Editing Multiple PDF Bookmarks
Frame Gurus: My Framemaker document contains dozens of academic subject area sections that each contain similar headings. Those headings translate to bookmarks when the document is converted to PDF. One such heading is for a faculty roster. The head identified for bookmarking reads "Professors" but the bookmark itself must read "Faculty." Since there are about 140 of these, I'd like to be able to edit the bookmarks in a batch. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat 9? Conditional text in the Frame file--to substitute "Faculty" for the current head--does not seem to be the answer here, because showing it would create a redundancy for the reader as well as alter pagination and text flow. Any options? Thank you, Karen Robbins ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: Troubleshooting cross references
Check your reference pages. I recently worked through a document where lines of text graphics had been placed in the reference pages, then deleted, but the paratags still intact. Every time I checked for unresolved references it took me to a blank space on a page, and I finally wised up. gb On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 1:50 PM, Jenny Greenleaf wrote: > Frame Listas, > > OK, I fully know that I did this to myself.

Could they be tagged with a condition that's hidden? But in any case, when you break xrefs by changing a file name or path, there's a faster way to fix them. 1. Select Edit > Update References, and in the dialog, select All Cross-References and click Update. The Update Unresolved Cross-References dialog appears. 2. In the list at the top, select the file you renamed (by its the old name) to see how many unresolved xrefs there are to that file. 3. Under For Cross-References to Selected File, Look In, browse to and select the renamed file, and click Open. That fixes all the xrefs to a give file at once. Repeat for other renamed files. HTH!

But as soon as the reader switches out of single page view (e.g., changes zoom), the behavior Pete doesn't like returns, because the bookmark destination is still the heading. Pete, your lengthy procedure can be shortened somewhat. But I don't know of any other (that is, automated) solution unless one of the TimeSavers tools from Microtype.com provides one. Here's the simpler manual process: 1. Right-click the chapter bookmark and select Properties, and then select the Actions tab. 2. Under Actions, click Edit. 3. In the dialog, select Use Page Number, and set Page to the correct number. 4. Set Zoom to Inherit Zoom and click OK. That replaces the first dozen steps of your procedure. As for steps 13-16, well -- the best solution is to use an autonumber in the title pgf for the chapter/appendix numbering, not a separate pgf. I can't think of any elegant alternative, but maybe you could kludge something with an autonumber (or xref) using a char format that makes the number very small and white. HTH! Richard G.

Jenny, You might have to view the master pages in each suspect file to look for your broken cross references.

Re: FrameMaker PDF Bookmarks
I think you out of luck doing this in FrameMaker. It has to do with bookmark placement, which normally is at the destination of the bookmark. In Acrobat it is a different story, and I verified this on a PDF. On the Properties page (File > Properties), under the Initial View tab: set Page layout to Single page set Magnification to Fit Page In Window Options, check Resize window to initial page Whenever you click a bookmark, the page containing the bookmark is displayed edge-to-edge, regardless of where the actual bookmark sits. These are Acrobat 8 settings, so in Acrobat 9 there may be differences. --- On Wed, 6/23/10, Pete Roebber wrote: From: Pete Roebber Subject: FrameMaker PDF Bookmarks To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 11:26 AM Hi all, I have a process I engage in after creating a PDF in Frame that is tedious and time consuming and has to be repeated each time the PDF is revised. It would be great if I could configure Frame to give me the results I require, or install a plug-in for Frame or Acrobat to automate the process. Is there a way to set Frame to generate a numbered or lettered top-level bookmark for each chapter or appendix in a book that displays the target page from the top of the page down instead of from the title down, create unnumbered bookmarks for TOC, LOT, LOF that display the same way, and create unnumbered level 2/level 3 bookmarks for heading 1/heading 2 titles that display the page from the title down? If not, is there a plug-in for Frame or Acrobat that would automate or at least streamline doing something like this? Currently I enable bookmark generation in Frame 9 on my PC so my PDF is generated with bookmarks for the TOC, LOT, LOF, each chapter/appendix, heading 1, and heading 2. Clicking on a generated bookmark in the PDF displays the bookmarked page in "fit page width view," with the title at the top and about 2/3 of the page below it. This is perfect for heading 1/heading 2 bookmarks. But for TOC/LOT/LOF/chapter/appendix bookmarks I want it to display the top of the page where the chapter number/appendix letter and company logo are. To get it to do that I follow the following process with Acrobat tools for each TOC/LOT/LOF/chapter/appendix: 1. Click on the chapter bookmark to display the first page of the chapter. 2. Click on the toolbar button to display the full page 3. Click on the toolbar button to display the fit page width view. This results in displaying the page the way I want it, with the chapter number and company logo showing at the top. 4. Right-click on the bookmark. 5. Select "Set Destination" from the menu 6. Click OK. This results in the bookmark displaying the page the way I want, but could mess up the reader's desired zoom level. Not done yet! 7. Right-click again on the bookmark. 8. Select "Properties" from the menu 9. Click on the Actions tab 10. Click on the Edit button 11. Select "Inherit Zoom" in the Zoom drop down box 12. Click OK to accept the change and OK again to close the dialog box. Now the bookmark displays the page the way I want and the way the reader wants, but I'm still not quite done! 13. If this is a chapter or appendix, click on the bookmark to select it. It turns blue when it is selected. 14. Click on the bookmark again to edit it 15. Place the cursor at the beginning of the bookmark 16. Type in the appropriate chapter number or appendix letter for that bookmark 17. Repeat steps 1-12 for each TOC/LOT/LOF and 1-16 for each chapter/appendix 18. Phew! Now I'm done, but I've sure had to jump through a lot of hoops to get there!

These are Acrobat 8 settings, so in Acrobat 9 there may be differences. --- On Wed, 6/23/10, Pete Roebber wrote: From: Pete Roebber Subject: FrameMaker PDF Bookmarks To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Date: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 11:26 AM Hi all, I have a process I engage in after creating a PDF in Frame that is tedious and time consuming and has to be repeated each time the PDF is revised.

Is there a way to set Frame to generate a numbered or lettered top-level bookmark for each chapter or appendix in a book that displays the target page from the top of the page down instead of from the title down, create unnumbered? bookmarks for TOC, LOT, LOF that display the same way, and create unnumbered level 2/level 3 bookmarks for heading 1/heading 2 titles that display the page from the title down? If not, is there a plug-in for Frame or Acrobat that would automate or at least streamline doing something like this? Currently I enable bookmark generation in Frame 9 on my PC so my PDF is generated with bookmarks for the TOC, LOT, LOF, each chapter/appendix, heading 1, and heading 2. Clicking on a generated bookmark in the PDF displays the bookmarked page in "fit page width view," with the title at the top and about 2/3 of the page below it. This is perfect for heading 1/heading 2 bookmarks. But for TOC/LOT/LOF/chapter/appendix bookmarks I want it to display the top of the page where the chapter number/appendix letter and company logo are. To get it to do that I follow the following process with Acrobat tools for each TOC/LOT/LOF/chapter/appendix: 1. Click on the chapter bookmark to display the first page of the chapter. 2. Click on the toolbar button to display the full page 3. Click on the toolbar button to display the? fit page width view. This results in displaying the page the way I want it, with the chapter number and company logo showing at the top. 4. Right-click on the bookmark. 5. Select "Set Destination" from the menu 6. Click OK. This results in the bookmark displaying the page the way I want, but could mess up the reader's desired zoom level. Not done yet! 7. Right-click again on the bookmark. 8. Select "Properties" from the menu 9. Click on the Actions tab 10. Click on the Edit button 11. Select "Inherit Zoom" in the Zoom drop down box 12. Click OK to accept the change and OK again to close the dialog box. Now the bookmark displays the page the way I want and the way the reader wants, but I'm still not quite done! 13. If this is a chapter or appendix, click on the bookmark to select it. It turns blue when it is selected. 14. Click on the bookmark again to edit it 15. Place the cursor at the beginning of the bookmark 16. Type in the appropriate chapter number or appendix letter for that bookmark 17. Repeat steps 1-12 for each TOC/LOT/LOF and 1-16 for each chapter/appendix 18. Phew! Now I'm done, but I've sure had to jump through a lot of hoops to get there! Any help would be vastly appreciated by me and my coworkers! Pete ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as dspreadb at yahoo.com. Send list messages to framers at lists.frameusers.com.

Re: A Graphics Library...Why?
Hi Eduardo, Seems like the answering messages got hijacked with wistful desires for features and specifications... To get back to your request, I intuit that you are documenting standard work policies, either already existing or possibly needed. To support the creation of your library, you can imagine various uses in the near future. Your own list included: Traceability Locating Graphics Documentation Mapping If a Writer needs a compound image with existing parts or with a combination of existing and new parts (parts = the widgets your writers are documenting), what is the most economical and the most convenient way to get started? For consistent documents and also for ease of building a drawing, having a stock of drawing building blocks makes a lot of sense. In my current job, we write maintenance manuals with various test setups. The test instruments and the test components are collected in a library as we create them (while drawing a new test setup). When we add a new instrument to a standard test, we can collect standard drawings and symbolic components so that all of our test descriptions in all of our manuals have a similar style. This is intended to give the customers a comfortable feeling while following our instructions. Our test instruments are fairly complex signal generators, power meters, spectrum analyzers, and vector network analyzers. We create outline drawings in Adobe Illustrator that show the connections, buttons, and display panels. We find our library of images both convenient and cost effective. It certainly saves time by having many drawing components already available for copy and paste. I can image a procedure that describes: General formatting and styles for drawings Storage locations, names, and groupings (folders/subdirectories) for convenient search Grayscale drawings and color images for different document purposes Photos versus drawings A new team member would want to know what style is required and where to find examples. Your SOP could answer such questions and serve as a reminder to the whole team for both storage and recall of new and existing images. I hope this is helpful. Auditors seem to have a need to justify these things. Ed DeRosier ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.
