Brief demonstration and discussion of graphics video in PDFs and related
aspects: livening up static documentation
The horrendous amount of real estate that these blasted pods take up is just
mind-boggling and it appears to be all or nothing. Either the pod has to be
open all the way or you can iconize the view, neither of which is a
feasible solution. The interface I would like, as antiquated as it might
be
I think the new interface is awesome. Much easier to use. Much faster.
Much more intuitive. I'm not having any of the problems you describe. I
run dual screens. Now, I can have all my pods, lists, etcetera in the
right screen, and have the whole book and doc displayed in my center
screen. I'd
You can take the pods and rip them free from the interface, float and size
them, and then save the settings. There are things that can be done to
improve the interface, but this approach may help.
Basically just set up the interface the way you want it, then go up to the
top right where you see
When you have a file open, on the upper right corner of the screen by the
min/max/close icons, don't you have a pull-down menu? Probably says Default?
If you do, just set up your workspace the way you want it, pull down the
menu and select Save Workspace

Thanks. Your statement:

go and reset it as well. If I figure out the logic behind when and why I'll
let people know.

all goes away
I also agree. Were it not for my dual monitor set-up, I would not have
room for all the caca. The workflow changes are difficult enough to bear
even on 2 displays...Kelly.

Here's an interesting problem for any automap users out there:
* From FrameMaker, manually generate a book and create a PDF. No
problems.
* From an Automap job, automatically create a PDF. One chapter
