MathFullForm - MathML

[John Cornellier]

Hi all,

We are trying to move some equations from FM's MathFullForm to MathML.

I found this student project (in German)
http://www.cavegn.cc/front_content.php?idcat=5

where an FM plugin was built to convert from a structured document at 
the time of doing Save As XML from FM.


Too good to be true ... I can't get it to work. The authors of the work 
have been helpful, but I may be running into a glitch in the Structured 
FM (version 7.1)  side of things.


I'm a bit of a n00b with regard to setting up the structured docs. Can 
anyone else get this to work? Alternatively does anyone have a known 
good validate-able structured FM file with an equation in it?


Thanks in advance
John Cornellier

Create your  first one manually, copy it to clipboard, then do a
search/replace and for replace, select By Pasting.

Adobe Acrobat Professional vs. Standard

[Texan Scriber]

Fellow Framers,
Does any one know the differences between Adobe Acrobat Professional and
Standard?
We are using FrameMaker 7.1 patch 116 and I know we had trouble early on
working with Acrobat Standard and decided to use use Professional, but I can
not remember the reasons right at the top of my head. Any input is
appreciated.

RE: Creating hyperlinks

[Grant Hogarth]

Method 1: Create the hyperlink once manually, copy it, then search 
replace by pasting.
  Note: you will have to do some fiddling to get the character
formatting standardized;
a fix for this it to define a character style (e.g.:
LINK), and apply it 
to the source word before you copy it.  Updating the
style will reset the text.

Method 2: Create the hyperlink once manually, and copy it. 
  Create a new text flow on a reference page, and paste the link
there.
  On the Body page, import the flow (File Import File... 
  Select file, select Reference page flow: flow_name,
select Reformat as plain text)
  Once the file is inserted, copy that text, and then search 
replace by pasting. 

Advantage to #1: simple.
Advantage to #2: changing the link on the reference page will change it
for all instances.

RE: Creating hyperlinks

[Peter Gold]

Great suggestion (Method 2), Grant!

You can take it one step further:

In a new file, create separate named text frames on body pages, one 
for each pasted link. It's not necessary to place the named flows on 
reference pages. This approach collects all the source flows in one 
file. If you keep a single master template file for a document set's 
formats and variables, this is another use for that file.

RE: Advice for Upgrading Windows Computer

[Joe Malin]

I don't know that minimum standards exist anywhere.

My recommendation is not to forget RAM. I have 1Mb of RAM on my work
computer, which I consider insufficient. Anything less than 1GB of RAM
with Windows XP is *insufficient*. Any other speed improvements you
make to your computer are worthless unless you have enough RAM. I
personally think 2GB is the minimum.

Most everything else on a computer you'd buy today will be sufficient. 

You don't need a fancy graphics card; the standard out there even for
laptops is more than sufficient. I currently have a graphics card that
supports 1600x1200 at 32-bit color and 120dpi. Tt produces amazingly
clear graphics but most of its power is wasted. The $400-600 graphics
cards you may see out there (and there are plenty) are for gaming, where
the key need is *speed*. You don't need speed unless you plan to be
playing games on your work computer.

By the way, a graphics card and video card are the same thing.

Go with flat screen. They use less energy, last longer, work better, and
take up less space. Nowadays they're roughly the same price as a tube
monitor.

Hard disk space is ridiculously cheap at this point. I would go with a
100GB Serial ATA drive. Serial ATA is the successor to IDE, and supports
higher transfer speeds. IDE is on its way out. Do get a drive with a
very short seek time (= 8ms) and a large buffer (8-16MB), both of which
improve the apparent speed of your drive.

Don't forget a DVD writer. I use my DVD writer at work to do nightly
backups from Retrospect onto DVD. You may also want to consider having a
second hard drive onto which you make backups. I do that at home, and
then transfer the backup images to DVD. Retrospect is roughly $100 and a
bit complicated but it has features no other backup program can offer.

The standard CPU these days runs at roughly 2Ghz. That's all you really
need. My work computer is an Intel Pentium 4 at 3 Ghz, and trust me we
don't spend lots of money on computers!

Make sure your computer comes with USB 2.0. Get yourself a 1GB USB flash
drive, which are now less than $100. Use it to transfer files. Even CDs
are obsolete with flash drives, and of course floppy drives are way
passe.

I work as a contractor at a government site, and we've been asked to

Windows Office 2003 (XP?), SnagIt, WordPerfect Office 11 (for legacy

these to my machine in the future.

I'm working at home today, and so I don't recall all my the specs on my
computer at work, but I know I'm pathetically low on RAM (384MB--have
been begging for more for 2+ years). Fortunately, I've gotten by with
that because most of our documents have been small. However, I'm
currently converting a huge document (1200+ pages) from WordPerfect to
FrameMaker and adding color photos and graphics, and I know I'm going to
need more computer power.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Advice for Upgrading Windows Computer

[Art Campbell]

I'd go for as fast a processor as fits in the budget, 1M RAM minimum,
2+ recommended (I can't run FM and PS reliably and simultaneously
without it). Also, two hard drives, one for the OS and applications
and the second for data and the PS scratch disk (per Adobe's
recommendation). Most all the video cards on the market will provide
more than enough processing power for anything you'd do; my only
requirement there would be dual monitor support (and, naturally, dual
monitors).

RE: Line width in inported graphics slightly diminishing in FM generated PDFs

[Dosick, Daniel \(GE Indust, Security\)]

Hi,
Just thought I'd point out that the error in 10 pt rounded to 9.96 pt. is 
actually .4%, not 4%. Much smaller...maybe still something to be concerned 
about.

Nit-pickingly yours,

Content-Type: text/plain;   charset=iso-8859-1

Hi,

 We're using Acrobat's preflight feature to check for lines 
 thinner than
 0.2 pts. The thinnest lines in our .eps graphics are exactly 0.2 pts,
 but when we import these graphics in FM and check the PDFs 
 created from
 FM, Acrobat preflight says the graphics uses 0.199600pt lines.
 
 PDFs of these individual graphics, created from Illustrator, do not
 have problems with Acrobat prefight, so it seems to be some 
 sort of FM
 conversion problem.
 
 Why does this happen, and is there any way to prevent this on the FM
 side? If there is no way to fix this, we'd have to tell our 
 illustrator
 to make the lines in the graphics slightly thicker.
 
 This looks a lot like a rounding error problem due to two 
 different applications using different precision math. In 
 floating-point math, computers use a set number of bits to 
 represent the complete range of natural numbers. As a result, 
 some numbers actually cannot be represented precisely: the 
 more bits you use, the closer you get, but there's always a 
 compromise.

When I check the font size in my PDF files there´s also often a
difference. E.g. the font size in FrameMaker is 10 pt, and Acrobat
says 9.96 pt. (Other text in Acrobat has exactly the same font size
as in FrameMaker.) 4 % would be a rather large rounding error.
I don´t know whether these differences in line width and font size
have the same cause.

Best regards

Winfried

That mouse wheel question, AGAIN!

[Rita Muller]

Hi Group,

Just got a new Dell Dimension 5150 at work. Running Win XP with FM 7.0p579,
and using an Wacom Intuos2 Graphics tablet, pen tool, and mouse.

Has anyone out there found a driver that can make the mouse wheel work with
Frame, with the above, or a similar combination of hardware? If so, could
you be so kind and post a link to that driver.

Such an annoying little nusance problem.

Thanks,

Rita

LOF not updating properly

[Gillian Flato]

In my chapters, the LOF reads the $chapnum variable properly so my
figures are properly numbered Figure 1-1...4-6 etc. But when I run my
LOF, the figure number properly updates but the $chapnum does not so
my LOF has Figure 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-1 (which should be 3-1) etc.

RE: LOF not updating properly

Two obvious things to check:

1) Is each chapter in its own file? The $chapnum system
variable only increments on file boundaries.

2) In the book file, have you set the Chapter tab of the
Numbering Properties dialog to Continue numbering from
previous chapter in book?

Re: LOF not updating properly

[Art Campbell]

First thing I'd check is the Reference page of the LOF file, to make
sure that $chapnum is invoked correctly; that there aren't any typos
in the string.
Then, in the book file, look at the Numbering  Chapter settings for
each chapter file
to make sure they're set to increment and not to inherit the previous
file's number.

I'm not sure what the first sentence means (do you have a chapter LOF?).
As for the second, your LOF specifications (on the LOF's reference page)
shouldn't use $chapnum at all. Assuming you have only one figure
caption pgf format, FigCap, the LOF spec would include a FigCapLOF pgf
that might look like this: 

$paranum $paratext ...$pagenum 

The first building block, $paranum, would pick up the figure number
from each FigCap pgf (e.g., Figure 1-1). The second building block,
$paratext, would pick up the text of the FigCap pgf (e.g., Exploded
view of widget). That would be followed by a right tab, defined with a
leader, and then the $pagenum building block to insert the page
number. 

The details might differ for yours -- maybe you have punctuation between
$paranum and $paratext, or no leader -- but the basics should be the
same. You shouldn't be referencing $chapnum at all because the entire
figure number -- the prefix Figure, the chapter number, the dash, and
the number of the figure within the chapter -- all come from pulling in
the paragraph numbers of the FigCap pgfs, using $paranum. 

HTH!

SOLVED: table sort order

[Carol J. Elkins]

Re the table sort order problem wherein Frame sorts alpha-numeric table 
data on specific digits rather than the entire number in the string (e.g., 
M-509, M-5104-, M-512).


Rick Quatro solved this with a slick FrameScript that sorts an 41-page 
table in the blink of an eye.


Thanks everyone for your creative suggestions. I'm always in awe of the 
problem-solving capabilities of this list. If we put the collective talent 
of this list to work on world problems, well

 Has anyone out there found a driver that can make the mouse wheel work with
 Frame, with the above, or a similar combination of hardware? If so, could
 you be so kind and post a link to that driver.

 In my chapters, the LOF reads the $chapnum variable

 2-2, 2-3, 2-1 (which should be 3-1) etc.

I'm not sure what the first sentence means (do you have a chapter LOF?).
As for the second, your LOF specifications (on the LOF's reference page)
shouldn't use $chapnum at all. Assuming you have only one figure
caption pgf format, FigCap, the LOF spec would include a FigCapLOF pgf
that might look like this: 

$paranum $paratext ...$pagenum 

The first building block, $paranum, would pick up the figure number
from each FigCap pgf (e.g., Figure 1-1). The second building block,
$paratext, would pick up the text of the FigCap pgf (e.g., Exploded
view of widget). That would be followed by a right tab, defined with a
leader, and then the $pagenum building block to insert the page
number. 

The details might differ for yours -- maybe you have punctuation between
$paranum and $paratext, or no leader -- but the basics should be the
same. You shouldn't be referencing $chapnum at all because the entire
figure number -- the prefix Figure, the chapter number, the dash, and
the number of the figure within the chapter -- all come from pulling in
the paragraph numbers of the FigCap pgfs, using $paranum. 

HTH!

Re: Adobe Acrobat Professional vs. Standard

[Mike Wickham]

Does any one know the differences between Adobe Acrobat Professional and
Standard?


Here's an even more detailed comparison than the one someone else gave: 
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acro7_matrix.pdf


Professional adds the features needed if your documents are destined for 
press-- including preflighting, viewing color separations, converting to 
CMYK-- and adds form creation, and the ability to use commenting/reviewing 
capabilities with users of Acrobat Reader, and more.

OT: insertPages method for Acrobat 7

[Rick Quatro]

Hello Framers,

I have a question about Acrobat 7.0.7 Professional JavaScript. The following 
code worked fine in Acrobat 6 Pro:


var sPath = C:/DATA/Scripts/BehrSystems/20050429_ImportDrawings/drawings;
this.insertPages({nPage:6,cPath:sPath+/JMA0311.pdf});

In Acrobat 7.0.7 Pro, the code gives me an error:

RaiseError: A file error has occurred.
Global.insertPages:2:Console undefined:Exec
=== A file error has occurred.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Acrobat 7 JavaScript? Thank 
you very much.

Italic and faux-italic in FrameMaker

[Steve Rickaby]

Font: Bitstream Revival 565 BT, FrameMaker 7.0.

On Mac FrameMaker, the italic of this font is a true italic. When the same 
template is used in FrameMaker 7 on PC with the 'same' font (i.e. PC version 
from the same source), the italic is a synthesized italic, which is completely 
different in appearance. Nothing changed in the template.

Does anyone have any idea why this should be? Is it a FrameMaker thing, or is 
it just a defect of the font in question?

I will attack it with TransType and a large hammer, and try to find out what's 
actually inside the PC version.

Line width in imported graphics slightly diminishing in FM generated PDFs

[Yosuke Ichikawa]

Dov,

Thank you for your comments. I wanted to be accurate, and I checked with
our DTP person to tell me exactly what the matter was; in fact, we were
having Acrobat Preflight problems with **.ai** files.

There were NO problems with **.eps** files (yes, they are imported as
eps, and they do not have borders.) I'm very sorry for the mistake in my
initial report.

To put it straight;
- The graphics are .ai files with minimum line width of 0.2 pts. 
- The PDFs of these graphics created by Illustrator do not have problems
when checked by Acrobat Preflight for lines less than 0.2 pts. 
- When these .ai graphics are imported to a FM doc and a PDF is created
by FM, this PDF does have a problem with Acrobat Preflight.
- We also tested the same graphics saved as .eps. Neither the standalone
graphics nor FM docs had problems with Preflight in this case.

Depending on the Acrobat version, that is. We found out that this
problem happens when we use Acrobat Windows versions 6.0.1 to 6.0.4, but
NOT in 6.0.0. I ran the preflight check myself against the same PDF
files, first reinstalling and then updating Acrobat, so I'm sure of this. 

Our DTP person tested it on Macintosh Acrobat 6.0.0 and 6.0.4, and he
got similar results; i.e., no problems in 6.0.0; .ai graphics imported
in FM is reported as an error, but not the others, in 6.0.4.

So using .eps instead of .ai would be a solution, but for reasons I'm
not familiar with, our client has specified using .ai files instead of
.eps for these particular projects, whose final output is HTML converted
via WWP, by the way.

MathFullForm -> MathML

[John Cornellier]

Hi all,

We are trying to move some equations from FM's MathFullForm to MathML.

I found this student project (in German)
http://www.cavegn.cc/front_content.php?idcat=5

where an FM plugin was built to convert from a structured document at 
the time of doing Save As XML from FM.

Too good to be true ... I can't get it to work. The authors of the work 
have been helpful, but I may be running into a glitch in the Structured 
FM (version 7.1)  side of things.

I'm a bit of a n00b with regard to setting up the structured docs. Can 
anyone else get this to work? Alternatively does anyone have a "known 
good" validate-able structured FM file with an equation in it?

Thanks in advance
John Cornellier

Adobe Acrobat Professional vs. Standard

[Texan Scriber]

Fellow Framers,
Does any one know the differences between Adobe Acrobat Professional and
Standard?
We are using FrameMaker 7.1 patch 116 and I know we had trouble early on
working with Acrobat Standard and decided to use use Professional, but I can
not remember the reasons right at the top of my head. Any input is
appreciated.

Displaying heading text in a book

[Doug]

I use Frame 7.0p579 on WinXP.

The index of my book uses a 2-column body text frame labeled A.  The
index heading sports an overhead line, and since we want this to span
the width of the page, we have placed the heading in a separate text
frame, tagged IX.  The problem is that in the book, when I toggle it
to Display Heading Text, the index displays the capital letter A and
not the word Index from the heading.

Both text frames, A and IX, feature the Autoconnect checkbox checked. 
If I clear the checkbox from the A text frame and save the file, the
entry in the book file changes from A to the filename.fm, even though
the rest of the books shows heading text and not filenames.

My question is:  what logic does Frame use to decide which text to
display in the book when the Display Heading Text mode is selected? 
In blank empty test books I've tried, it takes the first text entered
in the A text frame.  I've tried swapping name tags of the two text
frames but this doesn't help.

Displaying heading text in a book

Without delving into the innards of the Index, did you try working
without the separate IX frame, and just setting the para tag that
controls the Index heading to have pagination properties of Across All

AW: Displaying heading text in a book

[Reng, Winfried]

Hi,

I have a similar layout as you: a textframe which spans
the whole page and below a 2-column textframe which holds
the actual index entries. My text frames are both "A".
Probably that?s the reason why your setup does not work.

Best regards

Advice for Upgrading Windows Computer

[Rita Lewis]

I haven't been keeping up with the list lately, so forgive me if this 
topic has been discussed recently. (I know it has been discussed 
periodically in the past, but I assume that standards have changed some 
since then.)

I work as a contractor at a government site, and we've been asked to 
submit a wish list for upgrading our computers. Does anyone have any 
advice on the current minimum standards in DTP for RAM, disk space, 
graphics card, video card, processor, etc.? I have Windows XP and, in 
addition to FrameMaker and various plugins, the major programs I use are 
Windows Office 2003 (XP?), SnagIt, WordPerfect Office 11 (for legacy 
documents), and Acrobat 7. We currently have Photoshop and some other 
graphics programs on a common machine, but I could be adding some of 
these to my machine in the future.

I'm working at home today, and so I don't recall all my the specs on my 
computer at work, but I know I'm pathetically low on RAM (384MB--have 
been begging for more for 2+ years). Fortunately, I've gotten by with 
that because most of our documents have been small. However, I'm 
currently converting a huge document (1200+ pages) from WordPerfect to 
FrameMaker and adding color photos and graphics, and I know I'm going to 
need more computer power.

Any advice would be appreciated.

In addition to replying to the list, I'd appreciate a cc to my 
individual account to expedite receipt of any messages.

Thanks!

Rita

Creating hyperlinks

[Grant Hogarth]

Method 1: Create the hyperlink once manually, copy it, then search &
replace by pasting.
  Note: you will have to do some fiddling to get the character
formatting standardized;
a fix for this it to define a character style (e.g.:
"LINK"), and apply it 
to the source word before you copy it.  Updating the
style will reset the text.

Method 2: Create the hyperlink once manually, and copy it. 
  Create a new text flow on a reference page, and paste the link
there.
  On the Body page, import the flow (File> Import> File... 
  Select file, select Reference page flow: ,
select "Reformat as plain text")
  Once the file is inserted, copy that text, and then search &
replace by pasting. 

Advantage to #1: simple.
Advantage to #2: changing the link on the reference page will change it
for all instances.

Creating hyperlinks

[Peter Gold]

Great suggestion (Method 2), Grant!

You can take it one step further:

In a new file, create separate named text frames on body pages, one 
for each pasted link. It's not necessary to place the named flows on 
reference pages. This approach collects all the source flows in one 
file. If you keep a single master template file for a document set's 
formats and variables, this is another use for that file.

Advice for Upgrading Windows Computer

[Joe Malin]

I don't know that minimum "standards" exist anywhere.

My recommendation is not to forget RAM. I have 1Mb of RAM on my work
computer, which I consider insufficient. Anything less than 1GB of RAM
with Windows XP is *insufficient*. Any other "speed" improvements you
make to your computer are worthless unless you have enough RAM. I
personally think 2GB is the minimum.

Most everything else on a computer you'd buy today will be sufficient. 

You don't need a fancy graphics card; the standard out there even for
laptops is more than sufficient. I currently have a graphics card that
supports 1600x1200 at 32-bit color and 120dpi. Tt produces amazingly
clear graphics but most of its power is wasted. The $400-600 graphics
cards you may see out there (and there are plenty) are for gaming, where
the key need is *speed*. You don't need speed unless you plan to be
playing games on your work computer.

By the way, a graphics card and video card are the same thing.

Go with flat screen. They use less energy, last longer, work better, and
take up less space. Nowadays they're roughly the same price as a "tube"
monitor.

Hard disk space is ridiculously cheap at this point. I would go with a
100GB Serial ATA drive. Serial ATA is the successor to IDE, and supports
higher transfer speeds. IDE is on its way out. Do get a drive with a
very short seek time (<= 8ms) and a large buffer (8-16MB), both of which
improve the "apparent" speed of your drive.

Don't forget a DVD writer. I use my DVD writer at work to do nightly
backups from Retrospect onto DVD. You may also want to consider having a
second hard drive onto which you make backups. I do that at home, and
then transfer the backup images to DVD. Retrospect is roughly $100 and a
bit complicated but it has features no other backup program can offer.

The standard CPU these days runs at roughly 2Ghz. That's all you really
need. My work computer is an Intel Pentium 4 at 3 Ghz, and trust me we
don't spend lots of money on computers!

Make sure your computer comes with USB 2.0. Get yourself a 1GB USB flash
drive, which are now less than $100. Use it to transfer files. Even CDs
are obsolete with flash drives, and of course floppy drives are way
passe.

Subject: Advice for Upgrading Windows Computer

I haven't been keeping up with the list lately, so forgive me if this
topic has been discussed recently. (I know it has been discussed
periodically in the past, but I assume that standards have changed some
since then.)

I work as a contractor at a government site, and we've been asked to
submit a wish list for upgrading our computers. Does anyone have any
advice on the current minimum standards in DTP for RAM, disk space,
graphics card, video card, processor, etc.? I have Windows XP and, in
addition to FrameMaker and various plugins, the major programs I use are
Windows Office 2003 (XP?), SnagIt, WordPerfect Office 11 (for legacy
documents), and Acrobat 7. We currently have Photoshop and some other
graphics programs on a common machine, but I could be adding some of
these to my machine in the future.

I'm working at home today, and so I don't recall all my the specs on my
computer at work, but I know I'm pathetically low on RAM (384MB--have
been begging for more for 2+ years). Fortunately, I've gotten by with
that because most of our documents have been small. However, I'm
currently converting a huge document (1200+ pages) from WordPerfect to
FrameMaker and adding color photos and graphics, and I know I'm going to
need more computer power.

Any advice would be appreciated.

In addition to replying to the list, I'd appreciate a cc to my
individual account to expedite receipt of any messages.

Thanks!

Advice for Upgrading Windows Computer

[Art Campbell]

I'd go for as fast a processor as fits in the budget, 1M RAM minimum,
2+ recommended (I can't run FM and PS reliably and simultaneously
without it). Also, two hard drives, one for the OS and applications
and the second for data and the PS scratch disk (per Adobe's
recommendation). Most all the video cards on the market will provide
more than enough processing power for anything you'd do; my only
requirement there would be dual monitor support (and, naturally, dual
monitors).

Line width in inported graphics slightly diminishing in FM generated PDFs

[Dosick, Daniel (GE Indust, Security)]

Hi,
Just thought I'd point out that the error in 10 pt "rounded" to 9.96 pt. is 
actually .4%, not 4%. Much smaller...maybe still something to be concerned 
about.

When I check the font size in my PDF files there?s also often a
difference. E.g. the font size in FrameMaker is 10 pt, and Acrobat
says 9.96 pt. (Other text in Acrobat has exactly the same font size
as in FrameMaker.) 4 % would be a rather large rounding error.
I don?t know whether these differences in line width and font size
have the same cause.

That mouse wheel question, AGAIN!

[Rita Muller]

Hi Group,

Just got a new Dell Dimension 5150 at work. Running Win XP with FM 7.0p579,
and using an Wacom Intuos2 Graphics tablet, pen tool, and mouse.

Has anyone out there found a driver that can make the mouse wheel work with
Frame, with the above, or a similar combination of hardware? If so, could
you be so kind and post a link to that driver.

Such an annoying little nusance problem.

Thanks,

Rita

LOF not updating properly

[Gillian Flato]

In my chapters, the LOF reads the <$chapnum> variable properly so my
figures are properly numbered Figure 1-1...4-6 etc. But when I run my
LOF, the figure number properly updates but the <$chapnum> does not so
my LOF has Figure 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-1 (which should be 3-1) etc.

Any ideas?


TIA,

LOF not updating properly

[Fred Ridder]

Two obvious things to check:

1) Is each chapter in its own file? The $chapnum system
variable only increments on file boundaries.

2) In the book file, have you set the Chapter tab of the
Numbering Properties dialog to "Continue numbering from
previous chapter in book"?

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel

LOF not updating properly

[Art Campbell]

First thing I'd check is the Reference page of the LOF file, to make
sure that <$chapnum> is invoked correctly; that there aren't any typos
in the string.
Then, in the book file, look at the Numbering > Chapter settings for
each chapter file
to make sure they're set to increment and not to inherit the previous
file's number.

I'm not sure what the first sentence means (do you have a chapter LOF?).
As for the second, your LOF specifications (on the LOF's reference page)
shouldn't use <$chapnum> at all. Assuming you have only one figure
caption pgf format, FigCap, the LOF spec would include a FigCapLOF pgf
that might look like this: 

<$paranum> <$paratext> ...<$pagenum> 

The first building block, <$paranum>, would pick up the figure number
from each FigCap pgf (e.g., "Figure 1-1"). The second building block,
<$paratext>, would pick up the text of the FigCap pgf (e.g., "Exploded
view of widget"). That would be followed by a right tab, defined with a
leader, and then the <$pagenum> building block to insert the page
number. 

The details might differ for yours -- maybe you have punctuation between
<$paranum> and <$paratext>, or no leader -- but the basics should be the
same. You shouldn't be referencing <$chapnum> at all because the entire
figure number -- the prefix "Figure," the chapter number, the dash, and
the number of the figure within the chapter -- all come from pulling in
the paragraph numbers of the FigCap pgfs, using <$paranum>. 

HTH!

Line width in imported graphics slightly diminishing in FMgenerated PDFs

[Dov Isaacs]

FrameMaker does not officially or fully support import
of Adobe Illustrator files directly into FrameMaker
documents.

It only "works" when Illustrator files are saved with
the "create PDF compatible file" option. In that case,
FrameMaker "sees" the .AI file as a .PDF file and 
CONVERTS the PDF portion to .EPS internally. That is
probably where the "problem" is occurring. If you created
a .AI file without that PDF option, the import would fail
as it would if you tried importing a .AI file from 
earlier versions of Illustrator that had formats that
didn't look like a PDF file internally.

I MOST STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST ATTEMPTS TO IMPORT
.AI FILES DIRECTLY INTO FRAMEMAKER. Use .EPS and tell
your customer that this is the recommendation from
Adobe.

SOLVED: table sort order

[Carol J. Elkins]

Re the table sort order problem wherein Frame sorts alpha-numeric table 
data on specific digits rather than the entire number in the string (e.g., 
M-509, M-5104-, M-512).

Rick Quatro solved this with a slick FrameScript that sorts an 41-page 
table in the blink of an eye.

Thanks everyone for your creative suggestions. I'm always in awe of the 
problem-solving capabilities of this list. If we put the collective talent 
of this list to work on world problems, well

That mouse wheel question, AGAIN!

I gave up on drivers when I discovered Freewheel.

It works on a variety of systems, but the Wacom setup may throw it a curve.

But it's worth trying; the price is right.

Low cost vendor needed for aviation CMMs in unstructured FM

[Owen, Clint]

Two years ago our parent company acquired a smaller company that also makes
components for the aerospace industry. Because of prior management decisions
and business practices they have a huge backlog of unwritten component
maintenance manuals for new products, and older manuals that need revision.
The problem gets bigger every day because we are not allowed to hire any
more technical writers and we can barely keep up with current requirements. 

Now we have been directed to investigate outsourcing the backlog to a vender
with ties to a low cost country, such as India. I am not looking for a flame
war about sending jobs overseas; our management thinks that they can get the
work done faster and cheaper this way than by keeping it in-house; We are
not in a position to argue with them.

We are looking for a vendor with experience in writing ATA standard
Component Maintenance Manuals in unstructured FrameMaker. They also need to
be written in Simplified Technical English. We will provide templates,
engineering drawings, parts lists, and existing test procedures for source
data. A typical finished CMM would be 100 to 200 pages including front
matter. This needs to be a turn-key product, with very little hand holding
from us. They also need to be able to create the exploded parts drawings
typically found in an illustrated parts list.

We would appreciate recommendations for any vendors you have worked with
that might have the resources and experience to do this task. There are up
to 150 of these manuals that need to be written or revised, so it will be an
on-going project.

We will be writing an RFP soon, and want to identify as many potential
vendors as we can.

Thanks for your help.

OT: insertPages method for Acrobat 7

[Rick Quatro]

Hello Framers,

I have a question about Acrobat 7.0.7 Professional JavaScript. The following 
code worked fine in Acrobat 6 Pro:

var sPath = "C:/DATA/Scripts/BehrSystems/20050429_ImportDrawings/drawings";
this.insertPages({nPage:6,cPath:sPath+"/JMA0311.pdf"});

In Acrobat 7.0.7 Pro, the code gives me an error:

RaiseError: A file error has occurred.
Global.insertPages:2:Console undefined:Exec
 ===> A file error has occurred.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Acrobat 7 JavaScript? Thank 
you very much.
