistency of tagging 
in the HTML.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: paragraph tag report?

The Format List plugin, part of the Squidds Toolbox is the best at this.

Unlike the other suggestions, it puts the results in a table, so that
you 
can look at all your paragraph formats in a glance. Scanning a row will
tell 
you the definition of a given tag. Scanning a column will compare the 
setting in all the tags.

Unfortunately, the Squids site is an awful mess. It's a German site with

English translations that make it even worse. So finding what you want
there 
is pure hell. You can buy the whole Toolbox or just the individual
tools, 
but finding the list of individual modules isn't easy-- and every time I
do, 
they change the danged links! Here's a link for the whole Toolbox, with
old 
versions at the bottom of the page. You'll have to hunt on your own to
find 
the individual modules, since they are no longer in the location I had 
linked. Format List is worth it, if you can find it.

FM8 8 error message when importing *.png file

[Simon BUCH]

Hello,

I have had similar problems with documents, importing PNG graphics that
were colour depth of 24 bit or 32bit RGB - which would occasionally give
your error message, but most often would often silently crash
FrameMaker!

If my memory serves me well, I think the problematic PNG files had been
created by Adobe Illustrator.

As the graphics were grayscale, I simply reduced the palette to 8 bit,
and saved as PNG.   My favourite [Windows] application for simple
changes to graphics has to be Irfanview - small, simple, and doesn't
even need to be installed.

Regards
// Simon BUCH

Subject: FM8 8 error message when importing *.png file

I am using FM 8.0p277 (installed as part of TCS 1) on Win XP Pro.

In the recent past I have had no problem importing *.png graphic files
into
FrameMaker 8.

Today I tried to import a *.png file and received an error message:
"The
filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation." I
can
import files in other formats such as *.jpg.

I had a quick look on the Adobe support forum, but the only references
to
this error message appear to be related to importing PDF documents into
FrameMaker 7.

Any ideas for resolving this issue would be gratefully received.

Thanks

David

Client Needs FrameMaker --> Eclipse Help provider

[Fei Min Lorente]

OMG. A week to ship? Good luck!

Okay, let's be constructive. I would recommend trying the Eclipse User
Assistance Technical writers list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eclipse_tw/. That's where lots of people
who turn FrameMaker into Eclipse Help hang out, but a week is short
notice. Seriously, good luck.

My apologies if this is not the sort of post one is supposed to send to 
this list, but there are so many deeply knowledgeable folks here that I 
suspect it would be a far better source of referrals/responses than 
anywhere else we can try.

A client needs someone who can turn FrameMaker manuals into Eclipse 
help. Naturally, they have only informed us of this *now*, a week from 
the software ship date (anyone surprised? No, I didn't think so). 
They've had poor luck using job boards -- a tsunami of 
dubiously-qualified respondents, and not enough time to evaluate.  Any 
recommendations on how to find a provider? I don't think geography is a 
consideration, this could all be done remotely.

Thanks for any recommendations of boards/services/individuals!

Shouldn't be a big deal -- Eclipse is a standard format. You could use
either MIF2Go (www.omsys.com) or RoboHelp (part of the TCS2) to generate the
code. (Provided, of course, that they/you have already identified what goes
into the help.)

Contact me off-list if you want to farm it out.

Cheers,

Client Needs FrameMaker --> Eclipse Help provider

[mathieu jacquet]

Dear Tori,

I am a rookie but could nevertheless set up a Frame to EclipseHelp pretty 
easily using Mif2Go (with some tremendous help from Jeremy of the omsys support 
team). The thing is that we needed the whole content to be generated as an 
EclipseHelp, which made things easier.

Cheers,
Mathieu.

Client Needs FrameMaker --> Eclipse Help provider

[Bill Swallow]

Do they have an existing stylesheet?
Is this context-sensitive?
Do they require set filenames?
Do they have a HAT they want used or is this a one-off project?

While a week *could* be enough time, my experience shows that
generally with a looming deadline over their heads, details are
overlooked by the client given the rush (or detailed questions are
answered incorrectly) and targets get missed.
