PowerPoint to Framemaker

[Flato, Gillian]

Anyone know a utility for converting PowerPoint slides with lots of graphics to 
FrameMaker, or something that can be imported into Frame?

Thank you,

RE: Conditional build question

[Flato, Gillian]

Sharon,

I never used Frame 9, but in Frame 10, if you select all of the files in the 
book, and then build  the conditional text settings, they set for the book 
level. If you build the expression on a chapter level, it's only for the 
chapter.

Thank you,

Subject: Conditional build question

I'm in Frame 9, fully patched.

I have a set of client files for 4 books. Some of the chapters are used in 3 or 
4 of the books. There is extensive use of conditions in all books to get the 
right output.

I want to use build expressions in each book to select the several include and 
exclude conditions each book needs. So here's the question: If I set a 
combination of conditions for all the files in Book1, is this build expression 
applied at the book level or at the chapter level?

If I apply a slightly different set of conditions to all the files in Book2, 
which has some of the files from Book1, what happens to the common files? What 
build expression set of conditions is applied when I generate each book?

Hi Everyone,

I want to be able to create a condition that will be visible in Framemaker, but 
is not passed to the PDF. So far, the only way I have been able to do this is 
by hiding the conditional text just prior to distilling the PDF.

I am fairly new to conditional text. Is this possible, or am I barking up the 
wrong tree?

Import PDF Comments doesn't seem to work

I did a shared review with Acrobat 10. When I open up the review file, I see 
all of the SME's comments. However, when I go to Frame and select Import  PDF

I am using Acrobat Pro X/ Frame X from within TCS v3.0.

Any suggestions?

Format  Document  Text Options

Clear the Smart Spaces checkbox, and you'll be able to add all the 
unnecessary spaces you want...  ;-)

Editing Variables in Frame 10

[Flato, Gillian]

Has anyone else noticed a bug in Frame 10 where you can't always edit your

Hi Gillian,



We are on Frame 9 and ran into this. We observed that if you undock the 
Add/Edit Variable dialog and have it float somewhere else on the desktop, you 
can edit the variable. Otherwise that dialog remains unresponsive.



Hope the same workaround applies to Frame 10. Good luck!

Use the condition builder with the Boolean expressions to build your own custom

FM 9 Version: 9.0p255

I've looked in the Adobe FM PDF and can't find the keyboard shortcuts I'm 
looking for...

Is there a way to select multiple Condition tags and apply them in one step?

And after you've selected and applied the set of multiple Condition tags once, 
is there a keyboard shortcut for repeat Condition tags (as Esc jj repeats 
the application of the last Paragraph tag)?

I have had to add a new Condition to my books which requires me to 
conditionalize a lot of text (and table insets) that were not previously marked 
with any Conditions. Needless to say, having to apply the same five Conditions 
over and over is time consuming and beyond tedious.

We just installed the Technical Communication Suite 3, which took me from Frame 
8 to 10 and simultaneously from Acrobat Pro 9 to 10.

I updated my document templates and tried to create a PDF, but most of the body 
text was replaced by a swirly symbol I have never seen before... Some of the 
headings did print, but not in the correct font (Arial Narrow shows up as 
something like Times).

We've checked fonts and various settings and preferences and cannot make it 
work!! Has anyone else had this problem?
Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,

RE: Converting Word doc to Frame.

When I've done in the past, after prepping the file with Word2Frame.pdf, I have

Subject: Converting Word doc to Frame.

I know I've seen this on the board before, but I can't find it.

I'm using Frame 9 on XP.

I'm moving some big docs from Word to Frame. I did all the preparation from 
word2frame.pdf, but that doc never says how to actually import the Word doc 
into the file with the Frame template I've prepared.

When I do bring the Word file over, everything marked Normal stays Normal. When 
I do a global update from Normal to Body, all the 'Normal' text becomes 
'*Body', but the font does not change to what I have for Body.  Then I have to 
go through one paragraph at a time and assign Default Font. So what's the point 
of Global Update?

Help?

Hi Framers,

Has anyone taken a gander at this product/service yet? I'm occasionally plagued 
by co-workers who want editable Word versions of docs I create in Frame. The 
Frame export to RTF leaves a whole lot to be desired and I'm wondering if this 
new thing will produce a better formatted RTF file. Anyone know what the 
limitations are? Does it choke on master pages and graphics?

Needless to say, the FAQs on the Adobe site aren't the questions I'd be 
asking.

Thanks.

One of my co-workers suggested using a similar service to convert some CAD

What I've been doing (with chapters of a huge book, in this case) is printing

they are using for review is NitroPDF Reader (free download) that provides the

 Native American Proverb

Mmmm, proverbs and quotes, I love them. Though I have to say, my version of the 
tech writer's proverb is:

Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement,
Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.

That which is well conceived is clearly said,
And the words to say it flow with ease.

Mmmm, proverbs and quotes, I love them. Though I have to say, my version of the 
tech writer's proverb is:

"Ce que l'on con?oit bien s'?nonce clairement,
Et les mots pour le dire arrivent ais?ment."

"That which is well conceived is clearly said,
And the words to say it flow with ease."

--Nicolas Boileau-Despr?aux (1636-1711)
  L'Art Po?tique (The Art of Poetry, 1674), Canto I, l. 153

RE: OFF-TOPIC: PC BIOS Screen Capture Software

[Flato, Gillian]

Thanks Andy. I think looking for the MFTR docs and cribbing screenshots is 
probably the best way to go. I did that with VMWare ESXi which installs in a 
DOS/BIOS type atmosphere. I found a PowerPoint presentation on VMWare's website 
which had beautiful screen captures. I cribbed most of them!

Thank you,

searching for one and trusting to run one on your computer is far from simple. 
Maybe contact the BIOS manufacturer (or look in their docs for images you can

RE: Frame Light, what's the potential market?

[Flato, Gillian]

It will never happen.

Adobe's solution is for you to give someone an edible PDF and have them comment 
in the PDF in sticky notes or mark the PDF using the advanced text editor 
tools. Then, with Acro 10, you can import their comments and changes into Frame 
and then accept or reject them through track  changes and conditions.

Subject: Re: Frame Light, what's the potential market?

I, too, have wished for the capability for more than 10 years and have 
requested it numerous times from Adobe.   This would be one way to bring back 
the Mac version--add FrameMaker lite to the App store.  I think a price point 
of $99 or less would be great.   There are too many of our clients that end up 
porting their documents back and forth from Word to FrameMaker.   This is due

I think it was a mistake for FrameMaker 10 not to include ePub output directly 
from FrameMaker.  I can output an ePub straight from InDesign or straight from 
Apple Pages, but I need the full TCS3 to output ePub through RoboHelp.

Here's hoping for a FrameMaker lite...

I had an interesting discussion with the Frame Product Manager a few days ago at
the London launch event for TCS3.  It seems there is the motivation to develop a
business case for 'Frame Light' which could be used by SMEs to create and review
content, but little else.

I work in an environment where I am the only Frame user (experimenting with 10
at the moment) in an organisation with over 100 SMEs producing content in Word.
Most do their own thing, or come to me to 'fix' or standardise stuff once it is
collected together.

So, I would want 'Frame Light' to allow content creation in structured or
unstructured format (including DITA one day), but that requires the content
provider to use only the pre-determined paragraph formats and a few text styles
(emphasis, bold, sub- and superscript); and insert images by reference.  I can
get around a need to define conditional text by using different paragraph format
names.  All this in templates that can only be developed or altered by full
license holders.

To support the development of a business case can you post what (other)
functionality you would want Frame Light to have, how many licenses you would
(ideally) want in your organisation, how many full Frame licenses you currently
have (for comparison purposes), how you would want FL delivered (local install,
web-based, floating licenses), and what you would want/need to pay for it to get
it accepted as an alternative to Whatever word processing your SMEs currently
use?

Creating more disciplined (structured), reusable, content which can be output
with a similar look and feel, and doesn't reinvent a wheel each time an SME puts
fingers to keyboard, is a concept which has almost reached its time in my
organisation. Others may be close, or even ahead, so there must be demand for
this.  Please let me know.

Frame Light, what's the potential market?

[Flato, Gillian]

It will never happen.

Adobe's solution is for you to give someone an edible PDF and have them comment 
in the PDF in sticky notes or mark the PDF using the advanced text editor 
tools. Then, with Acro 10, you can import their comments and changes into Frame 
and then accept or reject them through track  changes and conditions.

I, too, have wished for the capability for more than 10 years and have 
requested it numerous times from Adobe.   This would be one way to bring back 
the Mac version--add FrameMaker lite to the App store.  I think a price point 
of $99 or less would be great.   There are too many of our clients that end up 
porting their documents back and forth from Word to FrameMaker.   This is due 
to licensing costs, training, and Word just has better (and more easily used) 
functions for tracking and editing changes.

Off-Topic: Acrobat Shared Review

[Flato, Gillian]

Have any of you EVER been able to get Acrobat shared review feature to work?

Every time I get to the screen entitled, Decide How to Send the PDF File, I 
select my shared file, (which I make sure has permissions set to Everyone and 
is on a network drive) and then click Next. I always get the error message, 
The file destination provided is not valid. Enter a valid file location.

I've tried it with a local drive in a publically shared folder with permissions 
set to Everyone. Same error message. Also tried repairing Acrobat. No help, 
same error message. Does it even work at all? Has anyone ever had it to work or 
is it totally bogus?

RE: Off-Topic: Acrobat Shared Review

Richard,

I am using Acrobat 8 and Frame 8. If Acrobat 8 requires a Server application, 
then the wizard should specify that. The error message should state something 
useful like, Missing Server App Name of Server App

RJ - I took your suggestions and it still doesn't work. I moved the PDF to a 
local drive, set the file to be shared by everyone, gave everyone permissions 
to it, and I still get the same error message: The file destination provided is 
not valid. Enter a valid file location.

What version of Acrobat are you using? The last time I looked at shared 
(server-based) reviews, it required a special Acrobat server application (I 
think this was Acrobat 7; maybe 8). With Acro 9, that no longer seems to be 
necessary, but I'm OK with emailing comment-enabled PDFs to my few reviewers (I 
don't really need them to see each others' comments). 

In Acro 9, there's supposed to be a wizard to help you set this up. Knowing 
Adobe, the problem may be that they're not clear in explaining/describing what 
you need to do. But take a look at this: 

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS53DFBF0D-427E-46d1-829C-BBAED285F67D.w.html

It sure sounds like all you need is a network folder. But it's not clear if the 
PDF you want to share should be in that network folder as you step through the 
process or not. 

Of course, if you're using an older version of Acrobat...

Hi all,

At the tekom conference this past week RJ Jacquez of Adobe was providing some

While I can't say much about specifics that were on display there are updates 
to DITA, a lot of greater interface enhancements, and even a menu item titled 
S1000D in the application.

More to follow as we begin to get official approval on what can be said by the 
beta testers.

For more information on this, please keep an eye on RJ's Twitter account

Subject: SVN Diffs in FrameMaker

Hi all,


I have placed my FrameMaker documentation in a subversion repository.  I use
tortoise svn for my SVN client. Its working great. The one major draw back
is the inability to do binary diffs -- or so I thought. According to my sys
admin, SVN always does binary diffs but relies on the client to figure out
whats different and how to merge it.  TortoiseSVN has a dialog box where you
can tell it to use external diff program for different file types.  If any
diff programs exist for FrameMaker, I might be able to plug it in and use
it.  There are example scripts that do it for Word documents using Word’s
built in doffing functionality.


So what say you all? Does such a thing exist? Please note that in this case,
if a custom solution could be developed, I would definitely consider
purchasing it.


Sincerely,

Joseph Lorenzini

is the inability to do binary diffs -- or so I thought. According to my sys
admin, SVN always does binary diffs but relies on the client to figure out
whats different and how to merge it.  TortoiseSVN has a dialog box where you
can tell it to use external diff program for different file types.  If any
diff programs exist for FrameMaker, I might be able to plug it in and use
it.  There are example scripts that do it for Word documents using Word?s
built in doffing functionality.


So what say you all? Does such a thing exist? Please note that in this case,
if a custom solution could be developed, I would definitely consider
purchasing it.


Sincerely,

Joseph Lorenzini

   Date: Thursday, October 28, 2010, 10:03 AM Hi group
  
   Can someone please explain to me why Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (Full,
   no
   update) costs:
  
  - US $299 (216 EUR) when I buy it in the US Store
  http://bit.ly/aXhtLv
  - US $554 (401 EUR) when I buy it in a European Adobe Store
  - http://bit.ly/dtOSd3
  
   I called Customer Support in Belgium and the explanation they gave me
   was that the price in the US is lower because they don't have offer
   free support. But I don't need support!
  
   When I go to the Adobe store, a pop-up appears, telling me that I can
   have a live text chat with an Adobe Product Specialist to assiste me
   with my product selection. This is the result:
  
   Please hold as we route your chat to an Adobe Representative.
   Welcome to Adobe.com! My name is Darryl. May I assist you with your
   selection today?
   Darryl: Hello, how can I help you?
   Yves: I'd like to know why Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard costs
   $299 in the US
   Store and $554 in the Belgian Adobe Store? What's the reason for this
   HUGE difference in price?
   Darryl: We understand your concern. We want to make sure that we are
   giving our Customers the best products and at the right price.
   Darryl: Just so you know, there are many factors that decide pricing
   like 'the cost of doing business in each country' and the 'difference
   in the perceived value of the product'.
   Darryl: What are some of the tasks you like to accomplish using the
   software?
   Yves: Not relevant here: product is the same, price is different. Why?
   Darryl: Just so you know, there are many factors that decide pricing
   like 'the cost of doing business in each country' and the 'difference
   in the perceived value of the product'.
  
   Huh?

 I read one of Adobe's press releases that said Acrobat X

 In my opinion, if you have to explain how to pronounce a product  
 name, it
 isn't a good choice for a name. Let's just hope the next version  
 isn't XI.

FM9 Crash Conditional Formats

I meant the solution was turning off Network File Locking. Doh!

Hi all,

I use FM9 p255 under Windows XP

On accessing the Conditional Format pod by menu 
or by clicking the pod, FM crashes...

Today, at least 3 times!

Anyone else out there have the same problem?

Thx...I am not used to this! Just hired new tech 
writer - told her FM was stable...

Also note that the tricky bit with multiple people really isn't a problem, 
either, because the checked-out files you will be working with will typically 
be on your local drive rather than a network drive where other people could 
potentially be trying to use them simultaneously. And even if the multiple 
writers *do* for some reason keep their working directories on a network drive, 
each user will typically have *their own* working directory (their own set of 
checked-out copies) since that is how CMS systems are generally designed to be 
used. (The whole point of using a system like SVN for software development is 
to allow multiple developers to work independently on the same code base and 
resolve the differences at a later point in the development process.) So 
because there is no issue of multiple users sharing the *same* set of working 
files, there is still no need for the rudimentary Network File Locking scheme 
that FrameMaker provides.

RE: FM8 crashing upon showing all conditions.

[Flato, Gillian]

I had that problem a few months ago. Check the directory where the files are 
kept. Delete all of the lock files.
Before viewing all of the conditions, update your book. Delete any lock (*.lck) 
files, than view the conditions. That worked for me.

Thank you,

Subject: FM8 crashing upon showing all conditions.

Hello Everybody,
I'm really at a loss here.
I'm hoping someone can help.

I have a file (actually a few), which when I try to show all conditions crashes 
the entire FM book. It also crashes when I open the file on its own and try to 
show all conditions.
This usually happens with files that have a visio object embedded.
Or with my Revision History file which may have old revisions with x-refs that 
are no longer relevant.

Apart from driving me crazy, I'm having incredible trouble (trouble's not the 
word, I can't create PDFs this way) creating PDFs this way. My only alternative 
is to send the corrupted file to a co-worker, have them open the file and then 
save it with all conditions showing. (MIF wash does not help).

Any other ideas?
And yes, I've installed the Windows Hotfix - my IT fellow is at a loss too.

I'm running FM 8.277 from the

And unless the files are in a network directory (a situation that has its own 
set of gotchas) so that other users can potentially be using some of the same 
files at the same time as you are, you can safely set FrameMaker to stop 
generating all thoise *.lck files in the first place. Go to 
FilePreferencesGeneral and de-select the Network File Locking option. The 
primitive lock file mechanism provides such minimal protection in a shared 
directory working environment that IMO it isn't worth the hassle of having to 
clean up the left-over lock files if/when FrameMaker unexpectedly exits or 
has to quit, which seemingly happens fairly frequently when you are working 
on files that reside on a network drive.

word, I can't create PDFs this way) creating PDFs this way. My only alternative 
is to send the corrupted file to a co-worker, have them open the file and then 
save it with all conditions showing. (MIF wash does not help).

Any other ideas?
And yes, I've installed the Windows Hotfix - my IT fellow is at a loss too.

I'm running FM 8.277 from the

FM8 crashing upon showing all conditions.

[Flato, Gillian]

Fred is correct. I also did that and it stopped the problem. (I knew I was 
forgetting something - Thanks Fred!)

And unless the files are in a network directory (a situation that has its own 
set of gotchas) so that other users can potentially be using some of the same 
files at the same time as you are, you can safely set FrameMaker to stop 
generating all thoise *.lck files in the first place. Go to 
File>Preferences>General and de-select the Network File Locking option. The 
primitive lock file mechanism provides such minimal protection in a shared 
directory working environment that IMO it isn't worth the hassle of having to 
clean up the left-over lock files if/when FrameMaker "unexpectedly exits" or 
"has to quit", which seemingly happens fairly frequently when you are working 
on files that reside on a network drive.

RE: type vs enter

[Flato, Gillian]

Clint,

That can't be right. Telling Users to enter or type text is probably the 
command we use most frequently. Simplified English must have a way for 
instructing Users how to do it. Otherwise, simplified English is completely 
useless.

Thank you,

In Simplified Technical English, which has a strictly limited vocabulary

RE: SAving frame files with numbers at the end

[Flato, Gillian]

Frame doesn't crash though. What happens though is that the next time I go to 
save the file, Frame tells me it can't save the file because the file has a 
strange suffix.

Thank you,

SAving frame files with numbers at the end

[Flato, Gillian]

Frame doesn't crash though. What happens though is that the next time I go to 
save the file, Frame tells me it can't save the file because the file has a 
strange suffix.

Thank you,
?

Do you also see .recover files?

Seems like those are the result of Frame crashes.

Frame 8 bug

[Flato, Gillian]

I am using Frame 8p277 XP version

Many times when I have a book file open, I change  my  conditions globally, and 
then update my book. Randomly, Frame seems to create *.lck files, and these lck 
files cause Frame to crash. Anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thank you,

RE: Frame 8 bug

[Flato, Gillian]

I believe that when you update your book file, if lck files exist for chapter 
files, Frame crashes. There should only be an lck file for the book file, not 
the individual fm files within the book. I only have the book file open and am 
trying to set the conditions for it, yet all these lck files from the frame 
chapter files keep opening and then Frame gets the dreaded Internal Error bug 
and crashes.

Thank you,

The .lck file is created *every* time any file - book or .fm - is opened by 
FrameMaker.

This is to prevent multiple simultaneous opens of the same file from different 
sessions of FrameMaker (local or on the network) by you or others.

They should not *normally* cause FrameMaker to crash ... just prevent the file 
from being opened again.

Are you using these files on a network? If so, it is possible that they get 
left behind inadvertently when the file is closed and appear to cause problems.

Generally speaking, if you know that you are the only person opening the file, 
you can delete the .lck files and proceed without concern.

Or ... am I misinterpreting what you mean by cause Frame to crash?

RE: Frame 8 bug

[Flato, Gillian]

Actually, the bug is now happening when I click View  Show/Hide conditional 
text on the book level. And when I look in Explorer, two lck files are there 
for chapter files which are not open.

Thank you,
