Re: [Framers] Adobe removes functionality from a perpetual license? Adobe response???

2023-04-06 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Tammy, our company has had it with Adobe. Except for Acrobat (for which we 
succumbed and paid their subscription fee), we have pretty much dumped Adobe 
products. Sadly, we have also relegated FrameMaker to "use only if you must." 
We stopped upgrading after FM12, which I continue to use when necessary and 
still works quite well. We now are moving everything to a content management 
system, Author-it. Their Author tool is clunky and can be a pain to use, but it 
works, and has enabled us to do things with digital editions that we couldn't 
do with FM. We now can offer documentation as a portable website that's 
contained on a USB card and can be easily copied to any device. If we can ever 
get our Swiss owners to allow customers to download updates from the internet, 
customers will be able to keep their documents up to date with a few easy 
clicks. (I'm retiring in February, so I'm not holding my breath on that one).

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Framers] Adobe removes functionality from a perpetual 
license? Adobe response???

Warning: LONG POST!!!

I have Framemaker 2019 (the last version for which a perpetual license was 
sold) and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (a perpetual license) and have successfully used 
this combination for years to create Reader-Extended PDFs that my users can 
comment on for editing purposes. As old as Acrobat Pro is, I have NOT needed to 
upgrade to any version as I use only this basic function in it. Yesterday, out 
of the blue, after creating a Reader-Extended PDF that was enabled for 
commenting and measuring, I received the following Error message: You do not 
have permission to write to this file.  To say that I was stumped was an 
understatement. I am an independent contractor and therefore, the account that 
I use for my business systems is my Administrator account - full privileges to 
do anything and everything that I need/want to do - and I couldn't fathom why I 
was getting this message/ how it was being generated.  I thought that perhaps 
at first it had to with a hiccup caused by a recent Windows update. (If
  you recall, a Windows update a few years back torpedoed the Adobe PDF engine 
and users were unable to generate PDFs from Framemaker, Word, etc.)

I reached out to Rick Quatro for assistance as it was related to PDF generation 
and after a bit of sleuthing on his part, he came across this post from Adobe 
(just put an https:// in front of this): 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__helpx.adobe.com_ca_acrobat_kb_reader-2Dextended-2Dpdfs-2Dand-2Dadobe-2Droot-2Dca-2Dexpiry.html=DwICAg=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM=zzmJd9V-AOY-pLCA-v8cPy_mRSvZCZwNZBdUabWmOfQ=N7xZ2SjYf4AG7gXHAF6jlfTdRjjovWu49q-x9Y15iRI=qNGFBsODVSEOEeb7vpDa5z_nT0lAFRxUb-s_HWJCjfE=.

In a nutshell, this post states that Adobe is removing functionality from its 
Acrobat products, including those that had a perpetual license and the ONLY 
option that a user has who owns an Acrobat version older than 2017 is to 
upgrade to the latest version. (Users w/ versions 2017 and older have the 
option to download updates to resolve this issue.)  I won't get into the 
details of the visceral response that this elicited in me, but has anyone EVER 
had an issue with any other vendor besides Adobe removing functionality from an 
application for which you purchased a perpetual license? I am not referring to 
support - I totally understand why a vendor no longer provides updates/supports 
for older versions of SW, but removing functionality to force you to upgrade? 
This does not remotely strike me as ethical, let alone, can it be legal? The 
real icing on the cake is that without a formal warning/announcement sent to 
the affected users, how would you even know that this would be an issue? R
   ealistically, would a user of a perpetual license go to the vendor's website 
to look specifically for an announcement because you just were wondering if you 
were going to lose functionality in your application?

Adobe keeps putting nail after nail into the coffins of some of its most loyal 
users (I have been a Framemaker user since 1996) and it's for reasons such as 
this that I have recommended MadCap Flare or other vendor products for my most 
recent client projects.

Does anybody from Adobe care to comment about this? As an IC that is 
semi-retired and that is on a tight budget, having to upgrade to a subscription 
license just to get the most basic of functionality that I thought that I 
should always have because I purchased a PERPETUAL license is unfathomable to 
me and not remotely financially feasible and several other users w/ whom I have 
spoken.

Thanks!

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 10 won't run on Windows 11

2023-01-25 Thread Tom Beiswenger

When our IT department upgraded everyone to Win 10 a few years ago, we 
encountered a few problems with FM12. Most were little glitches that I found 
ways to work around (such as save as PDF, which would run and look like it was 
working only to return an empty file many minutes later). The work around was 
to create a tiny book and run save as PDF on it first (taking only a few 
seconds), and then running save as PDF on the book. There were also a few other 
problems that IT encountered, which they resolved by working with Adobe 
(another reason why we have moved almost completely from using Adobe -- totally 
crappy customer service WHEN you finally can get a live person on the line).

Ok, based upon the most recent list responses I think we have two separate 
issues being conflated here and the answers being provided aren't necessarily 
to the questions being asked:

1. Do **newer** versions of Frame still run on Windows 10 or do they now 
require Windows 11.

2. Do **older** versions run on Windows 11 or do they require Windows 10.

Two very different scenarios IMO.

No problems at all - but I bet I wouldn't get any support from Adobe if an

Jeff, you don't have to rename it. The zip archive can be opened via the 7-zip

Excel files that have graphics embedded in them. Had no trouble finding them in

OK,

This is kinda' a combination question, and I hope that I can articulate the 
issue what I am running into. I have many Excel charts/graphics that I must 
incorporate into a manual. My SME has provided these graphics in an Excel 
spreadsheet, with one graphic per tab/sheet.

I have Excel 2016, and there is a known issue that Microsoft NEVER bothered to 
fix in that the Save As Picture option on the graphic context menu (right-click 
the any border of the graphic to open the context menu) just got nuked/blown 
away after some long ago updates and never added back in to the menu, so the 
workaround is to right-click the graphic, select Copy, and then Paste the 
copied graphic into a blank PPT slide. You can then right-click on the graphic 
in PPT and the Save as Picture option is there, so I do this and then save the 
picture as a PNG and it looks just as expected with borders, legends . . . 
Nothing is missing in the pasted graphic.

Now, in both the pasted graphic in PPT and in the saved PNG when opened in 
SnagIT, the bottom border of the graphic is clearly displayed - you can see all 
four borders (top, bottom, and right and left sides); however, when I then 
import the graphic by reference into an anchored frame in Framemaker (2019, 
64-bit), the bottom border NEVER shows - I thought that maybe it was just a 
display funkiness in the source file, but when I save the source file as a PDF, 
and open the PDF and even increase the magnification, the bottom border is just 
not showing, so after I save the chart as a PNG in SnagIt, I then have to 
manually draw in the bottom border over the bottom border that is already 
displayed and then I can save the PNG and import it and the bottom border 
shows. Does this even  make sense?

If anyone has any ideas as to why I am seeing this quirk and what to do about 
it, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Not sure that this will help, but every MS file - Word, PowerPoint, Excel - are 
also zip files. If you right-click on the file name, you'll see a menu that 
includes 7-zip and an option to open the archive file. In the xl folder, you 
should see a media folder. If there are any graphics in the Excel file, they 
will be listed individually there.

book to MIF?

 

I couldn't find anything in the manual and none of the included scripts appear 
suitable (based on the limited info given by folder names).

Re: [Framers] Save to PDF - Minutes turned into hours

2022-06-13 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Our company also is still using FM12. All was well until everyone was upgraded 
to Windows 10 and the company wasn't willing to pay the subscription price for 
upgrading FM from a 32 bit app to 64 bit. Save to PDF was broken. After 
attempting to save two large books to PDF and ended up one "no file"
 and one that worked, I discovered that if I created a little dummy book (a 3-4 
page) FM book and always did a save as PDF on it before doing the same with a 
real book, the save as PDF worked. That was several years ago. I only have to 
run the dummy book once during an FM session. Not sure why it works, but it 
does.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Framers] Save to PDF - Minutes turned into hours

Hi All,

One-by-one, we're all experiencing a problem saving as PDF. We're still using 
FM12. It does not matter if we're working on the network or local HDD.

We know the IT group changed virus protection from Sophos to Windows Security 
and we've disabled everything we can. I'm not sure if that is related or if 
there could have been a Windows update that has affected this version of FM. 
We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.


Any suggestions?

Thanks, C2

[Framers] How to do a Find/Change when the replacement includes a superscript

2022-06-10 Thread Tom Beiswenger

I have a document that that we are repurposing for a "new" machine. Even though 
the machine is an improved version of the original, most of the document 
applies to the new machine. The problem is that marketing decided to give the 
machine a new name that includes superscript text, as in Machine X500. How do I 
use Find/Change (we are using FM12) to globally replace "Machine X" with 
"Machine X500"?

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] ps file being used by another process

2021-09-10 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Bodvar,

I'm running FM 12. Years ago, I had the same problem, which was created when IT 
installed FM and allowed FM to install its verson of Adobe's pdf generator. 
This caused FM to ignore the fact that I already had a full version of Acrobat. 
The solution was to uninstall FM and reinstall and not allow it to install what 
became known as a "headless" printer.

After that, I always used Save as PDF, and when I selected Adobe PDF as the 
printer, it printed the document using my already installed Acrobat app.

Uninstalling and reinstalling might have been a more severe solution than 
needed, but it worked and the IT guys were happy that they never had to monkey 
with FM again, which was fine by me.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Framers] ps file being used by another process

Hi Framers,

I am suddenly stuck with a new problem. When trying to print an fm file to ps 
and then distilling it I either get the message "Cannot open this file.
The file is being used by another process."
Even if I close Framemaker I still get this message.
Also, if I try to open the ps file in Distiller, I get the message that I don't 
have the permission to open the file. And when trying to change the ownership 
of the file, I just get another similar message and the file disappears.
Save as pdf gives the same kind of error messages.
And Adobe PDF is my default printer.
What could be wrong?

I'm on a deadline, so any help soon would be appreciated.
Earlier today I had no problem pdf-ing from Affinity Publisher.

Kind regards,
Bodvar Bjorgvinsson

[Framers] How do I edit the personal dictionary in FM 12?

2021-07-23 Thread Tom Beiswenger

I've noticed lately that the FM spell checker has missed typos that should have 
been caught. I can only assume that at some point, I clicked Learn on a 
misspelled word. I would like to check this dictionary and clean up/correct any 
misspelled item in it. How do I do this?

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] Backups

2021-06-17 Thread Tom Beiswenger

I swear by Rick Quattro's ArchiveES and Convert Documents add-ons. ArchiveES 
archives the complete book, including graphics and text insets, and maintains 
the integrity of all links and cross-references in another location. We then 
run the Convert Documents on the archive to add mif conversions of all of the 
FM files to the archive, which makes it easier for us to work across platforms 
with other users, especially translation agencies.

One of the first FM lifesavers I heard about in the early days was Bruce 
Foster's Archive utility. It copied FM document folders to specified locations 
and adjusted reference links.

Perhaps someone on the list knows if it still works with recent Windows and FM 
releases, where to find it, etc.

Done. Thanks, Lin. Hopefully, someone will have a solution. I'm still waiting

I suggest you post your question on the Adobe Support Communities FrameMaker

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] Adobe Flash Player EOL - How can I still embed video in FM documents saved as PDFs?

2021-01-15 Thread Tom Beiswenger

It appears that the problem is FrameMaker. The version that I have (12) 
converts all supported video content (regardless of format) to Flash standard. 
This apparently means that whenever I "Save as PDF" in FM, the videos in the 
resultant PDF document require a Flash player to run them. I am going to 
download a trial version of FM this weekend and see if the problem goes away. 
These video tutorials are integral our manuals, so if FM-generated PDF 
documents still will not run the videos, we may be looking at having to find 
another solution.

If Flash still runs on your machine, can it export the videos to a more common 
embeddable format?

If it can't export, perhaps you can run the videos in Flash on your machine and 
record them with another tool. Yeah, lots of work, but probably easier than 
starting from scratch.

If the existing tutorials are interactive and take user input, well...

[Framers] Adobe Flash Player EOL - How can I still embed video in FM documents saved as PDFs?

2021-01-14 Thread Tom Beiswenger

I guess I knew this was coming, but when Adobe killed Flash, no alternative was 
offered. This potentially means that all of the digital editions of our manuals 
that include video tutorials no longer work. Is there another solution for 
embedding video in FrameMaker. For reference, I'm using FM12 running on Windows 
10.

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based

2020-08-26 Thread Tom Beiswenger

This may be a really stupid question, but because it involves an Adobe product, 
it probably isn't... what happens to those of us using earlier versions of FM? 
I am the only writer in our company using FM and work with FM12 on a new 
Windows 10 laptop. FM12 is a little quirky on Win 10, but I've found ways to 
adapt so that I can keep FM. The alternative for me would be to go to AuthorIT, 
which isn't bad, but really isn't very good about creating books for print and 
digital (using conditional tags that allows us to optimize the book for digital 
display).

You are correct, and I mentioned that on the FrameMaker group on the Adobe 
forums. That's not the only issue on Adobe's site. At the moment, the only way 
that I, who have a Teams subscription through work, could upgrade to FM2020, 
was to download the free trial. There's a download link on the account page for 
our FM subscription, but it takes you to the CREATIVE CLOUD downloads page and 
has for more than a year. I've made multiple complaints but Adobe hasn't fixed 
it. FM seem to be the red-headed stepchild of Adobe.

As to an earlier email of yours, there is no difference between someone 
upgrading from an earlier version to 2020 or someone getting a new subscription 
to 2020. The subscription price is the same for everyone.
There are two annual options (no monthly option for FM!): one is to prepay for 
a year (about $360), the other is to pay monthly ($29.99) for a year's 
subscription (which totals about $360) with cancellation fees if you cancel it 
early.

[Framers] Video tutorials in book that was saved as PDF don't work

2020-08-01 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Working with FM12 on Windows 10. The book is a 300 page document that includes
approximately 30 short video tutorials. When I generate the pdf using the Save
as PDF option, the video icon appears where inserted, but is not active. The
size of the final pdf, only 102 mb, also is a tell-tale that the distilling
didn't pick up the videos. I would expect this book to come in at 500-600 mb. I
have added videos to manuals many times in the past, both on Windows 7 Pro and,
now, Windows 10, and the books have worked beautifully. The generation process
also seemed short (about 10 minutes); typically, our video-enhanced books can
take up to 15-20 minutes to generate.

Any ideas on what I can do to generate the manuals with the videos? I have gone
through the book and, in the FM file, verified that the videos are there and
will play. I also made sure that the resolution of the output mp4 file from my
video editing app (Movavi Video Suite 2020) was correct. I had tried a smaller
size, but the videos just came up as a black box. I also test-ran a "saved as
PDF" chapter file to verify that the videos would play, too.

Is there a limit to the number of multimedia items that you can add to a
document?

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] Inserting checkmark in a table cell (FM12)

2020-07-22 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Neat trick! Since I only use the check mark infrequently and probably will 
forget all of this by the time I need it again, I created a new character tag - 
Check-0080 - in Character Designer and added it to the character catalog that I 
have in all of my templates and then imported the character formats from the 
open file to all of my other templates. Click Alt+0080 and, bingo!, there's my 
checkmark. No need to add a text frame. If I need to add text, I simply change 
to my Default Font.

Thanks Janet & Shmuel!

Maybe this is clear to some people, but I thought I might clarify this since I 
just figured it out myself.

Alt+ works for Unicode fonts as well, but only for the first 255
characters of the font. ANSI fonts are 8-bit fonts, which only have 255 
characters. Unicode fonts have a very large number of characters, but you can 
still use Alt+ for the first 255 characters of the Unicode font. In the 
Windows Character Map, if you select the Advanced view checkbox, it shows 
whether the font is Unicode or another font type. For Unicode fonts, it still 
shows the Alt keystroke at the bottom-right for characters in the 255 range. 
Strangely enough, the Windows Character Map doesn't show *all* the Alt 
keystrokes within in the 255 range, even though they seem to all work.

So as Janet said, in the Windings2 font, ALT-0080 gives you a checkmark.

I usually use the Windows Character Map to copy and paste symbols like that. 
I'd suggest using it to find the ASCII/ANSI code for a checkmark in your font. 
If it's not something you can enter using Alt+# (and in our corporate font, 
there isn't one, it's Unicode only), then copy it into a variable and use that 
instead. Or you can use the radical character (a.k.a.
square root), which is Alt+251.

[Framers] Videos in FrameMaker, setting properties in Acrobat

2020-06-18 Thread Tom Beiswenger

This is not a strictly FrameMaker question, but hoping that someone out there
has done this and can help.

We are starting to use video tutorials in many of our instruction manuals.
These videos are referenced in the FrameMaker files and then set up to play in
Adobe Acrobat. I don't like the default setting for videos in Acrobat. I want
to play them in a floating window and at a specific size (the default in
Acrobat -- 320 x 240 -- is too small). In addition to changing the Playback
Style to "Play content on floating window," I also change the size of the video
playback window to 960 x 540 (which matches the scale of the videos that I am
using). Currently, I have to do this at every video in the manual. Is there a
way to "permanently" change the default settings to those that match what I
need?

Perhaps the "missing link" to the failure can be found there.
Unfortunately, I've forgotten how to do that magic.

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] FrameMaker 11 - blank pages appearing at the end of imported file

2020-04-16 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Sometimes that is not enough. If you still have empty pages, in the top ribbon, 
click Special. In the drop down, click Delete pages..., and then enter the page 
number(s) to delete. That has always worked for me.

Check your pagination. If you have it set to an even number of pages and
your text ends on an odd number, FM inserts a blank page at the end.

Format > Page Layout > Pagination > Before Saving & Printing drop-down. If
it's set to "Make Page Count Even", there's your culprit.

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] ANN: Ride for Roswell and FrameMaker Automation

2020-03-30 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Rick,

I can think of a script that would be useful (and you might have already 
thought of it).

Every time I do a revision I use the rename book components that you did for me 
to save tons of time. However, I still have to go through are revise the 
headers. Normally, I change the header (includes document number) in one 
chapter, then select all of the other parts of the document and import variable 
definitions. This works, but I still have to go back to restore the running H/F 
for the preface, TOC, and Glossaries (each of which has a separate paragraph 
tag). If there was a script that integrated all of that into one, or at least a 
way to import variable definitions while ignoring those that have running 
headers that are different from the source document, that could also be quite 
useful.

Hello Framers,

 

I am planning to participate in the 2020 Ride for Roswell in June to raise
money for cancer treatment and research. This is the 25th anniversary of the
ride, which last year attracted over 8,000 riders. I am signed up for the
100-mile route again this year. I am riding in memory of Bruce Foster and in
honor of cancer survivor Alexandra Duffy, both long-time members of the
FrameMaker community.

 

Head over to my blog to get more information on receiving my scripts in
exchange for a donation. There are also a couple of goodies that are new
offerings this year. I would appreciate suggestions for other automation
scripts. Thank you very much.

Re: [Framers] Batch Word Conversion

2019-12-04 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Hi Klaus,

I, too, might be interested in the Word-to-FrameMaker solution. We just 
acquired a company in Germany that has used Word for all of their machine 
manuals. I have not yet seen any of their manuals, but depending on their 
complexity, we also may need a simple solution to convert these Word files into 
FM books.

Hello FrameUsers,

I suspect that some of the email addresses may have been sourced from 
unscrupulous web site that store data from breaches in web site security.

It should be remembered that back in October 2013, over 153 million 
Adobe accounts were breached with each containing an internal ID, 
username, email, encrypted password and a password hint in plain text. 
The password cryptography was poorly done and many were quickly resolved 
back to plain text. The unencrypted hints also disclosed much about the 
passwords adding further to the risk that hundreds of millions of Adobe 
customers already faced.   The compromised data from this event was: 
Email addresses, Password hints, Passwords, and Usernames

You might want to check your email address using the "Have I Been 
Pwned?" site:

Re: [Framers] Confirm Security dialog pops up in Acrobat Distiller when "Save As PDF" started in FM12

2019-05-13 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Problem solved. Open Acrobat Distiller. Click File, and then Preferences. In 
the Security section, select the option to "Trust All Files Opened Via Acrobat 
Distiller." Did that and the annoying message no longer appears and I don't 
have Distiller questioning my trustworthiness.

[Framers] Confirm Security dialog pops up in Acrobat Distiller when "Save As PDF" started in FM12

2019-05-13 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Every time that I generate a book using the Save As PDF command, I get a 
"Confirm Security" dialog asking me "Are you sure that this file is from a 
trustworthy source and you want to convert it?".

Never mind that this is my own content and that I consider myself trustworthy, 
I don't think it's necessary to have to answer this question every time that I 
want to generate a book. This only recently started popping up with the save as 
PDF command starts Distiller. This is particularly annoying when the book is a 
large volume that can take several minutes just to get to the point where 
Distiller opens.

Any ideas on how to close this annoying Adobe message forever? 

Running FM12 on Win10, 64-bit OS on a new laptop that I've been using for 
almost a year now. This message only started appearing about a month ago.

Re: [Framers] Last Mile problem...

2019-02-20 Thread Tom Beiswenger

No. You have to have to be logged into Windchill and have access rights. For 
example, we have two "release" modes: Release-Pub and Release-Int. Everyone who 
has access to Windchill is able to access parts (in my case tech docs). 
Release-Int restricts access only to those who have rights to see and download 
parts that are internal only. Since this is also the main archive for 
engineering drawings, this is not a category often used for manuals; however, I 
did have one book recently that I wrote that was written specifically for field 
service engineers, so was not to be available to anyone outside of that 
organization.

Art,

We use Winchill to archive all engineering drawings and manuals. For us, the 
primary content for a manual is the pdf file. We also can include additional 
content in the "vault drawing" for manual covers, labels, etc. All of these 
also are in pdf.

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?

Re: [Framers] Package function with external links?

2019-01-30 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Let me add my 2 cents. We've been using Rick's script for years. Since most of 
our manuals are translated into numerous languages, the archive that this 
script creates makes it easy for my assistant to literally upload everything 
the translator needs in a matter of minutes, knowing that the integrity of the 
revision submitted for translation will be maintained.

It's also extremely fast -- usually under a minute or two, and that's for a 
400+ page manual that contains hundreds of graphics and several embedded videos.

Subject: [Framers] Package function with external links?

Hi all,
As most of you probably know, the Package function in FM 2019 only works
when referenced graphics are placed in the same folder (or a subfolder) as
the FM files.
That doesn't work for us, because we have a lot of graphics and text insets
that are used in several manuals, and we want to keep them updated in only
one place.
So: Does anyone know of another tool or script that will let us create an
archive with the FM files and referenced (external) graphics, similar to the
"Archive" script we used with our old FM10? I looked a bit at Finalyser, but
it seems to be quite expensive (999 Euro) when we only really need the
package function...
I hope you can help!
Best regards,
Christiane

Re: [Framers] OT: Punctuation question

2019-01-08 Thread Tom Beiswenger

It's more than "Oxford style." The use of a serial comma is covered in the 
Chicago Manual of Style. Per entry 5.50: "In a series consisting of three or 
more elements, the elements are separated by commas. When a conjunction joins 
the last two elements in a series, a comma is used before the conjunction." The 
British "The Economist Style Guide" specifically directs writers to NOT use a 
serial comma.

I have followed the serial comma rule since I went from being a newspaper 
journalist to being a technical writer nearly 30 years ago. My personal opinion 
is that the serial comma can be optional, but whether it is used or no used 
must be consistent throughout any document or book. We have been using it for 
more than 30 years. I see no need to change.

You are correct; I miswrote. 'Oxford Guide to Style', R M Ritter (an American 
gentleman, by the way), OUP 2002, pp 121-122. This cites many instances where 
the serial comma is necessary to avoid ambiguity, but admits that omitting it 
is often done in US and UK English, but then goes on to suggest that you might 
as well bung it in anyway.

However, following the publication of this book there was a good deal of 
spirited debate on the topic. As far as I remember (and I communicated with Mr 
Ritter at the time but have mislaid the emails), the consensus, based on 
several existing styles guides, was that 'UK style' was to omit the serial 
comma unless by so doing ambiguity was introduced, while US style was always to 
include it.

Here for example is the relevant part of the British Psycholoigcal Society's 
style guide:

[Commas are...] Not required before 'and' in a list of items, unless to avoid 
an ambiguity or to clarify where one item ends and another begins (particularly 
where the items are lengthy). Examples:

* ..in the professional work of clinical, forensic and educational 
psychologists.

* The Bishops of Winchester, and Bath and Wells [two bishops, not three]

Or this from the Thomson Learning style guide:

* Do not impose serial commas in lists of three or more items except to avoid 
ambiguity.

Or from The Economist style guide:

* Lists: with lists do not put a comma before 'and' at the end of a sequence of 
items unless one of the items includes another 'and'.

Thus:

'The doctor suggested an aspirin, half a grapefruit and a cup of broth. But he 
ordered scrambled eggs, whisky and soda, and a selection from the trolley.'

Tammy,

I would only modify John's version to the following:

The information is displayed across five tabs (left to right): Overview, 
Category, Locus,
Sequence, and Details.

In my earlier life as a newspaper editor (no, I'm not as ancient as some people 
think), placing left to right in parentheses, was essentially the AP style for 
photo captions.

You would think so, but in another part of the manual, there is a plot that
distinctly shows a legend, and instead of only referring to the legend (as
in see legend for plot details), I was required to literally explain the
legend verbatim, as in Forward is highlighted in blue, Reverse is
highlighted in red, non-directional is highlighted in black, etc.

Re: [Framers] Save As PDF doesn't work first time

2018-08-23 Thread Tom Beiswenger

Art,

I am checking the Generate PDF Data checkbox. As for FM17, there have been 
lots of complaints about it on this forum about that version. Rick Quatro 
suggested that I wait for FM19, which is supposed to resolve the problems 
of previous versions and be a fully 64-bit app. Now that FM19 is out, I 
may wait a little before upgrading to give Adobe time to work out initial 
issues that always seem to occur with the birth of a new edition. That, 
and I will need to convince our IT staff that spending a grand on a new 
revision is worth it. My colleague in another division moved from 
FrameMaker to AuthorIT a few years ago. He loves it, because he has lots 
of reusable chunks of text, which I don't have. And I have many more 
manuals for which I am responsible than he does.

And, even more important to me, at least, is that FM is pretty universal 
and this forum is an incredibly good place to get help from real experts.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get forced to move from FM to AIT.

Re: [Framers] Save As PDF doesn't work first time

2018-08-23 Thread Tom Beiswenger

That, unfortunately, does not work. Although all of the hyperlinks work using 
that method, the videos embedded in the PDF (which are inserted by reference in 
the original FM 12 doc) will not play. Save as PDF is the only method that I've 
found that gives the PDF all of the functionality that I've built into the 
book. The behavior I referenced originally just started when our IT grout 
upgraded me to a new Dell notebook running Win 10.

On the Frame menu, click File > Print Setup and choose Adobe PDF from the
list of installed printers, or you can select it as the printer when using
File > Print.

Save as PDF has been pretty much fixed in the last couple of Frame
versions, but IIRC (memory fuzzy), 12 was the last version where it still
had some issues.

What is the Acrobat logical printer? Our documents often have video tutorials 
in them. The only way that I've been able to make them work is to us the Save 
as PDF command.

[Framers] Save As PDF doesn't work first time

2018-08-23 Thread Tom Beiswenger

This is an odd one, but might be related to running FM 12 in a Windows 10 
environment.

When I open an FM book for the first time and then try to save it as PDF, FM 
goes non-responsive (normal) and the little rotating Adobe icon appears at the 
lower right hand toolbar (not normal). A "phantom" pdf document eventually 
appears, but so does a message, "There was an error opening this document. This 
file cannot be found."

Distiller also appears in my quick start toolbar, but when I open Distiller, 
the file shown is empty.

I then close the phantom pdf document, go back to the FM book and run Save as 
PDF again. This time it works as expected: FM goes non-responsive, Distiller 
opens (eventually) and a progress bar appears with Distiller until the document 
is fully generated. The document -- real one this time -- appears and all is 
good.

I'm starting to get used to this new behavior, but sure would like to know if 
there is a fix for this annoyance.

[Framers] Videos won't play (FM12 on Win10)

2018-08-13 Thread Tom Beiswenger

I have several digital edition PDFs of documents that contain video tutorials 
(mp4 files). These tutorials played just fine in earlier revisions of these 
documents in Win XP. Since our IT group upgraded us to new Dell notebooks, 
running Win 10, the videos no longer play. Instead I get a warning telling me 
that Flash Player is required to run the tutorials. I installed the new Adobe 
Flash Player and restarted the notebook, but I still get the Flash Player 
warning. How do I re-enable this content?

Re: [Framers] Update on printing issue with Windows 10 1803 Build

2018-07-09 Thread tom . beiswenger

That helps. Some. 

So, once MS releases the patch for 1803, will it also be necessary to 
update FM? I hope not. I'm happy with FM12 and our IT guys always complain 
when we need to update FM because of the cost. Never mind that we can 
spend lots more on other programs. My colleague in another division has 
switched to Author-IT, and I'm afraid they will force me to go that route. 
AIT isn't bad, but I manage a ton more documents that my colleague does. 
Converting everything from FM to AIT would be a royal pain...

There is no installer for this file - you have to extract the EXE file,

According to the Adobe Tech Comms Tools Product Manager, there's a forum

Re: [Framers] Update on printing issue with Windows 10 1803 Build

I read through the notes, but I don't recognize anything in it that 
specifically addresses the FM issue. Are they saying that they think that 
they have this issue resolved?

Hi All

Just to update you on Windows 10 (1803 build) issue which impacted File -> 
Print and File -> Save as PDF options with FrameMaker (Versions 12, 2015, 
and 2017).

We have been working closely with the Microsoft team on this issue, and 
recently an insider Windows 10 build was released:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__blogs.windows.com_windowsexperience_2018_06_06_announcing-2Dwindows-2D10-2Dinsider-2Dpreview-2Dbuild-2D17686_=DwICAg=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM=zzmJd9V-AOY-pLCA-v8cPy_mRSvZCZwNZBdUabWmOfQ=EzsTqFcqMMeruyw65WC106Ka_VJ-jsuk87F39NQ3FN0=hy4Cqk3eifkw2fWpZmhxwZTb8IEzlnbIYsb264peE4k=


We have started testing out the issue that was reported on this insider 
build and the initial testing indicates that this issue has been resolved. 
We are still in the process of further verification and confirming that 
the issue has been resolved back to Microsoft team.

For those of you who have access to Windows 10 Insider preview builds (or 
would like to get enrolled in the beta program for Windows) , please visit 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__insider.windows.com_en-2Dus_=DwICAg=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM=zzmJd9V-AOY-pLCA-v8cPy_mRSvZCZwNZBdUabWmOfQ=EzsTqFcqMMeruyw65WC106Ka_VJ-jsuk87F39NQ3FN0=bfyRGemGm6k8e2xJQx3RaMFtTX2tf-9hWeSy4EAuKkA=
 
and try the new preview build. Once installed, if you check you Windows 
version it should show screenshot as below ("Version 1803 (OS Build 
17686.10003"):

[Framers] FM12 on Windows 10

2018-06-12 Thread tom . beiswenger

My trusty Windows 7 Enterprise ThinkPad is being retired by our IT group.
In its place, I'm getting a brand spanking new Dell Windows 10 laptop.
Whoopee!

I've seen lots of horror stories lately about Windows 10 not treating
various versions of FM kindly, including the pesky loss of the ability to
Save as PDF if you have Acrobat (which I do, the DC version).

Before I let them pry the ThinkPad from my grubby little hands, is there
anything I need to know about making the transition with FM12 to the Win10
world? IT will handle porting over all of the software on my ThinkPad. I'm
not worried about Win10, so much. I have it on my home computer and I like
it. I'm more worried about what will happen with FM12, and I know that
I'll get no help from Adobe Customer Support on this if things do go
badly.

Re: [Framers] Adobe "support?"

2018-06-07 Thread tom . beiswenger

I did the survey and did my best to register my displeasure with Adobe 
technical support. Complete the survey, closed it, and a day later I get 
another invitation to take the survey. In fact, I've now been invited to 
take the survey almost daily. Perhaps they didn't the dismal ratings I 
gave them for tech support that they are giving me the opportunity for a 
do-over?

If I didn't rely on, and like, FrameMaker, Photoshop, and Acrobat so much, 
I'd be gone from Adobe in a nanosecond.

My biggest complaint -- and boy do I wish there was a script that could 
fix this, but know there never will be: improve Adobe technical support: 
takes forever to get through, often difficult to understand, and too often 
don't know FrameMaker as well as I would expect that they should.

Hi Framers,

 

Occasionally I like to query the FrameMaker community to find out about 
some
of their FrameMaker bottlenecks. What are the things that slow you down,
make your work tedious, and frustrate you about FrameMaker? Some of your
complaints and suggestions have lead to useful solutions in the past. 
Thank
you very much.

Stefan,

No, we don't use the dwg files; however, if I need a CAD file, I open it 
in AutoCAD and export it as a wmf file, which actually renders quite well 
in FM and imports easily into graphics programs.

Hi Framers,

a quick poll:

Are you using AutoCAD DWG files in your FrameMaker documents? I'm not 
talking about DXF files, but AutoCAD native AutoCAD DWG files. Or are you 
all using DXF files or PDF to reference drawings coming from AutoCAD?

It would be great, if a lot of you would reply with a quick "Yes, we're 
actively using DWG files in our documents" or "No, we don't use DWG files, 
but DXF/PDF/"


I'm looking forward to a lot of replies J

[Framers] Numbering in an outline with numbers and small letters

2017-06-28 Thread tom . beiswenger

This one has me stumped, and I have to believe that there is a pretty
simple solution that I'm overlooking.

I have a figure legend that has both numbered and lettered entries. Level
1 items are numerals and Level 2 items are small letters. This works
fine, as long as the level 2 items are the last items in the ordered list.
However, if the level 2 items happen to appear in the middle somewhere,
such as 1, 2, followed by a, b, and c, and then back to level 1 at 3, the
ordering doesn't pick back at 3. Instead, I get 6, as in 1, 2, a, b, c
(under 2), and 6.

What do I need to do to have that 3rd level 1 item number continue from
the last level 1 tag?

For reference, here is what I have for tag coding.

FigureLegend covers all level 1 numbers, as well as all that follow: F:<
>< ><n+>.\t

FigureLegend_alpha covers the first level 2 item, indented slightly under
the level 1 item: F:< >< ><a+1>.\sn\t

FIgurelegend_alpa+ covers all level 2 items that follow the item tagged
with the FigureLegend_alpha tag: F:< >< ><a+1>.\sn\t

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Not Responding on New PC

2016-03-01 Thread tom . beiswenger

I had the same problem a couple of years ago with FM 7 (installed 
originally on computer with XP. Our IT people tried several of these fixes 
but none did more than slightly reduce the crash frequency. When we 
upgraded to FM 12, the problem went away. I was later told that FM 7 
didn't play well with Win 7 and above.

Besides eliminating the crashes, FM 12, I found had many more features 
that I use frequently now and was actually easier to use.

   Just spit-balling, but try these, in order, until you no longer see the
   crash (this will take days to work through, if you want to make a valid
   test at each stage):

   * Ensure that you've installed all updates, in order.

   * If you work off a network share, try working locally and syncing to
   the share regularly (i.e., network dropouts or latency could be causing
   FM to crash).

   * Uninstall all fonts that you do not use (i.e., free up some system
   resources).

   * Configure FM to run in Windows XP Compatibility Mode. (Right-click
   the main EXE, choose Properties, and change setting on Compatibility
   tab; do the same for any/all shortcuts you use to launch FM.)

   * Upgrade to FM8 (which I use regularly on Win 7 with no issues
   whatsoever).

   You might want to look into running some kind of system resources
   monitor while you test these fix attempts, to perhaps 'catch' the
   failure in the act (e.g., memory or CPU running out of control).

   Wish I could tell you more... but diagnosing a system failure by email
   is pretty challenging, in this day and age. :)

   From: Kevin Ryan <[1]kevin.r...@systemsandsoftware.net>
   Date: Tue, March 01, 2016 9:29 am
   After using my older version of FrameMaker on Windows 7 without issues
   on a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop for several years, my company just
   replaced my laptop with a new Latitude E6540, also having Windows 7.
   I've recently begun using the program on the new PC for the first time
   since initial setup of my fonts, Mif2go, and Character/Paragraph tools.
   FrameMaker seems to work normally except that 2-3 times a day I can
   pretty much rely on a "FrameMaker Not Responding" freeze-up hosing my
   work out of the blue.
   Is anyone aware of any FrameMaker or Windows tweaks that might help me
   overcome this problem?
   Thanks for any advice,
   Kevin Ryan

[Framers] Printing FM12 to PDF -- Page numbering issue

2016-01-18 Thread tom . beiswenger

I recently saw a pdf document that used small Roman numerals for title 
page and front matter (per Chicago Manual of Style) with rest of book in 
normal numbers. When in the PDF, if you were in the front matter, the page 
number in Acrobat/Reader would display the Roman numerals and Numeric when 
you were in the rest of the manual, so that the page number in the Reader 
page navigation toolbar always matched the actual page in the document.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how the writer did that (I don't 
know if the document was created in FM). If I set front matter pages in 
Roman numerals and Chapter pages in Numeric, then print the book to pdf, I 
only see consecutive pages in the toolbar (e.g. ii is shown as 2 in the 
toolbar).

Am I trying to do something that you can't do when printing FM to PDF?

Hi Tom,
 
You might also combine them in a PDF portfolio.

The portfolio supports all the features which you need.
However, I do not know, whether other PDF viewers

The only time that I use Save as PDF is when I am embedding video clips in

And, as always in this regard, I should note that YMMV. J
 
For me, the ?Save As PDF? was the option that worked better for many of 
the older releases of FrameMaker ? just had to play with the pop-up box 
options for each new release that came out.
 
In FM12, both Print to Adobe PDF printer, and Save as PDF have given me 
essentially similar PDF files output (with only one issue ? the bug in the 
CMYK selection). But not identical files ? I haven?t bothered to look to 
see why not.

At the risk of seeming blunt: Don't use Save As PDF.
 
I never have in 20 years (has it EVER worked?), I never do so now (for my 
remaining time in FM), and I probably never will (being on my way out of

If it works one way, why use another? Heck, print to PS is BETTER for 
workflow, if you can avail yourself of watched folders and scripted file 
transfer tasks (cron/Task Manager).

Unable to find answer in FM docs.  How does one configure FM to do Save-As 
PDF with the correct output page sizes (e.g., book with mixed 
letter/tabloid pages) in PDF?  This is not a problem if a book print setup 
is set to tabloid and printed to .ps then distilled; the output reflects 
the original page sizes.  With Save-As, if the page size is set to 
tabloid, all the pages in the output will be tabloid.  I can get only one 
size or the other.

Simplifying a FM12 document

2015-05-27 Thread tom . beiswenger

This could be very tedious, so I'm hoping that you all can help.

Two issues:

1) I have a document that has a paragraph catalog that is far more 
extensive than I need (added to over the years and never cleaned up). I'd 
like to reduce it to a more manageable list.

2) I want to be able create a few special paragraph tags that would be 
used only in the eBook output of the document. For example, I would have 
an eBody for eBook body text that, for the eBook, would replace all 
paragraphs tagged with the Body tag.

Is there a way to do this relatively quickly or is it as tedious as I'm 
afraid that it could be?

Looking for examples of good landscape oriented user manuals

2015-05-12 Thread tom . beiswenger

I am working on a project to document a new machine that has a Windows 8.x 
based user interface. All touch screen, swipe left-right...

Our current manuals have a pretty restrictive template in portrait 
orientation; however, considering that the layout of all of the screens is 
very horizontal, I'm thinking that a manual in landscape format (probably 
spiral bound on the left when printed) might be a good way to present 
instructions that would include lots of graphics and probably embedded 
video (which I've done quite successfully in FM12).

Any ideas where I might find some good examples of user manuals done in 
landscape, as well as supporting templates?

Re: Help Creation Flow and Upgrading from version 7.2 to the latest version

2015-05-12 Thread tom . beiswenger

Hi Caroline,

I recently did this same upgrade (going from FM 7 to FM12). The learning 
curve was not bad. Mostly, it's getting used to a totally new (and way 
better, in my opinion) user interface. I recommend taking the FrameMaker 
10 essentials course that is in Lynda.com. Adobe changed the UI at ver. 
10, so virtually everything that is in that class applies to FM12.

File conversion, so far, has been pretty clean. I've had only minor 
problems, I have a set of templates that I use for various parts of our 
manuals (Title pages, TOC, Preface, Chapter files, and Appendices. Each of 
these templates has a number of paragraph and character formats that are 
unique to them. Once I was up to speed on FM12 (about a week, I think), I 
converted the FM7 templates to FM12 (start by opening the files in FM12 
and allowing FM12 to make them FM12 docs). Then, I went through my 
paragraph and character format catalogs and modified the tags, as 
necessary.

From this point on, when I open a manual that was created in FM7, I first 
open the book file, then open each doc in the book file, save it (as 
FM12), then close it. Then I open my templates and import  the formats 
(usually just paragraph and character) as appropriate. I then save the 
book (as FM12) and I'm ready to work! I have some manuals that are 600+ 
pages and the whole process for them took maybe an hour or less.

Good luck!

Hi,


At the moment we are using FrameMaker 7.2 and ePublisher Pro version 9.2 
to  create PDF files, and a collections of help files which are mostly 
html,  with 2 or 3 .chm files

The applications mostly run on Internet Explorer (and the .chm files are

I would like to upgrade our applications as they do not really run on my 
current operating system and because I want to also produce more modern 
output.


I need to make PDF, ePub, Responsive html and .chm.

What do you all recommend?
Is FrameMaker 12 enough to use stand alone?

Do I need ePublisher Pro or RoboHelp?

How would I go about importing my Frame 7.2 files into Frame 12.
Does it support them or would I need to save as MIF and then open the MIF 
files.
I have quite a lot of user guides.

 To what extent will FrameMaker let me change the design?

What is the learning curve from 7.2 to 12?

thanks

You can now create all those from FM12 directly; however, the learning 
curve will be a bit of a shock - the UI changed completely starting in 
FM9. I think at 7.2 you're over the Unicode barrier already so fonts may 
or may not be an issue. Some finer control over the publishing 
(generating) of help outputs can be done using the Tech Comm Suite (which 
includes RH, FM, Acrobat Pro  Captivate), but may not be necessary in 
your case. Personally, I'd download a trial copy of TCS5 and try it out on 
a non-production machine with copies of your FM7.2 content  play around 
with it for the 30 days of the trial.

Looking for an easier way to convert FM12 files to MIF12

2015-03-06 Thread tom . beiswenger

I know there must be an easier way to do this. We have a translation 
agency that doesn't want to spring for FM12 upgrades to be compatible with 
the FM12 docs that we create. For what we pay them every year... (but 
that's another story). Instead, they want us to convert everything to MIF 
(MIF12 seems to work for them).

This isn't a really big deal, but it would seem like there must be an 
easier way to save the FM12 files as MIF12 files without having to open 
each file and save it individually.

Suggestions, please.

An em dash in Frame is ctrl+q Shift+q
An en dash is ctrl+q Shift+p

The FrameMaker 12 User Guide has a table of all the keystrokes for 
inserting special characters on page 664.

I upgraded from FM7 to 12 in the fall. When the program was installed, we 
verified that the PDF Creation add-on was not selected. The computer also 
has Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, which we reverted to when we discovered that 
Acrobat 11 keeps telling me that I need to install the required version 
of Flash Player, even though I already have the up-to-date Flash Player 
already on this computer. 

In a nutshell, here is what is happening. 

-- With the above configuration, I import (by reference) an MP4 clip into 
the FM document and Save as PDF. 

-- When I open the pdf, the pictograph for the video is not interactive. 

-- Today, I tried to start over with a spare notebook. Before I loaded 
anything, I verified that all Adobe programs were uninstalled (the 
notebook include Adobe Air, Adobe Help, Acrobat 9, and FM 12). I then ran 
Cache Cleaner (Piriform), both the cache cleaner and the registry fix, 
repeatedly until no issues were found. 

-- I then restarted the notebook and installed programs, in the following 
order: 

- FM12, with PDF creation add on unchecked. Restarted notebook 
after install. 

- Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (same version that is running on my work 
computer), typical install. Restarted the notebook. 

-- Opened FM 12 and created a document using a stock template (UserGuide, 
Chapter.fm). Filled 2 pages with text, then, at a new paragraph, imported 
an older mp4 how-to file that I had on my hard drive. I allowed FM to Fit 
in Selected Rectangle. 

-- Saved the document as untitled, then clicked on Save as PDF. 

-- Opened the PDF. The stock filmstrip icon was interactive and worked! 

-- Opened the FM doc again, deleted the video clip that worked and 
inserted one that had sound. Saved as PDF. Opened the pdf, icon was 
interactive, but when clicked only sound played; no picture. 

-- Closed FM, opened FM doc. Deleted the video clip frame, then inserted 
the one that worked (as above). Saved the file, then Saved as pdf. Opened 
the pdf and this time, the icon was not interactive. 

-- I repeated this procedure, this time inserting the video clip with 
sound that would play only sound and no video in pdf. This time, the icon 
was not interactive. So in both cases I went from video working in some 
form to nothing working. 

This seems totally insane. Any ideas? I'm completely baffled by this.

RE: FM10 - Changing licensed machines

2015-01-12 Thread tom . beiswenger

One more thing. You should be aware that with the latest version of Adobe 
Reader (v 11), users will not be able to activate any multimedia content 
in your pdf docs (if present). Adobe has removed Flash Player from Reader, 
which requires users to have the full versions of Adobe Flash Player and 
the Flash plug-in (even if the MM files are not SWF or FLV).

I spent months trying to figure out why videos would not play. Thanks to 
Frammer Shlomo Perets, the problem was solved when these programs are 
loaded. You can find them at:

You should be able to download the FM10 installer from the Adobe Licensing 
site; but be sure to deactivate FM on your old machine before installing 
on the new machine. With separate copies of FM and Acrobat, you should 
tweak the FM install to skip the add-on PDF Creator (that?s the headless 
one that ships with FM), then load the full Acrobat.

Subject: FM10 - Changing licensed machines
 
Hi all,
 
Apologies for the asking before trying approach, but I need this to be 
as seamless as possible as I'm a (paranoid about Adobe) sole writer with 
major deadlines.
 
I have inherited the following:
Win 7 (64-bit) setup
Upgraded FM10 installation (upgraded via Adobe website, from FM7 CD 
installation)
Adobe Acrobat 11 installed from Adobe Cloud
?I have a new Win 7 (64-bit) machine? that I need to re-install my setup 
onto.
 
For licencing issues, I will be un-installing everything from my old 
machine before installing, but wanted to check if there is a recommended 
way of installing onto the new box. Past experience has taught me - FM 
first, then Adobe Acrobat, but that was with TCS.
 
Would you recommend I use the same procedure as was originally done - that 
is, FM 7, FM 10 upgrade, Acrobat?? Or will Adobe allow me to download FM10 
from the Cloud even though it was just an upgrade that was purchased?? 
Trawling through the Adobe site has left me with more questions than 
answers!
 
Thanks,
Sam.

Hi Tom,
I do not know any way to change the underlining parameters. 
I am not sure, but I guess this may not even be accessible via scripting 
as there are no plugins available for this purpose.
How about using the new background color feature or the para box 
feature instead of underlining? This may look well with a 10% black e.g.
Or you could use a frame below pgf, but the resulting line would always 
have a fixed length (like with footnotes).

Problem with embedded video continues unresolved

2015-01-05 Thread tom . beiswenger

I upgraded from FM7 to 12 in the fall. When the program was installed, we 
verified that the PDF Creation add-on was not selected. The computer also 
has Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, which we reverted to when we discovered that 
Acrobat 11 keeps telling me that I need to install the required version 
of Flash Player, even though I already have the up-to-date Flash Player 
already on this computer.

In a nutshell, here is what is happening.

-- With the above configuration, I import (by reference) an MP4 clip into 
the FM document and Save as PDF.

-- When I open the pdf, the pictograph for the video is not interactive.

-- Today, I tried to start over with a spare notebook. Before I loaded 
anything, I verified that all Adobe programs were uninstalled (the 
notebook include Adobe Air, Adobe Help, Acrobat 9, and FM 12). I then ran 
Cache Cleaner (Piriform), both the cache cleaner and the registry fix, 
repeatedly until no issues were found.

-- I then restarted the notebook and installed programs, in the following 
order:

- FM12, with PDF creation add on unchecked. Restarted notebook 
after install.

- Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (same version that is running on my work 
computer), typical install. Restarted the notebook.

-- Opened FM 12 and created a document using a stock template (UserGuide, 
Chapter.fm). Filled 2 pages with text, then, at a new paragraph, imported 
an older mp4 how-to file that I had on my hard drive. I allowed FM to Fit 
in Selected Rectangle.

-- Saved the document as untitled, then clicked on Save as PDF.

-- Opened the PDF. The stock filmstrip icon was interactive and worked!

-- Opened the FM doc again, deleted the video clip that worked and 
inserted one that had sound. Saved as PDF. Opened the pdf, icon was 
interactive, but when clicked only sound played; no picture.

-- Closed FM, opened FM doc. Deleted the video clip frame, then inserted 
the one that worked (as above). Saved the file, then Saved as pdf. Opened 
the pdf and this time, the icon was not interactive.

-- I repeated this procedure, this time inserting the video clip with 
sound that would play only sound and no video in pdf. This time, the icon 
was not interactive. So in both cases I went from video working in some 
form to nothing working.

This seems totally insane. Any ideas? I'm completely baffled by this.

Re: Setup has detected . . .

2015-01-02 Thread tom . beiswenger

Ken, I had a similar problem, but with FM12. The solution was to make sure you 
uninstall Acrobat 9 and restart. The when you load FM make sure not to enable 
pdf printing. Load acrobat next.

 recommendation of a friend who's en electrical engineer and services control 
 systems at various industrial plants across the southeastern U.S. His house 
 is probably wired better than any computer store. And he has helped out at 
 various times in the past, so I trust his opinion.
 
 The C-drive partition of my hard drive is for my programs and the D-drive 
 partition is for my data folders and files.
 
 Before doing the upgrade, I backed up (copied) everything from both the C and 
 D drives onto my external hard drive.
 
 I then deactivated and uninstalled FrameMaker 10, then uninstalled Acrobat 9; 
 I could find nothing about deactivating it before uninstalling it.
 
 Now, after the upgrade, I reinstalled FrameMaker 10 (using the 30-day trial 
 button during these tests) and it runs fine.
 
 But Acrobat 9 Pro will not install. Instead, right after the opening 
 (splash?) screen, a popup appears with the message, Setup has detected 
 that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now 
 terminate and the OK button.
 
 I noted that when I open an existing pdf file, it displays in HTML but 
 exactly as a pdf file.
 
 So I once more uninstalled FrameMaker 10 and even did a system restart, but 
 with no luck. The same popup appears when I try to install Acrobat 9 and I 
 don't know where to go from here. Is there a registry listing or something 
 that I should edit? And if so, where and how?
 
 I understand that if all else fails, I'm looking at doing a total Windows 7 
 RE-install.
 
 Cripe. What a way to start the new year.

RE: Problem with playing video clips in FM 12 document viewed in Adobe Reader 11

I converted from FM7 to FM12, which is a huge leap; however, there is an 
excellent course on Lynda.com. The course is on FM10 (Essential Training) 
that covers the new user interface, as well as most of the things that you 
would need to know. As I understand, there aren't a lot of differences

Hey Jeff,
 
Are there also FM12 forums? Would you happen to have any links to pass 
along?
 
I?m a FM user from back in the days of FM5 or earlier, and the company I?m 
at for a new contract gig just purchased FM12. Plus the FM files I?m 
updating/revising were done in FM9. Encountering a lot of quirks these 
past two weeks.
 
Would appreciate any resources you could pass along.

I?d be inclined to print to PDF as this exposes the PDF creation settings 
? maybe you?ve got something turned on/not turned on that?s impacting the 
playback of your video. I don?t have any videos in my FM content, so I 
can?t really help you on that point. Have you had a look in the Acrobat 
forums?

OK. I presume, then, that the save to PDF actually triggers FM to open 
Acrobat and print the document using the Acrobat Distiller that is part of 
Acrobat, not FM. If this is correct, then things should have been rendered 
correctly. The computer we have all of this on also does not have a 
separate version of Adobe Reader. 

However, the video clips still do not play. In fact, the icons 
representing the videos that are referenced in the FM document aren't even 
active. I've also tried copying the videos into the FM document when I 
import them. The same thing happens: the icons representing the videos are 
flat graphics, mouse click does nothing.

Nope, that?s the correct order ? you should have an intact copy of Acrobat 
Pro working with your FM

Jeff, I really appreciate your help and patience. 

Now, I'm confused. On a separate, clean computer, we loaded (in this 
order), Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (full version) and FM12 (and unchecked 
Adobe PDF creation). Should we have loaded FM12 first, then Acrobat? Or 
did we do something else wrong?

Not if you?ve got the full Acrobat installed.

Thanks, Fred.

We are going to test this on another computer. Load Acrobat Pro Extended 
(we're at ver. 9), then custom load FM12, making sure that the distiller 
is not loaded. We'll see if that solves the problem.

More to the point, once you have installed the headless PDF distiller that 
comes with FrameMaker, trying to uninstall it is likely to clobber any 
installation of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro because the uninstall 
script would be unaware of the existence of those tools and the fact that 
they depend on some of the same components that the FrameMaker 
installaller put on your system. It may be that if you try to uninstall 
the headless tool, you'll wind up having to reinstall Acrobat. This is why 
it is so important to opt out of the part of the FM installation that 
installs the headless distiller. 

It might be the case that the FrameMaker installer has been made more 
intelligent in recent versions of Frame so that it actually checks for an 
existing Acrobat installation (I'm still back on FM9 for several reasons 
si I don't know about newer installations...), but I wouldn't count on it.

The standalone instance of FM has been known to not be very observant of 
the existence of the full Acrobat Pro version already installed ? so if 
you don?t turn that part off, the installer clobbers your full version 
with the ?headless? one. 
 
Regarding round-tripping review PDFs ? make sure that you are all patched 
up in FM ? I think there were some issues with the first release of FM12.

Thanks, Jeff. Can you tell me how it can ditch the pdf plug-in from FM12? 

Once that's done, if I understand correctly, I would then print to Adobe 
PDF making sure that it is a tagged pdf. Reviewers then would make their 
edits and comments in the pdf, which I then import into the FM12 document. 
However, when I just tried this, all of the edits/comments came in 
misplaced. What would cause edits and comments to be misplaced?

Certain versions of Windows include the ability to run separate 
installations of different operating systems ? see 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine 
  
The Review feature is a function of Acrobat ? ditching the headless 
version that ships with standalone FM will require the full version to be 
installed to be able to use it.

OK, I'm a little confused here. 

First, I'm not sure what you mean by using a virtual machine. 

Second, one of the attractive features of FM12 is the save as review PDF 
feature. Is is possible to unload the PDF plug-in and still keep this 
feature?

Problem with playing video clips in FM 12 document viewed in Adobe Reader 11

2014-11-14 Thread tom . beiswenger

I have inserted several short video clips into a small manual created with 
FrameMaker 12 (all clips are mp4 format). Book file is saved as a PDF. 
When I open the PDF in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 11 and click on the icon 
for any of the videos, I see only a black box. When I open the same PDF in 
Reader 10, the clips all play just fine. Any ideas? This document needs to 
be distributed widely and won't work if it can't be viewed in the current 
version of Reader.
