Structured Framemaker

2014-07-15 Thread Frasure, Rebecca - APHIS
Windows 7, Framemaker 11 I have no admin privileges on my computer. How can I make edits to the structapps file? I know there is a workaround, but I don't remember what it was. Thanks very much for anyone's help. Rebecca Frasure Editorial Assistant USDA-APHIS-PPQ-RPM-ISMU 92 Thomas Johnson

Hi Rebecca You could save the edited structapps.fm file in a temporary folder, for example C:\temp or on your desktop. Then, you can copy that file to the FrameMaker installation folder, for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure Cheers -- Yves Barbion

Hi Robert What does the _m2g_log.txt file say? Normally, you should get a .ditamap file and one or more .dita or .xml files. Cheers -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list

Hi Chris... After applying the conversion table, you'll need to import the structure application template and EDD. That's what controls the formatting. Until you do that the formatting will likely be a bit wonky. Even if you're not converting to DITA, you may find these sample files useful

FrameMaker to HTML

Hi! I work for a small startup that delivers documentation to software developers. I’m investigating how to continue our strategy of publishing to HTML so that we can “merge” our reference documentation (such as Javadoc) with our developer guides, samples, and so forth. Our legacy is

Or WebWorks Publisher. Consider, how many hours to create your non-RoboHelp or non-WWP solution? Then, how many hours needed each project to maintain your custom solution. And, what is the cost per hour of that time. Versus, buying software that automates that output for you? I assume you

Hi Rebecca, you have to tell FrameMaker to work with a structapps.fm in a location different than the program folder. The necessary command is in the maker.ini -- which itself is also in the FM folder, unfortunately. But you can overwrite this general maker.ini with commands in your own

To evaluate what's cheap, you need to look at total cost of ownership, not just sticker price. Expensive professional authoring tools can be a good investment if they make you more efficient. I found ePublisher Pro a lot more flexible and easy to use than RoboHelp. However, if your goal is

How to pull a variable's value from a doc using ExtendScript

Hey there! I'm a technical writing student just getting my feet wet in a work placement. One of the things I've been doing is trying to improve the workflow here and cut down on repetitive tasks. To that end I've created an ExtendScript which grabs the most recent version of each of our 18

You can merge FrameMaker content and javadoc content by taking javadoc output into FrameMaker via MIF. A couple of jobs back, about 15 years ago, we did exactly that, by having a developer write an add-in (doclet?) that caused javadoc to output MIF instead of HTML. We then incorporated that

MIF Doclet used to be a free utility. I used it to go javadoc MIF FrameMaker PDF, automated the whole thing. I think it has not been updated since Oracle assimilated of Sun and is not compatible with JDKs after 1.4. Were you able to include javadoc in your FrameMaker docs in such a way that

Hi Adam... You'll need to get the variable definition value from a document in the book, not the book itself, so you'll need to set up some process to iterate through the book components and get an appropriate document (perhaps the first non-generated component?). Once you get the document

Yes, it was based on MIF Doclet, but had to be modified to suit our needs. I remember that there was some manual formatting that had to be done after conversion, but it was a lot easier than trying to convert the raw HTML output from javadoc into something useful. It was a while ago so the
