FrameMaker (dita) and SVN

[Lief Erickson]

I've also used TortoiseSVN for years without any issues. The local files 
wouldn't be out of sync with the repository unless unversioned files that had 
been created (but not added to SVN) were not committed (i.e., you have local 
files the repository doesn't know about) or you had failed to update from the 
repository (the repository has files [or versions of files] your local system 
doesn't). I've never had issues with local files not getting committed to the 
repository; and that includes working in the same building as the repository as 
well as connecting through a VPN from thousands of miles away.

To Steve's point about the icons being out of sync, I have seen this from time 
to time. Rather than doing a commit, one could do a SVN Cleanup where you 
refresh the shell overlay icons.

to my surprise, it seems that it is not possible to make columns conditional, 
only rows. Is this correct? it's stymied a Cunning Plan I had. Partially.

the review PDF is created if you hope to merge comments back into it later.

Hi Deanna
First, they released Acrobat XI today or yesterday, so you'll likely be doing 
your work with XI instead of X.

Next, you'll need Acrobat Pro on the machine producing the PDF, and from there 
you can initiate reviews with your team using anything from Reader (9 or above) 
to Acrobat Pro (9 or above). If I recall correctly, this has been true since 
Acrobat 5 or so.

I have successfully run reviews with this setup and then  migrated comments 
back into the FM document (FM 10 and 11) with the supplied workflow, which is a 
fraction of the effort required to manually apply changes to the original FM 
document.

Hi,

We are migrating from FrameMaker 7.2 to FrameMaker 11. In our current workflow, 
we create a PDF file and use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional to enable 
commenting in it so that reviewers who don't have FrameMaker can electronically 
review and comment on our FrameMaker documents. We then merge the electronic 
comments into the PDF file and manually change the FrameMaker files accordingly.

For FrameMaker 11, Adobe advertises, Collaborate with PDF-based roundtrip 
reviews. I've searched, but I can't find how these types of reviews are 
implemented. Can you briefly explain how this feature works? Mainly I want to 
know if we need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional X to retain our ability 
to solicit electronic reviews from reviewers who don't have FrameMaker or if 
the need for Acrobat Professional is eliminated by this feature in FrameMaker 
11.

Thanks,

Deanna.

RE: removing condition tags across book?

[Lief Erickson]

What version of FrameMaker are you using? There used to be a plugin called 
CleanImport will do what you want. It's $15, but does not work with FrameMaker 
v10. 

http://www.electropubs.com/ez_cleanimport3.html

Also, I'm sure Rick Quatro has a FrameScript that could do this. Perhaps 
there's and ExtendScript that could do it too.

RE: PDF Shared Review problems

[Lief Erickson]

Hi Richard--

I'm not going to be much help, but are sure the comments are gone? All 
reviewers when they open a shared review PDF have a .xml file created for them 
in the PDF's comments directory on the shared review server. You could look in 
that file to see if the comments are truly gone or if it's another problem. If 
the comments are not in that file, then they're gone. If they are, then it's a 
different issue (not that I know what it would be). 

If your PDF is called Chapter1_review.pdf you'll have a corresponding folder 
that's something like: Chapter1_review.pdf_f377ba938213ad932kdaf9321929dekli74. 
It's in this folder where the reviewers comments stored in an XML file specific 
to each reviewer.

Professional SP1 32-bit  with 4 GB Memory, Xeon 2.53 GHz processor, 
graphics card is a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 (2 GB) running two 20 widescreen 
monitors.

I author in FM 9.0p255 then create a PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 9.4.5 
and send the PDF out for shared review on internal network public server. 
The PDF shared review process has been working great for, hmm, a year or 
more (I got TCS2 soon after it was released). 

Recently, I've been having problems with new comments not posting even 
after author's selected Publish Comments. 

This morning I'm missing comments that I know were successfully posted in 
the share reviewed PDF yesterday.

Asking reviewers to update their version of Acrobat 8 and higher (Open 
Acrobat and perform Help  Check for updates...  then installing any 
updates) fixes the new comments not posting problem. However, after 
updating, reviewers get upset when I also ask them to redo their comments. 


Not seeing comments that I know were there previously scares me.

This is all a bit odd, since PDF shared review has behaved perfectly until 
recently. Even when I went from XP to Win7 on a new computer a few months 
back, PDF shared review continued to work great. 

Since having the reviewers Help  Check for updates... in their copy of 
Acrobat 8+  seems to fix posting new comments, I suspect some recent Adobe 
or Windows upgrade changed the playing field, so to speak. 

Anyone else seeing problems like mine? What do you think the problem is?

to Mexican normas, and the other chapters have x-refs to those Mexican
safety regs listed there.

So, for instance, the Replace Group would include the following:

OSHA Crane Safety Quick Card
Equipo suspendido de acceso

The find-and-replace looks for all of the x-ref markers to OSHA crane
safety and replaces them with x-refs to Equipo suspendido.

When I work on a manual going to Mexico, I pull out the standard U.S.
Ch. 12 and put the standard MX Ch. 12 into the book instead. When I do
this, the x-refs in Ch. 2, for instance, are broken because they're
looking for the normal OSHA refs in Ch. 12. 

Perhaps I've been complicating my life unnecessarily, but what I've been
doing, as I come to an x-ref in Ch. 2 that would normally point to an
item in the U.S. Ch. 12, is change it to the appropriate Spanish x-ref
for the Mexican Ch. 12. Automating that process of fixing the x-refs to
point to the appropriate resource seems like a more sensible way to go.

So the problem is that the replaced x-refs have the aformentioned font
issue when opened in FM 9.

Does that make things clearer?

not. :-}

Frame Characters -- Search and Replace

[Lief Erickson]

Since you're working in FM9, have you considered putting both files into your 
book, then excluding/including the file you want and making two xrefs in Chp. 
2?

Ah, let me clarify:

In my normal manuals, we have a chapter containing OSHA safety

In my Mexican manuals, the "Regional Safety References" chapter alludes
to Mexican "normas," and the other chapters have x-refs to those Mexican

RE: Formatting of multi-marker indexes...

[Lief Erickson]

IndexIX -- $autorange$pagenum
IndexTableIX -- $autorange$pagenumt
IndexFigureIX -- $autorange$pagenumff

All of them have a Hyperlink character tag assigned to them so the page numbers 
are blue. Notice the t and ff and the end of the Table and Figure entries. 
This is automatically added after the page numbers. 

But, I understand that you want the text entry itself to have formatting. I'm 
not sure how to help there, but the above way is how I use a multi-marker index 
(which, by the way, ePublisher does not support).

Hi Richard...

Thanks for the very detailed explanation. I should have provided a bit 
more info on this. I do understand how indexes are formatted and 
generated, but what I was hoping for was that there was some way to 
assign unique IX reference flows to each marker type and in some way 
have this assign different LevelNIX para tags .. I assumed this wasn't 
possible, and it sounds like this is the case. I was hoping to avoid 
manually assigning character formatting to each entry.

Frank's semi-automated approach to adding the character formatting is 
interesting, but it would be great if this could be done based on marker 
type to reference page mapping.

Cheers,

...scott

 If you create an index from multiple marker types, is there a way to

 formatting for the OtherIndex markers?

 I'm thinking the answer is no .. but wanted to check with y'all.
 

 It's not clear what you want to format. But in any case, you don't assign 
 reference pages to anything. If you create an index, a text box containing 
 the IX flow is created on a reference page (which by default is also named 
 IX). The contents of the IX flow specify how the index is generated, ordered, 
 and formatted. 

 The IndexIX paragraph, which typically contains $pagenum, tells FM to 
 include page-number references to markers of type Index. You can include 
 another marker type in your index by creating a pgf like IndexIX, but named 
 after the second marker type, e.g., OtherIndexIX. It can be formatted 
 differently -- for instance, you could make it bold or italic -- but that 
 formatting will be applied only to the page number. 

 The Level1IX, Level2IX, etc., pgf formats are used for the index entries at 
 those levels. So every 1st-level index entry will have the same pgf format, 
 whether it's from an Index marker or an OtherIndex marker. 

 If you want the text for an OtherIndex entry formatted differently, the 
 solution is simple. But you have to do it in the marker text when you create 
 the OtherIndex marker. You can include character formats, enclosed in angle 
 brackets, in the marker text. For instance, let's say you have a char format 
 named Other that formats the text the way you want the OtherIndex entries to 
 look. To create an entry for configuration, put this in the marker text: 

   OtherconfigurationDefault Para Font

 These things, and a lot more that you can do, are reasonably well explained 
 in the help/manual under Tables of Contents and Indexes. 

 HTH!

RE: Indexing front matter

[Lief Erickson]

You could use a different marker for the content in your preface, include that 
marker in your index, and use different page formatting for that marker. It 
would be a new marker type that you would create. You might call it 
IndexPreface or something like that.

I have done something similar with tables and figures. In my index tables and 
figures are formatted differently so that they are more easily identifiable as 
content in a table or a figure rather than in body text.

Hi, all.

My manuals use chapter numbering, so an index entry for page 3 of chapter 5 
comes out like this:

Apple pie recipe, 5-3

The front matter has roman numerals with no prefixes, so a reference to 
Technical Support in the Preface should look like this:

Technical Support, xiii

However, because the Index marker set up on the Reference page assumes there is 
a chapter number prefix for every entry, the Technical Reference Support looks 
like this:

4-xiii, or 1-xiii, or 0-xiii

depending on how I set the numbering property.

I know I could solve the problem by moving to straight-through numbering, or by 
moving the Tech Support information to some other location in a regular 
chapter, but there are problems with both these solutions. Right now, I want to 
stick with figuring out how to use Frame correctly to create the entry I want, 
which would be

Tech Support, xiii

I know how to set up a new IX format in the Reference page of the Index, which 
would use only the $pagenum variable.

What I can't figure out is, how do I assign that format to the Preface entry 
only? 

Thanks for all suggestions.

When I open a FM9 book and chapters created on my old 32-bit machine I
can work on it as usual, but when I save the book, FM crashes.
I have reproduced it to the point where simply opening the book file and

RE: FM 9 crashes when I try to save .book file with changes on Windows 7 64-bit

[Lief Erickson]

I would suggest uninstalling your plugins and then trying your book. I had a 
case a couple of months ago where FrameMaker would crash when I closed the 
application (although I could save files and books just fine). I was able to 
isolate it as very old plugin (~2000) that wasn't designed to run on Windows 7 
(even though I'm using 32-bit Windows 7).

Even though I use many of the same plugins you listed, I'd suggest starting 
with a plugin-free installation and add them one-by-one to see if it's a 
plugin. 

Good luck, John, and post up your results,

RE: Footnote color

[Lief Erickson]

Do you want the color applied universally to all footnotes through a template 
or do you want each footnote to have its own color?

To apply color to all footnotes, simply change the color of your Footnote tag 
in your template. You could also apply color on a one-off basis, but that 
creates paragraph overrides -- something most FrameMaker users usually want to 
avoid.

To apply color to the Footnote number, I think you'll need to create a 
Character tag that is the color that you want and apply that Character tag to 
the number.

RE: Footnote color

[Lief Erickson]

Ah, that wasn't clear to me that he wanted just the number in the footnote. I 
thought he wanted the entire footnote and the number in the text.

Hmmm. Yeah, I don't know how you'd color just the number in the footnote 
itself, unless you want a hack way to do it.

I could imagine that you could make the default Footnote paragraph tag the 
color that you want, then use a Character tag (called Black that is set to 
As-Is except for the color) to change the paragraph color back to black. Be 
sure there is a space at the end of your footnote that you do not select and 
include when applying your Character tag though.

Like I said, it's a bit of a hack, but does get you a colored number and black 
text in your footnotes.

Hello Lief

The issue is, though, that you can't access the footnote number alone, since 
it's not defined in the footnote paragraph format. Any changes to the paragraph 
format are applied to the whole footnote, not just the number. As far as I can 
see, there is no way to format the number differently from the text. This 
appears to be so whether you are using structured or unstructured documents. 
I'd be happy to be proved wrong...

RE: FM 9 and the Pending Marker

[Lief Erickson]

I imagine it's a marker you create on your own. I've never seen a Pending 
marker in the 12 years I've used FrameMaker. I'm currently using v9. So, like 
Bill said, you'd have to create your own (and import/add it to all of your 
files).

Instead of using markers, I have used conditional text to accomplish what the 
author has suggested. I created Draft tag. That allowed me to show/hide text 
until it had been approved. Of course, there's no reason both methods couldn't 
be used together. I like the idea of being able to create a List of Markers and 
jump to it and  like the idea of being able to hide unapproved draft text. The 
List of Markers certainly makes it easier to jump to a spot than searching for 
a conditional text tag.

 The problem is, Pending doesn't seem to be one of the Markers available in

 the latest versions of Frame?

No idea, and I don't have FM9 at my present location to check (it's

You can find all of the keyboard shortcuts for FM9 here:

Subject: FM9 - closing pods

Hi folks--

Is there a keyboard method to close pods??To return them to the doc?? 

Count me in the long list of people with mixed feelings about FM9.
I'm a long-time FM user who dropped offlist a few years ago; I'm back now that 
we finally got budgeted for an upgrade...big change.  I love some of the new 
features.? I'm upset about the increasing reliance on the mouse -- it's much 
easier on my hands to use keyboard commands than mouse.? And admittedly I'm in 
my first day using it but... geez, did they *really* eliminate that may of the 
escape sequences!?  

Thanks all,
Mary

RE: Utility for Book-Level Searches for Tracked Text Edits

[Lief Erickson]

If you are using Special  Track Text Edits, there is no change bar 
automatically. You must have change bars turned on, too. That's two things to 
turn on/off/clear. With lots of files that quickly becomes a hassle.

Special  Track Text Edits uses two hidden conditional text settings to show 
what was added or deleted. This has no change bar. And you can't search for 
these using Find, but you can locate them with the Track Edit tool bar or using 
this shortcut Esc s t n.

Format  Document  Change Bars shows that something on the line changed, but 
isn't specific about what changed. Can be searched for using the Find dialog 
though.

Pick your poison.

 I don't use the tracked changes, but I think it creates change bars. If
 so, you should be able to do a book-level search for the change bars.

RE: problems with long URLs in PDFs

[Lief Erickson]

Hi Jakob--

When you add the URL in FrameMaker are you then adding a Go to URL Hypertext 
marker through Special  Hypertext  Go to URL? If you do that, then apply a 
character tag to the text, the link should work, even if it breaks across lines 
because it is the character tag that becomes the link. I've never add any 
problems with any URLs I've added using Special  Hypertext. I've never relied 
on Acrobat to create my URL links for me, so I can't comment on that. 

If you are using Special  Hypertext, have you tried adding   around URLs 
with special characters?

RE: Relative Path Problem for Linked Graphics

[Lief Erickson]

There's a plug-in out there that will solve this problem quite quickly. It's 
called XtraBookUtils. It will scan your document, spit out the paths to your 
files, then you can use Search/Replace to change the paths, then apply the 
changes. I've used it many times and it's saved me hours of effort.

Alison,

If I understand your situation correctly, all you need to do is use the
Open All Files in Book commend from the File Menu (Shift + Open). When
you receive the Can't find the Graphic dialog, just navigate to the
new graphic directory and click on the correct file. Make sure that
update to New Path is checked, then hit OK. FM should automatically
find all of the remaining graphics in the new directory. Then just Save
ALL.

I received a set of Spanish files back from my LSP today and as I was
making some adjustments within the files (I do the final format tweaking

The FM files sit directly above my Graphics (Linked) directory (which

now another directory above Graphics (Linked) entitled FM

instead of

Is there a simple way I can get rid of the FM in the relative path (I

RE: Keyboard shortcut control for inserting a variable?

[Lief Erickson]

Ctrl+0.
Type the first letter of your variable.
Arrow down, if necessary.
Press Enter.

Smile that entering a variable is really quite easy.

Subject: Keyboard shortcut control for inserting a variable?

All,

 

The name of the application for which I am currently developing a manual is
a hideous mix of upper and  lower case letters and numbers. (Marketing
really outdid themselves on this one.) Obviously, it's a PITA to type this
creature every time I need to use it , so I set it up as a variable and have
been inserting it when needed. Of course, the Special  Variable  option
requires me to scroll through a list of variables to find the one that I
want and that's not that efficient either.

 

Deep in the fuzzy recesses of my  mind,  I remember something about a nifty
little keyboard shortcut to use to insert a variable (compliments of Fred
Ridder or John Posada or Richard Combs - one of you FM gurus out there!) I
remember something about the list appearing in the bottom tray of the FM
window and you used this keyboard command to scroll through the list
onscreen and select the one that you want - does this even sound close or
right to what I remember?

 

Anyway, if y'all have the answer, it would be much appreciated.

RE: Problems with updating unresolved internal xrefs in FrameMaker 7.2p158

[Lief Erickson]

Hi Linda--

Are any of the references to text that is hidden? If so, the x-ref will appear 
to be broken. It will resolve just fine when the text is showing, but as soon 
as you hide destination, the x-ref becomes unresolved. The solution is to 
either unhide the hidden text, or, more logically, hide the unresolved x-ref, 
since the text it is linking to is already hidden.

Can someone on this list possibly explain why suddenly I'm not able to update 
unresolved internal cross-references with this version of FrameMaker? I can 
find unresolved external cross-referneces to other chapters, but not unresolved 
internal cross-references. As a result, I can't update a book file. All the 
chapters are open, of course. I'm using conditional text to generate two 
different versions of a book. 



Any suggestions would be appreciated, except telling me I need to upgrade 
FrameMaker. That's not an option for me. 



Thanks much for your help.

Blurry vector/raster images in PDF

[Lief Erickson]

Hi All-

I have an image that is partially blurry in Acrobat. The image is a mix of 
vector and raster. I have created an Illustrator CS4 drawing and I'm trying to 
so how certain dialogs in our application affect the computer on which the 
application runs. Portions of the computer are represented as vector drawings 
and I have placed screen captures (.png from SnagIt), which are the raster 
portions.

Here's what's intriguing:


1.   Save As PDF from Illustrator, the resulting PDF is clear for both the 
vector and raster portions. Why is this clear? So I know it's possible to get a 
clear combined vector/raster image.

2.   Import the Illustrator file into FrameMaker and print, the raster 
portion is completely blurry, but the vector portion is crisp. Why is the 
vector clear, but the raster is blurry?

3.   Import that crisp PDF from Illustrator into FrameMaker and print to 
file, the raster portion is completely blurry, but the vector portion is crisp. 
(This doesn't surprise me because FrameMaker really imports the PDF preview of 
the .ai file.)

This lead me to believe that it's a compression setting in my Acrobat PDF 
printer, or something that FrameMaker may be doing to the file. I've tried 
changing various image compression settings in my Adobe PDF printer, but 
nothing has worked. Any hints on where to look or what to change so that both 
things are clear? How can I get a mix of screen captures into a vector drawing 
that remain crisp? If I need to change my workflow, that's fine.

RE: Blurry vector/raster images in PDF -- Solved

[Lief Erickson]

Never mind. I was right, it was the compression settings. It turns out that 
although I had changed the Distiller settings, I wasn't using the changed 
compression settings. When I used the correct compression settings, the image 
became clear (albeit bigger, but that's OK).

RE: Creating an FM9 Style to Apply Forced Page Breaks

[Lief Erickson]

Alison--

You can create a style that has a large space below defined, which has
the effect of pushing everything to the next page. This is what I have
done and has worked well for years. I called mine 0PageBreak so that it
is the first tag that appears in the list when I press F9, which makes
it very easy to insert. It's also easy to search and remove all of these
artificial breaks too by using a specific paragraph tag.

Hi

I'm using FM 9.0p230 and I see that the list of building blocks in the
Paragraph Designer is ... empty!

Is anyone else seeing this?

John,
I'm not positive because I haven't played with it yet myself, but I
think
the next step is to use Frame's Track Changes tool to Accept/Reject the
delete / insert comments that you've imported.

 Then in the Book file, I imported PDF comments. The insert/delete

 I do not see an MS Word-style accept-reject comment option, but it

RE: Why does Frame cycle 2x ?

[Lief Erickson]

My experience is that if you leave the Find dialog box to edit
something, FrameMaker knows this and starts its search over from the
last location of the cursor in the flow until it has circled through the
file back to the cursor spot. If you don't jump from the Find dialog
into the document, FrameMaker only goes through the file once. I know of
no way to have it stop once it reaches the end of the file without
circling back through if I've made a change in the document that wasn't
using the Find dialog.

Hi, guys.

Has anyone experienced the problem of when generating a PDF from a Frame

From what we can tell, it only happens on XP Pro OS and is more prone
(though not always) in text inserted by reference.

 Hello Deirdre

 The presence of a table caption is determined by the table format as
shown in the Table Designer. You can set it to No title if you wish.

 Figure captions are just paragraphs that you may or may not want to
insert.

 If you are using structured FrameMaker, you can have a figure caption
inserted automatically every time you insert a figure.

 Hope this helps.

Per the readme...

List of major issues resolved in this update.

* Extended characters have extra preceding space when using Arial
Unicode MS

* FM catalogs don't sort properly.

* DITA Conref does not get resolved in some cases.

* Some higher code point characters are dropped on MIF open

* In documents with Japanese, Chinese and Korean combination fonts,
quotation marks look different than in FM7.x

* While using Combined Fonts, non-Asian characters present in the Asian

Anyone else having trouble getting this update to install? 

I've tried multiple times, including from Acrobat after completely
shutting
down my system and every time it says that it detects that FM is open
and
cannot install. At least twice, FM was definitely not open.

Wondering if it's just my system or if others are having the same
problem. I
was really hoping to get my dictionary working properly.

RE: Paragraph Designer - Next Pgf Tag

This has been my experience, too. I find it terribly annoying because

Typing text into the paragraph makes the next paragraph feature work.

RE: Text Inset Problem with TortoiseSVN

[Lief Erickson]

I've used TortoiseSVN with my FrameMaker files (along with my insets)
for a couple of years and have not had any problems. Some thoughts:

+ Are the files stored on a server or locally? If they're on a server,
are the writers using mapped drives? Are the drives mapped with the same
drive letter (e.g., F:\)?

+ If the files are updated to a local directory on the hard drive, are
all writers using the same directory structure? This should be exactly
the same so that relative paths are maintained.

I'm not convinced it's an SVN problem. My guess is that it may be
directory structure related.

Subject: Text Inset Problem with TortoiseSVN

My client started using imported text insets for some boilerplate
paragraphs. In the folder tree, the folder of boilerplate source files
is at the same level as the folder of the FM book. Both folders are
checked into TortoiseSVN, an open-source client for Subversion, a
version-control program.

Every time a different writer opens a FM file that uses one of the text
insets, s/he gets an error message from FM saying the text inset is
unresolved. Re-importing the text inset fixes the problem for that
writer. Every writer opens the same FM file and imports the same text
inset, so there's no reason for FM to lose the link. We copied both
folders to a location outside SVN and the problem did not occur, so it
has something to do with SVN. 

By the way, the book folder contains a subfolder of Xrefed image files,
and SVN doesn't interfere with those links. We're going to try Xrefing
the text insets instead of importing them, but Xrefing them means we
lose the formatting and markers (Index and Hypertext) in the source
files.

So ... anyone know what's going on here with SVN?

RE: Text Inset Problem with TortoiseSVN

[Lief Erickson]

You would not need to get locks for any text insets. Just the main
document (unless you are making changes to the text inset itself). 

With multiple writers it's good practice to use the exclusive lock
feature of SVN with FrameMaker files. SVN can't merge FrameMaker's
binary files and manually merging two writers' changes is a pain. Take
my word for it.

Mike, 

This is shot in the dark, but are you using exclusive locks and the

just the file you're opening.

RE: Run WinOS (and FM) on a MAC OS X

I recently switched and a main reason that I did was a product called

you are not looking to be a high-end gamer, Parallels is a sweet tool. It

Boot Camp, which requires a reboot).
