RE: Problems when exporting to PDF from FM8
I am seeing the same errors, except that I print to PS using Adobe PDF and then distill to PDF. Headings, headers, and footers are sometimes munged, but only during the first few pages of the file. the errors show up on the screen as well as in print. First, I'm going to update FM to 8.03 and then reprint to PS and distill. I'm going to change the font and see if that fixes the problem. All of the munged items use Tahoma. I'll also try changing the job options settings, like embedding the fonts and see if that changes anything. Meanwhile, if any of you know a fix or a workaround for this, I'd appreciate it if you would post iot to the list.

Then you need to analyze what the differences are between your setup and your coworker's. Are there any errors recorded in the log files? It could be a font problem. Go to Distiller's Adobe PDF Settings dialog, Fonts page, and make sure that it's set to embed fonts. And set When embedding fails to Cancel job. That way, if it's a missing (or unembeddable) font, at least you'll know. :-) HTH! Richard Richard G.

Fwd: Booklet function with Framemaker
The usual way to do this is to paginate the file normally and print the file to PDF. Then use pre-press tools such as Quite Imposing (there are many others that do the same thing) to set up the imposition pattern. Note that it is a pre-press tool. Most FM users can get into trouble with this if they're doing the work for a commercial printer because the printer knows his equipment and its required workflow better than the author. Because the author doesn't work with the printer's equipment and is attempting to do a job for which they aren't qualified, the author is likely to create more work for the printer instead of less. It's probably safe if you're designing a booklet that you think someone would download from a www site and print on a home printer or if you're printing a few copies for yourself on your own printer. But even there you're likely to create a file that many people can't print accurately because printer drivers print multi-page duplex files in different ways. Again, unless you know the equipment and software in use, it's hard to predict the right imposition pattern.

Re: another table question
Not automatically generated words controlled directly by the table format, no. However, you can set up a series of paragraph tags, one for each column, and add text to each one's Autonumbering field. If the tag is in the correct Heading Cell, the text will be too. In most cases, if you create a table, set it up with the correct tags in the correct columns, and then open and save the settings in Table Designer, the next time you create a table, the tags should show up as the default setup. I haven't tested this with multiple different tags, though, just with one tag in each column. But that's the way I'd try to automate it. Worst case is that you'd have to change a couple tags after you create the table. And, if you have FrameScript, you could also do the automatic words with a script.

Re: another table question
Hi Leah, Not text per se, but since the paragraph formats for each cell are stored with the table format, you could use formats that have autonumbers to define the text you want. Here are the general steps you can use: 1) Insert a table with the desired format and the number of columns that you would normally use. 2) Click in each heading cell and create a paragraph format with the autonumber set to the text you want for each cell. 3) When you are done, open the Table Designer and click Update All. The next time you insert one of these tables, you will get your heading text.

I was hoping to avoid this solution, but if ya gotta, ya gotta. And guess what - there is a gotcha. One of the columns is narrow, so the 2 word text wraps around.

[Accordion] Booklet function with Framemaker
Hello, Following the topic on issuing booklets from Frame (straight from Frame ou through Acrobat), here is an extra question: how do you (and do you have to, or is it the printer job?) prepare your document when the final format has been agreed to be an accordion booklet? I am facing the problem today, since I have to issue a getting started guide in accordion format (6,5 cm x 10,5 cm), 10 pages. Do the tools you previously mentioned (Quite Imposing / CleanPDF) have this kind of feature? I am using FM 17.2 on PC. Thanks for your help, Mathieu.

Re: [Accordion] Booklet function with Framemaker
I believe that it does, but again, if you're having this printed professionally and you receive specific instructions from the printer that they want something non-standard, it is usually better to give the printer a clean PDF file and let them do the pagination and imposition. That's part of their job; what you or your client is paying them to do. That being said, an accordion fold card would use standard FM set up of sequential pages. Page 1 is the cover and as you open the accordion, 2,3,4, and 5 follow. Flip it over and 6,7,8,9, and 10 follow. So there isn't any unusual imposition required.

Re: another table question or automatic text in a heading row
A \t adds a tab stop which isn't going to do anything unless you also set up a tab stop in the para tag. See if it'll take a \r to force a return after the first word.

Ignore missing files on open not possible
Dear all, After finding a note from my first FM8 experience last fall about this issue, I'm sorry to present this issue again: FM 8.0.2 on XP SP2, 1GB RAM, plenty of disk space on both machines. A - on the workstation everything works as expected B - on the laptop when opening a file whose pictures can not be found, and activating ignore this/all missing files nothing happens. I can only close the dialog and go back to the workstation to handle this file. The FM files in question can be on a hard-disk, on an USB stick or an USB-disk - this does not matter. The images were on the same drive as the fm files, hence the paths found in the (binary) files are relative. The files are FM7, hence prior to the 'missing graphics' message I get the message about changing version. On the laptop I now have removed Acrobat stuff and FrameMaker 8 and then re-installed Acrobat 8 and FrameMaker 8, 8.0.1, 8.0.2 = no positive result. Converting the files on the workstation to FM8 then transfer to the laptop and open them with FM8 = does not help either (problem originally occurred with FM 8 files). That's the end of my latin - any clues where to look for that devil?Anzeige: www.mymemo.ch und nie mehr einen Gedanken oder Termin verpassen.

Re: Ignore missing files on open not possible
Klaus, With all respect, this looks and sounds as if it's a configuration problem on the laptop, not a FM bug or issue. Something isn't identical...

RE: Booklet function with Framemaker
I would most strongly endorse the Quite Imposing and Quite Imposing Plus plug-ins from Quite Software. I've been using them for a number of years as my imposition tool of choice when not having the luxury of going out for professional printing. The software is highly reliable and efficient with a tremendous amount of functionality.

Ann: GlossBase Available for Download - A free application for generating glossaries
GolehTek, LLC is pleased to announce the release of GlossBase Personal Edition, a freely-available application that greatly enhances the glossary features of Adobe FrameMaker. GlossBase allows you to define glossary terms using an unlimited number of paragraphs, tables, graphics, and equations. GlossBase encodes terms and definitions in XML and stores them in a database. When you are ready to generate a glossary for a FrameMaker book, GlossBase compares every word combination from your FrameMaker chapters against the database and automatically builds a glossary of relevant terms. If you are using WebWorks ePublisher Pro, GlossBase can also insert the markers and apply the character formats necessary for glossary definitions to automatically appear in a pop-up window in the on-line help. GlossBase is compatible with FrameMaker versions 7.x and above. GlossBase also requires FrameScript version 4.1 or later. GlossBase is available for download from the Free Scripts section of the GolehTek web site at http://www.golehtek.com. Best regards, Martin Martin R.

Re: RE turkish sortorder
Problem solved; the answer is in the User Guide, and it's fairly clear. I had to look up the Danish alphabet, then use it on the reference page to re-order the index group titles and to replace the $alphabetics building block. Of course, if someone knows an easier way I could have done this, or knows of any pitfalls inherent in changing sort order (other than the obvious one of getting the order wrong), you response would be helpful.

Headings, headers, and footers are sometimes munged, but only during the first few pages of the file. the errors show up on the screen as well as in print. First, I'm going to update FM to 8.03 and then reprint to PS and distill. I'm going to change the font and see if that fixes the problem. All of the munged items use Tahoma.

Fwd: Booklet function with Framemaker
The usual way to do this is to paginate the file normally and print the file to PDF. Then use pre-press tools such as Quite Imposing (there are many others that do the same thing) to set up the imposition pattern. Note that it is a pre-press tool. Most FM users can get into trouble with this if they're doing the work for a commercial printer because the printer knows his equipment and its required workflow better than the author. Because the author doesn't work with the printer's equipment and is attempting to do a job for which they aren't qualified, the author is likely to create more work for the printer instead of less. It's probably safe if you're designing a booklet that you think someone would download from a www site and print on a home printer or if you're printing a few copies for yourself on your own printer. But even there you're likely to create a file that many people can't print accurately because printer drivers print multi-page duplex files in different ways. Again, unless you know the equipment and software in use, it's hard to predict the right imposition pattern.

another table question
Hi Leah, Not "text" per se, but since the paragraph formats for each cell are stored with the table format, you could use formats that have autonumbers to define the text you want. Here are the general steps you can use: 1) Insert a table with the desired format and the number of columns that you would normally use. 2) Click in each heading cell and create a paragraph format with the autonumber set to the text you want for each cell. 3) When you are done, open the Table Designer and click Update All. The next time you insert one of these tables, you will get your heading text.

another table question or automatic text in a heading row
I was hoping to avoid this solution, but if ya gotta, ya gotta. And guess what - there is a gotcha. One of the columns is narrow, so the 2 word text wraps around. When these 2 words are the autonumber value, they do not wrap around. They are squeezed onto one line and the second work overlays the first word! Any suggestions?

[Accordion] Booklet function with Framemaker
Hello, Following the topic on issuing booklets from Frame (straight from Frame ou through Acrobat), here is an extra question: how do you (and do you have to, or is it the printer job?) prepare your document when the final format has been agreed to be an accordion booklet? I am facing the problem today, since I have to issue a "getting started guide" in accordion format (6,5 cm x 10,5 cm), 10 pages. Do the tools you previously mentioned (Quite Imposing / CleanPDF) have this kind of feature? I am using FM 17.2 on PC. Thanks for your help, Mathieu. > Subject: RE: Booklet function with Framemaker > Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 13:49:19 +0200 > From: wreng at tycoint.com > To: framers at lists.frameusers.com > > Hi, > > A simple solution would be to create a regular PDF file > and then print a booklet to a PDF file via Acrobat. > > CutePDF is cheap and is able to do this: > http://www.cutepdf.com/ > > Best regards > > Winfried > >> -Original Message- >> From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com >> [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of >> Andersen, Verner Engell VEA >> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 12:52 PM >> To: framers at lists.frameusers.com >> Subject: Booklet function with Framemaker >> >> Hey >> >> Is there a plugin which enables to create a booklet with >> Framemaker.

[Accordion] Booklet function with Framemaker
I believe that it does, but again, if you're having this printed professionally and you receive specific instructions from the printer that they want something non-standard, it is usually better to give the printer a clean PDF file and let them do the pagination and imposition. That's part of their job; what you or your client is paying them to do. That being said, an accordion fold card would use standard FM set up of sequential pages. Page 1 is the cover and as you open the accordion, 2,3,4, and 5 follow. Flip it over and 6,7,8,9, and 10 follow. So there isn't any unusual imposition required.

another table question or automatic text in a heading row
A \t adds a tab stop which isn't going to do anything unless you also set up a tab stop in the para tag. See if it'll take a \r to force a return after the first word. That should work, but it doesn't take on my system. However, em spaces do work. Try putting a \sm or two between your words to force a break.

Ignore missing files on open not possible
Dear all, After finding a note from my first FM8 experience last fall about this issue, I'm sorry to present this issue again: FM 8.0.2 on XP SP2, 1GB RAM, plenty of disk space on both machines. A - on the workstation everything works as expected B - on the laptop when opening a file whose pictures can not be found, and activating "ignore this/all missing files" nothing happens. I can only close the dialog and go back to the workstation to handle this file. The FM files in question can be on a hard-disk, on an USB stick or an USB-disk - this does not matter. The images were on the same drive as the fm files, hence the paths found in the (binary) files are relative. The files are FM7, hence prior to the 'missing graphics' message I get the message about changing version. On the laptop I now have removed Acrobat stuff and FrameMaker 8 and then re-installed Acrobat 8 and FrameMaker 8, 8.0.1, 8.0.2 => no positive result. Converting the files on the workstation to FM8 then transfer to the laptop and open them with FM8 => does not help either (problem originally occurred with FM 8 files). That's the end of my latin - any clues where to look for that devil?Anzeige: www.mymemo.ch und nie mehr einen Gedanken oder Termin verpassen.

Ignore missing files on open not possible
Klaus, With all respect, this looks and sounds as if it's a configuration problem on the laptop, not a FM bug or issue. Something isn't identical... Are the Windows user name and group memvership set up exactly the same on both machines? Exactly, letter / case matches? The FM setup is the same? Can you copy maker.ini file from one to the other and nothing breaks? (BTW, there is a 8.0.3 patch out now...) Virus checker is the same on both systems?

Booklet function with Framemaker
I would most strongly endorse the Quite Imposing and Quite Imposing Plus plug-ins from Quite Software. I've been using them for a number of years as my imposition tool of choice when not having the luxury of going out for professional printing. The software is highly reliable and efficient with a tremendous amount of functionality. Page imposition and booklet making as a primary example of such imposition tasks is really something that you should not do in a page layout / authoring tool. - Dov > -Original Message- > From: Jacob Sch?ffer > Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 4:06 AM > > Hello Verner, > > I'm not sure there is a Plug-in for Framemaker that does it, but Quite > Imposing (Plus) is a simple-to- > use tool that creates booklets with PDF documents, see > http://www.quite.com/imposing/index.htm. > > Best regards / Med venlig hilsen > Jacob Sch?ffer | Chief Developer > > > -Oprindelig meddelelse- > > Fra: Andersen, Verner Engell VEA > > Sendt: 20. maj 2008 12:52 > > > > Hey > > > > Is there a plugin which enables to create a booklet with > > Framemaker.

how to get list of variables and values
Does anyone know of a way to get a complete list (text is fine) of all the variables in a FM file and their values? I'm using FM 7.1 Thank you! Karene
Conditional Text Just Won't Go Away
Disclaimer: I apologize if this message appears on the list twice. The first time I sent it, I did not use the email address that is registered with framers. Hi. FM 8.0p273 Windows XP (running on parallels on a Mac) I am fast approaching the end of my tether working with conditional text. FM won't let me make some segments of text unconditional. In fact, when I try to remove the conditional tag, the text turns bright green with a strikethrough effect. What's more... when I try again, it's now bright red with a strikethrough effect. And, (hullo, what's this?) now it's bright red with a strikethrough effect and a change bar. All three conditions in the document are set to Style: As Is, and three different colors (green, olive, and magenta). I cannot make this text unconditional. Selecting (or deselecting) Special > Conditional Text > Show Conditional Text at the document level or the book level affects all of the conditionally tagged paragraphs except for these red, struck through, paragraphs. What's going on? Is it FM telling me that I'm doing something very wrong? I've looked at the FM documentation, and it's giving me nothing. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here? Update: I also cannot copy and paste any of the affected text. If I select it, ctrl+c and then ctrl+v somewhere else, it won't paste. Although I can Edit > Undo Paste. Go figure. Is it possible that these segments of text have, through some action or combination of actions, become hopelessly corrupted? Is that even possible? Thanks, Jona Steenbrink
