RE: Acrobat 8.1 stops FM print

[David Shaked \(Wernick\)]

I had a similar experience. I inadvertently interrupted the Acrobat 8.1
update while it was in progress. I then discovered that I couldn't access
any printer driver - even a PCL driver that is unrelated to Acrobat. My
printers folder appeared to be completely empty. All the printer drivers
were hidden.

I ran Help  Check for Updates again in Acrobat. The update took about half
an hour or more. When the update was complete, it prompted for a reboot.
Printing then worked fine. All the printer drivers were restored to the
printers folder with their original configuration.

Only a warning.

After the install of the 8.1 upgrade of Acrobat Professional, FrameMaker
(7.0 and 7.2) reports that it can't print a PS file and doesn't save as PDF.
I did a uninstall and a new installation (without the upgrade) and now all
is ok.

Re: [framemaker-dita] Frame book printed to PDF - hyperlinks missing

[Alan Houser]

Are you publishing to PDF using FrameMaker or the DITA Open Toolkit? If 
you are publishing in FrameMaker, I would suggest using the fm-xref 
element instead of xref. The fm-xref element is a true FrameMaker 
cross-reference element (providing the ability to use cross-reference 
formats) and will convert to live hyperlinks in FrameMaker-generated 
PDF output.


The xref element is defined as a FrameMaker container element. This 
allows the author to insert the link text (rather inefficient, IMHO, but 
also common in several standard XML content models, including DITA and 
Docbook).


The FrameMaker DITA plug-in automatically converts fm-xref elements to 
xref elements upon saving to XML, so that the XML does conform to the 
DITA standard.


Another gotcha -- FrameMaker will only support cross-reference targets 
that have an id attribute of type ID. Many DITA elements have an 
id attribute of type CDATA.


If you are generating PDF using the DITA Open Toolkit, something else is 
going on.

Re: [framemaker-dita] Frame book printed to PDF - hyperlinks missing

[Valerie Lipow]

Thanks, Alan, that's probably it; I'll change the xrefs to fm-xrefs. All
of the items I want as targets have IDs, so it shouldn't be too time
consuming.

Acrobat 8.1 stops FM print

This is likely related to a problem which started with Acrobat 5:
the FILE: port is sometimes deleted mysteriously as part of 
installing/upgrading Acrobat.

I encountered it myself several times -- with different computers and 
various Acrobat versions.

For the benefit of others who may encounter the same problem when 
installing/upgrading Acrobat:
if the FILE: port has to be recreated, the steps to be taken are listed at 
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331115


[ A new behavior of Distiller 8.1 is that it blocks all file operations by 
default. Users of FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on, which relies on 
Distiller's access to external files, will have to set-up  Distiller 8.1 so 
that it can access files, as described in 
http://www.microtype.com/timesavers.html ]

Structured (DITA) book problems with missing PDF hyperlinks

[Valerie Lipow]

I have been using FrameMaker 7.2 with the DITA Toolkit to create my
Structured documents. When I want to output my book, I opt to print the book
using the Adobe Acrobat (8) print driver. The book generates properly, but
the only active hyperlinks in the PDF are in the Table of Contents. The
hyperlinks created with the  element are not generated; in addition,
the Index links are not created.

I have also requested feedback from the dita-framemaker listserv, so there
is no need to recommend I seek its input.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance,

Val

[framemaker-dita] Frame book printed to PDF - hyperlinks missing

[Alan Houser]

Are you publishing to PDF using FrameMaker or the DITA Open Toolkit? If 
you are publishing in FrameMaker, I would suggest using the  
element instead of . The  element is a true FrameMaker 
cross-reference element (providing the ability to use cross-reference 
formats) and will convert to "live" hyperlinks in FrameMaker-generated 
PDF output.

The  element is defined as a FrameMaker container element. This 
allows the author to insert the link text (rather inefficient, IMHO, but 
also common in several standard XML content models, including DITA and 
Docbook).

The FrameMaker DITA plug-in automatically converts  elements to 
 elements upon saving to XML, so that the XML does conform to the 
DITA standard.

Another "gotcha" -- FrameMaker will only support cross-reference targets 
that have an "id" attribute of type "ID". Many DITA elements have an 
"id" attribute of type "CDATA".

If you are generating PDF using the DITA Open Toolkit, something else is 
going on.

Thanks, Alan, that's probably it; I'll change the s to s. All
of the items I want as targets have IDs, so it shouldn't be too time
consuming.
