It might save time to copy and paste an existing frame containing an icon,
copy the icon you need, select the icon in the frame, and paste to replace
it.

Printing Color Images

2013-09-11 Thread Ed Nodland
This seems like it should be simple and done routinely by many others.

I have an image of a flammable substance label.  It has a pantone red, a
pantone yellow, and black. I want to use the image in a Framemaker document
that will be sent for commercial printing using Spot Color not process
printing.  How can I accomplish this?

The image is an Illustrator file. I save the file to PDF, load it into
Frame 10, save the Frame file as PDF, open in acrobat pro and use Advanced
 Print Production  Output Preview to see that the image is a mix of CMYK
not my spot pantone colors.

I also suspect that the image saved from Illustrator as a PDF format should
display the spot colors but it does not. So the problem/solution might
start there.

ANN: 13Sept Webinar 9AM PAC Optimizing the Word to FrameMaker Workflow

2013-09-11 Thread Maxwell Hoffmann
9:00AM PAC Fri September 13, Register at: http://adobe.ly/16OF6Fw



Migration from Microsoft Word to FrameMaker is a very common path for content 
creators whose workflow outgrows Word's limitations with high volume or 
document complexity. Watch FrameMaker expert Barb Binder share her tips on how 
to manage a migration workflow from Word to FrameMaker, including:



== Optimizing styles and catalogs in Word before conversion to reduce document 
touch up

== Word document artifacts to eliminate or avoid

== How to grasp fundamentals of FrameMaker publishing in terms that Word users 
can appreciate and understand

== How to automate publishing tasks in FrameMaker via intelligent styles that 
required more manual effort in Word



After this session you will have a good foundation on how to work with Word and 
FrameMaker, and when it makes sense to migrate your project content into 
FrameMaker.



About our Presenter: Barb Binder is an Adobe Certified Instructor and the owner 
of Rocky Mountain Training. When she’s not teaching grown-ups how to use Adobe 
software, she’s at Winter Park teaching kids how to ski. -- She has been an

RE: Inserting inline graphics

2013-09-11 Thread Alastair Dent
That sounds like a good idea, except that in Frame 11, selecting an bitmap in a 
frame and pasting a bitmap doesn't replace the selection! I can paste into an 
empty frame. The pasted bitmap is placed on the centre of the page but can be 
manually dragged into the frame.
I'm very disappointed in how poor Frame is at handling this. I could literally 
code HTML faster in a text editor, including adding graphics, than do this work 
in Frame.

Tech Comm user community as well about the strategy of Adobe Tech Comm products.

Our Sr. Product Manager – Adobe Technical Communication Products, Kapil Verma, 
outlines Adobe's strategy for licensing with Tech Comm Suite products in the 
next release in a blog, Adobe Technical Communication Products Next Release

Version Control Suggestions

2013-09-11 Thread Sonnenberg, Aryeh
I am working on multiple versions of docs, and finding it difficult to ensure 
that changes that get added to an earlier version get propogated throughout the 
following versions.

I know that our developers use Perforce to do a merge so all changes get into 
the main files.

It there something like this for FrameMaker? I am using 10, soon upgrading to 
11.

Re: Printing Color Images

2013-09-11 Thread Heiko Haida
 

Hi Ed, 

probably your colors are set to automatically separate to
CMYK in Illustrator: 

If you use a pantone library, all colors here are
by default defined as CMYK-separating colors, although a pantone value
is displayed in the color window... 

= Set the two colors to
spotcolor in the color options (swatch options). A small dot will then
be visible in each color (in the swatches palette for the document).


After this, when producing a PDF, set the output option to no color
conversion. 

The pantone colors will then have their own plates in the
pdf as spot colors. 

Pls see also:

RE: Inserting inline graphics

2013-09-11 Thread Alastair Dent
As a workflow that would be simply impractical.

This product has many, many button icons. More than exist in Word, for example. 
Many more.

I won't be using all of them. As I'm writing I will be 'inventing' procedures 
where I need to say 'Click X to ...'

I need a quick method for placing a screenshot of the button icon inline in a 
paragraph.

If I were writing in Word, I'd just paste the bitmap and use a macro to adjust 
size (if required).
If I were writing in HTML I'd save the bitmap as a file, then type a link in 
the html (using a class to control size and placing).

In Frame it seems to be a four-step manual process to paste and place the 
bitmap - and the placing and sizing can't even be controlled with a style.

Re: FM 10 not copying contents from the Windows clipboard

2013-09-11 Thread Heiko Haida
 

Hi Linda, 

this problem seems to be common for some Adobe
applications. I have it with Indesign CS4 and old Win XP, and also with
Indesign CS6 and Win7. Fortunately, I can work for quite a long time...
Suddenly, nothing can be copied/pasted, not even text. 

In the Adobe
forums, this is vividly discussed, mostly concerning Photoshop. I did
not find any solution that seemed to be working for everybody/every
constellation. 

Some had a solution when unstalling certain plugins or
certain applications (like Skype). Others reported this to be specific
for their 64bit installation of Windows, not for a 32bit installation.
Some think the problem is related to Adobe, some think, Microsoft should
fix it. 

So, it is really hard to say what could help you. 

While
searching with windows clipboard lock I found something that was new
to me in Win7: The clipboard may be emptied with a special command
sequence. 
--
http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-empty-the-clipboard-in-windows-7-tip/


Well, I do not know, if this works while FrameMaker is still
running... Maybe the blocking is stronger... 

Or: 
You could try one
of the many Clipboard manager utilities to see if using them can help
you out. 

Good luck - 

Tino H. Haida, Berlin 

Linda Rose: 

 FM 10
is not copying anything on the Windows clipboard after a while. It only
pastes the last thing copied within FM. If I restart, it works for
awhile but then stops copying from the Windows clipboard.
 
 Anyone
know how to fix this? 
 
 Thanks, 
 
 Linda

To Ann @ Adobe ... Downloading Adobe webinar recordings

2013-09-11 Thread VLM TechSubs
Hi Ann,

 

Earlier today, you provided the a link to 
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=list
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=listloc=en_ustype=ondemand_seminarproduct=Technical+Communication+Suiteinter
est=audience 
loc=en_ustype=ondemand_seminarproduct=Technical+Communication+Suiteinterest=audience=
 (if I got it correct), so
that we could download the various wonderful seminars. But it appears that one 
must listen online using Adobe's player. Now, I don't
mind that, in general, but it's really not very useful while traveling in a car 
(someone else driving :):) or on a plane (someone
else flying :). I also don't wish to log in using my Adobe ID from a public 
computer anywhere (library, other WiFi spot). 

So . is there any way to download these recordings, or even some of them, as 
plain old video files, providing no interaction or
special features, just to view/review? That would be most helpful, I think.

 

Thank you very much.

Elchanan

One big file or grouped files

2013-09-11 Thread Robert CH Shell
Thanks Lea, Robert and others who have responded. There seems to be three
schools of thought.
1 CD with a startup/menu screen and grouped files
2 CD with huge file for copying to hard drive (current practice here)
3 Product resides on a USB

I reckon I could have 12 combined

I am reluctant to go the CD route because of all the rich media. My product
works best for me on a hard drive. Fast and never any stutter. Remember, I
am writing from South Africa. My customers definitely do not have top of the
line machines.

I will investigate the USB pricing

FM 10 find/replace in selection not working if using Change and Find

2013-09-11 Thread Craig Ede
Yesterday, while attempting to do a series of find/replace actions in a
selected table I found that there is a bug that prevents that if you attempt
to step through the selected area with the Change and Find button . After
the first change the select area is deselected and the message Not found
is displayed. The same happens with a simple text range (non-table). Is this
the expected behavior? 

 

Note that the Change All action completes successfully, but that means you
must be sure that all occurrences of the target have to change.

Re: Version Control Suggestions

2013-09-11 Thread Robert Lauriston
If you need to do that, unstructured FrameMaker's not a good tool since you
can't merge to .fm files.

Structured FrameMaker could work, but if you're migrating from unstructured
FrameMaker, there may be better choices, such as MadCap Flare.

Yeah, FrameMaker's workflow isn't good for that. That's one reason I
avoid icon characters and in favor of tooltips.

You could probably automate it with FrameScript.

 Hi Ed,

 probably your colors are set to automatically separate to CMYK in
 Illustrator:

 If you use a pantone library, all colors here are by default defined as
 CMYK-separating colors, although a pantone value is displayed in the color
 window...

 = Set the two colors to spotcolor in the color options (swatch
 options). A small dot will then be visible in each color (in the swatches
 palette for the document).

 After this, when producing a PDF, set the output option to no color
 conversion.

 The pantone colors will then have their own plates in the pdf as spot
 colors.

Inserting inline graphics

2013-09-11 Thread Alastair Dent
That sounds like a good idea, except that in Frame 11, selecting an bitmap in a 
frame and pasting a bitmap doesn't replace the selection! I can paste into an 
empty frame. The pasted bitmap is placed on the centre of the page but can be 
manually dragged into the frame.
I'm very disappointed in how poor Frame is at handling this. I could literally 
code HTML faster in a text editor, including adding graphics, than do this work 
in Frame.

FM 10 not copying contents from the Windows clipboard

2013-09-11 Thread Heiko Haida


Hi Linda, 

this problem seems to be common for some Adobe
applications. I have it with Indesign CS4 and old Win XP, and also with
Indesign CS6 and Win7. Fortunately, I can work for quite a long time...
Suddenly, nothing can be copied/pasted, not even text. 

In the Adobe
forums, this is vividly discussed, mostly concerning Photoshop. I did
not find any solution that seemed to be working for everybody/every
constellation. 

Some had a solution when unstalling certain plugins or
certain applications (like Skype). Others reported this to be specific
for their 64bit installation of Windows, not for a 32bit installation.
Some think the problem is related to Adobe, some think, Microsoft should
fix it. 

So, it is really hard to say what could help you. 

While
searching with "windows clipboard lock" I found something that was new
to me in Win7: The clipboard may be "emptied" with a special command
sequence. 
-->
http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-empty-the-clipboard-in-windows-7-tip/


Well, I do not know, if this works while FrameMaker is still
running... Maybe the "blocking" is stronger... 

Or: 
You could try one
of the many "Clipboard manager" utilities to see if using them can help
you out. 

Good luck - 

Tino H. Haida, Berlin 

Linda Rose: 

> FM 10
is not copying anything on the Windows clipboard after a while. It only
pastes the last thing copied within FM. If I restart, it works for
awhile but then stops copying from the Windows clipboard.

FM 10 find/replace in selection not working if using Change and Find

2013-09-11 Thread Craig Ede
Yesterday, while attempting to do a series of find/replace actions in a
selected table I found that there is a bug that prevents that if you attempt
to step through the selected area with the Change and Find button . After
the first change the select area is deselected and the message "Not found"
is displayed. The same happens with a simple text range (non-table). Is this
the expected behavior? 



Note that the Change All action completes successfully, but that means you
must be sure that all occurrences of the target have to change.

that changes that get added to an earlier version get propogated throughout the

I know that our developers use Perforce to do a "merge" so all changes get into

It there something like this for FrameMaker? I am using 10, soon upgrading to 
11.

To Ann @ Adobe ... Downloading Adobe webinar recordings

2013-09-11 Thread VLM TechSubs
Hi Ann,



Earlier today, you provided the a link to 
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=list
<http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=list=en_us=ondemand_seminar=Technical+Communication+Suite
est=> 
=en_us=ondemand_seminar=Technical+Communication+Suite==
 (if I got it correct), so
that we could download the various wonderful seminars. But it appears that one 
must listen online using Adobe's player. Now, I don't
mind that, in general, but it's really not very useful while traveling in a car 
(someone else driving :):) or on a plane (someone
else flying :). I also don't wish to log in using my Adobe ID from a public 
computer anywhere (library, other WiFi spot). 

So . is there any way to download these recordings, or even some of them, as 
plain old video files, providing no interaction or
special features, just to view/review? That would be most helpful, I think.



Thank you very much.

Elchanan

If you need to do that, unstructured FrameMaker's not a good tool since you
can't merge to .fm files.

Structured FrameMaker could work, but if you're migrating from unstructured
FrameMaker, there may be better choices, such as MadCap Flare.
