Re: [Framers] License update
Version 16, FrameMaker 2020, is the latest shipping version, and there is always ongoing development. So I'd avoid 2019 given that it's already been passed by.

Re: [Framers] Graphic Getting Cut Off
Assuming you have the full version of Acrobat installed, you should see it as an available printer. If so, you can eliminate a few keystrokes by selecting Print in Frame, picking the Adobe PDF printer, making sure that Print to file is NOT checked, unchecking the System fonts, and hitting it. Frame/Acrobat will pop up a file name box, specify it, and you're done. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] Contents of Framers digest... Why so many of us feel the way we do....
Since I've only used FrameMaker and this list and others list it since the FrameMaker 2 release sometime back in the 1990s, I may not be as qualified as you in deciding what is acceptable list content... But I have a strong feeling that FrameMaker's usability, both for a given task and usability as a tool; changes that have made it less usable or suitable; and cost increases and changes all are significant FrameMaker issues. If these add up to enough reasons that FrameMaker is unprofitable for Adobe to publish, there isn't going to be a FrameMaker to bitch about. They need to be brought forward and to Adobe's attention, as much as the few Adobe employees following the list can read them. So I submit that all topics that have surface are more than suitable for the list -- because they are written by FrameMaker users or former users who care enough to share their opinions in this forum.

Re: [Framers] Processing time
Your machine is kind of light weight for intensive publishing. I'd definitely try to boost the RAM. Also, you don't say if the files are all local or on a LAN/server somewhere, which will create another bottleneck if they have to be opened locally, which probably involves some virus checking.

According to the FM 19 doc, you can generate HTML ToolTips by inserting Glossary Entry markers in the Frame files.

Re: [Framers] Images make scrolling through a Frame document problematic
You're not saying whether the graphics are copied into the FM file or imported by reference. Makes a big difference. For example, if they are imported by reference, your virus protection may be trying to screen each one as it scrolls into view. Assuming all the files are local which is the recommended Best Practice. If they're on the network, that's certainly part of the throughput problem. Your RAM, although adequate, isn't at all high, especially for graphics intensive FM files. I'd go higher if at all possible. Coupled with that are that there aren't lots of other applications running... especially memory hogs such as Photoshop and Chrome running site that are refreshing. All that said, I'd look at your virus protection first, and maybe try turning it off as a test. But more RAM would certainly help. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] Questions re upgrading Frame from 7.1
I believe most of the bugs you're referring to are long fixed. What i think is likely to be a larger issue and that you don't address is the hardware and operating system on which you're running your, uh, antique software. If you're going to the current version, which I'd recommend, you're likely looking at significant hardware and maybe OS changes as well as Frame. FM19's SaveAs RTF works better than any previous version's. Played with the ePub, but not for any documents that have been used outside the department. Worked fine, but didn't beat on it.

I've used Webworks before and been happy with it, but I'm assuming two things -- that the integration within TCS has improved a bit, and also that I need to demonstrate the lack in the software I've got before I can buy a new package. So planning on investigating more deeply and quickly than I can do on my own while juggling other projects. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

[Framers] TCS 2017 >> 2019
The company is updating to TCS 2019 from TCS 2017. When 2019 is installed, does it overwrite 2017 applications, or can they exist in parallel (I know Frame 2017 and 2019 can co-exist, but I don't know about the other aps)? Any problems to watch for?

[Framers] 404 Behavior in Context Sensitive Help from Frame
We're developing context sensitive HTML5 help for a project using Publish from FM 2017, and have most of the first round integration and troubleshooting done. The problem: When a topic is called from the application, but turns out to be not found, the first page of the book/help is displayed, which isn't a lot of help to anyone. Is there a way to remap this behavior within Frame, the mapping table, or the application so that a Topic Not Found page or message, and/or the search tool is displayed? Thanks!

[Framers] Thank you and a thumbs up to Rick Quatro for a new script
I recently needed to import something like 30+ Excel pages (a list of internal programming variables) into Frame and make it look acceptable. I wanted to split the table into sub tables to organize groups of variables by type... but the manual cutting and pasting would have taken literally days, plus been boring and error-prone. I asked Rick to come up with a script that would split off a section of rows into a its own discrete table while applying the existing table column headers, styles and so on. He came up with the script in about half a day, and I used it to finish the formatting in half a day. Wonderful tool and great service! Thanks, Rick! Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] [WTF ramemaker] Best Practices for HTML Online help
So, based on Caroline's and Robert's info and contributions, and thoughts from everyone else, I'm going to reccommend that our starting point for a coding spec be the Frame-to-RoboHelp workflow, with us, doc, retaining control of the map file. TBD is how the coders would inform us / update with new hooks on the code side. Does that sound reasonable to y'all? After we do a couple projects, we will revisit and tune.

Re: [Framers] [WTF ramemaker] Best Practices for HTML Online help
Thank y'all for the help and suggestions so far! To clarify a few points: - The application is a SaS, but more on the database reporting side of things than providing a service - Some dedicated workstations will be primary user's work stations, but we expect a good percentage of people 30-40% to be using phones. Possibly tablets, but less likely. - We have FM 17 and will be single source authoring. - We have Tech Comm Suite 17, so RoboHelp is available Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

[Framers] Best Practices for HTML Online help
My company is developing a new browser-based software package that is specced to include screen-level context sensitive help. The coders haven't done this before and are asking for help/assistance/advice on developing the coding standard for this and other products going forward. I'm thinking the basics are the basics -- a call in the program goes to a mapping table that invokes the HTML help screen in a new tab/window or a popup. What I'm looking for feedback / ideas on are a good method to call Help from the application (icon/keystroke/widget), and any Best Practices that people are already using, either on the coding or information development side.

Re: [Framers] Different page sizes in FM document
Doug's right on the basics.
If you want to have the chapter content flow and "stick" to the designated
page format, you need to also create a unique tag to invoke the page using
a Unstructured Master Page Map table on a reference page.
[image: image.png]
After it's set up (maybe 20 minutes), you need to execute the Apply Master
Pages command to refresh the pagination either manually, or as part of your
book building process.
You can optionally lock pagination and freeze the doc with ESC F l k.

[Framers] Last Mile problem...
Trying to solve a "Last Mile" problem to get some doc into the right hands. Company uses Agile for document control. To be officially released, a doc needs to go through the approval process, which includes attaching a PDF to the form(s). Only people with the $14K license have access. We're storing copies of the PDFs on an internal server and posting them to a protected customer web site for distribution, but getting some pushback from internal controls people that people downloading those posted copies have no way of knowing if they are the latest official copies. Has anyone figured out a way to link to a PDF within Agile from an external source? Is it even possible? And second question -- the company is thinking of switching to Windchill for doc control. Would that simplify or eliminate the delivery problem at all? TIA Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] Print settings for colors is inconsistent

Re: [Framers] Save As PDF doesn't work first time
Don't entirely agree or disagree. I was a beta '17 user, so I've been using it for several years on Win10 without any serious issues. Always thinking that whatever the current version is, that's what many people are using so you see a high number of questions and complaints about that. Can't talk about '19.

Re: [Framers] Frame2017 slow on network??
Yes, but it's likely two factors. First, if you're working in a book and the component files have imported by ref graphics, you're talking hundreds of files coming from the net to your box. Second, unless your company is atypical, each one of those files is virus-checked both ways, as it comes on to your box from the net and leaves your box to the server. This adds up to a heavy network load. The server, the network, your NIC, and the PC all have to be up to the task. Best fix is to work locally and use the server for backup. Subversion or source control is great. However, I don't have that option, so I store on my local Dropbox folder (so I have my own cloud backup) and use Microsoft SyncToy to sync up with the server a couple times a day.

[Framers] cTUVus documentation
My company just got cTUVus certification for North America. My regulatory guy is telling me we need to include French warning/caution/danger text as well as include some French text translation in our doc set. We have no Canadian customers, and none in the pipeline, so our doc would not be exported to Canada, which has the bi-lingual/French requirement. He was not able to answer the question I asked, if we could do two versions, a US English and a translated French for shipment to Canadian customers if and when it is required, and be in compliance with the standard. Anyone been there and solved the problem? Thanks, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] Windows 10 updates disables FM printing
An important point being left out is what flavor of Windows 10 is being used. If it's Home... I'd walk away. Pro or Enterprise are stable and have the support required. Also given that the environment seems to be FM 10, sis or seven year old software running in an environment for which it wasn't designed... your mileage will always vary like this, and you should expect them. If it was me and I wanted to hang onto a legacy environment, for some reason, I'd do it on a separate machine off the Internet. And used a business version of Windows 10 and the current or one step removed version of FM for the serious work. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker install without Distiller?
Unless you want to mess with the innards, it's easiest and best just to install FM with the defaults. You're more likely to F* up something trying to second guess the installer and not install the Distiller than you are following the KISS principle. If Acrobat is set as your default printer, as it should be, it will be used. Just get in the habit of using the Print command. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker variable language
Quick update: P philippe Zingoni on the TCS User's list was sure you could edit it from the Variables list, so I tried again. I played with it some more, and discovered there's a little "gotcha" designed in. You can't edit it (Table continuation) just by clicking the pencil icon in the list like you can other variables.

Re: [Framers] Save as PDF
What John said, but seriously guys, this has been unreliable since it was introduced in the first Adobe releases of what, FM 5? 6? The Acrobat people obviously don't test with Frame, and the Frame people apparently don't know about or test with new Acrobat builds... Treating Acrobat as a logical printer and printing to it as you would a physical printer removes a lot of the problematic middleware code that breaks. It's only a few more keystrokes or clicks... just remove "Save As PDF" from your world and go on with life. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] Framemaker 2017 save backwards
To follow the KISS principle: - If someone on '17 saves as either flavor of MIF, the file that is created is backward compatible with earlier revs. - All features not supported in the earlier revs are discarded. So AFAIK, there is no reason to make your new employee jump through hoops -- just do the Save as MIF when she needs to export something for a team share. If y'all do FrameScript, you could run up a script that works on files, book contents, or directories to convert all FM 17 files to MIF like once a day, at the end of the day and write the files to a subdirectory or other location.

[Framers] Text insets with mini-TOCs not updating
OK, here's the setup, in '17: 1. Some shared chapter files are in a \Shares directory parallel to the discrete book directories. 2. Each shared chapter file has a mini-TOC showing its H1s. 3. Each book has a container file for the shared chapter with unique page furniture, chapter number/head, and intro paragraph. 4. Each shared file is set up to use the host file's formatting/settings. The problem is that when the book is updated, the mini-TOCs aren't updated with the host book's page numbers, so the mini-TOC might say the topic is on page 3 when it's really on 187. Mini-TOCs are supposed to be updated with a book is refreshed. Any thoughts? Bug? Thanks, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

Re: [Framers] Frame 15 UI annoyances
Good pint, Rick. Any MIF should open in any legacy version and just dump whatever isn't supported... And it wouldn't generate the warning because all features would be supported.

Re: [Framers] Frame 15 UI annoyances
1. I'd use FrameScript to SaveAs MIF quietly to avoid the dialogs. Don't know if there's a way to disable warnings in FM itself. 2. Check the ini file to see if the checkbox "took." I believe there's a line in the ini that controls the auto-save setting. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...

[Framers] Big thumbs up for Rick Quatro's latest script
OK, this may be semi-spam, but I just received a great FrameScript from Rick Quatro and wanted to share. It rips through either a book or file and removes any spaces from files names, reference graphics, text insets, and other imported items.* Both in the Frame file and in the source file.* W hich means that documents written with Windows or Mac file naming conventions (or just sloppy file naming) HTML and UNIX compliant, a huge deal for those of us using Frame to output to multiple formats including HTML.
