Re: OT--PDF Read Out Loud problem

2013-12-12 Thread Urszula

Carol,
Files created using Distiller create flat files, with no interactivity. They
may be repaired, using tedious methods in Acrobat. It is much better to create
accessible publications using techniques that take into consideration the
entire design and workflow to minimize repairs.

True accessibility is accomplished through PDF tags. That is where screen
reader software that people with disabilities use looks for content. One of
those is JAWS, much more sophisticated tool than Adobe Acrobat Read Out Loud
feature.

I recently posted an article specifically on accessibility in FrameMaker at
http://jetsetcom.net/uncategorised/building-adobe-framemaker-documents-for-accessibility.html

Distiller is print production centric, as it uses PostScript that drives
printing devices. There are newer methods that give better results, when focus
is on creating PDF files that are posted on line, thus required to be
accessible.

Last July, I posted this question to the Acrobat Community and got nowhere.
So I'm asking here in hope that I can find someone who has had this problem
and was able to fix it.

I'm using Acrobat XI Pro (fully updated to 11.0.05) on Windows7 (fully
patched). When I try to use the Read Out Loud feature on a PDF, Acrobat shuts
down. I am able to turn on (activate) the Read Out Loud feature, but when I
select Read to End of Page or Read This Document, Acrobat crashes. PDFs are
version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). They were created in Acrobat Distiller 11 using
the default Press job option settings. The documents are 100% accessible and
are fully tagged.

I have been unable to use Read Out Loud since I upgraded from Acrobat 9 Pro
last January. I've read dozens of articles on how to prepare your PDFs for
accessibility but this PDF is straight text--no tables, captions, etc. Just
text. No complicated reading order. So for the life of me I can't figure out
what to do to get the thing to read to me. I never had a problem before
Acrobat 11 and I've never had to do anything to prepare the PDF.

Help!

Carol

Re: Need a good introductory tutorial for FrameMaker 12

2014-01-23 Thread Urszula

David, just be sure you do not compare FrameMaker to PageMaker. Two different 
worlds, one long gone and replaced by InDesign.

FrameMaker is more like a very able text processor with focus on text content, 
rather than layout of individual pages. Be sure you cover master pages, format 
tags and catalogs.

Enjoy,

Re: [Framers] ANN: Bottlenecks for the Ride for Roswell

2016-05-16 Thread Urszula

Hi Rick,

How about paragraph alignment towards spine and away from spine? Anchored 
frames can be flexibly aligned this way, but not paragraphs! It would open 
great layout options both on master and body pages.

Thanks for your offer to contribute your time.

Re: [Framers] "Secret" Freeze Pagination Feature

2017-04-25 Thread Urszula

I think that Rick's comments are very helpful. I was not aware of the "page 
freeze" feature, but I certainly would use it if it simply meant that pages can 
be numbered using 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 system (as an example) for inserted pages.

To resolve exactly that issue, I resorted to creating a Flow B text frame, that 
can only fit one paragraph, positioned in the footer area. I created two 
Paragraph tags with autonumbering property defined for two levels (<n+> and 
.<n+>). Since only one paragraph can fit inside one frame, simply pressing 
Enter key numbers the pages. Needless to say, it is a very manual process to 
have all pages numbered. 

Additionally, FrameMaker does not have alignment towards or away from the spine 
for paragraphs, although it does for Anchored frames, which added to the 
"manual" aspect of the process. Fortunately, we use templates, so it needed to 
be done only once. 

The fact that current "page freeze" does not work in a Structured flow, it 
would make it useless in the current format.

In short, the "page freeze" feature would most likely be used, if it did not 
destroy pagination for the entire document. If the same issue of page numbering 
was to be dealt with in InDesign, it would be very simple few steps.

Re: FrameMaker, PDFs, and accessibility

2013-09-13 Thread Urszula Witherell

Requirement for document accessibility is that a document has a language
specified as a property. Typically it is done at the document level (from File
PropertiesAdvanced) or changed in a tag property
(right-clickPropertiesLanguage) if a specific tag language is different from
the rest of the content.

Acrobat PDF tags are limited, so en-us tag simply is not valid.

Valid accessibility PDF tags are similar to HTML tags. If any other tags are
used a Role Map needs to be updated in Acrobat, so that assistive software
readers, such as JAWS can interpret tags resulting from conversion to PDF.

Hope this helps,
Urszula

Re: mapping table mystery--or is it misery?

2013-09-17 Thread Urszula Witherell

Karen,

Does your file have text imported from Word or RTF? Depending on your import
options setup, Word styles come in as tags and they may be hiding in empty
paragraphs (spaces between paragraphs with FM tags) or as the very last tag
where end of the flow mark appears.

Do you use HTML Setup Utility? If so this is what updates your HTML Mapping
Table and automatically adds the new tags

This is where I would check first.

 is completely alien to anything used by our publication now or ever. That tag
 wasn't in last year's mapping table. I searched the current book for that
 format, and it was not found.
  While other obsolete/ghost paragraph tags repeatedly make their way into the
 mapping table, I'm not so concerned with those as with this one that is new
 and radically different. Where could it have come from, and how can I stop
 rogue formats from creeping into my documents through this path?
  Thanks,
  Karen

Re: adjusting an underline (underscore)

2014-05-01 Thread Urszula Witherell

Although using a table cell as a formatting feature is very common in
FrameMaker, it is only acceptable for publications printed on paper.
If a document is exported to online formats, such as PDF or HTML serious issues
appear. HTML code will be converted to an HTML table, with a full set of table
tags. PDF files will be rendered not accessible according to Section 508
Compliance standards, since table should only be used as data

Your best solution for controlling a line below a paragraph, that may resemble
an underline, is to create a line on a Reference Page, then update or create a
Paragraph Format Tag that refers to that line in Below Pgf,   Advanced
properties in the Paragraph Designer.

FM does not give you any direct control over the position, weight or type of the
line in an underline.

Best regards,
Urszula

FrameMaker, PDFs, and accessibility

2013-09-13 Thread Urszula Witherell

Requirement for document accessibility is that a document has a language
specified as a property. Typically it is done at the document level (from File
Properties>Advanced) or changed in a tag property
(right-click>Properties>Language) if a specific tag language is different from
the rest of the content.

Acrobat PDF tags are limited, so "en-us" tag simply is not valid.

Valid accessibility PDF tags are similar to HTML tags. If any other tags are
used a Role Map needs to be updated in Acrobat, so that assistive software
readers, such as JAWS can interpret tags resulting from conversion to PDF.

Hope this helps,
Urszula

mapping table mystery--or is it misery?

2013-09-17 Thread Urszula Witherell

Karen,

Does your file have text imported from Word or RTF? Depending on your import
options setup, Word styles come in as tags and they may be hiding in empty
paragraphs (spaces between paragraphs with FM tags) or as the very last tag
where end of the flow mark appears.

Do you use HTML Setup Utility? If so this is what updates your HTML Mapping
Table and automatically adds the new tags

This is where I would check first.

Urszula

Hi Everyone,
 
In a number of documents I have to start a paragraph numbering in a document
with a very specific paragraph number. Is there a way to do that?

Re: [Framers] where are graphic frame names on reference pages in FM12?

   Hi Bjorn,

   Frame names from Reference pages appear in Paragraph Designer on the

   I usually add a label above each frame using a Draw a Text Line

Re: [Framers] Won't recognize keystrokes

   Since I always forget the lock combination, I use a bit longer way to

   Create a new blank FM file

   From the top menu select Special>Hypertext...

   Once you have the Hypertext dialog box open, one of the buttons on the

   If you switch between the documents, you can lock and unlock your file
   without remembering the complicated shortcut keys.

Re: [Framers] Structured import: Sizing the image as well as the anchored frame

2017-05-15 Thread Urszula Witherell

   Hi Rick,

   I referenced in EDD an Object Style to format images. I used Object
   Styles>Object Properties>Scaling ... value. Provided it is consistent,
   it works quite well with images, though I had trouble with sizing
   frame. To remove the default offsetting of images in anchored frames,
   Read/Write rules includes these lines:

   element "img"
   {
   fm property horizontal offset value is "0";
   fm property vertical offset value is "0";

    etc.

   Perhaps if you can combine the methods, it will work.

 translate all these attributes. The r/w-rule only says:

 element "Graphic" {
 is fm graphic element;
 }

 You would have to add either "impsize" attributes or "dpi" values.
 I do not think this could be done by a r/w-rule.

 Rick Quatro:

 Hi All,

 I have a structured application that imports EPS images into the
 document. I have a couple of read/write rules for sizing the
 anchored
 frame:

 attribute "width" is fm property width; attribute "height" is fm
 property height;

 Here is the xml markup:

 

 When I import this into FrameMaker, I get the correct sizing on the
 anchored frame. However, the EPS does not get scaled at all. Is
 there
 a Read/Write rule or some other way to proportionately scale the EPS
 to fit the anchored frame?

 I can do it with a script, but I don't want to miss a better way.
 Thanks.

 Rick
