RE: Did I miss the FM12.0.4 Update Announcement?

Alison, I've been using Frame 12.0.4 from the day it came out, as it fixed the "Save as CMYK PDF" bug, which was clobbering my workflow. Have still gotten crashes with 12.0.4 but twas ever thus... I just send the crash log to fmer...@adobe.com and keep smiling. David Message: 14 Date: Mon, 23 Feb

Re: User interface view option customization

The view size is saved with each file. If you change the view size it's considered a change to the file, and the Save button becomes active so that you can save the change. Since that's the way FM works, I don't see how there could be any option for a default view (unless

Re: User interface view option customization

Correct. "Set window to page" would only apply to the current tab. But again, you could select all files in book and then select View>Zoom>Set window to page (or Alt+v,z,w). -- Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 On 25-Feb-15 12:48 PM, Steve Rickaby wrote: At 10:14 + 25/2/15, Ste

xrefs to figures within topics not rendering

I'm testing xrefs for DITA 1.2 topics (FM 12). Cross references to topics within the same file or in other files work fine, but when I cross-reference to a figure element () inside a topic, the cross-reference text generates fine in FM but does not show up in any output formats (responsive HTML,

Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

Hi, I could use the advice of some Frame veterans on whether a switch from Frame to Flare might be a delusion-inspired wrong turn for me, or possibly the right way to go. My company's primary documentation output is PDF user/training/reference guides authored on FrameMaker 7. Not the current F

RE: Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

Hi Kevin, If you are using Mif2Go for HTML, you can set it up to output RTF as well. This should satisfy the MS Word requirement and allow you to stay wit FrameMaker. Rick Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-366-4017 r...@frameexpert.com From: framers-boun...@lists.frame

CMYK bug fixed? RE: Did I miss the FM12.0.4 Update Announcement?

We, too, have been using 12.0.4 since release. But, unfortunately, the CMYK still bites us. Adobe is looking at our files to figure out what is up. Falling back to FM 11 for now for the CMYK stuff. Craig > From: david.da...@non.schneider-electric.com > To: framers@lists.frameusers.com > Date: W

Acrobat: Need to delete Shared Review profile

You know how, when you set up a shared review and specify that you want to use your own server to collect comments, it let's you save all your choices to a named profile? I've got a few obsolete ones, but I can't find anyway to delete them. I really need to, as having them is a trifle confusing.

Re: Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

As I recall, Mif2Go should output pretty darn spiffy Word documents, although you may have to fiddle with it a bit to get what you want. Acrobat 10 (I think) and later will save PDFs to Word format, although everything will be in modified Normal (no style-name information is carried through, but t

Re: Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

Have you tried MIF2Go's Word output? It worked great for me. RoboHelp can also convert FrameMaker to Word, but I think MIF2Go is better. You might also try FrameMaker 12 (you could just use one copy as a conversion tool). If your outputs are PDF and Word, I think switching to Flare would cause mo

RE: Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

Kevin: When I absolutely have to provide someone with an RTF or Word version of a Frame manual, I use BCL easyConverter Desktop (Word Version) (http://www.pdfonline.com/easyconverter/). It's $20 and produces better output than the Frame12 to RTF option - although it's definitely not perfect.

I'll second that. Mif2Go produces decent Word output right "out of the box," and you can customize it to a fare-thee-well. BTW, hi everybody. I'm working again, and back on the list. Richard From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of R

Re: Frame vs. Flare for My Needs

I'd second John. Current FM output ain't bad, and if you want better, MIF2Go RTF is really good. I'd stick with FM and upgrade to a non-antique version (speaking with 4 year's Flare experience) because that conversion isn't really what Flare does better. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.c

Thank you to everyone who commented on my question. Looks like I may have been underestimating the Mif2go program I have already! I did a quick, non-scientific "convert to Word" comparison two or three years ago of FrameMaker 11 demo vs. Acrobat "save as Word" vs. Mif2go, and none of them rea
