RE:FM12: SaveAs PDF not showing Dingbats in Ref pages
Most likely culprit is a font-embedding issue? What is the Dingbat font you're using. Does it support embedding? Is it getting embedded in the PDF you make from Print to file?

Today I was playing with the new FM12 creating a small newsletter. There was one heading that needed a dingbat above which I created, and it showed OK in FM12. But when saving as PDF it just did not show in the pdf file. I tried this in several ways but finally did as I always do and printed the fm to file and distilled from there. Now the dingbat showed. So, still the SaveAs PDF is buggy and not to rely on, it seems.

RE: FM12 has char format in xref been fixed?
The essence of the workaround that was described is based on the fact that font family changes are respected in xrefs (try formatting part of a line with WingDings, for instance). Thus the kludge that allows you to define a family that incorporates formatting like bold, or italics, or blue, or whatever by simply making it look like a different font family. (Disclaimer: I have never done this.) There are good arguments (as the one you make) for ignoring such formatting as bold, ital and the like in an xref, but ignoring a ZapfDingbat or symbol font char format could be disastrous. Imagine a mu becoming an m within an xref. So FrameMaker is designed not to ignore that. The wonderful thing is that you can use that feature to accomplish (albeit with a bit of work) what is desired by the original poster.

I would guess from your original post that you want to use $paratext and get the text *and* any character formatting applied to it. But FrameMaker doesn't work like that: you can't 'recover' character formatting from an xref source's text. I don't know about maker.ini fixes, as FrameMaker 7 for Mac doesn't use maker.ini. If all the above is nonsense, or completely off-base, I apologize: I'm trying to think in the midst of a gale that's trying to take the roof off. -- Steve [Trim e-mails: use less disk, use less power, use less planet] ___ ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Conditional text - looks like there are some big differences between 9 and 12
I take a look at the recent webinar that Adobe posted on the new Features of FM12. The conditional text stuff is covered. Craig Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:07:21 -0500 Subject: Conditional text - looks like there are some big differences between 9 and 12 From: david.h.down...@gmail.com To: framers@lists.frameusers.com That tutorial for FarmeMaker 9 has been working pretty well for me until now, because there appear to be some big differences in the interface for conditional text tags. The tutorial for FM9 says to click the Apply button at the top of the list of tags and select the in radio button -- but neither of these things are included on that window for 12. Also, FM 12 includes a State check box that isn't in the FM9 interface. Is anyone familiar enough with FM12 to straighten me out? ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as craig...@hotmail.com.

Re: Conditional text - looks like there are some big differences between 9 and 12
Hi David, Personally, I highly recommend using FM keyboard shortcuts. This removes the need to mess up with the FM menu. For example, to apply a condition to a text string, press Ctrl + 4 or F7 to open the Condition drop-down menu and select the relevant condition.

Master Page vs Body Page Text Boxes - How to Auto-Delete Blanks?
Hello Fellow Framers, I am having a dilemma with Master Page Issues. FrameMaker 10, Structured. I've been using FrameMaker for 15 years and never run across this issue. The left and right master pages have a text box in the footer area set to be editable on the body pages. This is needed to track various revision dates. When tags are displayed and edited, etc., more pages are added to accommodate the expansion of data as they normally would be. But, when the tags are turned off and it's time to create the output file (either printed or PDF), the additional pages cannot be deleted because Frame doesn't see them as Empty. The text box from the master pages is still on each of the additional pages. The pagination is set to Delete Empty Pages. I have tried creating a blank master page with and without the same and different text flows, tried disconnecting the pages, and every other trick I know. Maybe I've just been looking at this for too long, but if anyone can point out something obvious that I am missing, please help! Thanks in Advance!

Re: RoboHelp apparently doesn't support FM text insets or other referenced content
The first problem you're encountering sounds like a very longstanding FrameMaker bug involving cross-references in text insets, nothing specific to RoboHelp. The workaround is to use hyperlinks to named destinations.

FM 12 structured authoring training
Hi Framers, My company is making the move to DITA and will be using FM 12 as our authoring platform. We've been using FrameMaker for years and everyone is very comfortable with the unstructured interface, but the structured interface is a new beast for us. Can anyone recommend possibilities for training on the structured interface? I've watched some Adobe webinars on the subject but they're just not putting the pieces together for me. I don't know yet what our budget will allow but I'd like to get an idea of what's out there that might meet our needs.
