Draft material in BSPerf.fm table rows - promote to Experimental?

[Fausset, Marilyn]

Brett (et al),
I found DRAFT material in tables in the BS Performance profile. Should these be 
promoted to Experimental?
I've screen-capped these DRAFT rows in the tables below.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Marilyn

FM12 bug - updating File Info

[John Sgammato]

I just discovered a minor but annoying bug in FM12 with the File Info
feature, under the File menu.
If you have a book with some chapters, the book file and the chapters can
have File Info, a set of 8 bits of metadata like Title, Subject, Keywords,
etc. Each chapter can have its own File Info, and the Book can have File
Info.
File Info carries through to PDFs Properties and the title appears in
search results if you publish to HTML5.
Here's the bug: If you have any value at all in the title field, then you
can bulk-update it to another title via File > Import >  Formats Document
Properties. You can also delete the title. But you cannot bulk update an
existing title to no title, or to a space. One you have a title, you
apparently must always have a title, or else delete it one at a time, file
by file.

RE: PDF problems

[Fred Ridder]

Actually, in most cases the place to start looking for the problem is about 2 
pages *before* the page that is indicated when the error occurs. Much of the 
processing of a PDF file is pipelined, so that at least one or two pages (N-2 
and N-1) are still being worked on when the application reports that page N is 
the page being processed "now".

This is a vexing type of problem. It may be a non-obvious corrupt
graphic or other object. I recommend "divide and conquer", either in
FrameMaker 12 or in Acrobat.



- Split the file in half.

- Identify the half-file that produces the error.

- Split the error-prone half-file again.

- Repeat until you've identified the page/object that is causing the
error.



As David Spreadbury suggests, if the printer can tell you the page
that invokes the failure, start looking there.

Re: PDF problems

[David Spreadbury]

I suggested that the printer provide more details on the problem because it 
would appear that their rendering engine doesn't like something...duh... 
similar to what Distiller does when it encounters an error. Since Alan doesn't 
get an error when distilling, he would not be able to do more than he has done 
without some more specific feedback.

Re: PDF problems

Alan,I would ask them if they could be a little more specific on when the 
problem occurs.I would expect that the print job is stopping on a specific 
page.Knowing that you can zero in on the page that is actually causing the 
problem.

RE: cross-ref to marker(text)

[Keith Soltys]

You can do it with the newlink/gotolink hypertext markers. Use the newlink 
marker to create the anchor name for the link, placed in the file and at the 
location you are linking to (I usually put mine in the section heading). Inside 
the text of the link itself, put a gotolink marker with the form 
filename:Newlink. Format the text of your link and your marker with the same 
character style (whatever you use for a hyperlink, like blue underlined).

Keith

Re: Setting up page numbers that restart with chapter number

[Shmuel]

  
  
It sounds like you are putting all the chapters in one FrameMaker
file. Generally people who use FrameMaker put each chapter in a
separate file and add all the files to a Book file. Are you doing
that? If yes, then each chapter automatically restarts the numbering
unless you select otherwise in the file's Numbering properties.

I checked pages 355 and 356 in Matt

  Agghh!!
 
I also ran through David Rivers’ tutorial

Can any of you point me to:
 
Framemaker training that doesn’t cost more
  than $600 that can teach me both a thorough run of the basics
  and more advanced tasks like this?
 
Web tutorials that address this topic?
 
A simple, clear set of instructions on how
  to set up page numbering that restarts with each chapter
  number without corrupting the document?
