According to your post, you are all patched up. Maybe it's worth checking to

Vertical line at right edge of graphics frame

2011-09-09 Thread Lise Bible

I'm on Frame 8.0p277, and I occasionally get that. I select the anchored
frame, set the pen to "none" (even though, yes, it's already set to "none"),
save, and re-save the book as pdf, and that usually resolves it.

Not that helpful, maybe, but that's my workaround. It only happens
occasionally to me...I just figured it was a pdf hiccup--guessed it might
have something to do with memory--seems to happen more when I have a lot of
other stuff open.

Is FM 7.2 compatible with Windows 7?

2011-09-09 Thread st...@siliconprairiesoftware.com

You might want to try the compatibility patch I made for Frame 7.x so that
it works better with Windows 7. You can find it here at the end of the
Downloads page:

http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Downloads.html

This application uses a compatibility shim to control settings for the
FrameMaker 7.x executable file. A compatibility shim provides more control
over settings that allow the older version of Frame to work with Windows
7. I've used it for a few years, going back to the Windows Vista days. It
fixes the incompatibilities with the built-in compatibility modes, such as
the slowdown you experienced with the XP compatibility mode. (I had found
exactly the same behavior.)

Is FM 7.2 compatible with Windows 7?

No sorry, I haven't tried it. I've just seen it recommended on the Adobe forums 
to solve Win7 issues with older versions of software.

No, I haven't installed Virtual PC. Maybe I'll try that at some point. Have you 
used it? If so, how does the performance hit compare to that from compatibility 
mode? It seems to me it would be greater, even with hardware assist. But maybe 
that's not a valid assumption.

Vertical line at right edge of graphics frame

Environment:
  TCS 2 (FrameMaker 9p255)
  Windows 7 (also seen in XP SP3)
  .png images created from CorelDraw X5 (also seen in screen captures done with 
Snagit 7-I know, it's old)
  Images imported by reference to graphics frames anchored to a Body paragraph
  Image resolution typically 300 dpi (screen captures at 150 dpi)
  Image size varies, never larger than half a page

Problem: A tin black or grey line appears along the right edge of some-not 
all-anchored frames. The line is not visible in FrameMaker, only when printed 
or saved as PDF using Adobe PDF printer.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks for your help,

Unresolved cross-reference weirdness

2011-09-09 Thread Joy Kocar

When I update a book, I receive 2 unresolved cross-reference errors. This
file contains 3 insets. I search for unresolved cross-references in the main
file and in the insets, FM finds none.

In the main file I use Edit > Update References, update the book and I can
still get the errors.

I have tried Special > List of > References, including External Cross-Refs,
Unresolved Cross-Refs, Unresolved Text Insets and the resulting file is
empty.

I have checked that the cross-reference formats in the main file and the
insets are the same.

One strange thing I've noticed is that I tried showing all conditions and
did a search for unresolved cross-references, FM found none. I revert to my
set conditions. When I then update the book, no errors??

I'm confused. How would toggling conditions affect this?

Another strange thing is when I view the main file, sometimes 2
cross-references within an inset just disappear. The cross-references show
up in the inset (point to figures in the same inset). In the main file, if I
use Edit > Update References, they reappear. I think these may be my
problematic references but I don't know how to fix them. I've tried redoing
the cross-references, no change in behavior.

Toggling the conditions has worked at least this time, but I'd like to
understand what is going on. I tried searching but could not find a
solution. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Is FM 7.2 compatible with Windows 7?

2011-09-09 Thread steve

You might want to try the compatibility patch I made for Frame 7.x so that
it works better with Windows 7. You can find it here at the end of the
Downloads page:

http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Downloads.html

This application uses a compatibility shim to control settings for the
FrameMaker 7.x executable file. A compatibility shim provides more control
over settings that allow the older version of Frame to work with Windows
7. I've used it for a few years, going back to the Windows Vista days. It
fixes the incompatibilities with the built-in compatibility modes, such as
the slowdown you experienced with the XP compatibility mode. (I had found
exactly the same behavior.)

Adding a PDF form to a FrameMaker manual

2011-09-09 Thread Michael Norton

I'm trying to add a Feedback form to our FrameMaker manuals. These manuals are 
published as PDF files. We are using FrameMaker 7.2 and Acrobat 8.0.



I have a PDF form designed and can attach it to a PDF manual. I can also set up 
a bookmark which will display the form as an attachment, but I would prefer to 
pull it into the FrameMaker book and have it built in every time I print the 
book. I've tried inserting the PDF form into the book file several ways, such 
as an inset in an FM file or on a master page, but nothing seems to give me a 
form with working fields in the resulting PDF.



Preferably, I would like to end up with a PDF manual that has a bookmark named 
"Send us your comments".  If you click on that bookmark, you go directly to the 
PDF form which you can then fill in and email to a pre-selected email address. 
Since the content of the form itself will not change and since we have a large 
number of manuals, I would like to make this as automatic as possible.



Is there any way to do this?



Thanks for any ideas.

Is FM 7.2 compatible with Windows 7?

Just curious Richard - did you try running it in the Win7 virtual XP machine to 
see if it made any difference than XP compatibility mode?

After I was forced to move to Win 7, FM 7.2 crashed every time I drag-selected 
text. Running it in compatibility mode for Win XP SP3 solved that problem, but 
made opening and saving files very slow. Updating a book took forever. 

I've started experimenting with different compatibility modes. Right now, I'm 
using the Vista mode, which seems stable and a little faster than the XP SP3 
mode.

I have Frame 7.2 running on a new Windows 7 desktop system and haven't run into 
any problems, so far. No special steps to install.

No, I haven't installed Virtual PC. Maybe I'll try that at some point. Have you 
used it? If so, how does the performance hit compare to that from compatibility 
mode? It seems to me it would be greater, even with hardware assist. But maybe 
that's not a valid assumption.

Framemaker 10 page down bug

2011-09-09 Thread keith.sol...@tmx.com

I'll have to take a closer look at my files. I have only one set of 
manuals that use graphics extensively, and they're all screen shoots. When 
I need to do captions, I embed the captions in a tool like SnagIt or 
Visio. I rarely use Frame's graphic tools - about the only use I make of 
them is to add a border around the anchored frame that enclosed a graphic.

Regards
Keith

Colors in xxxCMP files

Hi Brian,



Two condition formats are used to mark the text: Inserted and Deleted. You
can edit these condition formats and change their colors, etc. Please let me
know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Frame 9 on XP.



When I compare two FrameMaker files and look at the xxxCMP file, the
strike-out text is in RED, and the other text that is different is in GREEN.
The Green color is kind of hard to read. Can I change these colors? 



Thanks,

Brian
