RE: Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML

[bja]

Jeremy is correct.

I  initially sent this query to the list (Jeremy must get a squillion
queries and I thought the list could answer this one) but for some reason it
didn't get posted so after waiting 50 minutes or so I also sent the query
direct to Jeremy (and corrected the ENBEDDED typo:)).

Jeremy has since answered my query and I have since taken the necessary
steps to resolve the issue.

Thanks again Jeremy.

A pity it took 4.5 hours for the posting to hit the list but fortunately
Jeremy was much quicker. :)

Let's see how long it takes for this one to be posted.

Cheers,

Bruce

On Wed, 7 May 2008 07:33:20 +1000, bja [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote,
but the list diddn't post it for some hours.  In between, we answered the
same post, also sent to us, directly:

I have dozens of graphics EMBEDDED in my FrameMaker documents at 
various dpi settings. All print well of course.
 
I convert to Standard HTML using Mif2Go.
 
By default Mif2Go retains the FramaMaker image sizes so many of the 
graphics are unreadable in the finished HTML.
 
To resolve this, I set the following statement in the mif2htm.ini file:
 
[GraphScale]
*=0
 
In the past (using FM7.1), this setting reverted the graphics back to 
their original DPI setting and undid any FM editing as well (such as
rotation).
 
Now, I am using FM8.0 and the above statement does not appear to work 
any more.

It won't for embedded graphics, only for referenced.  The reason is that
with embedded graphics, we have to have Frame use its native graphic export
filters to produce images, and those always resample the graphics to the DPI
specified at the size of the anchored frame.

This should have the same effect as the *=0 statement so I am wondering 
if there is something I am not taking into consideration or if this 
might be another FM8.0 issue.

It's not 8.0, it's always the case for embedded graphics.  Another reason
that's a Real Bad Idea, as if more were needed...  ;-)

As an aside, I cannot test this as I am no longer on site and only have
FM7.1 at home (I do have a copy of the mif2htm.ini file though). I am 
just trying to be of assistance to a previous manager so any help would 
be greatly appreciated.

What you can do is labor-intensive, but you only have to do it once:
change from embedded to referenced.  If you still have the original
graphics, you can re-import them by reference with the embedded one
selected, and the referenced one will replace the embedded.

If you *don't* have the originals, you can export the embedded ones from
Frame with Mif2Go, rename them appropriately, then re-import as above.  See
par. 29.2.3.2, Exporting embedded graphics before converting.

PDF Bookmarks

[Danny G Green]

This is probably really simple, but I need some help making a PDF 
bookmark go to a specific page in another PDF document.  I have tried 
all of the actions available in the Bookmark Properties area and none of 
them  do what I want.  Will I have to write a Javascript to do this?


Thanks

I assume that the question relates to adding a cross-file bookmark in the 
PDF file, in Acrobat. In the bookmark properties, Actions, select the Go 
to a page view action, and click Add. A dialog box titled Create Go to 
View will be displayed. Open the target PDF file at the required location 
(using any method you prefer in Acrobat:  File  Open, Window, activating 
links in the current PDF etc.), then click the Set Link button in the 
Create Go to View dialog box.

The relative path from the current PDF to the target PDF is registered in 
the bookmark action.

Framemaker Class

So my company wants me to look into Framemaker Classes.  I am in

Anyone have any opinions about where I should take classes?

I learn much better in person than over the computer, so I would want
to take a traditional class.

OT: Adobe PS3 drivers

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

We are in the process of updating our PostScript color printer. Only a
few seem to be offering true Adobe PS3 printers, but one of the agents
(with a brand that seems to offer either one of true Adobe PS3 or a
PS3 emulator) says that Adobe no longer provides drivers, only
licenses for third parties to make those, resulting in diminishing
offers of printers with the Adobe PS3 logo.

Can anyone on the list confirm this or explain this? (Dov? Shlomo?)

Thank you,

Bodvar Bjorgvinsson

Framemaker Books

[Deirdre Reagan]

Hi all:

I know this topic was just covered, and I've searched for it in the
archives, but I'd like also to get your opinions.

I've been told that Framemaker:  Classroom in a Book is an excellent
resource for learning FM.  But on Amazon, the reviews are very poor.

Framemaker 7:  The Complete Reference by O'Keefe has good reviews, but
it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

Framemaker 6: Beyond the Basics by Jahred has outstanding reviews but
it also is no longer available.

Any suggestions?

Very good for starting on your own. Helpful for preparing for
intensive courses, like BrightPath's Bootcamps and for others too, I'm
sure.

  Framemaker 7:  The Complete Reference by O'Keefe has good reviews, but
  it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

I highly recommend this book. Look for it at http://www.scriptorium.com/
It is not a Complete Reference as included in the first title, but
an excellent textbook.

Don't know it.

Sarah O'Keefe's Framemaker 7:  The Complete Reference has been

is an excellent reference.

Re: Framemaker Books

[Deirdre Reagan]

Thanks everyone for all the good information.

Here's what I've learned:

1.  Framemaker 7.0:  Classroom in a Book is an excellent resource,
regardless of what the reviews on Amazon says.

2.  O'Keefe's book, Publishing Fundamentals: Framemaker 7.0
(previously known as Framemaker 7.0: The Complete Reference) is also
an excellent resource.  It's available through www.scriptorium.com as
a PDF, and there are plans in the works to publish an upated version
for Framemaker 8.0.

3.  Scriptorium publishes a number of books about Framemaker, and they
offer training courses also.

(All of this is for posterity -- for someone searching the archives --
hope it help!)

Thanks everyone for your information and advice.  I like Art's
especially -- read it all and every nugget puts you ahead!

Deirdre,

ABEbooks.com is a great resource for used books, and they have 17 copies
of the Beyond the Basics book (which I found very helpful after
Classroom in a Book). Several of the books are practically free +

Framemaker Uses

[Deirdre Reagan]

Just out of curiosity, what kinds of documents are people producing in
Framemaker?

Our department produces aeronautial documents, such as Component
Maintenance Manuals, Aircraft Maintenance Manuals, Wiring Diagram
Manuals, and Illustrated Parts Catalogs.

Do people produce books and magazines with Framemaker?  Is Stephen
King writing his next masterpiece on Framemaker?  Does Anna Wintour
use Framemaker to kick the next issue of Vogue to the curb? Are there
websites that have been created in a Framemaker environment?

I'm curious to know how widely used this product is and for what applications.

Thanks!

RE: Adobe PS3 drivers

[Dov Isaacs]

Bodvar,

You are NOT being given very accurate information from your so-called
agent.

First of all, Adobe has not provided its own PostScript driver since
Windows NT 4 and Windows'98 days. Since then (i.e., for Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 2008 Server),
the driver distributed by Microsoft with Windows, the PSCRIPT5.DLL driver,
is the driver that was developed by a collaboration of Adobe with Microsoft
and now maintained by Microsoft. Virtually all Adobe's OEMs package up
this driver along with some added-value plug-ins along their products.
(Providers of CloneScript devices often do likewise, although many of them
distribute a fairly unreliable PostScript driver sourced from other
companies - a separate discussion.)

There are a good number of printers available with Adobe PostScript 3. They
are available from Xerox, OKI, Ricoh, Xanté, Dell, Fuji Xerox, and others.
Some high end printer vendors sell their print engines with EFI RIPs or
Spire RIPs that all use Adobe PostScript 3.

The availability of these printers has nothing to do with drivers. A fully
functional PostScript driver is delivered by Microsoft with every copy of
Windows.

(Note that the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer available on
Adobe's website has not been updated since the days of Windows 2000. For
Windows 2000 and later, all it does is use the system's own PostScript driver
and associates it with a user designated PPD file, similar to how the built-in
Windows Add Printer Wizard works. This installer is a 16-bit installer and
does not work properly with Windows Vista nor with any 64-bit Windows version.)

Does that answer your question?!?

(USA, Canada and Mexico).

We produce our interface API documentation, various white papers, etc.,
using FrameMaker. I am the only user of it here (but we are looking for
a Sr. Tech Writer contractor in Marketing who would use it).

Many small papers and documents (generally 5 to 20 pages each) in the

No website stuff, no books (unless you consider one of my larger 200

Title of document in Acrobat title bar

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Framers,

FM 7.0
Acrobat 8.x

I thought that the Acrobat picked up the title for the title bar from the
book file's File Info in in FM. I've put the title I want to File Info, but
it's the FM book file name that displays in the Acrobat title bar.

How can I change this? Of course, I have to deliver the final PDF file
today. :o

Thanks in advance!

RE: Title of document in Acrobat title bar

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Ah, in Properties, General tab I found the field, so I just changed it
manually.

Thanks for the other ideas, too.

I am in the process of changing over to FM 8 and Acrobat 8, but this book
was too late in the game to convert now. I'll have to figure out how to get
this to work automagically in that combo. I do have TimeSavers, so it may be
an option there.

 I thought that the Acrobat picked up the title for the title bar from
the
 book file's File Info in in FM. I've put the title I want to File

 but
 it's the FM book file name that displays in the Acrobat title bar.
 
 How can I change this? Of course, I have to deliver the final PDF file
 today. :o

In Acrobat 7, it's on the Initial View tab of the Document Properties
dialog. Under Window Options, Show defaults to File Name. Change it to
Document Title.

I don't know how to do it automatically from FM (maybe MicroType
Timesavers?), but would like to. :-)

RE: Framemaker Uses

[McCallister, Michael (GE Healthcare, consultant)]

Now that Rene mentions it ... When I wrote SUSE Linux 10 Unleashed, a
couple years ago, my editors at Sams Publishing said they accepted FM
and Word files, but since it was a Linux book, doing it in Frame wasn't
practical (way too much rebooting involved). For the 2nd edition
(openSUSE Linux Unleashed--in better bookstores everywhere now), I
didn't even think about it.

But I would guess that more than one book from
Sams/Prentice-Hall/Peachpit/whoever else is in that part of the
publishing universe has been written using FrameMaker.

Book file too big

[HSC Italian]

Hello Framers,
 
I have a book that consist of close to 500 files. The total page count is shy 
of 900.
 
The problem: I cannot print a .pdf. I've created mifs to correct the issue in a 
given file and it worked, but then a few files down it did it on another file. 
I mifed ALL the files, tried to print to PDF again and now it stopping on one 
particular page. I've mifed it, I've saved the content in a new file container, 
blah blah. It won't go budge!
 
Is it possible this book, with umpteen xrefs to other files in the book is just 
maxed out?
 
Any insight is much appreciated!

Document control

[Deirdre Reagan]

Hey I'm full of questions today!

The question du jour (du minute?) is about document control.  Does
anyone have any advice they'd like to share about developing a system
for keeping track of who is currently working on a document, who has
worked on a document, and who has made what changes?

What I've done in the past (with Word) is have people put their
initials at the end of the file name so we could all see at a glance
who was currently working on the document.  At my current job, we have
a Project file to keep track of who is working on what.  Our
engineering staff uses some kind of card that people initial when the
document changes hands, so that's an option also.

But none of these solutions really speaks to the drafting stage, where
the document changes hands quite a lot before it is ready to be
reviewed.

Anyhow, I was hoping one or more of you might have suggestions.

Thanks!

Deirdre

Thai Docs/Font problem in FM8

[Susan_Corcoran]

Hi All,

I'm running FM8.0p273 on WinXP.  I have a couple of Thai documents that 
were created with an AngsanaUPC font.  In Frame 7, they show up fine and 
can be manipulated, printed, etc.  In Frame 8, the characters turn to 
garbage.  This happens on my laptop as well as another machine.  I've 
tried reapplying the font and changing it to Angsana New, but nothing 
works.  I took an old laptop and loaded Frame 7 onto it, and the Thai 
documents open fine.  Has anyone else seen this problem in Frame 8 or know 
how to fix it?
TIA.
(I'm on digest, so please apply directly.  I'll post to the list if a fix 
is found.)

Re: Framemaker Uses

[Pat Christenson]

I can't speak for fiction or magazines but I do layout of technical  
books for a couple of commercial publishers. They both have the  
authors writing in Word using a very simple template. (The thinking  
is: The books are written by subject matter experts who are not  
necessarily technical writers. Almost everyone has Word; very few  
have FrameMaker or other layout applications, nor would they be  
willing to purchase anything as pricey as Frame. In any case, the  
publishers prefer the writers not to focus on design.)

Once the content is final, it's turned over to a compositor (me or  
someone like me) who then lays it out for press. In my experience,  
more of these books are laid out in Quark or InDesign than in  
FrameMaker.

FrameMaker is widely used by corporate pubs or tech pubs groups to  
produce manuals such as you describe (Maintenance Manuals, Aircraft  
Maintenance Manuals, Wiring Diagram Manuals, and Illustrated Parts  
Catalogs).

Hope that helps -

Pat Christenson

Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML

[bja]

Hi everyone.

I have dozens of graphics ENBEDDED in my FrameMaker documents at various dpi
settings. All print well of course.

I convert to HTML using Mif2Go.

By default Mif2Go retains these image sizes so many of the graphics are
unreadable in the finished HTML.

To resolve this, I set the following statement in the mif2htm.ini file:

[GraphScale]
*=0 

In the past (using FM7.1), this setting reverted the graphics back to their
original DPI setting and undid any FM editing as well (such as rotation).

Now, I am using FM8.0 and the above statement does not appear to work any
more.

Looking at the Mif2Go user guide, it says:
-
Image size
Screen captures might be unreadable with "out-of-the-box" options. By
default, Mif2Go retains the image size specified in your FrameMaker
document. However, when you "Save as" HTML, FrameMaker produces the graphics
unscaled. To do the same with Mif2Go, set the following option:

[Graphics]
GraphScale = No

This setting determines whether Mif2Go writes width and height attributes;
when GraphScale=No those attributes are omitted from HTML output.


This should have the same effect as the previous statement so I am wondering
if there is something I am not taking into consideration or if this might be
another FM8.0 issue.

As an aside, I cannot test this as I am no longer on site and only have
FM7.1 at home (I do have a copy of the mif2htm.ini file though). I am just
trying to be of assistance to a previous manager so any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Bruce Ashley

Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML

[bja]

Jeremy is correct.

I  initially sent this query to the list (Jeremy must get a squillion
queries and I thought the list could answer this one) but for some reason it
didn't get posted so after waiting 50 minutes or so I also sent the query
direct to Jeremy (and corrected the ENBEDDED typo:)).

Jeremy has since answered my query and I have since taken the necessary
steps to resolve the issue.

Thanks again Jeremy.

A pity it took 4.5 hours for the posting to hit the list but fortunately
Jeremy was much quicker. :)

Let's see how long it takes for this one to be posted.

Cheers,

Bruce

It won't for embedded graphics, only for referenced.  The reason is that
with embedded graphics, we have to have Frame use its native graphic export
filters to produce images, and those always resample the graphics to the DPI
specified at the size of the anchored frame.

>This should have the same effect as the *=0 statement so I am wondering

It's not 8.0, it's always the case for embedded graphics.  Another reason
that's a Real Bad Idea, as if more were needed...  ;-)

What you can do is labor-intensive, but you only have to do it once:
change from embedded to referenced.  If you still have the original
graphics, you can re-import them by reference with the embedded one
selected, and the referenced one will replace the embedded.

If you *don't* have the originals, you can export the embedded ones from
Frame with Mif2Go, rename them appropriately, then re-import as above.  See
par. 29.2.3.2, "Exporting embedded graphics before converting".

I assume that the question relates to adding a cross-file bookmark in the 
PDF file, in Acrobat. In the bookmark properties, Actions, select the "Go 
to a page view" action, and click Add. A dialog box titled "Create Go to 
View" will be displayed. Open the target PDF file at the required location 
(using any method you prefer in Acrobat:  File > Open, Window, activating 
links in the current PDF etc.), then click the Set Link button in the 
"Create Go to View" dialog box.

The relative path from the current PDF to the target PDF is registered in 
the bookmark action.

OT: Adobe PS3 drivers

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

We are in the process of updating our PostScript color printer. Only a
few seem to be offering true Adobe PS3 printers, but one of the agents
(with a brand that seems to offer either one of true Adobe PS3 or a
PS3 emulator) says that Adobe no longer provides drivers, only
licenses for third parties to make those, resulting in diminishing
offers of printers with the "Adobe PS3" logo.

Can anyone on the list confirm this or explain this? (Dov? Shlomo?)

Thank you,

Framemaker Books

[Deirdre Reagan]

Hi all:

I know this topic was just covered, and I've searched for it in the
archives, but I'd like also to get your opinions.

I've been told that Framemaker:  Classroom in a Book is an excellent
resource for learning FM.  But on Amazon, the reviews are very poor.

Framemaker 7:  The Complete Reference by O'Keefe has good reviews, but
it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

Framemaker 6: Beyond the Basics by Jahred has outstanding reviews but
it also is no longer available.

Any suggestions?

Very good for starting on your own. Helpful for preparing for

sure.

I highly recommend this book. Look for it at http://www.scriptorium.com/
It is not a "Complete Reference" as included in the first title, but
an excellent textbook.

Framemaker Books

Compared to your time, books are cheap.

And you're allowed to own more than one. ;-  )

If you learn anything from them and also use them for reference, buy
whatever you can find and read them. If you get one or two nuggets
from any of them, you're ahead.

Framemaker Books

[Deirdre Reagan]

Thanks everyone for all the good information.

Here's what I've learned:

1.  Framemaker 7.0:  Classroom in a Book is an excellent resource,
regardless of what the reviews on Amazon says.

2.  O'Keefe's book, Publishing Fundamentals: Framemaker 7.0
(previously known as Framemaker 7.0: The Complete Reference) is also
an excellent resource.  It's available through www.scriptorium.com as
a PDF, and there are plans in the works to publish an upated version
for Framemaker 8.0.

3.  Scriptorium publishes a number of books about Framemaker, and they
offer training courses also.

(All of this is for posterity -- for someone searching the archives --
hope it help!)

Thanks everyone for your information and advice.  I like Art's
especially -- read it all and every nugget puts you ahead!

Deirdre,

ABEbooks.com is a great resource for used books, and they have 17 copies
of the "Beyond the Basics" book (which I found very helpful after
"Classroom in a Book"). Several of the books are practically free +
shipping. Here's the link:

Hi all:

I know this topic was just covered, and I've searched for it in the
archives, but I'd like also to get your opinions.

I've been told that Framemaker:  Classroom in a Book is an excellent
resource for learning FM.  But on Amazon, the reviews are very poor.

Framemaker 7:  The Complete Reference by O'Keefe has good reviews, but
it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

Framemaker 6: Beyond the Basics by Jahred has outstanding reviews but it
also is no longer available.

Any suggestions?

Framemaker Uses

[Deirdre Reagan]

Just out of curiosity, what kinds of documents are people producing in
Framemaker?

Our department produces aeronautial documents, such as Component
Maintenance Manuals, Aircraft Maintenance Manuals, Wiring Diagram
Manuals, and Illustrated Parts Catalogs.

Do people produce books and magazines with Framemaker?  Is Stephen
King writing his next masterpiece on Framemaker?  Does Anna Wintour
use Framemaker to kick the next issue of Vogue to the curb? Are there
websites that have been created in a Framemaker environment?

I'm curious to know how widely used this product is and for what applications.

Thanks!

Adobe PS3 drivers

[Dov Isaacs]

Bodvar,

You are NOT being given very accurate information from your so-called
agent.

First of all, Adobe has not provided its own PostScript driver since
Windows NT 4 and Windows'98 days. Since then (i.e., for Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 2008 Server),
the driver distributed by Microsoft with Windows, the PSCRIPT5.DLL driver,
is the driver that was developed by a collaboration of Adobe with Microsoft
and now maintained by Microsoft. Virtually all Adobe's OEMs package up
this driver along with some added-value "plug-ins" along their products.
(Providers of CloneScript devices often do likewise, although many of them
distribute a fairly unreliable PostScript driver sourced from other
companies - a separate discussion.)

There are a good number of printers available with Adobe PostScript 3. They
are available from Xerox, OKI, Ricoh, Xant?, Dell, Fuji Xerox, and others.
Some high end printer vendors sell their print engines with EFI RIPs or
Spire RIPs that all use Adobe PostScript 3.

The availability of these printers has nothing to do with drivers. A fully
functional PostScript driver is delivered by Microsoft with every copy of
Windows.

(Note that the "Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer" available on
Adobe's website has not been updated since the days of Windows 2000. For
Windows 2000 and later, all it does is use the system's own PostScript driver
and associates it with a user designated PPD file, similar to how the built-in
Windows "Add Printer Wizard" works. This installer is a 16-bit installer and
does not work properly with Windows Vista nor with any 64-bit Windows version.)

Does that answer your question?!?

Framemaker Uses

[syed.hos...@aeris.net]

The company I work for, Aeris Communications, Inc., is in the telecom
industry, providing Machine-2-Machine networks across North America
(USA, Canada and Mexico).

We produce our interface API documentation, various white papers, etc.,
using FrameMaker. I am the only user of it here (but we are looking for
a Sr. Tech Writer contractor in Marketing who would use it).

Many small papers and documents (generally 5 to 20 pages each) in the
Marketing department are done with Word 2003 and 2007.

No website stuff, no books (unless you consider one of my larger 200
page API document to be a book :)), no famous writers writing
spine-chillers, no magazines ...

Title of document in Acrobat title bar

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Framers,

FM 7.0
Acrobat 8.x

I thought that the Acrobat picked up the title for the title bar from the
book file's File Info in in FM. I've put the title I want to File Info, but
it's the FM book file name that displays in the Acrobat title bar.

How can I change this? Of course, I have to deliver the final PDF file
today. :o

Thanks in advance!

In Acrobat 7, it's on the Initial View tab of the Document Properties
dialog. Under Window Options, Show defaults to File Name. Change it to
Document Title.

I don't know how to do it automatically from FM (maybe MicroType
Timesavers?), but would like to. :-)

Title of document in Acrobat title bar

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Ah, in Properties, General tab I found the field, so I just changed it
manually.

Thanks for the other ideas, too.

I am in the process of changing over to FM 8 and Acrobat 8, but this book
was too late in the game to convert now. I'll have to figure out how to get
this to work automagically in that combo. I do have TimeSavers, so it may be
an option there.

Framemaker Uses

[McCallister, Michael (GE Healthcare, consultant)]

Now that Rene mentions it ... When I wrote "SUSE Linux 10 Unleashed," a
couple years ago, my editors at Sams Publishing said they accepted FM
and Word files, but since it was a Linux book, doing it in Frame wasn't
practical (way too much rebooting involved). For the 2nd edition
("openSUSE Linux Unleashed"--in better bookstores everywhere now), I
didn't even think about it.

But I would guess that more than one book from
Sams/Prentice-Hall/Peachpit/whoever else is in that part of the
publishing universe has been written using FrameMaker.

Book file too big

[HSC Italian]

Hello Framers,

I have a book that consist of close to 500 files. The total page count is shy 
of 900.

The problem: I cannot print a .pdf. I've created mifs to correct the issue in a 
given file and it worked, but then a few files down it did it on another file. 
I mifed ALL the files, tried to print to PDF again and now it stopping on one 
particular page. I've mifed it, I've saved the content in a new file container, 
blah blah. It won't go budge!

Is it possible this book, with umpteen xrefs to other files in the book is just 
maxed out?

Any insight is much appreciated!

Document control

[Deirdre Reagan]

Hey I'm full of questions today!

The question du jour (du minute?) is about document control.  Does
anyone have any advice they'd like to share about developing a system
for keeping track of who is currently working on a document, who has
worked on a document, and who has made what changes?

What I've done in the past (with Word) is have people put their
initials at the end of the file name so we could all see at a glance
who was currently working on the document.  At my current job, we have
a Project file to keep track of who is working on what.  Our
engineering staff uses some kind of card that people initial when the
document changes hands, so that's an option also.

But none of these solutions really speaks to the drafting stage, where
the document changes hands quite a lot before it is ready to be
reviewed.

Anyhow, I was hoping one or more of you might have suggestions.

Thanks!

Deirdre

Book file too big

[Art Campbell]

Because it keeps stopping at the same place, Rick's suggestion that
the page probably has some content on it that's causing your problem
is probably right on. Look at the page and see if there are any
imported graphics, unresolved cross refs anything that is not
quite right.

Unless you're on a really underpowered machine without enough temp
space to create working files, FM isn't anywhere near maxxed out

It'd be helpful if you'd basic trouble shooting info such as your OS,
version of Frame, version of Acrobat, and any network info that may
apply.

Cheers,
Art

Thai Docs/Font problem in FM8

[susan_corco...@handheld.com]

Hi All,

I'm running FM8.0p273 on WinXP.  I have a couple of Thai documents that 
were created with an AngsanaUPC font.  In Frame 7, they show up fine and 
can be manipulated, printed, etc.  In Frame 8, the characters turn to 
garbage.  This happens on my laptop as well as another machine.  I've 
tried reapplying the font and changing it to Angsana New, but nothing 
works.  I took an old laptop and loaded Frame 7 onto it, and the Thai 
documents open fine.  Has anyone else seen this problem in Frame 8 or know 
how to fix it?
TIA.
(I'm on digest, so please apply directly.  I'll post to the list if a fix 
is found.)

Document control

[Flato, Gillian]

You need to use version control software like CVS or subversion. Then
you submit all source files to a network directory visible to all Tech
Writers. Then each TW has to checkout the file in order to work on it
and check it back in when finished. All you have to do is look in the
version control software and it displays who the doc is checked out to.

Framemaker Uses

[Pat Christenson]

I can't speak for fiction or magazines but I do layout of technical  
books for a couple of commercial publishers. They both have the  
authors writing in Word using a very simple template. (The thinking  
is: The books are written by subject matter experts who are not  
necessarily technical writers. "Almost everyone" has Word; very few  
have FrameMaker or other layout applications, nor would they be  
willing to purchase anything as pricey as Frame. In any case, the  
publishers prefer the writers not to focus on design.)

Once the content is final, it's turned over to a compositor (me or  
someone like me) who then lays it out for press. In my experience,  
more of these books are laid out in Quark or InDesign than in  
FrameMaker.

FrameMaker is widely used by corporate pubs or tech pubs groups to  
produce manuals such as you describe (Maintenance Manuals, Aircraft  
Maintenance Manuals, Wiring Diagram Manuals, and Illustrated Parts  
Catalogs).

Hope that helps -

Pat Christenson

We are creating 1000+-page catalogs of industrial supplies (hammers,  
gloves, ladders, mig welders, etc.). Both color and grayscale.
