[Framers] FM2019 and ixgen?

2019-04-11 Thread Harding, Dan
Good morning all, I have an email in to Frank Stearns (creator of ixgen) about this, but in the interim I want to get some other data points: Has anyone been able to get ixgen to work with FrameMaker 2019? When I run the ixgen installer, it does not see the installation of 64-bit FrameMaker,

[Framers] FM 2019: graphics losing DPI and scaling information upon import

2019-05-14 Thread Harding, Dan
Graphic import appears to work differently in FM2019 compared to FM2017. To me it appears to be broken. If I import a TIF file by reference that is NOT one of the default resolution options, let's say a 600dpi TIFF: 1. Under FM 2017 it would read the resolution as 600dpi and the scaling

I agree. There was nothing wrong at all with Stefan's reply. He was trying to explain the reasons for the spam, how it occurred, and what Adobe is planning in order to remedy it. There was no "rapping of knuckles" at all, IMO. This is a symptom of the age we now live in: people are on a hair

2019-08-05 Thread Harding, Dan
Good afternoon, I'm having a brain cramp with respect to PDF generation in FM2019 vs. older versions. It used to be that if I wanted to "Save As" a book to PDF but with each file/chapter in the book being its own PDF that was simple enough to do. Under the new "Publish" model, for the life of

MIF might work as an intermediary format, but otherwise you need to backsave FM2019 documents as FM2017 format documents in order to open them in FM2017. Old applications can't know what differences there are in file formats for future/forthcoming versions. Application formats like PDF and MS

Re: [Framers] What is going on with Adobe Licensing for FrameMaker?

If this is indeed the case (it would be nice to get something definitive from Adobe directly, not just second-hand interpretations that are all over the map), then I think a lot of users will be stand pat on FM2019 for a considerable period of time, at least until it is no longer compatible

Additionally, even if a page has a default master page applied, if it has had the main text flow dimensions altered in any way, e.g., previously dragging it slightly long to allow a cumbersome footnote or other element, that will prevent the page from being autodeleted. Technically, I suppose

Wouldn't Acrobat's built-in "full text index with catalog" function serve this purpose? You can compile a single searchable index of all PDFs in a folder (or group of folders). I've used it to create local search indexes on network shares. -Dan -Original Message- From: Framers On

Perhaps scaling, but not so the mouse pointers and cursors. I am using the 2019 version on Windows 10 and Frame has its own cursors and pointers, ignoring anything you configure at the OS level. It's insanely annoying as the cursor gets lost (for me) in the text, and there's nothing I can do to
