Hello,

I am trying to apply the 10.0.2 fix to 10.0.1.408 French version. The
process finishes by saying that the update is complete. However, when I open
FM it still is 10.0.1.408. Any ideas?

 My appologies, I didn't take the time to find the original poster of 
 this request.

 I would have a few feature requests, but first some info on how we use
 Frame:

 We've got Frame set up with unstructured templates (even though we all 
 have had DITA experience) and we use RoboHelp to convert 8 books into 
 one single online help system.

 Some of the larger issues I run into all the time:

 Big irritation that I have, is that the variables are and have been a 
 struggle to work with.  Individual writers (over time with writers 
 coming and going) set up variables for their book, because, hey, it 
 sounds like a logical and good idea. But when we bring multiple books 
 together, I have no good way to manage the variables.  My advice to 
 several writers has been to not use variables at all in favor of using 
 the global search and replace functionality.  So I'd say either remove 
 variables from Frame or put some effort into making them worth using. 
 Interleaf used to do such a stand up job with variables.

 Other features that would be excellent to me would be things that 
 focus on being able to globally manage paragraphs, characters, master 
 pages, variables, table types, conditional values, graphics settings, 
 anchored frame settings, and markers.  Seems like every release I end 
 up having to troll through 10-20 different books making macro-level 
 changes through each of the supporting files.

 Let's see and another pain in the backside has been finding and 
 removing paragraph or character styles that are applied but no longer 
 used.  We did extensive template clean-up 3 releases ago, but are 
 still finding interesting settings that deviate from the current 
 template.  Even after we believe we have applied the paragraph style, the old 
 thing still hangs on.
 I've had to apply paragraph styles, then apply default character 
 style, then re-apply paragraph style before things stick.

 Integration with RoboHelp is a whole other set of grumblings.

 Thanks and I hope this might help in some small way.

Sorry, Rob, but you're a little off base on this one. What FrameMaker tells you 
is not that the font has changed, but instead is that the font *information* 
has changed. It only tells you this when the font metadata--specifically the 
font metrics information that comes from the Windows printer driver--has 
changed when you change to a different printer, and therefore a different 
driver with its own font metrics data. Admittedly, the differences in metrics 
data (high-precision dimensions for each glyph and for inter-glyph spacing) are 
small and subtle, but they can add up to enought that some text lines that are 
very close to the maximum line length may need to break differently. And a line 
break changing can potentially cause the length of the paragraph to change. And 
a change in the length of a paragraph can potentially cause a difference in how 
that page (and all subsequent pages in the chapter) breaks. Anyone who has 
opened a precisely laid out Word document to another computer only to find 
mangled tables, page breaks in the wrong places, and a different page count for 
the document will understand that a change in font metrics *can* affect the 
document, and will appreciate that FrameMaker at least warns you about the 
possibility.
 
Adobe did make one major improvement in regard to the changed font metrics 
issue a few releases back, when they allowed FrameMaker to set its own default 
printer independent of the Windows default printer. If you always use this 
default printer (e.g., Adobe PDF) and never change to a different printer 
driver (e.g., making a PDF that you then print from Acrobat when you need a 
hard copy rather than sending the document directly to the printer from 
FrameMaker), you will never again be b othered by the font information has 
changed warning message.

Running page header/footer spacin question

2012-05-08 Thread Ken Poshedly

Gang and Other Frame-anistas!

We here are considering modifying the page headers in our tech manuals to state 
the current topic level 1 headings as they progress through a chapter. 
Currently, the page headers are set up as follows:
* The product name (as a variable) is placed towards the gutter.
* The manual chapter title is keyed in and manually spaced (via the 
spacebar) 
at the page outer edge.
Simple, elegant, but not what I think is most helpful to the customer.

With the chapter title already stated in the thumb-tab located vertically along 
the page edge, I wish to change things a bit and set up a running page header 
that does the following:

* Correctly displays the product name  (at the gutter)
* Correctly displays the next available topic level 1 (at the page 
outer edge).
* Correctly spaces those two elements no matter what the length of the 
topic 
level 1 text (the product name text will remain consistent throughout the book).
Is this possible? 


I tried setting up a separate running header as a separate variable definition 
that includes the chapter title paragraph tag followed by a comma followed by 
the paragraph tag for the topic level 1 heading (all inside their respective 
brackets, etc), as shown below:

$paratext[Chapter Title, Topic level 1]

Using a manual for an SCC8300 Crawler Crane and a sample chapter titled 
Assembly, this correctly results in the following:

* First page (a right-hand page which includes the chapter TOC) with a 
page 
header that includes SCC8300 Crawler Crane aligned at the page gutter and 
Assembly (as per the chapter title paragraph tag) aligned at the page outer 
right edge.
* Second page (a left-hand page which begins with the text, images, 
etc) with a 
page header that includes SCC8300 Crawler Crane aligned at the page gutter 
and 
General Maintenance (as per the first topic level 1 paragraph tag) aligned at 
the page outer left edge.But the next topic level 1 heading is Lubricants, 
Coolants and Filters, which displays only with the word Lubricants 
displaying 
at the page outer edge (and the remaining words obviously not visible).

I know the simple answer is to kill the product name from the header, but for 
the time being, we are tied to including the product name in the page header 
along with whatever else will be there.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Kapil Verma, the FrameMaker product manager who asked for
feature requests on the Adobe forum, is obviously also a subscriber

Therefore I am sure that he monitors this list and reads the feature

level 1 text (the product name text will remain consistent throughout the book).
Is this possible? 


I tried setting up a separate running header as a separate variable definition 
that includes the chapter title paragraph tag followed by a comma followed by 
the paragraph tag for the topic level 1 heading (all inside their respective 
brackets, etc), as shown below:

<$paratext[Chapter Title, Topic level 1]>

Using a manual for an SCC8300 Crawler Crane and a sample chapter titled 
"Assembly", this correctly results in the following:

* First page (a right-hand page which includes the chapter TOC) with a 
page 
header that includes "SCC8300 Crawler Crane" aligned at the page gutter and 
"Assembly" (as per the chapter title paragraph tag) aligned at the page outer 
right edge.
* Second page (a left-hand page which begins with the text, images, 
etc) with a 
page header that includes "SCC8300 Crawler Crane" aligned at the page gutter 
and 
"General Maintenance" (as per the first topic level 1 paragraph tag) aligned at 
the page outer left edge.But the next topic level 1 heading is "Lubricants, 
Coolants and Filters", which displays only with the word "Lubricants" 
displaying 
at the page outer edge (and the remaining words obviously not visible).

I know the simple answer is to kill the product name from the header, but for 
the time being, we are tied to including the product name in the page header 
along with whatever else will be there.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to embed a webpage in FM?

2012-05-08 Thread John Turnbull

Some applications -- XMetaL is an example -- allow a developer to place 
a browser in a side-panel, and to interact with the API through scripts 
that are placed within the webpage.

Is this possible in FM?

Is it possible to embed a webpage in FM?

2012-05-08 Thread Scott Prentice

Never seen it but theoretically possible. Would be a bit of work though. I've 
considered trying to integrate AIR with the FDK which might be one way to do 
this. Other options are possible.
