No, it doesn't import into FrameMaker 11. It doesn't recognize the file type.

hypertext problem

2011-06-20 Thread Jo Watkiss

I am trying to create a link to a specific page in a pdf file, but
cannot get the link to go to the correct page.  

 

Both source and destination files are created in FrameMaker. 

The destination file is a frame book file, that is distilled to a single
pdf file.  

Each frame file re-starts page numbering at page 1.  (1-1, 1-2, ... 2-1,
2-2, 2-3 ... 3-1, 3-2 etc).  The PDF pages are simply numbered from 1
onwards.

 

If I set a link to go to page 27, it goes to 2-27, which is actually
page 45.  This is the first chapter that has 27 pages.

 

I have tried using all the following syntaxes:

gotopage filename:pagenumber

openpage filename:pagenumber

openlink filename:pagenumber

 

I would prefer not to put the links in manually in the pdf (there are
lots of them).

Adding a linkname marker in the destination document works, but is not
feasible because it is a legacy document.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi Nina,

 

This is the marker that I use for this purpose (works in frame 6 and 9):

 

openpage folder location/filename.fm:1

 

the .fm gets converted to .pdf when you convert from frame to pdf

the :1 means it opens at page 1

I am trying to create a hyperlink to a PDF. Basically, when the user
clicks the link, I want a separate PDF file to open. I'm working in
FrameMaker 7, but the finished document will be published as a PDF.

 

I am using Scriptorium's FrameMaker 7 guide, which I consider my FM
bible and has always been very helpful. I can only assume that I'm being
especially dense this morning because I'm not understanding how to
create this link. It seems like I've done this before, and it wasn't
that difficult ... but it's been a while. (And my memory is fuzzy.)

 

The PDF I want to link is located in a folder on our network, not on a
website; otherwise, I'd use the Go to URL command from Special 
Hypertext.

 

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

OT: AutoBookmark plug-in for Acrobat

2010-11-22 Thread Jo Watkiss

Off topic I know ... but does anybody have any experience of
AutoBookmark plug-in for Acrobat?   At first appraisal it seems to do
what I want (check and report on links), but I'd be interested to know
if anybody has experience (good or bad) of it.  

I'd be equally happy with my old Ari's link checker - but it doesn't
work on Acrobat 9 and now it's bundled with lots of features that I
don't want and costs $$$.

off topic: e-drawings, eps files, frame and pdf

2010-10-28 Thread Jo Watkiss

Currently grappling with the transition from FM6 on XP to FM9 on Win 7.
No doubt there will be more questions to follow... :)

Subject: AW: off topic: e-drawings, eps files, frame and pdf

Hi Jo,

one of more solutions, following with e-drawings and Acrobat 8 or 9 Pro
Ext.:

1. Open Acrobat 8 Pro 3D or 9 Pro Ext.
2. Open the drawing with e-drawings, move it in the position you like
it.
3. Push PRTSC and the graphic from e-drawings will save in Acrobat, you
can save it as u3d in PDF.
4. Import this in your FrameMaker file.

Other way:
1. Open the Solidworks original file with Acrobat 8 Pro 3D Toolkit,
Acrobat 9 Pro Ext. 3D Previewer
or Take DEEP EXPLORATION from Right Hemisphere. 
2. Now you can reduce objects and save it as u3d.
2. Import this in your FrameMaker file.

Add-On: If you like to set links in FrameMaker to views and animations
in you u3d and to create a 3D PDF, then take 
SQUIDDS 3D Communication Package (www.squidds.de/en/3dpdf)

- Georg

I'm trying to get vector images from Solidworks e-drawings into
FrameMaker and then to PDF.  However in the resulting PDF, the vectors
draw so slowly on the page that it is causing problems for our readers.

RE: off topic: e-drawings, eps files, frame and pdf

2010-10-18 Thread Jo Watkiss

Thanks everybody for lots of advice and suggestions.

We don't have access to Solidworks itself, only the 3D e-drawing (.easm)
that is supplied by the project engineer. We use the Solidworks
eDrawings Viewer to manipulate the model to get the illustration that we
need. Unfortunately, if we want to export a vector, its 'all or nothing'
- which is probably why the resulting image renders so slowly on screen.


I agree that in a perfect world the engineer would create all the
illustrations we need as 2D PDFs directly from Solidworks; or we would
have another Solidworks licence so that we could do it ourselves.  In
our imperfect world, we have to make do with the eDrawing.

I've concluded its best to use a bitmap wherever possible, and a vector
only when absolutely necessary.

Cheers,
Jo

forum to help.

 

I'm trying to get vector images from Solidworks e-drawings into
FrameMaker and then to PDF.  However in the resulting PDF, the vectors
draw so slowly on the page that it is causing problems for our readers.


 

The path we are taking is:

Print from e-drawings to .ps file

Open .ps file in CorelDraw and save as .eps (or .wmf or .pdf - the end
result is the same)

Import .eps into Frame and then make PDF as normal

 

I think the source of the problem is the original .ps files, because
they are so complex (some images have 38,000+ objects in them).

 

If anybody knows how I can achieve better results, or can direct me to a
more appropriate forum or user group, I'd be very grateful.

 

Thanks,

Jo Watkiss

FrameMaker and then to PDF.  However in the resulting PDF, the vectors
draw so slowly on the page that it is causing problems for our readers.




The path we are taking is:

Print from e-drawings to .ps file

Open .ps file in CorelDraw and save as .eps (or .wmf or .pdf - the end
result is the same)

Import .eps into Frame and then make PDF as normal



I think the source of the problem is the original .ps files, because
they are so complex (some images have 38,000+ objects in them).



If anybody knows how I can achieve better results, or can direct me to a
more appropriate forum or user group, I'd be very grateful.



Thanks,

Jo Watkiss

Thanks Art and Stuart,

I needed to turn on the 'Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs'
option.
I have a feeling this issue has come up before, but I'd forgotten about
it! 

BTW - I'm printing a postscript file and then distilling, because it
seems to be the only way to get the book into a single PDF file. If I've
missed something, please let me know.

Thanks,

hyperlink problem

2009-11-24 Thread Jo Watkiss

I'm almost embarassed to ask a question about FrameMaker 6 - but I hope
you can cast your minds back and offer some help 
 
I have a book file with approx 10 files and numerous cross-references
between them.
All appears OK in Frame, but when I convert to a single PDF, some of
them work as hyperlinks and some don't.
I have been unable to find any pattern as to why some work and some
don't.
 
All are defined in the same way, and I've checked the destination
markers and they all look OK - for example:
Marker type: Cross-Ref
Marker Text: 76307: H2 Heading2: Collection Table Adjustment
 
I'm converting to PDF by 'writing' a postscript file using Adobe PDF and
then running through distiller.
I've tried toggling the postscript between 'optimise for speed' /
'optimise for portability', which makes no difference.

Open cross-reference in new window

Is it possible to make a cross-reference (not a marker) open in a new
window ? 
 
Here's the situation:
FrameMaker 9.0 book with approx 10 files.
Cross-references are both within and between the FM files.
The book is converted to a single PDF file.
 
For convenience, our readers sometimes want to open the cross-reference
in a new window - even though it means that then they have two copies of
the file open.  In Acrobat  Reader 8 and earlier, you can do this with
right-click 'open link in new window'.  But Adobe has removed this from
Acrobat  Reader 9.  So I'm looking for a work-around.
 
Any suggestions ?
 
As always, TIA for any help,

RE: Open cross-reference in new window

Hi Rick,

This works OK for links to a separate file, but not to links in the same
file.

Is there anything I can do in the Frame file to force cross reference to
open in a new link?

Unfortunately we also have incredibly inept readers and asking them to
change their preferences is unrealistic.

Do you get this message when starting FM 6, FM 9 or both?  Have you
looked at the contents of the fmreg.reg file (it's really just a text
file so you can open it in notepad or similar editor) to see what it is
trying to add?

Typically, these sort of files update the registry to associate file
types with applications, etc.   It may be because you loaded FM 9 and
the install process didn't delete its temporary files - did this message
start to appear after the FM 9 install?

I forget what the magic dimensions are, but there is a set of settings

Changing Paper size in template

2009-02-08 Thread Jo Watkiss

All our docs are on templates 210 x 279 (not 297)mm.  That way they
print OK on both A4 and on US letter.

I forget what the magic dimensions are, but there is a set of settings
for text frames that a few companies use that work, unchanged, on both
sizes of paper. Makes writing and pagination a bit easier because the
text layout and page count stay the same on both Letter and A4.

 'Print to file' doesn't work, and using Acrobat's 'Adobe PDF' just
produces a separate pdf file for each file in the book (with

 What am I doing wrong? I'm sure this ought to be possible.

RE: Book file PDF problem

Bad, bad, bad idea! This means you're generating PostScript specific to
that printer and with the limitations of that printer. 
Agree 100% - its only a work around for now until I get this sorted.

Anyway, if changing to a different printer driver changed your output
from separate chapter PDFs to a single book PDF, then something's wrong
somewhere.
Yup.

I suspect the answer is upgrade my FrameMaker.

FM7.2 has a Print Book As setting, and you can choose Single Print Job
or Separate Print Job for Each Document. IIRC, in FM6 you made it
separate jobs as Art said, by putting an asterisk in the name field. I
think the behavior when you didn't specify Print to File was to print
the book as one job (assuming you initially chose the Print Book
command), but can't swear to it.
 
 I have found a work around though - which is to print to file
targetting a
 different printer (ie. not Adobe PDF) - and then running that file
through
 distiller.

Bad, bad, bad idea! This means you're generating PostScript specific to
that printer and with the limitations of that printer. For instance, if
you picked a monochrome printer, your PDFs will have no color. There'll
be unprintable areas of the page specific to that printer's paper
handling characteristics. The PostScript code may target specific
characteristics of that physical printer, causing file bloat or odd
behavior in the resulting PDF. Etc., etc., etc. 

_Always_ use Adobe PDF for PDFs. 

Anyway, if changing to a different printer driver changed your output
from separate chapter PDFs to a single book PDF, then something's wrong
somewhere. 

You might want to review your steps and check all settings in both
procedures to see if anything else was different between the two
scenarios besides the printer driver.

RE: Book file PDF problem

Agreed - Frame 6 is ancient, and I suspect that's why I'm having these
problems.

Do you know if the FM8 evaluation will sit alongside my FM6 or would I
need to roll-back afterwards if necessary?

Thanks,

It's possible that it was introduced later than 6 -- there aren't a lot
of people using that version because it's an antique.

If I recall correctly, there is a field in which you specify the name of
the PDF file though. I also recall that if you put an asterisk in that
field, it's the signal to Acrobat to generate individual files.

If that doesn't work, some Googling may turn up the correct syntax, and
it's probably in the manual / online help.

 Jo,
 In the Frame Print dialog, is Save Boos As have Single File selected?
You may have the Separate File for Each Document selected.

me when I have Separate Files selected.

 Having recently upgraded to Acrobat 8 (from 5), I now find that I
can't print a book file to a single pdf.

 'Print to file' doesn't work, and using Acrobat's 'Adobe PDF' just
produces a separate pdf file for each file in the book (with
cross-document links broken).

 What am I doing wrong? I'm sure this ought to be possible.

 TIA

Book file > PDF problem

"Bad, bad, bad idea! This means you're generating PostScript specific to
that printer and with the limitations of that printer." 
Agree 100% - its only a work around for now until I get this sorted.

"Anyway, if changing to a different printer driver changed your output
from separate chapter PDFs to a single book PDF, then something's wrong
somewhere."
Yup.

I suspect the answer is upgrade my FrameMaker.

FM7.2 has a Print Book As setting, and you can choose Single Print Job
or Separate Print Job for Each Document. IIRC, in FM6 you made it
separate jobs as Art said, by putting an asterisk in the name field. I
think the behavior when you didn't specify Print to File was to print
the book as one job (assuming you initially chose the Print Book
command), but can't swear to it.

Bad, bad, bad idea! This means you're generating PostScript specific to
that printer and with the limitations of that printer. For instance, if
you picked a monochrome printer, your PDFs will have no color. There'll
be unprintable areas of the page specific to that printer's paper
handling characteristics. The PostScript code may target specific
characteristics of that physical printer, causing file bloat or odd
behavior in the resulting PDF. Etc., etc., etc. 

_Always_ use Adobe PDF for PDFs. 

Anyway, if changing to a different printer driver changed your output
from separate chapter PDFs to a single book PDF, then something's wrong
somewhere. 

You might want to review your steps and check all settings in both
procedures to see if anything else was different between the two
scenarios besides the printer driver.
