[Framers] Structured FrameMaker 11, version 11.0/0/380 – Issue with Avenir Fonts

[George, Brenda]

This is a follow-up to a previous post. I have additional information 
concerning this issue and would like some input.

I am working in Structured FrameMaker 11, version 11.0/0/380 in a Windows 10 
environment.

I’m encountering a font issue involving the following Avenir fonts:
AvenirLTStd Medium.otf (Avenir LT Sid 65 Medium)
AvenirLTStd MediumOblique.otf (Avenir LT Sid 65 Medium+Italic)

In the FrameMaker paragraph designer, when I select the Avenir 65 Medium font, 
the only available choice that I had under 'Weight' was 'Bold'. The choice of 
‘SemiBold’ was not available. I was not able to apply the ‘Bold’ and ‘Bold 
Oblique’ versions of the Avenir 65 Medium font.

I downloaded a free version of the following fonts and installed them:
AvenirLTStd Medium.otf
AvenirLTStd MediumOblique.otf

This resolved the font issue. Both the ‘SemiBold’ and the ‘Bold’ weights are 
displaying in the paragraph designer, and I now can apply the SemiBold and Bold 
version of the fonts.

We did not experience any font issues with other Adobe products when we were 
using the original set of Avenir fonts. This font issue appears to have only 
occurred with Adobe FrameMaker 11.

The question is whether this issue was caused by the 2 fonts that were included 
in the original font set:
AvenirLTStd Medium.otf
AvenirLTStd MediumOblique.otf

or whether this issue is correlated with FrameMaker 11, version 11.0/0/380?

Any thoughts concerning this will be appreciated.

Re: [Framers] Table Continuation variable issue in Structured FrameMaker

[Lynne A. Price]

Andy,
   The mapping of elements to system variables was incorrect in early 
versions of FM 2019, see https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FRMAKER-5408. 
This bug has been fixed so updating your copy of FrameMaker should solve 
the problem.

For several years everything has been working as designed. Now, suddenly,
inserting the TableContinuation element causes the Filename (Long) variable
to be inserted within the TableTitle element instead of the Table
Continuation variable.

Hi Andy,

The latest build is 15.0.3.603. If you send me a sample document, I will be
glad to try it here. I am using the 64-bit version.

FrameMaker

Hi Framers,

Hope you can help me out here.

I am using Structured FrameMaker 2019 32-bit version 15.0.0.393 on Windows
10 Enterprise Evaluation edition.

In my EDD, I have a system variable element called TableContinuation defined
as follows:

*Element (System Variable): TableContinuation*


*System variable format rule*


*1.   In all contexts.*


*Use system variable: Table Continuation*


 To be valid, my structure requires the TableContinuation element to be
inserted in the TableTitle element, as shown here:

*Element (Table Title): TableTitle*


*General rule:  ( | ph | Xref)*, TableContinuation*


For several years everything has been working as designed. Now, suddenly,
inserting the TableContinuation element causes the Filename (Long) variable
to be inserted within the TableTitle element instead of the Table
Continuation variable.

I have searched high and low but cannot find what is causing this behavior.
I notice that inserting the DefaultSystemVariable element in my EDD produces
this result:

*Use default system variable: Filename (Long)*


I see no way of changing this setting (although it has always been
configured thus and never been problematic until now).

Does anyone have an idea what is causing this behaviour?

Thanking you for you time,
Andy Lewis

Re: [Framers] extendscript examples for structured FrameMaker

[Scott Prentice]

I've got one set of ExtendScript functions that operate on structured 
content. It's pretty simplistic may not be anything more than what 
you've got already ..


http://blog.leximation.com/2013/03/custom-scripting-in-the-dita-fmx-book-build-process/

Also, I have some samples from a 2011 tcworld conference workshop. I 
can't imagine that there's anything in there that isn't covered in more 
detail in Russ' samples, but you're free to take a look ..


http://leximation.com/downloads/tcworld-2011/

The best way to learn how this works with structured content is to read 
the FDK docs (from any release after 7). The model is basically the 
same, and it'll give you an idea as to how best to proceed.


Cheers,
...scott

I learned Framescript by looking at examples, reading Rick Quatro's

doesn't seem to have the same level of resources and community support.


I don't have any particular projects in mind. Just want to be able to 
figure out basic editing and element manipulation functions.


Thanks.

Structured FrameMaker and Selecting Nested Elements in Context

[quills]

In FM 11 there was a keystroke mouse combination that allowed one to 
select text or an element, and a drop-down menu would appear with the 
context relevant elements for application. This menu would also allow 
one to select a series of elements that would nest in the correct context.


This seems to have disappeared in FM 12.

My question is does this still exist? Or was this time-saving bon mot 
discarded?

Help tips for structured Framemaker?

[Theresa de Valence]

Thanks to all for the pointers to building my own EDD using the manual 
Developing Structured Applications (Structure_Dev_Guide.pdf) from Adobe.


Where can I go and find out more about what the structured 
elements/attributes mean?


I've had no success with Adobe.com or the Framemaker 12 help pdf.

Specifically at the moment, I'm trying to find out how Frame decides 
when and how to apply FirstIndentRelative i.e. relative to what? In 
following the instructions, it seems to me all I did was input a value 
for a Paragraph Indent, but I have not told Frame any rules about WHEN 
to apply this command.


For those who don't have this exercise fresh in their memory ;-) there 
has been an Indent (0.3) added in all contexts to the Section element. 
The Title element has a (-0.3) FirstIndentRelative.


Is there some place where exists a list of elements  attributes which 
discusses what each means?


Thanks,
Theresa

RE: Help tips for structured Framemaker?

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Theresa,

There should be information in either the Structured Application Developers
Guide or the Structured Application Developers Reference. HOWEVER, because
you are first starting out, I would shy away from applying formatting via
the EDD. Instead, just specify the paragraph format you want for each of
your elements. Since you probably already have an unstructured template,
this makes it easier to have the new structured template use the formats you
are familiar with.

Rick

That depends on what DTD or schematic you are using. Since we use DOCBook, I 
found that I got the best explanation of element usage from the ORielly Media 
publication, DocBook-The definitive Guide. 

There are other sources if information out there that are online.

instead of specifying each property individually, just specify paragraph

Re: Structured Framemaker

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

Re: Structured Framemaker

[Heiko Haida]

 

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
maker.ini-file. FrameMaker uses a second file with your personal
settings which is placed here: 

C:Users*Your User-Name*AppDataRoamingAdobeFrameMaker11 

Put in your user name (or login name) and find the folder on your
harddrive. Probably the user section is on drive c: (it could be on any
other accessible drive). 

Now, in this maker.ini there should already be a section [Directories].
If not, copy this section header with the square brackets into the file,
just before another section starts. 

Add the following command:
StructureDir=*Your Directory* 

*Your Directory* can be anywhere on your harddrive where you have the
right to change files. 

First, you also have to put a copy of a structapps.fm file into this
directory, otherwise FM still refers to the default path. 

Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin

Re: Structured FrameMaker failure on startup

[Alan Houser]

Hi Pankaj,

I un-installed and re-installed .NET Framework, and now FrameMaker 11 
and 12 start successfully in structured mode. Thank you for correctly 
diagnosing the problem!


I had not made any (known) changes to my system before the failure. I 
suspect a Microsoft auto-update corrupted my .NET Framework.


Thanks again!

some of the component of .NET 4 is corrupted in your machine.


Can you please confirm this by following below steps :-

1)Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12

2)Open maker.ini

3)Comment the following entry *XML View=plugin,structured,xml 
view,FMXmlView.dll,PL_SwitchToXmlView*


4)Save maker.ini

5)Launch FrameMaker

Thanks,

Pankaj

Hi All,

Windows 7 running on MacOS/Parallels; FM 11 and 12 fully patched.

I'm getting immediate failure of structured Framemaker 11 and 12 on 
startup. (Internal Error ... FrameMaker has detected a serious 
problem and must quit).


The apps start fine in unstructured mode.

I've tried:
- Removing the user-specific ini files 
($HOME/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/FrameMaker)

- Disable all third-party plugins
- Disable LoadStartupScripts setting in maker.ini

This happened suddenly; I don't know what might have triggered it.

Any ideas?

-Alan

Re: Structured FrameMaker failure on startup

[Scott Prentice]

Wow .. Alan .. that's a good one. If this was April 1, I'd think you 
were joking.


I can't imagine what would affect both FM11 and FM12 simultaneously. 
FM10 is OK? Are these part of a Tech Com Suite or standalone programs? 
To me that indicates that the problem lies in some shared resource of 
some kind. I know there is some sharing of resources .. but have no idea 
what they are. I assume you've rebooted the VM?


Maybe Creative Cloud has gone haywire (naw), and attacked some FM resources?

I have a feeling that you'll need to push this to Adobe .. someone on 
the FM dev team might have some ideas.


I hate to say it but you may need to reinstall.

Structured FrameMaker 11 Console Font Error Message Displays when postscripting and creating PDFs

[George, Brenda (CAI)]

In my office we are using Structured FrameMaker 11 in a Windows 7 environment.

A co-worker is encountering an error message when creating postscript files 
from Structured FrameMaker 11 files to send to the printer. The FrameMaker 
console displays the following message:
The Times Font is not available.
It will be replaced by Times New Roman.

This error message does not display when the FrameMaker template is opened, or 
when the xml file that is imported into the FrameMaker template is imported.

I created a MIF file of the FM11 template and neither Times or Times New Roman 
is included in the template. The problem seems to occur when postscripts or 
PDFs are created. I noticed the error message displaying on my computer when I 
created a PDF with registration marks. When I viewed the pdf there is file 
information that appears at the top of the PDf near the registration marks that 
includes the file name, date, and time. This information appears as Times New 
Roman. When the co-worker created a PDf without using registration marks, the 
font error message still displayed.

I added the following line of code to my maker.ini file:
Times, *, *, *=Times New Roman, *, *, *
and this appears to have eliminated the font error message from displaying.

I'd like to determine where this Times font or the reference to times exists so 
that I can eliminate it altogether. Times does not appear to be in the 
FrameMaker templates, the EDD, or the read/write Rules.

Is there a systems file that FM11 launches when creating postscripts and PDFs 
that might contain code that references Times instead of Times New Roman?
Any help with resolving this will be appreciated.

Structured FrameMaker 11 Windows 7 Font Issues

[George, Brenda (CAI)]

In my office we are upgrading from Structured FrameMaker 8 in a Windows XP 
environment to Structured FrameMaker 11 in a Windows 7 environment. I am 
currently performance testing the tasks that I need to perform. Part of the 
tasks involve importing XML feeds into Structured FrameMaker 11 using an 
automated process. After the XML has been imported, it is fully formatted in 
FrameMaker. I am noticing that most of the xml imports are throwing a font 
issue message. Refer to the attachment image named "font_issue_message" for an 
example of this message. Please note that I during this testing period, we 
upgraded two font families that are used:
Imago Book
Bembo

These were upgraded to:
Imago BQ
Bembo STD

This upgrade involved reinstalling the fonts on the test computer. This is when 
I started to notice these font related error messages.

I updated the FrameMaker templates and the EDD with the new fonts. The attached 
image named "font_issue_message" displays an font issue message that I am 
receiving. The font Bembo is the old font that has been replaced by Bembo STD. 
I'm also noticing Times is displaying in the error message. When the new fonts 
were installed this appears to have been replaced with Times New Roman.

I'm also encountering a FrameMaker console message with one set of xml feeds 
that are imported into a specific template. Please refer to the attached text 
file named "FrameMaker_Console_xml_importing_error_message". This is occurring 
because there are some xml tags that need to be unwrapped via the Read/Write 
Rules before being imported into the FrameMaker template. I think that this is 
why this error message is occurring. I was able to fix this in other FrameMaker 
templates by removing the unwrapping command in the Read/Write Rules. In order 
to maintain the structure for this template I need to maintain this unwrapping 
feature in this template. When I validate the  imported FrameMaker file using 
the FrameMaker validation tool, these FrameMaker files are valid and are 
formatted correctly. The problem is when I create pdfs, the font Imago BQ Bold 
is not embedding in the pdf. It is being substituted with Imago BQ BoldItalic. 
I have attached a screen capture named "Imago BQ Bold not embedding"  of the 
Adobe Acrobat Pro Document Properties/Fonts box that displays the embedded 
fonts for the problem pdfs. This font embedding issue is not occurring with the 
other FrameMaker files that use other templates.

I ran a test in which I eliminated the xml code that was causing the FrameMaker 
console error message. When I imported the xml feed into the FrameMaker 11 
template, the imported xml feed did not throw an error message. I generated a 
pdf for this FrameMaker file and the pdf is still substituting Imago BQ Bold 
with Imago BQ BoldItalic and is not embedding Imago BQ Bold font into the pdf, 
so I do not think that there is a correlation between the FrameMaker console 
error message that I am getting and the issue concerning the PDF font 
substitution issue.

The version of Adobe Acrobat that I am using is Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Any help that you can provide to me will be appreciated.

Thanks.

FW: Structured FrameMaker 11 Windows 7 Font Issues

[George, Brenda (CAI)]

I have additional information concerning the pdf issue with Imago BQ Bold not 
embedding in the PDF and being substituted with Imago BQ BoldItalic. After I 
generate the pdf, there is a Frame console message displaying that indicates:
Two or more font files with the same name 'UniversLTStd Regular Light Condensed 
(C:\windows\Fonts\UniversLTStd-LightCn.otf) are installed. Only the first font 
file will be used"

I have attached a screen capture of the message.

Subject: FW: Structured FrameMaker 11 Windows 7 Font Issues

I have an update concerning the font issue message that I am receiving when I 
am importing xml feeds into FM11. I opened the Read/Write file and received a 
message that the fonts need updated. The fonts that were being applied to the 
text in the Read/Write files were old fonts that needed to be updated. I 
updated these fonts, saved and then exited frameMaker, then reopened it. I then 
began reimporting the xml feeds. I am not noticing any font issue messages 
anymore, so I appear to have resolved the issue.

I am still having issues with the Imago BQ Bold font not embedding in the PDF 
and being substituted with Imago BQ BoldItalic font.

Structured FrameMaker Developer's Guide for FM 11?

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Does anyone know if there's an updated version of the Structured FrameMaker 
Developer's Guide or reference guide available somewhere that goes beyond FM9? 
The FrameMaker 11 help mentions:  For more information, see the online manual, 
Developing Structured Applications with Adobe FrameMaker on the Adobe 
website,www.adobe.com/go/lr_FrameMaker_support_en. But that only shows the home 
page for help.

There may be not that many changes, but it doesn't feel very professional to 
point my client to the FM9 manuals.

Any other resources available?

Thanks,


Vriendelijke groet / Kind regards,
 
Wim Hooghwinkel

As far as I know .. that's the latest.

It would be great if Adobe had all of the documentation in the same

According to the FM 11 Help, "For more information, see the /Structured 
FrameMaker Developer's Guide/, located in the Documents folder."

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WSD7FBA378-86FB-49ad-82EA-CCCFF5CC9524.html

Mind you, the FM 10 Help says the same thing, and there ain't no such 
Guide in /my/ Documents folder or anywhere else on my hard drives...

Structured FrameMaker Developer's Guide for FM 11?

[Scott Prentice]

As far as I know .. that's the latest.

It would be great if Adobe had all of the documentation in the same 
place so you could really know, but it's spread out over a number of 
locations on their website.  :o

Structured FrameMaker Developer's Guide for FM 11?

[Robert Lauriston]

What Structured FrameMaker documentation Adobe has created is
scattered in various places, but there are also gaping holes.

The FM11 help says "see the online manual, Developing Structured
Applications with Adobe FrameMaker 9," so I think that's an indication
that they have not updated it.

RE: Structured FrameMaker 11 Error Console

[George, Brenda (CAI)]

I have attached a screen capture of the top one of the XML files that I import. 
When you mention the content model specified at the top of the file are you 
referring to the DocType? There is a large set of Doctypes that I need to add 
to the FrameMaker 11 structured applications file. I tried adding one of these 
and then importing the xml file that corresponds to it. I am still getting the 
error messages in the console and if I format, save, and then reopen the 
FrameMaker 11 file that I imported, I am losing the formatting, so the problem 
still exists.

If you open the XML file in a text editor, what's the content model specified 
at the top of the XML file? Alternately, you can open the XML in Fm8 and use 
the Set Structured Application File command to see what structapp needs to be 
added to the Fm11 structapps file.

That application needs to be set up in Fm11, and you need to ensure that it is 
valid. There may be minor tweaks to the structapp needed for use in Fm11.

Hi Brenda,

Either your XML doesn't conform to your internally automated process, or you 
don't have a working Structured Application for your XML model.

As Rick said, the line numbers referring to the XML file will give an 
indication of what's gone awry. At that point, you need to either modify the 
XML to fit the StructApp, or modify the StructApp to fit the XML.

Hi Brenda,

Either your XML doesn't conform to your internally automated process, or you 
don't have a working Structured Application for your XML model.

As Rick said, the line numbers referring to the XML file will give an 
indication of what's gone awry. At that point, you need to either modify the 
XML to fit the StructApp, or modify the StructApp to fit the XML.

Structured FrameMaker 11 Error Console

[Matt Sullivan]

If you open the XML file in a text editor, what's the content model specified 
at the top of the XML file? Alternately, you can open the XML in Fm8 and use 
the Set Structured Application File command to see what structapp needs to be 
added to the Fm11 structapps file.

That application needs to be set up in Fm11, and you need to ensure that it is 
valid. There may be minor tweaks to the structapp needed for use in Fm11.

Structured FrameMaker 11 Error Console

Hi Brenda,



The line numbers in the error log refer to the lines in the incoming XML

Subject: Structured FrameMaker 11 Error Console



I am performing testing in a Windows 7 environment with Structured
FrameMaker 11.



I am using an internally automated process that imports an xml feed into a
FrameMaker template and produces a formatted FrameMaker document.  The
FrameMaker 11 error console window that is displaying contains a long list
of errors.  This is my first time working with FrameMaker 11 and this error
console window. I have attached a screen capture of the error console with
the line numbering feature activated in the FrameMaker document.



I'm noticing that the error console window indicates the line number where
an error is occurring. I'm assuming that these line numbers correspond with
the line numbers that can be made visible in the FrameMaker document by
choosing the line numbering feature from the FrameMaker menu bar. Is this
correct?

Structured FrameMaker 11 Error Console

[Robert Lauriston]

The error messages regard a file named PPM_MM_GOVT_SHEET.fm.CD7. Is
that file XML, MIF, or FrameMaker binary (.fm)?

Structured FrameMaker consultant

[Kevin Farwell]

Hello,

I'm looking for someone to provide occasional help with structured 
FrameMaker projects. The work is spotty, but when a project comes in, 
it must be executed quickly. This is localization work, which 
explains the spottiness of the work and the attention it demands.


The broad details:

Living in the the Denver, CO area would be nice, but not necessary.

Language skills would be helpful, but not necessary.

The ability to stay cool in the face of unusual task requirements is necessary.

This is mostly a consulting role, but every once in a while 
formatting is required.


Training staff members or clients might be required.

That's about it. Please respond off list to get further details.

Kevin

Structured FrameMaker 8: Table Design Issues

[George, Brenda (CAI)]

I am working in Structured FrameMaker 8 with FrameMaker templates that embeds 
into a table a 2 pt vertical line that separates 2 columns of data when an xml 
file is imported into the template. These templates were created by another 
person, and I am trying to embed this vertical line in another template and 
can't figure out how to do it.

I noticed that the following xml markup - rule=yes - needs to be included in 
order for the vertical line to appear in the table. The markup looks like this:
columnhead rule=yes colspan=2

If I remove the rule=yes from the markup, the line does not appear in the 
FrameMaker file that is built from the imported xml file.

What do I need to do so that this vertical line appears in the table flowed 
into the template that I have created?

MstrPg-Use question using RefPg-Table in Structured FrameMaker - 7.2

[Richard Doll]

Framers,

Dell - 490 WorkStation ,
Mem-4G (3.2 useable),
Dual Monitors,
Dual 80G hard Drives w/one 1T Western Digital (for backup)
DSL for data communications (sure beats USPS, FedEx 'n UPS)
Win OpSys
XP Pro - Serv Pk 3 Fully patched
FrameMaker
7.2 - Fully Patched

My tables have a Table "columns" attribute that (with a Reference-Page 
table) will control a table-specified MasterPage based on column quantity.

My tables have column-quantities from 3-6 and a 2nd group from 10-14.
The 3-6 col. group needs to be on 2-col pages and the 10-14 group on a 1-col 
(full) page
I do have 4-different Masters . . . named . . . 2cRT, 2cLft, 1cRt and 1cLft 
which do quite well when applied manually, a one or a few pages at a time.
The Section pg count varies from 30pp - 250pp with 0-2 images on full-width 
pages and 1-6 images on 2-col pages.
The Section usually begins in full width (mode) and will alternate 1-col to 
2-col three to twelve times per Section.

You can see . . . they can get quite busy and  . . . what I want is . . . 
for the Table-Columns attribute to control pagination MasterPgs upon the 
input of the SGML-data file.

Two questions . .  .
1. Is this RefPg "Element-Attribute" Table>MasterPg a real, working, 
solution?
2. Where can I find written instruct's  that offers a "great" 
instructional view of How it works and How to make it work?
3. In the "columns" attribute value is the column-count(TEXTnumber) . . 
. In the RefPg Table - in the attribute value column . . . Can I enter <8 
and cause the 2-col. Master to be used and  . . . enter >8 to cause the 
full/p-1-col Master to be used???
4. or do I need to spec each col. quantity separately???

Thanks for reading this and double Thanks for answering!

best to all,

Scaling images in Structured FrameMaker

[George, Brenda (CAI)]

I need to modify a Structured FrameMaker template that displays the photos and 
professional information for a list of managers. The image for the first 
manager who appears under the subhead for each department is automatically 
scaling up 150% when the xml file is imported into the FrameMaker template. The 
remaining manager's images are importing at 100%.

I need to scale this first manager's image down on import to 100% so that this 
first manager's photo is the same size as the other managers that appear in 
that department.

The template is pulling the manager's photo (a .tif file) from a shared server. 
I checked the dimensions for the image on the server, and it is the same size 
as the other manager images.

I have checked the xsl file, the EDD, and the FrameMaker Rules file, and can't 
locate the code that I need to modify in order to fix this.

Is there a setting in the FrameMaker template that I need to modify?  How do I 
adjust the scaling for these images so that they import to the correct size?

RE: Scaling images in Structured FrameMaker

[Steve Pawlowskis]

Not sure if this is useful but since you haven't gotten any other replies...

Do both images have the same resolution (dpi)?

I import images by reference into Frame in a document that is created from a 
.mif file generated by a database. I still haven't figured out all aspects of 
how Frame handles scaling but if I specify a fixed image size and import an 
image with the same dimension but a different resolution (dpi) then the scaling 
in Frame will be two different values.

The template is pulling the manager's photo (a .tif file) from a shared server. 
I checked the dimensions for the image on the server, and it is the same size 
as the other manager images.

I have checked the xsl file, the EDD, and the FrameMaker Rules file, and can't 
locate the code that I need to modify in order to fix this.

Is there a setting in the FrameMaker template that I need to modify?  How do I 
adjust the scaling for these images so that they import to the correct size?

ANN: Structured FrameMaker training week at Front Runner - Toronto, Canada

[Veronica Kutt]

Good day, 

 

It's been 14 years, and Front Runner Training continues to provide technical 
writers, documentation specialists, and instructional designers the skills to 
work efficiently - saving both the writers and their companies time and money. 

 

How does Front Runner Training do this? 

 

Our instructors are industry specialists in desktop publishing, XML/DITA 
development, graphic design, technical writing, and eLearning. They work with 
the software and have 'in the trenches' expertise. They understand where your 
challenges lie and are able to work with you to help address those issues that 
you face on a day to day basis.  

 

We're proud of our instructors' expertise and are confident they will deliver 
training that will help you hit the ground running, when you're back at work.

 

Recently, we received these glowing testimonials, from our clients, about two 
of our FrameMaker Trainers, Tim and Arnis:

 

Tim is an excellent facilitator who made the world of structured FrameMaker 
easy to understand through
his organized and structured class. I now feel a lot more pro‑cient in 
FrameMaker. Thanks Tim!
Ginger Hunter, Structured FrameMaker Authoring Documents, March 2011-04-28

 

Arnis was a very knowledgeable instructor for FrameMaker 9. He was able to 
deliver the material in a manner that was easy for beginners to follow but also 
had tips and insights for those who sought deeper explanations

Re: Structured FrameMaker - RoboHelp/Air?

Thanks Mahesh,

unfortunately, I'm not in a position (time-wise) to try things out at
the moment. I'd like something that works, but I guess I could always
try to find somebody to do the testing for me. :)

best regards,

 Hi,

 We have a publication as structured FrameMaker 9 files that I thought
 I could quite easily publish with TCS 2.0's FrameMaker/Robohelp/Air
 integration. However, in the meantime I've been told  that Robohelp is
 only able to take into account any formatting styles defined in
 FrameMaker but not the actual element contexts. Is that true? Could
 this possibly change with 2.5?

CGM images from structured FrameMaker

[Rick Quatro]

Hello Framers,

When I save content from Structured FrameMaker, I get CGM files from the
images because there are FrameMaker objects in some of the anchored frames.
I have a couple of questions regarding this:

1) Can I tell FrameMaker to use a different file type instead of CGM? If so,
how?

2) When FrameMaker has to create CGM files, it seems to do it for all of the
imported graphics, even those with no callouts, etc. Is this how it is
supposed to work? Is there a way to have imported graphics with no
additional items in the anchored frames pass through without converting them
to CGM?

Thanks in advance.

Re: CGM images from structured FrameMaker

[Fred Wersan]

Hi Rick,

I don't think I have exact answers for your questions, but I'll share my 
experience with CGM exports. I looked into this in the context of experimenting 
with round tripping of files from frame to XML and back. Firstly, the CGM 
images are lousy - far inferior to the original graphics or jpg or png. So 
there was no good way to round trip frame graphics without losing quality. 
However, I found that imported graphics - png or jpg, were referenced in the 
XML, so that if I round tripped and the original source graphics were still in 
their original location, I ended up with decent graphics. My solution for the 
frame graphics that I wanted was to take a screen capture of them and use that 
instead. Not as good as real frame graphics, but way better than the CGM.

RE: CGM images from structured FrameMaker

[Herbert Leusink]

Hi Rick,

You can try to add the following to the read/write rules file of your 
structured application:

element graphic
{   is fm graphic element;
writer anchored frame export to file $(entity).mif as MIF;
}

It will export the graphics that have callouts as MIF. Linked graphics remain 
unchanged, embedded graphics will also be exported as MIF.

Hope this helps...

Subject: CGM images from structured FrameMaker

Hello Framers,

When I save content from Structured FrameMaker, I get CGM files from the
images because there are FrameMaker objects in some of the anchored frames.
I have a couple of questions regarding this:

1) Can I tell FrameMaker to use a different file type instead of CGM? If so,
how?

2) When FrameMaker has to create CGM files, it seems to do it for all of the
imported graphics, even those with no callouts, etc. Is this how it is
supposed to work? Is there a way to have imported graphics with no
additional items in the anchored frames pass through without converting them
to CGM?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Converting HTML to structured FrameMaker

[LW White]

Hi Roger,

The Dita Open Toolkit includes a plugin, h2d, that converts HTML to DITA. As 
you suspect, the cleaner and more pristine the HTML is, the smoother the 
conversion. I have converted HTML authored in both RoboHelp and Flare to DITA 
and it's not a painless process as both products introduce a lot of proprietary 
namespaces and...uh, creative tagging to their HTML. In those cases, I have had 
better luck writing a batch find/replace file tailored to the flavor of HTML I 
am working with. It takes some time up front and the results still need 
cleaning up, but I believe the net is a time savings and it is a process not 
limited to Frame.

Best,
Leigh

Subject: Converting HTML to structured FrameMaker

Hello All
 
We have a legacy Help system, authored in Robohelp, so all the original content 
is HTML. We would like to import the HTML into FrameMaker, preferably 
structured, preferably DITA. There are about 300 pages involved.
 
I'm wondering if one route would be HTML  XHTML, and then some kind of a 
transform to DITA XML. However, I'm not optimistic about consistency of tagging 
in the HTML.
 
Any ideas? Thanks.

Mike and Rick, thank you both for your responses. I just spoke with Rick to 
step through the process and successfully got this to work in my document. Rick

Hi Jasmine,
 
You can do this with a Postscript Code text frame containing a pdfmark 
operator. A Postscript Code text frame is just a regular text frame that has 
the Postscript Code property set from the Object Properties dialog. When that 
checkbox is selected, any text in the frame is treated as if it were postscript 
code. Here is sample code that should get you started:
 

/pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse

[ /Custom_Acrobat_Property_Name (This is the value of the custom property.)

/DOCINFO pdfmark

 Fellow Framers,
 
 
 
 My setup is TCS1 on Windows XP (Frame 8.0, structured, with Adobe 9.0 Pro 
 Extended). I need to set up custom properties in the PDF (Document Properties 
  Custom Tab). I want to create these properties as attributes in the Frame 
 book file so that I can automatically write them to the PDF.
 
 
 
 I know how to set up Frame's File Info dialog, which writes to the PDF 
 Document Properties  Description tab, but I must also have additional 
 metadata on the Document Properties  Custom Tab. 
 
 
 
 Anyone out there doing something like this today? Ideas on how I can get this 
 to work? All ideas and input are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

RE: Setting PDF Custom Properties from Structured FrameMaker

[Michael Pearson]

Rick is absolutely correct (he invariably is about these things) that you can 
use variables inside those postscript code text frames. I second his 
recommendation that you go that route. Makes updating far simpler. If you go 
that direction, though, just remember that importing variables from another 
document may get trickier. If the variable is defined in both docs, the value 
in the document you import from wins out. --mike

Setting PDF Custom Properties from Structured FrameMaker

[Graham, Jasmine S]

Fellow Framers,

 

My setup is TCS1 on Windows XP (Frame 8.0, structured, with Adobe 9.0 Pro 
Extended). I need to set up custom properties in the PDF (Document Properties  
Custom Tab). I want to create these properties as attributes in the Frame book 
file so that I can automatically write them to the PDF.

 

I know how to set up Frame's File Info dialog, which writes to the PDF Document 
Properties  Description tab, but I must also have additional metadata on the 
Document Properties  Custom Tab. 

 

Anyone out there doing something like this today? Ideas on how I can get this 
to work? All ideas and input are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

RE: Setting PDF Custom Properties from Structured FrameMaker

[Michael Pearson]

Hi Jasmine,

 

You can do this with a Postscript Code text frame containing a pdfmark 
operator. A Postscript Code text frame is just a regular text frame that has 
the Postscript Code property set from the Object Properties dialog. When that 
checkbox is selected, any text in the frame is treated as if it were postscript 
code. Here is sample code that should get you started:

 

/pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse
[ /Custom_Acrobat_Property_Name (This is the value of the custom property.)
/DOCINFO pdfmark
 

HTH,

Yes, and with FrameScript, you can automate the process of getting the
correct values from the document's structure and creating the PostScript
text frame. You can have the script run automatically whenever you save the
document or book as PDF.

RE: Training materials for Structured FrameMaker 9

[Fei Min Lorente]

Hi Alison:

Are you an STC member? If so, did you read Sarah O'Keefe's article in
the December 2009 issue of Intercom? It's called XML and Lone Writers:
Can They Go Together? and the description says Even lone writers need
help sometimes, and XML might be an option. O'Keefe presents the value
of XML to small groups and lone writers, and provides a method of
evaluating if it's right for you. It looks like it would be relevant to
you.

If you're not a member, perhaps you can contact Sarah about getting more
information (see http://www.scriptorium.com/about/people/sarah-okeefe),
or I can see what I can do about getting you a copy.

What about taking this one step back? I'm the lone writer in my
organization and any innovations have to be led by me with a damn good

(budget is the main reason I have to over-prove my case).

As I have less than a year's experience with unstructured Frame9, what I
need to start with is some reading on what XML (in whatever form) can do
for my job and the company. What are the pros and cons for smaller
organizations? That kind of thing.

When I took a class at the local Technical Institute a couple of years
ago, the instructor (who manages the documentation team at another
medical device company up the road) made it clear that for her, the
upfront costs and subsequent advantages weren't worth the money for XML,
at least not in her doc team environment. (FYI: given her approach and
personality, I have no doubt her team works to a strict - and complete -
style guide).

So, any suggestions out there about where to start researching? I've
come across a lot things on the web, but much of it is evangelistic and
I'm looking for balance. I've spent 22 years in high tech - long enough
to know that nothing is perfect, nor is innovation always right/cost

RE: Training materials for Structured FrameMaker 9

[Fred Wersan]

If your only reason for considering structured FrameMaker is because you 
want some kind of XML solution, then read up about XML. However, there 
are benefits to using a structured authoring environment that have 
nothing to do with converting to XML. They involve controlling the 
quality and consistency of the documents you product, how you re-use 
content within the FrameMaker environment, and other good stuff. I'm a 
lone writer too and I think it's worth it.

RE: Training materials for Structured FrameMaker 9

[Alison Craig]

I'm just beginning the process of looking at what a (more) structured 
environment could give me rather than XML as a specific solution. However, as 
budget is a big issue and I have Frame 9, Structured Frame seemed a good place 
to start.

I read Sarah O'Keefe's piece XML and Lone Writers this morning and my 
immediate response to it was that XML wouldn't suit the constraints under which 
I work and the current output I am required to produce.

However, I can see us evolving in that direction as Management is starting to 
understand the whole reuse concept through my application of Conditional Text. 
Because Conditional Text is only going to take us so far in constructing the 
documents they are beginning to envision, I may be able to make a good case for 
XML/Structured Frame in order to create all the different things they have 
suddenly decided would be a good idea.

However, as my plate is extremely full for the next 5 months (2 software 
updates planned for 4 hardware platforms, introduction of a 5th hardware 
platform, 2 Service Manuals to update and a 3rd Service Manual to create from 
scratch), nothing will get done in a hurry.
