Linking HTML files from FrameMaker source
Hello, Can I create a hypertext from the source FrameMaker file to an html file in a different location? If so HOW? Please note the htmls are located in the product installation path and varies from user to user. I tried using the gotolink, message url et all nothing works as it seems that FM converts the relative path to absolute path. Help is appreciated.

Hyperlink in PDFs
Hello Framers, I have a hyperlink related query. Any help related to the issue would help me resolve the issue. 1. I have 38 books. Each book has 10+ chapters and each book resides in individual folders. 2. Individual book pdfs are created and stored in their respective folders. 3. When I open any pdf the hyperlinks work fine across all the books. 4. I use Quadraly Webworks to generate the htmls for the online document set. In the online UI we have a pdf icon. Clicking the icon leads to a page that lists all the manuals with a two liner description of the manual. Clicking on the manual name opens its pdf format. This feature is called the book case. 5. For the book case to work from the HTML UI it is mandatory that all the individual book pdfs reside in a separate folder in the HTML Output folder. For example : 1. All my source files and individual pdfs reside in: Share/ Doc: ABD User'Guide ABD Library Reference Manual ABD SPD-PA Flow User's Guide and so on. The above three are individual folders. 2. The HTML pages are in stored in the individual folders of each book: For example: Outpu/t: ABD User'Guide ABD Library Reference Manual ABD SPD-PA Flow User's Guide and so on. Pdf- this stores all the pdfs only. When I open any pdf from 1. above all the cross-references and the hyperlinks across books work fine. When I open any pdf from 2. above all the cross-references work fine but the hyperlinks do not as it is unable to locate the pdfs. In the source files I created the hyperlinks using the gotolink hyperlink option and provide the path of the source files. If I give the path of the pdf location of the Output folder then the cross-references and hyperlinks will not work in the HTMLs. The workaround for this issue is to have a flat structure instead of the hierarchical structure that I currently have. I cannot have a flat structure because all the folder names and the location are hard coded in the script when the build is made. This has been the practice for along time and not possible to change. So framers any suggestion from your end to resolve this issue without changing the file folder structure? Please note this is not a Webworks issue but a limitation of Adobe. Any suggestions and workarounds would be appreciated. Regards, Jaya

Anybody out there using Automap?
Hello framers, I FM 7.0 and to convert the manuals to HTML have recently started using AutoMap. My queries are: 1. Is there an Automap users forum, if so can I have the link please? I could not find anything on the net. 2. If one of you have used Automap then probably you cud answer my queries. 3. Automap says it's a floating license. Currently we have single license that is being by 3 writers. We have scheduled our job to ensure that at a time only one job runs. Still face numerous problems that am not able to debug. When a job terminates it simply reports unable to create project or no free license available or all your license keys have expired, order for more licenses from Quadralay or unable to deploy . Ours is an EDA industry and we have about 5 products and each product has about 45 manuals each. These errors occur randomly that is sometimes the project is created fine with all the links and books working fine including the HTMLs and sometimes it does not. It fails most of the time on the day we are supposed to deliver the contents to the configuration management team - Murphy's Law I suppose :-) 4. Can anyone enlighten me on as to why I get the license errors when it happens to be a floating license? 5. Has anybody on the list encountered similar problems related to Automap? We are using the Automap 2000 Platinum Edition. Any help/feedback on these queries will be really helpful as I seem to wasting lot of time trying to debug the issues as the error messages are anything but intuitive.

RE: Quieries related to Frame maker
Hello Framers, First of all let me thank all of you out there for responding to my queries. Thanks a ton. Art, as asked by you am providing further details to my query as under. 3. What are the options of resizing a large image without compromising on the quality? The scaling option messes up the resolution. More details, please. 1. Our manuals include many screen shots which are too large to fit the document. 2. So we were applying a graphic tag to all the images. After converting to HTML and PDF the images seemed fine, that is resized to a smaller image without compromising much on the quality. But of late the tag seems to be corrupted. On applying the tag the images look distorted and the background changes from gray to white. Until now we had to buy hours from Quadralay to fix the issues. The hours have exhausted so was wondering that before we approach the Quadraly people if I could get some help from the list and resolve the graphic issue ourselves. 3. I was in favor of using Photoshop to resolve this issue but others in the team are not keen due to the effort required - learning curve and manually resize. Hope this helps to respond to my query.
