Bookmarks and zoom level in PDF
I think I should know how to fix this but apparently not. I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended v 9.4.1. Problem: Bookmarks that I've manually created in a PDF have a different zoom than the bookmarks set for the PDF in Framemaker. For example, I may be viewing a page that displays at 100% and then click a bookmark and the resulting page displays as Fit Height. Setting the View-Zoom level for the document doesn't stick when you click a bookmark to a different page. Apparently Acrobat remembers whatever zoom was in effect when the bookmark was created instead of the default zoom level set for the document. What a pain. So now I have a 242-page PDF containing several hundred bookmarks that were created via Framemaker and by manually adding them to the PDF (at various zoom levels because how was I to know?) and the zoom hops about from one setting to another. Seriously irritating. I've tried selecting all of the bookmarks at one time and resetting the zoom level in Properties, but doing that also sets every bookmark to target one single page of your choice, thus defeating the purpose of bookmarks. Is there some setting that I'm missing when creating bookmarks that will apply the same default zoom to each page (so that I don't have to remember to be in the desired zoom when I create the bookmark)? And is there a way to change the zoom in my 242-page PDF so that all pages have the same zoom? Carol ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

FM 10 crashes
I've never seen this problem in FM 10 before. I had upgraded to 10 earlier this summer, but only began to have problems in the past week. The version of FM is 10.0.1.408, installed on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I have 8 GB RAM with an Intel Core 2 processor. Whenever I open an FM file, whether created in FM 8, 9, or 10, FM hangs after a few minutes, during which the menu bar disappears. At this point, I can only close the program. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but this did not work. First I upgraded on the network. But reinstalling, I upgraded from the website. In neither case did I use a disc. I don't know if that's a problem. There was an Adobe forum message in which the crash problem was solved by the CD reinstall. On the Adobe forum I came across another posting that described a similar failure, with the added advice that the registry should be cleaned. But I don't know the exact steps for cleaning the registry.

Table jumps to next page
Frame 10 Windows 7 I have a multi-page table that skips to the next page to start, leaving most of the previous page blank. The table is preceded by a heading. Both the heading and the table start on the next page. -Table is set to Start: Anywhere -Heading is set to Start: Anywhere -When I change the heading to body text, the table starts on previous page as it should. -All pertinent settings in the heading seem to be identical to those for body text... -Hold on... If I clear the Keep With: Next Pgf for the heading, the heading and table don't jump to the next page. This doesn't make sense to me but, hey, it works. -I'm downgrading this inquiry from Help! to Why? tims Tim Slager Tech Pubs T 616.494.1373 ACI Worldwide<http://www.aciworldwide.com/>, 8436 Homestead Drive, Ste. 100, Zeeland, MI 49464, USA [cid:image001.gif at 01CC664A.A90657C0] This email message and any attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or non-public information.

MediaWiki and OLH?
Greetings! Am currently engaged in a project to move software documentation from FrameMaker to MediaWiki, and imagine some of you have enjoyed similar pleasures... I am wondering whether anyone could advise about a method of generating online help (formerly webhelp produced using FM and RoboHelp) where MediaWiki is the source? The challenge is that the help system needs to work without access to the web. Would anyone know of a case where an entire wiki instance was shipped with a product? Your thoughts much appreciated! -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/attachments/20110829/f633c4ed/attachment.html>
