icons on new Macs

2011-12-14 Thread Graeme R Forbes

Does anyone know how to get FM7 (and earlier) document icons to  
appear on the desktop on Macs without Classic? On my new intel iMac  
running Snow Leopard I see that the icons for some OS9 apps like  
PageMill appear correctly, but all I get for FrameMaker docs is an  
ugly generic icon.


Thanks,
Graeme Forbes

FW: Adding reference images to paragraph styles

2011-12-14 Thread Laura Fergusson

Many many thanks to all who took the time to reply, especially Roger and 
Bethany who went far beyond the call of duty!

As I was wanting to apply new template styles to an existing template, I had to 
keep the new styles as closely based on the original as possible, to reduce the 
amount of post-editing required. So I couldn't go for the table option here.

I ended up creating two styles - one, a CautionAnchor with size 2pt and -12pt 
below the paragraph. The other was Caution - which had -30pt above the 
paragraph. The only post editing required is then to add in the CautionAnchor 
before each caution.

Hope that makes some sense.

Happy Laura :)

Hi fellow Framers

I wonder if you can help.

I'm getting stuck on a particular style : Caution.

I've created a crude layout of how it should look:

I want to have an image, taken from the reference pages, to indicate a caution. 
When I apply the Caution style to some text, I want the image to appear as 
well, so all I have to do is add the specific text. I'm pretty sure this can be 
done as I used templates years ago which had this for the note, caution and 
warning styles.

I do not have any side heads in my master pages and the rest of my styles go 
right to the left margin. How do I get the image to appear as part of the 
style? I can get the line above and below, and the rest of the style ok, but 
not this part. Help!

Thanks in advance

Frame 9 - setting specific graphic sizes in dita xml jobs

2011-12-14 Thread Pattie Alsop

Hello all,

I'm relatively new to Frame 9.  I have worked in previous versions but that was 
quite a few years ago.

My problem is this:
DITA XML Job.

EDD has entries for Figure and Image tags.
Ex: Image ...
in all contexts
insert imported graphic file

My page layout is landscape, 3 columns, so when this file opens in Frame, the 
graphic  is cut off because it should display across the page, and not just in 
one column.

I need to be able to control the object properties(?) based on the image width 
attribute.
I have 3 different possible width values, 1 column, 2 column, and 3 columns 
wide.

How do I achieve that?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Pradipta,

 

Are you buying a PC version? If so, I would recommend that you buy version 8
if you can find it, or at least version 7.2. FrameMaker 8 is Unicode
compatible, which you may find useful. Please let me know if you have any
questions or comments. Thank you very much.

FrameMaker 7 for Mac, print to .ps, Distiller 6.

I am currently packaging a  book to be printed in bw using the same
workflow that I've used successfully on lots of other books in the past,
either bw or spot color.

Although I have applied all the processes used for previous books (reducing
photos to 8-bit grayscale, applying Illustrator's 'convert to grayscale'
filter to line art, making sure all included graphics are CMYK and not RGB),
I seem to be unable to remove information in the C, M and Y channels in the
press-ready PDF. The problem manifests itself with inserted photos and
drop-shadows on line art. In preflight, if the C, M and Y channels are
switched off, the photos look bad.

Rather than dump this problem on the printers, I'd like to resolve it here,
but I am out of ideas. Can anyone advise me?

Re: icons on new Macs

2011-12-14 Thread Scott Turner

Can't without an pperable copy of Frame. If you are running Frame in boot camp 
or a virtualization program then the icons might appear, otherwise you need to 
assign a system icon to the files. Candy Bar might work. It would require a 
little graphic work though.

Paragraph styles not importing correctly

2011-12-14 Thread Laura Fergusson

Hi all

I have created a template which contains two separate paragraph styles:
Caution and Warning.

The basic look and feel of the two styles is the same - lines above and below,
with an icon on the left as follows:
[cid:image005.png at 01CCBA53.8901CBF0]

All good so far. The template is fine, but when I Import All Formats from the
template into an existing file, BOTH Caution and Warning appear as Cautions.
That is to say, they LOOK the same (both say Caution and have a yellow icon),
even though they both are tagged correctly as Caution or Warning.
In other words, the Autonumbering for Warning is importing as the Autonumbering
for Caution: they BOTH say Caution: \t in the existing file.

Background info - in the template:

* The word CAUTION/WARNING is part of the relevant Caution/Warning
style, set up in the Autonumbering format as Caution:\t or Warning:\t
respectively. The small caps format is a Character style called "Caution" (used
for both Caution and Warning paragraph styles).

* The icons are on the reference pages as Caution and Warning
respectively.

* The line above and the icon are contained in a
CautionAnchor/WarningAnchor style - Paragraph Above is a single line (from ref
page), Paragraph below is the icon (taken from the reference pages). The Next
Paragraph is set to Caution/Warning as required.

* The line below is contained in the Caution/Warning style - Paragraph
Above is empty, ParagraphBelow is a single line.

I have tried importing into a completely blank document - same thing.
Have also tried deleting the existing Caution and Warning styles from the

Does anyone know what is going on? Is there a known issue with paragraph styles
not importing correctly? I have not seen this before in my many years of
Framemaker usage.
It is possible that I'm missing something

Many thanks

FW: Paragraph styles not importing correctly

2011-12-14 Thread Laura Fergusson

Since posting I have managed to solve this. It still seems odd that it didn't 
work the way I had it set up but I think I must have been going wrong somewhere.

I created a new Character style called  "Warning" identical to "Caution" and 
used it for the Warning small caps word. Once imported, that worked ok.

I reapplied the Warning icon to the WarningAnchor style and hey presto.

Sigh. The wonders of Frame.

Subject: Paragraph styles not importing correctly

Hi all

I have created a template which contains two separate paragraph styles:  
Caution and Warning.

The basic look and feel of the two styles is the same - lines above and below, 
with an icon on the left as follows:
[cid:image005.png at 01CCBA53.8901CBF0]

All good so far.  The template is fine, but when I Import All Formats from the 
template into an existing file, BOTH Caution and Warning appear as Cautions.
That is to say, they LOOK the same (both say Caution and have a yellow icon), 
even though they both are tagged correctly as Caution or Warning.
In other words, the Autonumbering for Warning is importing as the Autonumbering 
for Caution: they BOTH say Caution: \t in the existing file.

Background info - in the template:

* The word CAUTION/WARNING is part of the relevant Caution/Warning 
style, set up in the Autonumbering format as Caution:\t or Warning:\t 
respectively. The small caps format is a Character style called "Caution" (used 
for both Caution and Warning paragraph styles).

* The icons are on the reference pages as Caution and Warning 
respectively.

* The line above and the icon are contained in a 
CautionAnchor/WarningAnchor style - Paragraph Above is a single line (from ref 
page), Paragraph below is the icon (taken from the reference pages). The Next 
Paragraph is set to Caution/Warning as required.

* The line below is contained in the Caution/Warning style - Paragraph 
Above is empty, ParagraphBelow is a single line.


I have tried importing into a completely blank document - same thing.
Have also tried deleting the existing Caution and Warning styles from the 
existing document, then importing from the template - same thing.

Does anyone know what is going on? Is there a known issue with paragraph styles 
not importing correctly? I have not seen this before in my many years of 
Framemaker usage.
It is possible that I'm missing something

Many thanks

SGML, MIL-STD-38784

2011-12-14 Thread Ian Proudfoot

Hello Guy
I have developed several MIL-STD applications for FrameMaker.

If the requirement is to deliver only MIL-STD-38784 compliant SGML
instances, then the choice of editing software does include FrameMaker,
Arbortext and any other SGML aware application. If you also have to deliver
formatted output such as PDFs or even paper masters, then the choice is
slightly different. 

A FrameMaker SGML application for MIL-STD-38784 would give you a really nice
editing environment and top quality formatted output. However, that would
need to be developed for you by a suitably experienced FrameMaker developer.
I am not aware of any ready-to-run commercial 38784 FrameMaker applications.

With Arbortext the situation is different. The FOSIs that provide the
formatted output are freely available here:
https://pubsweb.redstone.army.mil/DTD-FOSI/38784-dtd.html 

Personally, I have used both, but would always choose FrameMaker over
Arbortext...

I hope this helps.

Best regards
Ian Proudfoot

Frame 9 - setting specific graphic sizes in dita xml jobs

2011-12-14 Thread Pattie Alsop

Hello all,

I'm relatively new to Frame 9.  I have worked in previous versions but that was 
quite a few years ago.

My problem is this:
DITA XML Job.

EDD has entries for Figure and Image tags.
Ex: Image ...
in all contexts
insert imported graphic file

My page layout is landscape, 3 columns, so when this file opens in Frame, the 
graphic  is cut off because it should display across the page, and not just in 
one column.

I need to be able to control the object properties(?) based on the image width 
attribute.
I have 3 different possible width values, 1 column, 2 column, and 3 columns 
wide.

How do I achieve that?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

-Pattie

Framemaker Version 7.0 (used)

2011-12-14 Thread Rick Quatro

Hi Pradipta,



Are you buying a PC version? If so, I would recommend that you buy version 8
if you can find it, or at least version 7.2. FrameMaker 8 is Unicode
compatible, which you may find useful. Please let me know if you have any
questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Removing extraneous color channel information

2011-12-14 Thread David Creamer

Where did you create the drop shadows? In AI?
What format did you save the AI files as?
What were your PDF settings?
What version of Acrobat Pro do you have?
(I noticed you are using Distiller 6--is your Acrobat the same version?)

Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

FrameMaker 7 for Mac, print to .ps, Distiller 6.

I am currently packaging a  book to be printed in b using the same
workflow that I've used successfully on lots of other books in the past,
either b or spot color.

Although I have applied all the processes used for previous books (reducing
photos to 8-bit grayscale, applying Illustrator's 'convert to grayscale'
filter to line art, making sure all included graphics are CMYK and not RGB),
I seem to be unable to remove information in the C, M and Y channels in the
press-ready PDF. The problem manifests itself with inserted photos and
drop-shadows on line art. In preflight, if the C, M and Y channels are
switched off, the photos look bad.

Rather than dump this problem on the printers, I'd like to resolve it here,
but I am out of ideas. Can anyone advise me?

icons on new Macs

2011-12-14 Thread Scott Turner

Can't without an pperable copy of Frame. If you are running Frame in boot camp 
or a virtualization program then the icons might appear, otherwise you need to 
assign a system icon to the files. Candy Bar might work. It would require a 
little graphic work though.

SGML, MIL-STD-38784

2011-12-14 Thread Hassen, Vincen D CTR USAF AFMC OC-ALC/GKBLC

With Arbortext, you would need to ensure you purchased Arbortext Print
Composer or "Arbortext Advanced Print Publisher" as I think it is now
called.  

Arbortext Editor alone will not provide the required PDF output.
