Re: [Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based
I think so? At least with FrameMaker, 2020 installed into a separate folder and left the 2019 installation alone.

Nothing happens. You bought a perpetual license for FM12 and it will continue to work as long as the machine and OS allow it to.

Re: [Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based
You are correct, and I mentioned that on the FrameMaker group on the Adobe forums. That's not the only issue on Adobe's site. At the moment, the only way that I, who have a Teams subscription through work, could upgrade to FM2020, was to download the free trial. There's a download link on the account page for our FM subscription, but it takes you to the CREATIVE CLOUD downloads page and has for more than a year. I've made multiple complaints but Adobe hasn't fixed it. FM seem to be the red-headed stepchild of Adobe. As to an earlier email of yours, there is no difference between someone upgrading from an earlier version to 2020 or someone getting a new subscription to 2020. The subscription price is the same for everyone. There are two annual options (no monthly option for FM!): one is to prepay for a year (about $360), the other is to pay monthly ($29.99) for a year's subscription (which totals about $360) with cancellation fees if you cancel it early.

Re: [Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based
As I said, they *did *provide a way to activate the CS1-3 packages without needing a server, but that was for only a short period of time and it is no longer available. My guess is that a similar thing will happen if the CS4-6 servers are deactivated. However, as I also said, I do not work for Adobe and should not be considered an authority on what they will choose to do in the future, nor should anything I say here be considered a guarantee of what they will or will not choose to do. This is an authoritative list of all of Adobe's products and when they went End of Life and when Extended Support was ended.

Re: [Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based
Adobe still does the 30-day trial. I know because despite my company having a subscription, the only way I could download the installation program was to fill out that stupid form. Someone at Adobe doesn't like updating the FM associated websites and links. There are quite a few trainers out there. Barb Binder and Matt Sullivan are two of them. I think Shlomo Peretz still does some training, but I also think he's semi-retired. I could be wrong about that.

Re: [Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based
Carol, I don't know. I don't work for Adobe. My understanding is that the activation servers for CS1-3 simply wore out and weren't maintainable anymore, the software required to perform activations can't run on the new platforms, and it would have taken a great deal of money and time for Adobe to try to port it. They weren't willing to spend those resources for a product that hasn't been for sale for almost a decade and for which even extended support was ended over a year ago. There *was *a brief time period at the end of 2019 where Adobe provided a special, you won't need an activation server, number for the CS1-3 products. I emphasize *brief*: that option is no longer available. My assumption is that if and when they retire the activation servers for CS4-6 the same will happen, but I have no way to know this for certain. Since I have none of the CS products, I also don't know if Adobe sent out a notification of this happening for CS1-3. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. (Oh, and yes, if it has CS in the name it is/was part of Creative Suites.) And standard warning: if anyone tries to get in touch with you claiming to be able to sell you Creative Suites, do not buy from them. They're scammers, and at best you will lose your money. -- Lin Sims ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
Re: [Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based
If you have a perpetual license, you will not have to pay additional money.

Re: [Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based
I'm not Adobe, but I can confirm that as of the 2020 version, all the products in the Technical Communications Suite are subscription only. They are also 64-bit software only. The information in October was correct for FrameMaker 2019 and TCS 2019. If you purchased a perpetual license for any of the products in TCS 2019, it remains good. Be aware that Adobe has also moved to an N-1 support program. If I recall correctly, that means they provide support for the current and immediately previous version of their product. I'm not surprised the website hasn't caught up. Whoever manages Adobe's websites never seems to get around to the products they consider to be niche. For example, through my job I have a subscription to FrameMaker, but if I go into my account to download it, the link takes me to Creative Cloud instead, and has for more than a year. When 2020 was released, I literally had to fill out the form for a trial product, even though I have a subscription. Once it's installed, though, logging into Adobe verifies the subscription. Additional information: For those of you who still have Creative Suites, it is no longer possible to activate CS 1-3. Those servers are retired. You can still activate CS 4-6, but support is minimal. I think you can get the number of activations reset and that's about it. -- Lin Sims ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
Re: [Framers] Fraction symbols
With the exceptions of the glyphs Fred mentioned (they're included in the typeface we use at work), I wound up creating a load of variables with the fractions pre-set up because we use a fair number of Imperial measurements in our documents and it got to be a pain using the character map to insert anywhere between 3 and 5 glyphs each time one was needed. Now I'm using the Autotext plugin to do the same thing, since it cuts back on the amount of overhead in the document, but it comes to the same thing. Assuming your typeface supports the 0 through 9 in super and subscripts, I can send you the mif file I created for importing just those variables into a document.

Re: [Framers] Hi, what is the best way to convert from MSWord docx to FM 19? Thanks.
There is! It's not automated as part of the import, though. After you import, you open the File > Utilities menu and use the Split Current Document. Then you have to choose which tag is used to signal the start of a new file.

Re: [Framers] Hi, what is the best way to convert from MSWord docx to FM 19? Thanks.
If you used styles in your Word document and have tags set up in a Frame template, the easiest way is to open a new Frame document based on your Frame template and use File > Import > File, Import by Copy. That will open the Word Import dialog that allows you to map Word styles to Framemaker tags. Once you've done that, click OK and the Word document will import.

Re: [Framers] Char out of range: 13
I can tell you one thing the regular Arial font doesn't have that Arial Unicode does: glyphs for subscript numbers. This is something my company needs because we do a lot of measurements. Luckily, the font we use for our brand is Source Sans Pro, which does have those glyphs.

Re: [Framers] [EXTERNAL] Inserting checkmark in a table cell (FM12)
Variables are useful. You can also check out Klaus Daube's ETB Insert Symbols plugin ( https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker81.html), which is a subset of his Extended Toolbars, that allows you to create a list of special characters for insertion (3 clicks, ish), or you can also try Silicon Prairie's Autotext Plugin, which lets you set up all sorts of boilerplate inserts ( https://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Downloads.html). Klaus' plugin is free, but you can pay him. Silicon Prairie is shareware, but it will nag you to buy it. At $10, it's cheap for its utility.

Re: [Framers] Inserting checkmark in a table cell (FM12)
I usually use the Windows Character Map to copy and paste symbols like that. I'd suggest using it to find the ASCII/ANSI code for a checkmark in your font. If it's not something you can enter using Alt+# (and in our corporate font, there isn't one, it's Unicode only), then copy it into a variable and use that instead. Or you can use the radical character (a.k.a. square root), which is Alt+251. On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 9:03 AM Tom Beiswenger < tom.beiswen...@emhartglass.com> wrote: > How do I do this?

Re: [Framers] Book and Doc Templates.
What Jeff said. And if you're really worried, save the Word file to a text file, open it in something like Notepad++, and copy from there. You'll lose some of the context of headings and things, though, which means keeping the Word file open so you can check for things like heading tags and graphic locations and the like. Still, I prefer it because there is no way, none, that anything sneaks through. The only thing I copy directly from Word is tables, and those go into a separate Frame document with the right tags set up and then I use Rick's TableCleaner to fix them before copying them (again) into Frame. I tend toward the paranoid when it comes to Word.

Re: [Framers] Book and Doc Templates.
And that is exactly why I go the text route. If I didn't create that Word file, I don't know whether the person who did set it up right or not. Usually the answer is "not". (On a side note, if you set up a Word template, create your own numbering list styles and assign your own number styles to the list style, and restrict style usage to the ones you created. You will prevent so many headaches by forcing users to actually use styles instead of the bloody ribbon bar!)

Re: [Framers] Book and Doc Templates.
I think it's more like no one has "templates" so didn't feel they could help you. Frame since, I think, 2017, has a Word Import facility that allows you to map Word styles to Frame tags, which can do a lot of the work for you as long as you have a file set up with the tags you want. Check Barb Binder's Rocky Mountain training site; I believe she has a blog post explaining how to do that. Beyond that, I recommend Rick Quattro's TableCleaner script, which will help you reformat Word's tables to clean Frame tables. Personally, I usually save the Word file to an ASCII text file and copy and paste blocks into Frame, tagging as I go. It may be a bit brute force, but it works for me. If nothing else, it ensures that none of Word's cruft is imported and that the graphics I need are placed where I want them.

Re: [Framers] Frame Updates
If the tracker says it's fixed for FM2020, then I don't expect it to be included in an update, even if there is another one between now and the 2020 release. Also, FM2019 was released on August 22, 20*18*, not 2019. We're actually closing in on 2 years since the last release.

Re: [Framers] Nostalgia - was Re: FrameMaker 2015
Word still pretty much sucks. It's more stable than it used to be, but things like numbering still require very strictly controlled styles or some facility with VB. I've encountered people who can get it to do a lot of what Frame does, but, again, they use a lot of VB macros to do what Frame does out of the box. No thanks!

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 2015
Started with, I think, Frame 5.5.2, so I'm a relative newbie compared to you hoary folks. Before that I was using WordPerfect (a program I still have a strong love for). And I'm sorry to report that FM's spell checker, at least as of FM2019, no longer suggests FrameMaker for Interleaf. Interleaf is still marked as a possible misspelling, but the new top suggestion is "Inter-leaf". Internet, Interlinear, and Interfile are also suggested.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 2015
Huh. I don't know that I've seen that before. My first guess would be to check and make sure you have all the updates installed. I think you only need the latest one, since at some point Adobe went with cumulative instead of sequential updates. My second would be to check your display drivers. Make sure they are up-to-date, especially since you say you have new monitors. My third would be to reset the preferences folder by deleting it. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\## (I think this is 13 for FM2015). Not sure I have a fourth.

Re: [Framers] Best way to import/add select paragraph formats?
I often use MIF snippets. 1. Save the file with the formats you want in it as a MIF. 2. Open the file in a text editor. 3. Delete everything except the definitions for the tags you want. 4. Save the file (make sure the extension stays MIF). 5. In FM, open the MIF file and the file you want those specific formats in. 6. Import paragraph (or character, or whatever) formats from the MIF file to the FM file. Alternatively, you can create a new, clean file, import the tags from the file that has the formats you want into it, and then just go through each catalog and delete the formats you DON'T want from it. Save, then open the file you need those new formats in and import from the clean file.

Re: [Framers] Book-level conversion of FM 19 to Word
You can export to RTF, but only on a file-by-file basis. It'll keep the styles but you'll still need to do some clean-up because Word.

Re: [Framers] Book-level conversion of FM 19 to Word
Yeah, creating a PDF and exporting it to Word was my first thought. The only problem with that is that you lose all your styles/tags. It'll look the same, but there's no way to easily apply and/or update formatting. Rick Quatro has a script that mass converts to varying FM and MIF outputs. I imagine it would be pretty easy to add RTF as an output format.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 2020
What is an optical margin? Also, if you're looking for "old style numerals", are you talking about where numbers like the 3 extending slightly below the baseline? That appears to be a function of the font set as much as anything else. I'm pretty sure I've seen fonts that provide that still. As for super/subscripts or numerators/denominators, again, depending on the font you use, there are font sets that include super and subscript glyphs that work well as numerators and denominators, instead of using the superscript/subscript function on the character designer. I've got a whole set of variables that are just constructed fractions using built-in font glyphs. (We use Source Sans Pro because it has a lot of the mathematical symbols we need and it also lets us construct those fractions.) At any rate, if there are features you'd like added, you can always put in a feature request: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/home Talk about them here and I'm sure a bunch of us would vote for them. You can also make requests on the Adobe FrameMaker forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/bd-p/framemaker?page=1=latest_replies=all and tag it with Feature Request.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 2020
Adobe seems to have stabilized on an 18-month release cycle. IIRC, 2019 was released in January 2019, so expect something in June-ish. And if I didn't recall correctly, add 18 months to whenever it actually was released.

It does that automatically now, although it's still faster if you have them all open. I usually have all my files open anyway for xref creation so it's never been an issue for me.

I've never used a comment marker. I didn't even know they existed, but that's mostly because I don't use markers much. I should probably look into their functionality. For me, I just create a condition tag for comments because that makes it easy to find and edit comments. On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 11:49 AM Carol J.

Re: [Framers] In FM 2019, the "Update Book" function "dies" in the middle of a long book
My go-to is performing a MIF wash of the book. Adobe actually has a DLL for that which, for some reason, it doesn't include as part of the basic installation (see https://helpx.adobe.com/framemaker/kb/how-to-use-mifwash-utility-in-framemaker.html) . If that doesn't work, I start working my way through halves of the book. That is, I try to PDF the last half of the book. If that works, I know the problem is in the first half. Then I PDF half of the remaining files. If that works, I move on to half of the remaining files, and so on, until I isolate which file is causing the issue. Repeat the process on the pages of the file itself. Most often, an issue like this is caused by a corrupted graphics file. Isolate it and then try to figure out what went wrong with it, which can mean recreating it.

Re: [Framers] FM19 Publish PDF Problem
I'm pretty certain that Acrobat 9 is too old to be used by the Publish pod. Your best choice is probably to get your employer to pony up for a subscription to Acrobat DC. However (because I could be wrong), try contacting Adobe support for the Technical Communication Suite. https://helpx.adobe.com/support/tech-comm-suite.html Make sure you are logged in to the Adobe site with a valid Adobe ID (preferably the one associated with the license or subscription for FrameMaker) and scroll to the bottom of the page to the chat icon. Click it and type in Agent in order to get connected to a real Adobe employee instead of the AI. Good luck.

Re: [Framers] How to format source code in FM
SVGs are text searchable, so you could always use SVG graphics. Beyond that, no, Frame is not an IDE and it has no automation for formatting code. It doesn't even recognize code.

You are allowed to have it installed and activated on 2 machines, but only one installation/machine at a time can be in use. Which is to say, you can't have it open and running on both machines at the same time.

Re: [Framers] Condition expression for conditional text
Err, by repeat for each book, I mean duplicate the expressions but editing them appropriately. So Book 40, which is your special one, uses almost the identical expression: Book 44, PDF: not (40 or 41 or 42 or HTML) and not (44 and HTML) Book 44, HTML: not (40 or 41 or 42 or PDF) and not (44 and PDF) I think you can see from this how the expressions would need to be edited for 41 and 42?

Re: [Framers] Condition expression for conditional text
Conditioning text works best if you keep it consistent: all of your conditions should be constructed either for the information you DO want to appear in a specific document or for information you DON'T want to appear in a specific document. Making some conditions for information you want in and some you want out is, as you're discovering, hard to work with, especially when you have some of the conditions on a piece of information are for showing and some are for hiding. Over the years, I've found that it is far, far easier to tag for the documents you want the information to be IN. For example, in your case, if the information is only visible in 41, tag it with 41 but not 40, 42, or 44. If it's visible in 40, 41, and 42 but not 44, tag it with 40, 41, and 42 but not 44. Yes, it seems like extra work, but it produces consistent results. You also have two output conditions, PDF or HTML. This is where things get trickier and where expressions come into play because you have to carefully describe the information you want to be visible when there are multiple tags on the text. (The problem with using the Show/Hide panes is that if you have multiple tags on the text, using the Show/Hide panes means that the text will be visible if even one tag is in the Show pane.) If you tag the way I suggest, I believe the following will work: For Book 40, PDF: not (41 or 42 or 44 or HTML) and not (40 and HTML) For Book 40, HTML: not (41 or 42 or 44 or PDF) and not (40 and PDF) and repeat for each book. One of these days, I ought to write up an article on complex conditional expressions. At one point, I was handling a set of files with 10 different outputs arising from 15 different conditions. The expressions were ... complicated. And very, very long. I actually used multiple tables to figure out the combinations needed to produce the output I wanted.

Re: [Framers] Backup in different folder?
I automate as much as I can, and for that very reason. A few weeks ago, I learned how to create a Quick Step in Outlook (company email, you know how it is) that automates the emails I send asking for document reviews or announcing released documents. I was really please to find I could set up recipients and content like that. (MS does not make it easy.)

Re: [Framers] Backup in different folder?
Almost anything. :) Some things I think the design of the program make impossible. For example, table footnotes are always at the *very end* of the table. If you have a multipage table, that can be a real nuisance. The only workaround is to put xrefs in the table to information in a footer row that is formatted to look like a footnote, but then you have all of the "footnotes" appearing on every page instead of only on the page where they're wanted. Maybe what's needed is a way to make table footnotes go to the bottom of the page like regular text footnotes instead of being part of the table structure, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they wouldn't be able to move with the table if edits changed its position.

Re: [Framers] Captions
Frame goes to where you put the cross-reference marker, so yes, if you want the graphic to be visible when you jump to it, you have to put the marker above the graphic. Frame only has one type of cross-reference marker; there is no way for the program to distinguish between "this place in the text", "this caption above a graphic", or "this caption below a graphic".

Re: [Framers] Frame Properties
Re your request to be able to make an xref unclickable (FRMAKER-5971): I really don't think that's possible (but I am not a software engineer). What you can do for now, however, is create an xref format that uses the building block. That will make it look like the rest of the surrounding text. Yes, it'll still be clickable in the PDF, but it won't visibliy jump out at the user that this is a link rather than just text unless they pass their cursor over it.

Re: [Framers] Question About Revision History.
One of my former employers used it as a way to let readers know how information had changed because the document was very long and very technical (installing enterprise-level software). I'm not sure how much it helped overall, but at least if, say, what was required of the customer to have for hardware or already-installed software had changed, they had an alert to pay extra attention to that. Or if how outside-party software had to be configured to work with our software changed, they'd have an alert on that, too. We used change bars in the text itself, but that didn't tell customers HOW things had changed, only that they had. The revision history told them how, which told them what to pay attention to.

Re: [Framers] Shortcuts not working
Try closing FrameMaker and then renaming the preferences folder. For you, it would be C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\14 People usually rename it to C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\14-backup This forces Frame to recreate all the configuration files that control key bindings and the like.

Re: [Framers] What is going on with Adobe Licensing for FrameMaker?
I thought I remembered about this. The same rumour came up in June, and this was the information given then by Amitoj Singh: As of July 1st, 2019, the Software Assurance (ASA) and Maintenance & Support (M) programs were discontinued, although people who have contracts under those programs will continue to have the same support until their contract end date. However, *customers can still purchase perpetual licenses* under the Transactional Licensing Program (TLP) and Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP) from Adobe and from Adobe authorized resellers. This is a link to the thread I started on the Adobe forums about this issue, with the official answer. https://community.adobe.com/t5/FrameMaker/Perpetual-Licenses-for-FrameMaker-and-TCS/m-p/10494707#M61467 He also provided an email address for those with further questions: techc...@adobe.com I haven't heard that these programs are going away, but I'm perfectly willing to ask. :) On Tue, Oct 22, 2019 at 3:47 PM Harding, Dan wrote: > If this is indeed the case (it would be nice to get something definitive > from Adobe directly, not just second-hand interpretations that are all over > the map), then I think a lot of users will be stand pat on FM2019 for a > considerable period of time, at least until it is no longer compatible with > Windows 14, or whatever version breaks it. > > -Dan > > -Original Message- > From: Framers > On Behalf Of Richard Melanson > Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2019 2:43 PM > To: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software. < > framers@lists.frameusers.com> > Subject: Re: [Framers] What is going on with Adobe Licensing for > FrameMaker? > > Either or both of these happening "stinks" shame on Adobe. > > Adobe is discontinuing support for any type of upgrade for perpetual > licenses. > Adobe will be switching OFF perpetual licenses [both for new & renewal] > WORLDWIDE. > > > > Richard Melanson > Technical Writer|HighRes Biosolutions > T:781.932.1912x1160|rmelan...@highresbio.com > www.highresbio.com??? > > This e-mail message may contain confidential information and may not be > used by anyone but the intended recipient.

Re: [Framers] What is going on with Adobe Licensing for FrameMaker?
I haven't heard this, and I'd be suspicious of someone calling you, too. Sounds too much like the "your Windows license is about to expire" scam calls.

Re: [Framers] Auto-assign color to change bars
I must not have been clear. I know you can reset the color using Change Bar Properties. The annoyance is you can only do it on a file-by-file or a book-by-book basis. I don't want to have to go into Change Bar Properties to do this. I want it to be part of the default preferences I can set for FrameMaker, so that when I turn the automatic change bar property on, I don't also have to set the color and position, it is already set the way I want. In other words, I want to be able to go into something like the Preferences screen and say, make my change bars red anytime I have them on. As I said, kinda petty, but I figure if they can automatically set it to default to Black, there's no reason the default color can't be set to some other color, right? Oddly, I appear to have given the same response Monique gave back in February to someone in the Adobe Forums who wanted to do something similar. :D Funny how things come around, innit?

[Framers] Auto-assign color to change bars
I find it very irritating that the change bar color defaults to Black, when I want Red. Is there a command I can add to maker.ini or one of the .cfg files that will make it default to red.

Re: [Framers] News about the FrameMaker history
Oooo! I like the back command. I shall add it. Thank you! Yes, I edited cmds.cfg to disable the rotate table cell text shortcut. I haven't been able to think of a better sequence, but it's not like I use it often enough to worry about a shortcut. The table row format command, though, I use multiple times a week.

Re: [Framers] News about the FrameMaker history
You can still use the keyboard shortcuts, and the new features often have both Windows and Esc shortcuts added. Of course, occasionally they'll add a new feature and break a shortcut, but they're fairly responsive to bug reports. Recently the Row Format: Esc+tr, broke; I doubt if the update this week will have it fixed since I just reported it, but I have high hopes for the next one.

Re: [Framers] Installable FrameMaker
I believe it means that perpetual licenses are still available to individuals and businesses, but people buying the various support programs will need to check with Adobe about support options going forward as their support contracts expire. I would assume that individuals will have the same support they've always had.
