Hi Lin,

No. Kapil Verma did not mention specific bugs. Only that
a large number of bugs was fixed.
Maybe you ask him yourself.

Do you happen to recall if they fixed the bug that affected text searchability

FM server to publish PDF as web service

DITA conversion and cross-ref IDs

[rebecca officer]

Hi everyone

We're currently in the process of converting from Unstructured FrameMaker files 
to DITA using FrameMaker 11. 
The engineer who's working on the conversion has a question about 
cross-references. When he structures the document using the conversion table, 
he'd like to be able to save the Idref value for the cross-reference as an 
attribute in the element it is wrapped in. At the moment, when he structures 
the document, all he can manage is to wrap the text in a  element.

If anyone's got any ideas about how to do this - or about how else to avoid 
having to manually re-create thousands of cross-refs - I'd be really grateful! 
The engineer's happy with scripting, esp Python, so it doesn't have to be a 
purely FM solution.

Thanks very much,
Rebecca

DITA conversion and cross-ref IDs

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Rebecca

I agree with Scott and Jeremy:

? If you want to use conversion tables, then Scott's FM2DITA plugin will
definitely help.
? If you have MIF2Go, then most of the cross-references will "just work".
Read chapter 15.10 "Configuring cross references and links for DITA" in the
MIF2Go Help:

Sometime last year when Frame 11 came out, there were any number of e-mails 
that dealt with (or had links to) what was new in the product.

We are currently looking at whether to move our tech doc team from Frame 9 to 
Frame 11 - given that when Frame 12 comes out, we'd have to buy completely new 
copies rather than go the update route.

I've looked in my archive and can't find the threads that discussed this. Can 
anyone point me in the right direction?

Note that I am interested in details regarding unstructured Frame. I also 
realize that there are any number of changes from Frame 10 that may be useful 
to us as well.

That's just one of hundreds of problems you will have
trying to use the conversion table method.  It's grossly
inadequate.  Links, graphics, tables... it's a long list.

Um, you already *have* Mif2Go.  We spent quite a few
engineer-years working with DITA TC members on many
large conversion projects (including IBM's) to get it
right.  And to make it as easy as possible.  This has
actually become the second-biggest use case for Mif2Go
(the biggest is still conversion to Word).  Save
yourself a BIG bundle of time and money, and use it.

Hi Rebecca

I agree with Scott and Jeremy:

• If you want to use conversion tables, then Scott's FM2DITA plugin will
definitely help.
• If you have MIF2Go, then most of the cross-references will "just work".
Read chapter 15.10 "Configuring cross references and links for DITA" in the
MIF2Go Help:

Re: Frame 11 (UNstructured Features)

[Shmuel Wolfson]

  
  
I also upgraded from 9 to 11. The
  improvements that were important to me were:
  
  - Red squiggly lines under misspelled words. That's a big time
  saver for me. I don't have to keep running spellchecks, and it
  allows me to work with the document at a smaller view size and not
  be concerned about misspelled words. Without the red squiggly
  lines I would have to work with documents at a larger view size in
  order to reread it carefully.
  
  - Memory of that last five search terms. It seems like a small
  thing, but it makes it easier to work.   
  
  - Built-in ExtendScript. 
  
  At $600 dollars a copy, it is a hard decision. Many free text
  editors have the first two features I mentioned. It's a shame we
  have to pay so much for an upgrade for features we should have had
  a long time ago.
  
  If I would be working freelance, I think I would learn LaTex
  instead of paying the high price of these upgrades.
