You can use cross-references, which is the easiest means. The option for cross references and other forms of hyperlinking are available on the Special menu. FrameMaker's online Help has detailed info on how to use these features. On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 3:58 PM, wrote: > Good afternoon, I am wor

Lea, The bug that I passed along the info on is a result of using SaveAs PDF from FM 9, which is intended to generate clean CMYK. As reported, IF the Frame file contains PDFs already, it doesn't work well. The work-around, until a patch is released to fix it, is to embed another file format such a

Joseph, Hi, seems Visio graphics are the flavour of the month :) Just to summarise what has been said on the list over the last couple of weeks. 1. Visio uses an internal file format and is not a graphics format, as such 2. Visio native files are best not used in FM 3. The Visio files then need

You mean in general or from Frame? What specifically do you want to know? I use pdfLaTeX pretty much daily, from time to time ps2pdf. No issues in using them. pdfLaTeX is run from a text editor and ps2pdf is normally run from a command line. I use them with files generated from metafont, LaTeX, e

2009-01-29 Thread Alan Litchfield
Yeah. I took a double take on what Art said too. So does that mean that Adobe have buggered up the pdf output engine? Or is it that the nested pdfs already contain RGB colour definitions and those are carried through to the final output, in the same way that eps acts as a wrapper for the postscrip

Changing indentation of a graphic within an anchored frame

2009-01-29 Thread Berman, Marta
Is there a shortcut for changing the indentation of a graphic within an anchored frame? Our FM template is being modified to change the indentation of lots of paragraph tags, and we will all have to manually modify the indentation of almost all of our graphics - unless you happen to know of a fr

Changing indentation of a graphic within an anchored frame

2009-01-29 Thread Yves Barbion
Hi Marta I guess the anchoring position of these anchored frames is "Below Current Line"? In that case, I think the only option you have is a Framescript which changes the width of the frame and the "offset from left" setting of the graphic within the frame. An other (and better) option is to put
