Re: XML Cross-reference Problem
Karen, I assume you are working with structured FrameMaker documents? As I understand your question, you want to produce XML that has both the cross-reference text and the attributes that identify the link for each cross-reference. FrameMaker does not write the cross-reference text to XML, because it is a result of formatting and is subject to change as the document is edited. If your cross-reference formats don't contain information such as page numbers which are specific to FrameMaker formatting, you can use XSLT to recreate the cross-reference text. Given your page 147 example, though, you do want FrameMaker-specific information. A custom FDK client can generate the text you want. --Lynne At 05:54 AM 12/1/2005, Karen West wrote: I produce documentation using Framemaker 7.0 and we are now attempting to get all of our documentation online in a help system, using a tool written in-house with our own software (a 4GL called Cyberscreen).

Hi, Karen: Look into the Migrating from Unstructured to Structured FrameMaker link at http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/indepth.html Thanks everyone, it looks like an upgrade and a lot of effort on my part is in order to convert my existing documents to structured Frame.

Survey
Hello, My name is Guadalupe and I am working in a project for my University in Brussels. The topic of this research is gathering information about the help files in Framemaker format and the problems creating a template for them in Webworks. I know how to use both softwares but I believe it is quite difficult to create a template. I would be very grateful if you could send me some information abou it. Do you know how to create a template from scratch in Webworks? If yes, could you please let me know about the main problems you find? I think this is the start point of my research and once I get a list of problems creating templates with Webworks, I can start askin question more specifics. Please find attached my survey for this project. If you could answer my ques! tion, that would be very helpful. Thanks for your help in advance.

FM > PDF bloat
I have a Frame file that contains both imports of PDFs of Illustrator graphics and Illustrator files. One of these graphics in particular causes tremendous bloat. That AI (Illustrator) file weighs in at 1.9 MB. The PDF of the same file is a svelte 101 KB. If I import either the Illustrator file or the PDF'd Illustrator file and Save As PDF (standard job option at a measly 600 dpi or even at 1200 dpi) the file balloons out to 11 MB. If I produce a postscript file (from Frame) of the one page containing the graphic, the results are the same. The postscript file is 1.3 MB, which in turn distills into a 12 MB PDF. Bizarre. Any ideas on what to do? Vital statistics: Frame 7.0p579, WinXP Pro SP2, TimeSavers 3.6, Nav Asst. 2.3.2, Forms Asst 1.7.

Can I use same files on both Mac and Windows platforms?

Just to put things into perspective, Mac OS 9, the heart of the Classic environment, supports file and folder names of up to 32 characters (or 16 double-byte characters). So unless you use unfeasibly long filenames, this will more than likely be a non-issue. A cross-platform minor annoyance that you may encounter is that EPS graphics produced on the Mac appear as gray boxes on your PC. This is because Mac EPS files are typically saved with a PICT data preview, which is not supported by Windows. EPS files saved with a TIFF data preview appears OK on either platform. Paul

XML Cross-reference Problem
Hi, I produce documentation using Framemaker 7.0 and we are now attempting to get all of our documentation online in a help system, using a tool written in-house with our own software (a 4GL called Cyberscreen). My part in this is to save the individual chapters of each book as xml, producing a .xml and .css for each chapter, plus make sure all the images are saved as gifs etc. The problem we are having is with cross-references. They usually appear in the Frame document as 'see heading on page nn' or 'see chapter x on page nn'. In the help system we want them to appear as text only hyperlinks to the relevant section of the help. The Framemaker xml file simply has an pointing to a location in the document. There are hundreds of these throughout the manuals, and for most of them there is no "implied" text. For example: Manage the help facility using the HM utility. See page 147 Does anyone have any suggestions how we can get proper links into the xml documents? TIA Karen Technical Writer Cyberscience Corp UK http://www.cyberscience.com

It's so clever it must be true. Those people at Adobe and their dastardly evil scheming minds. Next thing you know, they'll announce that they are splitting the product in two parts and selling one to Arbortext for structure and the other to Microsoft as a replacement for Word. Crafty. Mike, you are a genius to see through this shallow attempt at making a product viable. We all know (me especially) that Adobe has been planning to end this product since the moment they bought it. At release 5. In the mid 90's. They must just be taking their time, waiting until we don't suspect and then they will pounce. I'll bet the official announcement comes out in early, early April. :) To see how crafty they are, check out the home page. http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/ Bernard -Original Message- From: framers-bounces+bernard=publishingsmarter.com at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+bernard=publishingsmarter@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Mike Feimster Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 8:34 AM To: 'Framers List' Subject: This Weeks Sign that FrameMaker is Dead I just received a message that Adobe FrameMaker is now a sponsor of Techwr-l.

XML Cross-reference Problem
If you are creating XML from 'unstructured' Frame then you are going to run into this and many other issues. To simply create XML for the sake of XML is likely a poor approach to take. Save As gives you output, but the output is restricted by what FrameMaker defaults to. If you have structured files you can exercise a great deal of control over the output. If you have FM 7.2 then you can also pre/post process the XML files that are generated. Can you expand on how you build the XML? Is my guess that you 'save as' from unstructured Frame correct? If not and you are using structured Frame you will need an application file and you will also need to set up Read/Write rules. If you (or anyone else on the list) are interested, send me an email (but don't send it to the entire list) and I can provide a PDF file that walks you through building a very simple, but fully functional, set of files to convert content to and from XML. There is a simple sample (cool, only one vowel difference) that I use which can get someone working with this pretty quickly. This is not a replacement for what you have and shouldn't be seen as a complete solution, but at least it introduces the concept of building structured files, working with XML, developing an EDD, setting up an application file and more. It's a good starting point. The notes are still rough, but they are based on the hands on seminar I did at the FrameMaker Chautauqua this year and I'll likely deliver it in a couple of other places over the next year or so.

XML Cross-reference Problem
Karen, It looks like the first A tag () is a destination anchor. That is why there is no text associated with it. The second A tag (page 147 ) appears to be a hyperlink. The text you click is the phrase "page 147". I aggree with Bernard that XML from regular FrameMaker has limited usefullness. If you generate XML from structured Frame, you have many more options.

I'm not sure who exactly "Adobe FrameMaker" is? I thought Adobe Systems was the company and FrameMaker the product. Could "Adobe FrameMaker" be a new organization with plans to take FrameMaker onto more platforms? Let's hope so. I'm glad to see "Adobe FrameMaker" only took Silver sponsorship. I'd hate to think that any more cash was being spent on advertising, especially when net profits were only $144.9 million for the previous quarter, up 39% on the year. Gosh! Discontinuing Mac FrameMaker because Mac users didn't buy a product that Adobe never made (i.e., FrameMaker for Mac OS X) really has paid dividends. Paul

Fonts not embedding in PDF 1.6
Thanks Fred & Mike, The problem was that the printer metrics used by the OKI color printer used to print direct from Frame are *very* different from the Adobe PDF/Distiller metrics. Once I loaded up SetPrint, Frame selected only the Adobe PDF/Distiller metrics for onscreen display. What I still don't understand is why I haven't come across this before in 14 very intensive Frame years :) But I'll leave that for another day. Thanks again fellas. jjj -- John Pitt, technical writer Sydney
