RE: Having problems with importing an EPS file into FrameMaker ...

A bit of a final post here for closure, and to answer Mike comments below. 1. The original EPS was indeed vector, not bitmap. 2. Agreed that the 1800 dpi PNG file was large. a. Reducing it to 300 dpi made it much smaller. b. Better yet: doing NO anti-aliasing for the PNG fi

Re: Generating web pages out of FM

I beta tested it for about a year, and I can tell you that it does better HTML export than any previous version. That said, I haven't tried to export hundreds or thousands of pages And I can't give you a URL; most of the stuff I was working with was proprietary. I think best case it may meet y

RE: Generating web pages out of FM

Lots of discussion on the FM Adobe forums about creating responsive HTML5 & other forms of output straight out of FM. But why wait? Just grab a non-production machine & suck down the FM12 trial (it’s the same as the real one) & play around with it for 30 days – remember to perform updates right

Generating web pages out of FM

A message from a Doubting Thomas: We read Adobe's assertion, that with the latest version of FM we become able to transform our files directly into good-looking web pages. However, this isn't the first time the corporation has claimed this for its product and with earlier versions of FM it simply w

Re: need referrals for localization companies

Although I did reply to Carol off-list, as requested, it occurred to me that the reason this group and other online forums thrive and succeed is that most information is shared publicly to create a knowledge base of accessible info So I'd like to point out that this should be the exception, no

need referrals for localization companies

I need to compile a list of recommended localization companies for a client who is now ready to translate their Framemaker books. I'd like your recommendations for small- to medium-sized localization companies. Please email me offlist. Thanks! ** Carol

Re: FM9 - Fm files have disappeared from disk

I have run into this when working remotely with Win 7 (and possibly Win8). I found the problem to be intermittent, and the only commonality to the failures I had was that they both occurred on book regeneration (which is file-transaction intensive). I followed the guidance in

Re: TCS5 Robohelp to Wordpress Blog Templates?

Wow! All I will have to do is to convert Frame Files by save as to XML, and that should do it. And the free plugin seems like it's all I need. I will try this later today or tomorrow and let you know. Regards, TED On Mon, Mar 10, 2014 at 10:28 AM, Matt Sullivan wrote: > I also found http://wo

Re: Conditional build expressions?

Hi Scott I don't know anything about FM8 or FM9 - we skipped them - but I've got FM10/11/12 all installed on my laptop, for testing purposes. In FM10/11 you can't enter (). You get an error about invalid syntax if you do. So that grouping feature is new in FM12. We've used build expression

Hmm, I see how I confused everyone. About the most I'd load at one time would be 7 - 15, each would then be setup to post on subsequent days. I certainly see the simplicity of what you are proposing. I was just hoping to avoid the touchup work in WordPress. I appreciate all your thoughts, and I g

Reworking legacy FrameMaker graphics

I am assuming that artwork created with FrameMaker's internal graphics editor is a closed book, i.e. cannot be extracted and reworked in an external application. If anyone knows differently, or has been through this sort of exercise, I'd be grateful to hear about it. My primitive tests so far (
