Re: [OT] Adobe's pricing policy
There is no such thing as a free lunch, Peter. ;-) By the way, the price ratio seems to be the same for other products too: the prices in the US store are 53 % of the prices in the European store! Hmmm, I'm wondering is there is anyone buying FrameMaker 9 Server in Europe, priced at 10746 EUR (14 967 USD). The price in the US store is 5685 EUR (7919 USD). I'm curious what the prices are in China or India, but they don't seem to have an online Adobe Store (yet).

S1000D in Framemaker
Dear all, Does anyone have some experience with creation of S1000D manuals in Framemaker, no matter the Framemaker version? One of our customers and by consequence my project manager asked me to find out if we can write them via PTC products but price seems the first and main obstacle, besided the learning curve. And as we do have a lot of experience with (unstructured) Frame, it would be obvious to insist on writing them via our beloved tool. The download of the package is for free, right? Anyhow, I'm going to have a look at this webinar https://my.adobe.acrobat.com/p31412590/ but any real-life experiences you all like to share would be great! thanks in advance, Tom Tom De Rouck SGS Documentation Services Technical Writer Information in this email and any attachments is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed or otherwise directed.

Re: FM 7.0 Locks up on Windows 7
I have noticed something similar with my FM 7 and Windows 7 setup. Often, I will get a Not Responding notification in the FM title bar.

Re: Scale or change dpi to make a screen shot filt within printer margins
Change the import DPI. This will retain the image quality while reducing the size of the image by incorporating more dots per inch. So long as you don't exceed 600 DPI for the image, it will print just fine on your 600 DPI printer. If you resize the image, in a photo editor or some such application, you will be throwing away image information (pixels) and will be forcing the software to reinterpret the pixel order of the newly sized image, creating distortion/noise. Don't do that. ;-) I have a rule for print to standardize screen shots (native 96 DPI) at 150 DPI. It reduces the image enough to not hog page real estate but still makes the image easy to see. I adjust accordingly if I am showing detail (tiny icons and such are imported at 96 DPI) or if I have an abnormally large screen shot (perhaps imported at 180 DPI or more) though I try to reduce the screens to the smallest native view before capturing them to avoid this.

Of course I still want the scren shot to print fine on my 600 dpi printer I always set the dpi upon import. Since FM shows the pixel dimensions and the resulting sizes for some standard dpi options, it's easy to calculate an appropriate dpi setting for the space available. I was taught that for best printing results, use a dpi setting that's evenly divisible into the printer dpi. So, for 600 dpi output, a setting of 120 or 150 dpi would be preferable to a setting of 135 dpi. If you have to change the scaling of an already-imported picture, be sure to do so using the Scaling controls in the Object Properties dialog, not the mouse. Resizing a bitmap graphic by dragging is a sure way to destroy the quality. If you're optimizing for a printer, not the screen, it's best to modify the dpi (using the rule of thumb I mentioned above) instead of the scaling percentage. HTH! Richard G.

X is shipping... Say what? When? And are they really going to call it X instead of 10? Mike Wickham I got my e-mail from Adobe about this sometime last week as I recall. I believe the shipping date is Nov 1, but forget where I saw that. And, I have no idea why it is X instead of 10. :) My only [usual] gripe is with the upgrade pricing (like all Adobe upgrades!). It is $199 regardless of whether you have Acrobat 9 Pro *or* Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to go to Acrobat X Pro (there is only one X Pro version - nothing called X Pro Extended as far as I can know). IMHO, the price for going from 9 Pro Extended to X Pro should be lower - since we already paid a premium for that 9 Pro Extended version!

Re: [OT] Adobe's pricing policy
Classification: SERCO-PUBLIC Not just Adobe. Regardless of exchange rates, it's always been the case that the dollar price is more or less the same numerical value as the sterling price. Thus anything costing $100 in the US costs £100 over here (which is sometimes twice the actual price). VAT (purchase tax) varies around Europe, but is 17.5% here in the UK and about to rise to 20%.

Hyptertext Links Break in PDF
Hi. I've looked up this issue online. A lot of the discussions I have found are about Frame 8 and later, but we are using FrameMaker 7.1b023 and Distiller 6.0.1 in Windows XP SP3. That's not going to change in time for this document. Problem: My coworker and I have **identical Distiller settings**. When she generates a PDF from one of her Frame source files using her Distiller, all the PDF hyperlinks work correctly. These hyperlinks are cross-references, TOC, LOT, LOF, and Index links in the original Frame document. When I send her one of my Frame documents, in which all the hyperlinks work correctly, and she generates a PDF from it, they are all broken in the PDF. I've checked the setup of the generated files in the TOC. All have create hyperlinks selected in the Setup box. (When I generate a PDF using my copy of Distiller, the links are also broken. So are the fonts, which is why I originally asked her to generate the PDF for me. . . ) Also, if it matters, when I print to .ps and select Generate Acrobat Data, the Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs box is selected. The links are still broken in the resulting PDF All of this strongly suggests that the problem lies in my FrameMaker source files. What can it be? Any suggestions gratefully received. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, Peter. ;-) By the way, the price ratio seems to be the same for other products too: the prices in the US store are 53 % of the prices in the European store! Hmmm, I'm wondering is there is anyone buying FrameMaker 9 Server in Europe, priced at 10746 EUR (14 967 USD). The price in the US store is 5685 EUR (7919 USD). I'm curious what the prices are in China or India, but they don't seem to have an online Adobe Store (yet).

Well, RoboHelp started getting wonky with regard to versions after 1999. Versions went: 7 2000 9 2002 X3 X4 X5 6 7 8 9 Notice two version 7s and two version 9s, each roughly 10 years apart. I've learned not to think on these things too hard. It hurts. Bill On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 4:59 PM, Layton, Debbie wrote: > How quaint. Roman Numerals for a software release.

Scale or change dpi to make a screen shot filt within printer margins
Change the import DPI. This will retain the image quality while reducing the size of the image by incorporating more dots per inch. So long as you don't exceed 600 DPI for the image, it will print just fine on your 600 DPI printer. If you resize the image, in a photo editor or some such application, you will be throwing away image information (pixels) and will be forcing the software to reinterpret the pixel order of the newly sized image, creating distortion/noise. Don't do that. ;-) I have a rule for print to standardize screen shots (native 96 DPI) at 150 DPI. It reduces the image enough to not hog page real estate but still makes the image easy to see. I adjust accordingly if I am showing detail (tiny icons and such are imported at 96 DPI) or if I have an abnormally large screen shot (perhaps imported at 180 DPI or more) though I try to reduce the screens to the smallest native view before capturing them to avoid this.

Since FM shows the pixel dimensions and the resulting sizes for some standard dpi options, it's easy to calculate an appropriate dpi setting for the space available. I was taught that for best printing results, use a dpi setting that's evenly divisible into the printer dpi. So, for 600 dpi output, a setting of 120 or 150 dpi would be preferable to a setting of 135 dpi. If you have to change the scaling of an already-imported picture, be sure to do so using the Scaling controls in the Object Properties dialog, not the mouse. Resizing a bitmap graphic by dragging is a sure way to destroy the quality. If you're optimizing for a printer, not the screen, it's best to modify the dpi (using the rule of thumb I mentioned above) instead of the scaling percentage. HTH! Richard G.

Hyptertext Links Break in PDF
Hi. I've looked up this issue online. A lot of the discussions I have found are about Frame 8 and later, but we are using FrameMaker 7.1b023 and Distiller 6.0.1 in Windows XP SP3. That's not going to change in time for this document. Problem: My coworker and I have **identical Distiller settings**. When she generates a PDF from one of her Frame source files using her Distiller, all the PDF hyperlinks work correctly. These hyperlinks are cross-references, TOC, LOT, LOF, and Index links in the original Frame document. When I send her one of my Frame documents, in which all the hyperlinks work correctly, and she generates a PDF from it, they are all broken in the PDF. I've checked the setup of the generated files in the TOC. All have "create hyperlinks" selected in the Setup box. (When I generate a PDF using my copy of Distiller, the links are also broken. So are the fonts, which is why I originally asked her to generate the PDF for me. . . ) Also, if it matters, when I print to .ps and select "Generate Acrobat Data", the "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs" box is selected. The links are still broken in the resulting PDF> All of this strongly suggests that the problem lies in my FrameMaker source files. What can it be? Any suggestions gratefully received.

It doesn't seem like your setups are identical at all. What does this mean: "When I send her one of my Frame documents, in which all the hyperlinks work correctly..." Esp. in light of: "When I generate a PDF using my copy of Distiller, the links are also broken" You need to start with what works and go from there.
