Text lines disappearing below bottom of main text flow frame

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

I think this is an oldie, but I cannot find the thread(s) that dealt
with it. And it is Monday and everyone is fresh and rested after a
nice weekend. :-)

I have on several accounts in the past few weeks come across one of
the weird behaviours of FrameMaker (not so uncommon in other frame
based applications) that one or two text lines hide between the bottom
of the page frame (overflow) instead of flowing to the next page.

A couple of weeks ago I noted a solid line in the bottom of a page
frame and saw that a line was not flowing over to the next page but
kept hidden, even if I printed the file. Since this has happened on
several occasions, and I just cannot find out how to hunt these down
in any other way than to look at the bottom of every page (and these
will be some 800).

My environment is M$ WinXP, FM 7.2 (structured), and all pages are
two-column setup.

Another and similar unacceptable behaviour is that sometimes a line of
text overflows to the line above a footnote. I found out that was even
harder to deal with.

The way I dealt with the page overflow was to insert one or two hard
breaks, forcing the lines over and then deleting the hard brakes. That
seemed to work for the page overflow, but not for the text lines
overrunning the footnotes.

Any help to do away with these bastards in an orderly manner (other
than to wait for FrameMaker 9.6) will be highly appreciated.

Price: all the virtual pizza you can eat and whatever virtual you
might want to drink! (Even on a Monday!). ;-)

Sorry Steve, I've never seen that one before. I tried looking for any
info on PlanetPDF but they don't have that one documented anywhere
either (not that I could find, anyway). Interesting that there's a
special character in the command code.

RE: Learning FrameMaker 7.0 on Mactel (10.4.10) with Parallels/XP

[Grinnell Larry-ELG001]

I have been using a similar configuration (2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM
Macbook running the latest release of Parallels with XP Pro) with Frame
5.5, 6.0, 7.0, and 7.2 (I installed multiple versions while
troubleshooting some document issues), and aside from glacially opening
realy huge files requiring conversion (some rtf, doc, etc.), it works
quite well and is quite snappy. I'm in the process of doing a 2,000 page
genealogy, including a 300+ page index, that caused Frame to choke.
After two days of trying to import a 30 MB RTF document, On a hunch, I
deleted the TOC and Index sections (markers were embedded in the text
anyway). This solved the problem, and the file opened in somewhere
between 45 minutes and an hour (with the MacBook fan running on
overtime).

I regenerated the index (took maybe 15-20 minutes), and the TOC (within
seconds), and all was well. 

Admittedly, this pushed FrameMaker a lot harder than most would, and
perhaps a dedicated Xeon-based desktop machine with lots of cache,
faster front-side bus, etc., might speed up the importation of such a
large document, but I was quite pleased with how well this did work, and
would have no problem recommending this to anyone looking to use
virtualization software to use their favorite publishing app on their
Mac.

Oh, it took a couple of hours to generate the 65 MB PDF from this
mess...

Cheers!

  A couple ideas for you to kick around:



 First, there is a patch release for Acrobat out, from 8 to 8.1... may

 want to check the status of that.



 Second, are you getting any log files from the distiller process that

 may contain error information.



 Third, check to make sure that the Acrobat distiller is your default
 printer.



 Are you opening all the component chapter files before distiling?



 There have been a couple threads on other lists that mention turning

 On the Create Tagged PDF option seems to improve things

  The book was created using the FM-Dita Book map, with FM-DITA Topic files.

  The book distilled without incident using FM 7.2 files and the Adobe
 Acrobat

  8 Distiller. Now, the book does not distill, and no group of files will

  distill into PDF.

 

  In case the problem had something to do with distilling the book, which
 was

  created and has been successfully maintained for six months in FM 7.2, in
 FM

  8, I created a new book in FM 8 and added the files to it. I have been

  editing the files in FM 8 for two weeks without problems.

 

  In trying different was to skin this cat, I've noticed that I can distill

  all of the 19 files contained in the book individually. This includes the

  generated files (TOC and Index); the Acrobat data (bookmarks,

  cross-references, etc.) also generates into the PDF files successfully.
 But

  each time I try to distill the book or any two or more files together,
 with

  or without the Acrobat Data, Distiller flushes the job.

 

  In the past (FM 6 days), whenever I had this kind of problem, I could
 narrow

  down the offending file by distilling different documents until I found
 the

  snag, and then recreate the corrupted file to eliminate whatever was
 causing

  Acrobat Distiller to choke.

 

  This time nothing I've tried seems to work, and the fact that I can
 distill

  every file individually makes me think that the problem has something to
 do

  with trying to distill multiple documents in one job. When I try ro
 distill

  different sets of documents, all of the log files from Distiller looks

  unlike any other.

 

  I haven't contacted Adobe Tech Support yet, in case there is something I

  should try that I haven't.

 

  I'd be grateful for any suggestions, up to and including reinstalling the

  software (Acrobat or Frame), which I haven't done yet, if it seems like

  something that could help.

 

  Thanks in advance,

We have just uploaded version 1.5 revision 282 to

  A recent thread on August 3 addressed Distiller crashes, 
 mainly with Frame 7.2 p158 and Distiller 8.1. Some issues 
 revolved around .tps files left behind and Save As PDF versus 
 other methods. One post provided this link 
 (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc2f3d0), which 
 indicates that this is apparently a known issue that may be 
 resolved with a future version of Frame (8.0??), and as Arnis 
 Gubins pointed out on that Acrobat forum thread, What's 
 happened with the 8.1 Distiller is that the default mode will 
 no longer allow the postscript file being distilled to access 
 other external files. One needs to configure Distiller to 
 start with the -F switch, which can't be done using Save As 
 PDF (it always calls Distiller without the switch). 
 
   I have just published the beginning to a small 
 whitepaper on the /F parameter issue. Please see 
 http://www.grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/tech_distiller_81_quirks.h
tml for details.
 
 Until upgrading to Acrobat 8.0 this morning, I have been successfully using 
Grafikhuset Publi PDF-a PDF creator that enables me to create color-corrected, 
web-ready and press-ready PDFs in a very automated way. Now I can't. It seems 
that Distiller 8.1 does not allow execution of external files anymore. So what 
do I do? Uninstall Acrobat 8.1 and reinstall Acrobat 8.0? Do I have no other 
recourse but to upgrade to Frame 8.0? Is there a workaround or a patch that I 
can enable if I'm not yet ready to upgrade to Frame 8.0? 

I can confirm that Grafikhuset Publi PDF queues currently cannot 
function with Adobe Distiller 8.1 (for the very same reason -- the new 
Distiller default setting), but is working hard on a fix to this problem. Users 
should downgrade Acrobat or use GPL Ghostscript 8.60 as JobInterpreter in the 
interim.

The new Grafikhuset Publi PDF revision is expected to be ready late in 
August 2007, i.e. within a week or so.

document numbering in a book

[Carol Wade]

I have a book that contains two types of documents - one type to start a
new topic, (I call them new topic docs) and other that contains
information about that topic (I call them detail documents). All
documents that discuss a given topic have the same volume number (and
this is working). However, I want the page number to restart with each
new topic document. So, I have the new topic documents' Numbering
Properties set to First Page# 1, Format Numeric, and the detail
documents' Numbering Properties set to Continue Numbering from Previous
Page in Book. Numbering does restart correctly in the new topic docs,
but numbering in the detail documents is continuous throughout the book
- as if it had not restarted in the new topics doc.

 

Is this as designed? Is there some workaround available?

 

I'm using FrameMaker 7.2 and Acrobat 8.

 

Thanks!

Solved: Trouble with paragraph tags in TOC

[Jon Harvey]

For those who may not have been following, the problem was: When
building a TOC, some headings were not appearing in the body of the TOC
even though they we being generated in the TOC reference pages. Couldn't
figure out why.

I resolved the problem when I realized that the missing TOC content was
being generated from tags that I was using only in the document's master
pages. Apparently, unless a heading tag is used in the body pages of a
document, FM ignores it when generating the TOC. For example, I was
using the Chapter.name tag on the master page named First but not in
body pages that used this master page. Therefore, Chapter.nameTOC never
showed up in the body of the TOC.

If anyone knows how to get styles that appear only on master pages to
appear in the body of the TOC, I would be interested in hearing about
it..Jon

Check to make sure there's only one TOC reference page.  Sometimes a
second one gets created or imported, and you end up going crazy
modifying the one that isn't active.

Re: document numbering in a book

[Art Campbell]

From your description, Carol, no, it isn't as designed... or at least
may not be.
As designed means that you set the numbering of the component files
in the Book, and from your description it sounds as if you're
controlling numbering by setting each component file's local settings.

Assuming each of your documents is a discrete file, in the Book
window, right click the first document in a new topic series.
Right-click, select Numbering, and on the Page tab, set it up to start
at page 1. Set and save. Then select all the subsequent files in the
topic, right-click  numbering  select Continue numbering... Set and
save again.

Update the book, check the numbering, and if it's working, repeat for
your other topic sets.

Cheers,
Art

Re: document numbering in a book

[Stuart Rogers]

Carol Wade wrote:
 I have a book that contains two types of documents - one type to start a
 new topic, (I call them new topic docs) and other that contains
 information about that topic (I call them detail documents). All
 documents that discuss a given topic have the same volume number (and
 this is working). However, I want the page number to restart with each
 new topic document. So, I have the new topic documents' Numbering
 Properties set to First Page# 1, Format Numeric, and the detail
 documents' Numbering Properties set to Continue Numbering from Previous
 Page in Book. Numbering does restart correctly in the new topic docs,
 but numbering in the detail documents is continuous throughout the book
 - as if it had not restarted in the new topics doc.
 
  
 
 Is this as designed? Is there some workaround available?

Carol,

It sounds like you're setting these properties in the individual files,
rather than in the Book Window.  Book settings override file settings.

Select (Ctrl-click) all your detail documents in the book window and
choose Format  Document  Numbering, and set them to continue.  That
should do the trick.

HTH,

Re: Solved: Trouble with paragraph tags in TOC

[Stuart Rogers]

Jon Harvey wrote:
...Apparently, unless a heading tag is used in the body pages of a
 document, FM ignores it when generating the TOC. For example, I was
 using the Chapter.name tag on the master page named First but not in
 body pages that used this master page. Therefore, Chapter.nameTOC never
 showed up in the body of the TOC.
 
 If anyone knows how to get styles that appear only on master pages to
 appear in the body of the TOC, I would be interested in hearing about
 it..Jon

Hi Jon,

If there is a way, it's probably pretty convoluted.  When you think
about it, it only makes sense that FM behaves the way it does.

The purpose of a master page is to serve as a single-page template,
with placeholders for text and variables, and other content like
watermarks that never change.  Although that content is visible on body
pages, you cannot edit it -- it belongs to the master page, not the body
page.  Since a master page does not have a page number of its own, its
content cannot be included in a TOC or other generated file.

In other words, you've been trying to use master pages for a purpose
they weren't intended for.  Set up your master pages with all the
placeholders you need, but put the actual content on the body pages.

Best regards,

Frame to PDF: display Document Title in title bar? - Follow-up Question

[Valerie Lipow]

I have used Klaus's code successfully to amend the templates for individual
files contained in a Framemaker book. After generating the file into PDF,
the code shows the DocTitle I entered in the File Info section in
FrameMaker.

If I use the File Info/Title feature in the Book file, the DocTitle displays
in the Acrobat Title Bar, without using any PDFMark code. Indeed, I don't
know where I would put it!

I am glad I understand PostScript better by using this approach. Thanks,
Klaus! I also learned one nice reason to use the File Info option in the
Frame File menu, with a PDF product as the output.

However, I wonder if William could have gotten his desired outcome without
entering a PDFMark statement into a Frame document at all. Wouldn't he have
gotten what he needed by using the File Info feature in Framemaker alone,
and then distilling a PDF file from it, as I discovered when I used this
option on the book.book file?

My question now is, is there a way to use the PDFMark code I added to each
file template, where the DocTitle parameter contains the book name (User
Guide):Chapter name (Getting Started), in a sequential display in the
Acrobat Title Bar, once I generate the book?

Or, to display this Book name:Chapter name information in the Acrobat Title
Bar, must I distill each Framemaker file separately (whether I use the File
Info option by itself or along with the PDFMark statement Klaus showed us),
and then, using Adobe Acrobat, Insert each PDF file in order into one
Master PDF file (e.g., Frontmatter.pdf) to create one PDF file of the
entire Frame Book?

Thanks in advance,

Can't save a file in FM 7.2

[Nina Rogers]

Hi everyone,

 

My coworker has a book saved out on a network. I'm working in the same
version of Frame and keep getting this message when I try to save my
work: 

The document was saved to a temporary file, but FM can't rename it to
have the correct name. The newer version has an odd suffix. 

The document is not read-only and we don't have network locking enabled.
We are both in Version 7.2. (Actually Version 7.2p158)

 

Anyone have any idea what's going on, and how to fix things?

 

Thanks!

Help with footnote numbers

[Tina Ricks]

I'm looking for help with footnote reference numbers. The footnote reference
is the superscript number that appears in the main text. The footnote body
is the text that appears at the bottom of the page.

 

I've got the footnote body set to 10 points (Format  Document  Footnote
Properties). Unfortunately, this means (I think) that the footnote reference
(in the main text) is also 10 point superscript. I'd like to make just the
reference number smaller, but I can't find a setting for that separate from
the footnote text. If I try to highlight just the reference number to apply
a character style to it, Frame selects the footnote body also. and character
styles don't seem to have any effect.

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

Tina

Text lines disappearing below bottom of main text flow frame

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

I think this is an oldie, but I cannot find the thread(s) that dealt
with it. And it is Monday and everyone is fresh and rested after a
nice weekend. :-)

I have on several accounts in the past few weeks come across one of
the weird behaviours of FrameMaker (not so uncommon in other frame
based applications) that one or two text lines hide between the bottom
of the page frame (overflow) instead of flowing to the next page.

A couple of weeks ago I noted a solid line in the bottom of a page
frame and saw that a line was not flowing over to the next page but
kept hidden, even if I printed the file. Since this has happened on
several occasions, and I just cannot find out how to hunt these down
in any other way than to look at the bottom of every page (and these
will be some 800).

My environment is M$ WinXP, FM 7.2 (structured), and all pages are
two-column setup.

Another and similar unacceptable behaviour is that sometimes a line of
text overflows to the line above a footnote. I found out that was even
harder to deal with.

The way I dealt with the page overflow was to insert one or two hard
breaks, forcing the lines over and then deleting the hard brakes. That
seemed to work for the page overflow, but not for the text lines
overrunning the footnotes.

Any help to do away with these bastards in an orderly manner (other
than to wait for FrameMaker 9.6) will be highly appreciated.

Price: all the virtual pizza you can eat and whatever virtual you
might want to drink! (Even on a Monday!). ;-)

Sorry Steve, I've never seen that one before. I tried looking for any

either (not that I could find, anyway). Interesting that there's a
special character in the command code.

Learning FrameMaker 7.0 on Mactel (10.4.10) with Parallels/XP

[Grinnell Larry-ELG001]

I have been using a similar configuration (2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM
Macbook running the latest release of Parallels with XP Pro) with Frame
5.5, 6.0, 7.0, and 7.2 (I installed multiple versions while
troubleshooting some document issues), and aside from glacially opening
realy huge files requiring conversion (some rtf, doc, etc.), it works
quite well and is quite snappy. I'm in the process of doing a 2,000 page
genealogy, including a 300+ page index, that caused Frame to choke.
After two days of trying to import a 30 MB RTF document, On a hunch, I
deleted the TOC and Index sections (markers were embedded in the text
anyway). This solved the problem, and the file opened in somewhere
between 45 minutes and an hour (with the MacBook fan running on
overtime).

I regenerated the index (took maybe 15-20 minutes), and the TOC (within
seconds), and all was well. 

Admittedly, this pushed FrameMaker a lot harder than most would, and
perhaps a dedicated Xeon-based desktop machine with lots of cache,
faster front-side bus, etc., might speed up the importation of such a
large document, but I was quite pleased with how well this did work, and
would have no problem recommending this to anyone looking to use
virtualization software to use their favorite publishing app on their
Mac.

Oh, it took a couple of hours to generate the 65 MB PDF from this
mess...

Cheers!

Larry Grinnell

Frame 7.2, Distiller 8.1, and Publi PDF

[Jacob Schäffer]

We have just uploaded version 1.5 revision 282 to 
http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/download.htm. This version should support 
all Adobe Distiller versions since 5.05 -- incl. version 8.1 (and hopefully 
also future Distiller revisions).

< Until upgrading to Acrobat 8.0 this morning, I have been successfully using 
Grafikhuset Publi PDF-a PDF creator that enables me to create color-corrected, 
web-ready and press-ready PDFs in a very automated way. Now I can't. It seems 
that Distiller 8.1 does not allow execution of external files anymore. So what 
do I do? Uninstall Acrobat 8.1 and reinstall Acrobat 8.0? Do I have no other 
recourse but to upgrade to Frame 8.0? Is there a workaround or a patch that I 
can enable if I'm not yet ready to upgrade to Frame 8.0? >

I can confirm that Grafikhuset Publi PDF queues currently cannot 
function with Adobe Distiller 8.1 (for the very same reason -- the new 
Distiller default setting), but is working hard on a fix to this problem. Users 
should downgrade Acrobat or use GPL Ghostscript 8.60 as JobInterpreter in the 
interim.

The new Grafikhuset Publi PDF revision is expected to be ready late in 
August 2007, i.e. within a week or so.

document numbering in a book

[Carol Wade]

I have a book that contains two types of documents - one type to start a
new topic, (I call them "new topic" docs) and other that contains
information about that topic (I call them "detail documents"). All
documents that discuss a given topic have the same volume number (and
this is working). However, I want the page number to restart with each
"new topic" document. So, I have the new topic documents' Numbering
Properties set to "First Page# 1, Format Numeric," and the detail
documents' Numbering Properties set to "Continue Numbering from Previous
Page in Book." Numbering does restart correctly in the new topic docs,
but numbering in the detail documents is continuous throughout the book
- as if it had not restarted in the new topics doc.



Is this "as designed?" Is there some workaround available?



I'm using FrameMaker 7.2 and Acrobat 8.



Thanks!

Solved: Trouble with paragraph tags in TOC

[Jon Harvey]

For those who may not have been following, the problem was: When
building a TOC, some headings were not appearing in the body of the TOC
even though they we being generated in the TOC reference pages. Couldn't
figure out why.

I resolved the problem when I realized that the missing TOC content was
being generated from tags that I was using only in the document's master
pages. Apparently, unless a heading tag is used in the body pages of a
document, FM ignores it when generating the TOC. For example, I was
using the Chapter.name tag on the master page named "First" but not in
body pages that used this master page. Therefore, Chapter.nameTOC never
showed up in the body of the TOC.

If anyone knows how to get styles that appear only on master pages to
appear in the body of the TOC, I would be interested in hearing about
it..Jon

Check to make sure there's only one TOC reference page.  Sometimes a
second one gets created or imported, and you end up going crazy
modifying the one that isn't active.

document numbering in a book

document numbering in a book

[Carol Wade]

Thanks, Stuart & Art. I just needed somebody to slap me on the forehead.
I was trying to bee too clever - using multiple books to manage my
files, but I had not made these settings in the book I use to actually
"print" PDFs.

Carol,

It sounds like you're setting these properties in the individual files,
rather than in the Book Window.  Book settings override file settings.

Select (Ctrl-click) all your detail documents in the book window and
choose Format > Document > Numbering, and set them to continue.  That
should do the trick.

HTH,

Hi Jon,

If there is a way, it's probably pretty convoluted.  When you think
about it, it only makes sense that FM behaves the way it does.

The purpose of a master page is to serve as a single-page template,
with placeholders for text and variables, and other content like
watermarks that never change.  Although that content is visible on body
pages, you cannot edit it -- it belongs to the master page, not the body
page.  Since a master page does not have a page number of its own, its
content cannot be included in a TOC or other generated file.

In other words, you've been trying to use master pages for a purpose
they weren't intended for.  Set up your master pages with all the
placeholders you need, but put the actual content on the body pages.

Best regards,

Frame to PDF: display Document Title in title bar? - Follow-up Question

[Valerie Lipow]

I have used Klaus's code successfully to amend the templates for individual
files contained in a Framemaker book. After generating the file into PDF,
the code shows the DocTitle I entered in the File Info section in
FrameMaker.

If I use the File Info/Title feature in the Book file, the DocTitle displays
in the Acrobat Title Bar, without using any PDFMark code. Indeed, I don't
know where I would put it!

I am glad I understand PostScript better by using this approach. Thanks,
Klaus! I also learned one nice reason to use the File Info option in the
Frame File menu, with a PDF product as the output.

However, I wonder if William could have gotten his desired outcome without
entering a PDFMark statement into a Frame document at all. Wouldn't he have
gotten what he needed by using the "File Info" feature in Framemaker alone,
and then distilling a PDF file from it, as I discovered when I used this
option on the book.book file?

My question now is, is there a way to use the PDFMark code I added to each
file template, where the DocTitle parameter contains the book name (User
Guide):Chapter name (Getting Started), in a sequential display in the
Acrobat Title Bar, once I generate the book?

Or, to display this Book name:Chapter name information in the Acrobat Title
Bar, must I distill each Framemaker file separately (whether I use the File
Info option by itself or along with the PDFMark statement Klaus showed us),
and then, using Adobe Acrobat, Insert each PDF file in order into one
"Master" PDF file (e.g., Frontmatter.pdf) to create one PDF file of the
entire Frame Book?

Thanks in advance,

Can't save a file in FM 7.2

[Nina Rogers]

Hi everyone,



My coworker has a book saved out on a network. I'm working in the same
version of Frame and keep getting this message when I try to save my
work: 

"The document was saved to a temporary file, but FM can't rename it to
have the correct name. The newer version has an odd suffix". 

The document is not read-only and we don't have network locking enabled.
We are both in Version 7.2. (Actually Version 7.2p158)



Anyone have any idea what's going on, and how to fix things?



Thanks!

Help with footnote numbers

[Tina Ricks]

I'm looking for help with footnote reference numbers. The footnote reference
is the superscript number that appears in the main text. The footnote body
is the text that appears at the bottom of the page.



I've got the footnote body set to 10 points (Format > Document > Footnote
Properties). Unfortunately, this means (I think) that the footnote reference
(in the main text) is also 10 point superscript. I'd like to make just the
reference number smaller, but I can't find a setting for that separate from
the footnote text. If I try to highlight just the reference number to apply
a character style to it, Frame selects the footnote body also. and character
styles don't seem to have any effect.



Any ideas? Thanks in advance.



Tina
