OT: Index page ranges
Hi Framers, This is more of a curiosity than anything. I was browsing the index in a book last night and I noticed that at the end of page ranges, common numbers are suppressed. For example 244-7 instead of 244-247 and 138-41 instead of 138-141. Is this simply to save space, or is there some kind of style recommendation for this? Thanks for any insight.

The graphic has a preview image but setting Fill to None didn't help. (I printed the page to be sure.) Too bad because that seemed like such an elegant solution. Thanks.

SOLVED: Graphics transparency
I found this onine: http://www.meissner-dokuteam.de/Files/Frame/Transparency2_p250.pdf It explains that the image needs a clipping path. I also found something that said setting Fill to None doesn't work with .eps.

RE: Graphics transparency
I have seen this original post and the follow-up responses and wanted to clarify a few points. (1)FrameMaker absolutely does not support graphic transparency as that particular term applies to the Adobe imaging model and PDF versions beginning with PDF 1.4. For that matter, neither do PostScript or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files formats support live transparency. PDF files with live transparency that are imported into FrameMaker documents have their transparency flattened when they are internally converted into EPS. PDF created by FrameMaker is always via distillation of PostScript and by definition, never has live transparency. (2)FrameMaker supports everything that EPS supports in terms that whatever is in the EPS file to start with is output into the PostScript stream for printing or PDF creation. EPS files don't have transparency, but can have clear backgrounds, i.e., no background behind the objects in the EPS file. Unfortunately, some designers cling to the concept that they must always provide a white background for their artwork. If the file has such a background in Illustrator, you are pretty much stuck with it when the resultant EPS is imported into FrameMaker. (3)For display purposes, FrameMaker only displays the TIFF preview of an EPS file and even then ignores the transparency in the low resolution TIFF preview (if you save as EPS in Illustrator and request a transparent background). Thus, you will not see a clear background. (4)Be careful to check the runaround properties of the EPS file you place. That could force the clear background to be lost in not only display, but print! - Dov [cid:image001.png@01CD8B77.D51D2AC0] Dov Isaacs Principal Scientist Adobe Systems Incorporated +1 408.536.2896 (tel) +1 408.242.5161 (cell) isa...@adobe.com 345 Park Avenue San Jose, CA 95110-2704 USA http://www.adobe.com Feel free to print this e-mail if your needs dictate hard copy.

I have these notes that I made for a project I worked on a while back: 1. Import the image into FrameMaker. It will look like a grey box in FrameMaker, so it will be tricky to adjust. 2. Select the image and set "Fill" to "None" using the tools palette. I think I might have found that answer here: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2010-March/019668.html Nadine > Hi all - > > Does FrameMaker 10 support transparency?

It still shows white in the PDF so it looks like the problem is with the graphic, not FrameMaker. Thanks, everyone!

The graphic has a preview image but setting Fill to None didn't help. (I printed the page to be sure.) Too bad because that seemed like such an elegant solution. Thanks.

SOLVED: Graphics & transparency
I found this onine: http://www.meissner-dokuteam.de/Files/Frame/Transparency2_p250.pdf It explains that the image needs a clipping path. I also found something that said setting Fill to None doesn't work with .eps.

It's not the image that you need to select, it's the anchored frame or graphics frame into which you imported the image. This can be a little tricky sometimes. Open the Graphics palette and make sure you have View > Borders turned on. Click the mouse on the dotted-line border of the frame, not on the image inside it. Then in the Graphics palette, click Set Fill Pattern and in the Fill dialog, click None. HTH! Richard G.

Well, my original answer was a half-baked anyway. I missed some other steps. This is where I actually got my answer originally: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2009-June/017102.html. That worked for whatever I was doing at the time. *sigh* Maybe I should be quiet now. Anyway, in the end, many tech writers make transparent graphic work. ;-) Nadine - Original Message - > From: "Combs, Richard" > To: Writer ; Pat Christenson ; > "framers at lists.frameusers.com" > Cc: > Sent: Wednesday, September 5, 2012 3:51:58 PM > Subject: RE: Graphics & transparency > > Writer wrote: > >> 2.

I have seen this original post and the follow-up responses and wanted to clarify a few points. (1)FrameMaker absolutely does not support graphic transparency as that particular term applies to the Adobe imaging model and PDF versions beginning with PDF 1.4. For that matter, neither do PostScript or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files formats support live transparency. PDF files with live transparency that are imported into FrameMaker documents have their transparency "flattened" when they are internally converted into EPS. PDF created by FrameMaker is always via distillation of PostScript and by definition, never has live transparency. (2)FrameMaker "supports" everything that EPS supports in terms that whatever is in the EPS file to start with is output into the PostScript stream for printing or PDF creation. EPS files don't have transparency, but can have clear backgrounds, i.e., no background behind the objects in the EPS file. Unfortunately, some designers cling to the concept that they must always provide a white background for their artwork. If the file has such a background in Illustrator, you are pretty much stuck with it when the resultant EPS is imported into FrameMaker. (3)For display purposes, FrameMaker only displays the TIFF preview of an EPS file and even then ignores the transparency in the low resolution TIFF preview (if you save as EPS in Illustrator and request a transparent background). Thus, you will not see a clear background. (4)Be careful to check the "runaround properties" of the EPS file you place. That could force the clear background to be "lost" in not only display, but print! - Dov [cid:image001.png at 01CD8B77.D51D2AC0] Dov Isaacs Principal Scientist Adobe Systems Incorporated +1 408.536.2896 (tel) +1 408.242.5161 (cell) isaacs at adobe.com 345 Park Avenue San Jose, CA 95110-2704 USA http://www.adobe.com Feel free to print this e-mail if your needs dictate hard copy.

How to add Table numbers to List of tables
Dear All, Please help me overcome a peculiar problem in FM. I have a document with number of tables. Each table in the document has a 'Table Title' paragraph style applied to it. Thus the text below the table reads "'Table 1: Letters of the alphabets" etc. When I make the List of Tables (special -> List of Tables), the LOT displays only "Letters of the alphabets ... 2" (assuming that the particular table is on page 2). What I want to do is the display the complete text in the LOT like "Table 1: Letters of the alphabets ... 2" Any idea how this is done? I hope my question is clear to you. Many thanks in advance. -- Regards, *Apurva* *Bahadur* -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

FM10 special character
We upgraded to FM10 this year and now I'm having trouble creating a special character. I'm trying to create a right arrow, as in a chemical equation. (I have the special toolbar, but it doesn't include this.) I can't seem to get this symbol using the old FM8 method of using a character and applying a "symbol" character tag. I looked online and it suggests using the character palette, but I can't get that to open. It seems maybe that was in FM9, but not included in FM10? Thanks in advance for any advice!

OT: Index page ranges
My suspicion is that it was to save space/typesetting time; there may be a standard as well (isn't there always? ) Grant On September 5, 2012 at 9:15 AM Rick Quatro wrote: > Hi Framers, > > This is more of a curiosity than anything.

Question about char tag override indicator
Hey all.. got a puzzler for you. In FM10, I have a document that has character tags. One of these is bold, which has everything set to "as-is" but the font weight. For some reason, when I apply the tag, it's always marked with an asterisk, even if I apply "Default Para Font" first, and then "Bold". Saving the doc doesn't seem to change the indicator either. Any idea what might be happening, other than a bug in FM? Grant -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

FrameMaker doesn't render EPS graphics. It displays the embedded preview bitmap if there is one, otherwise a blank box. So as Rick says, you need to generate a PDF to tell if the transparency is OK.
SOLVED: Graphics & transparency
So when you save as PDF or print you see the same white square you do on screen in FM10?
