Thanks. Is Tech Comm Suite, RoboHelp? If so, is this still Single Sourcing, or do you have to fiddle a lot to put into RoboHelp.

How sad. Although he created a program, he would always correspond with users and add features as requested. It was the only application at that time, where one could get direct help from the owner. (I know that things are not like that now). Indeed a good man.

Re: Can't Generate PDF SOLVED
On 6 Jun 2014 at 2:49, Davis, David wrote: There's nothing ambiguous about that option! And it's very sensible. I wouldn't advise anyone to deselect it. Otherwise, Distiller can create a PDF which references fonts which are only present in a document that's currently open and loaded in RAM on your PC. It is likely these will not embed properly and so you will be creating a PDF that has limited portability. David, sorry to have a counter-view: In the past 17 years of using FM and Acrobat I always got incorrect pdfs with this option checked. Until Acrobat 9.5 it was (re)set with every update of Acrobat and I had to uncheck it frequently. However, the effect from checking or unchecking this option may depend on the system (or more sarcastic: from the water level in the toilet). I wonder what 'our' expert at Adobe (Dov Isaaks) says about this option.

RE: Subject: RE: What end product should I give them? or thinking of moving help application, but to what???
TCS is a bundle of products that have special integrations to work together over the standalone versions of the software. The lineup keeps changing with each release, but TCS5 has FM12, RH11, Captivate 7, Presenter 9, Acrobat Pro XI – prior versions have included Photoshop and Illustrator. Because I still have to produce PDFs, I use FM for all my content and then import it into RH for producing WebHelp. Very little fiddling needed.

Re: Jeremy H. Griffith, 1942-2014
Even though I never met Jeremy in person, it's hard to picture him not being there to point me in the right direction. As a FrameMaker developer, he provided a wealth of knowledge (and code) on the trickier areas of the FDK. In the DITA world, he was often a voice of reason (even if that wasn't what people wanted to hear). And when I set up my business many years ago, I tried to emulate his ideas of customer service. He was a caring and thoughtful person who will be missed and remembered for many years to come. My thoughts and condolence go out to his family and all whose lives he touched. ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892 ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
