Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 12 and Parallels on a Mac (running Windows 10)
Thanks, Monique! Yes, I found that approach mentioned in my archives for this list, and tried it. Did improve things a bit – the menu is more readable and the icons show up. Although still very small for both. I just have to be very careful with my mouse positioning when I click, but I am not using FM12 much at all, so not an issue. Also, I am using a Logitech mouse (an MX-3 Master) on that Mac that is way better than the trackpad (I like multiple buttons – not used to multiple finger pad access!). Though, I’ll just have to display the Mac on my large 27” display (it is 4K, so still will have small menus) to make things readable to my aging eyes.

[Framers] Glossary popups FrameMaker 12 to Responsive HTML
Hi all - I'm using FrameMaker 12 unstructured. In a document that will be published as Responsive HTML, I need the user to be able to point (or click) at part of a screenshot and a popup opens, explaining that feature. I've tried using the marker types Glossary and GlossaryTerm, and they work fine as long as both are in text. But when I create a text frame on top of the screenshot in the anchored frame and put the marker in the text frame, it's a no-go. I'm guessing it works when both are in the text because they're in the same flow (A:). But FrameMaker won't let me tag the text frame on the screenshot A and if I create a text frame outside the anchored frame and tag it A, FrameMaker won't let me drag it into the frame. So long story short, is there a way to get this work? Should I use something other than Glossary markers? I've noticed that the Popup marker type is available but appears to do nothing and is no longer mentioned in FrameMaker Help.

Re: [Framers] import xml into FrameMaker 12?
Thanks Lin. DITA-FMx can help you get FM files from DITA XML, although it's really intended as a replacement for the built-in DITA support in FM. Bjørn .. when you say "convert and publish xml files into FM 12," what do you mean? Does your client want to convert the XML files into FM files and stop using the XML files as the source? Or do they want to use FM as the authoring tool for the XML files? (Or something else?) In order to open/edit an XML file in FM you need a structured application designed specifically for the model in the XML files. If these XML files are a common standard (DITA, DocBook, ??), you can likely use one of the available structure applications to open those files. If not, then you'd first need to develop the structure application. Once you have a structure application that lets you open the files, you can .. - edit and save back to the original XML model (basically letting you edit the XML files in FM), - or you can save those files to an FM binary file (letting you author in the structured FM interface, but not using the XML files any more), - or you can take those structured FM files and strip the "structure" from them (resulting in unstructured FM files) Depending on the end goal, those are the basic processes. So the first thing you want to do is to clarify the end goal, and to figure out what XML model is used by the files. If it's DITA (or DocBook), you're in good shape. If something else, you've got a bit of effort (or cost) involved to develop a structure application. Here's the docs on structure application development (see the like-named section) .. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/framemaker.html If you'd like someone to make the structure application for you, I'd be happy to help .. contact me off-list.

Re: [Framers] Conditional Text Question FrameMaker 12
Hi Julie, I think this calls for scripting, as there is no way to redefine the current conditional tags to an already existing one. the scripting environment is included in FM since version 10. If there are enough tags it might be worth your time or budget to either do the scripting yourself or get an experienced scripter to do it for you. I am too busy but you can ask Rick Quatro. He knows his way around the FM scripting jungle. I am guessing he might respond pretty quickly to this message.

Find some text tagged with Condition B.

[Framers] Conditional Text Question FrameMaker 12
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has a solution for the following scenario. I have 3 different conditional text tags in one of my files. One of these conditional text tags was created and applied inadvertently and should really be applied as one of the other 2 conditional text tags. For Example this file contains Conditional Text A, Conditional Text B, and Conditional Text C. The information tagged as Conditional Text C should really be applied and only tagged as Conditional Text B so that I can delete the Conditional Text tag, Conditional Text C. Is there an easy way to do this? I tried to Edit the conditional text tag but that didn't work.

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 12: "Save as" grayed out
Hi Klaus Thank you for your reply. I've tested this again and the problem seems to occur with files which are on Dropbox. I checked Edit > Preferences > Global > Dropbox, but I didn't find any special settings there. So yes, I think we can call this a bug. My workaround is now to save the file in a non-Dropbox folder and then move it to Dropbox.

Yves, in my environment (W7, x64) FM-12.0.4.445 behaves as expected. Have tested with Read-only files also. A locked file however shows only a limited menu set and no save at all. Is it a document form a nework and connection is down now? Does it happen with other files also? Try deleting %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\12 before restarting FM. Save maker.ini first in case you have special settings in maker.ini and redo these one by one later. No other ideas here.

[Framers] FrameMaker 12 - RoboHelp 11 - Graphics Conversion shows bad results
We are using TCS 5 and encounter blurry graphics when we convert a FrameMaker book to HTML Help. All graphics are referenced in the FrameMaker files and are mainly Tiffs with 632x475 px at 200 dpi. Due to our layout we want to become the graphics in the on-line help enlarged to 200 %. It seems that RoboHelp converts the graphics in two stages, in the first stage the graphics will be resized to 96 dpi, 303x228 px. In the second stage this 96 dpi graphic is then scaled to 200% which results in bad image quality. Is there any way to change this conversion behaviour? If I resize such a tiff in Photoshop I get perfect quality, but it is a one stage conversion. BTW: We tested RoboHelp 2015 too, with the same result.

Re: FrameMaker 12 XSLT Version
Rick,According to the Using FrameMaker 12, page 481:FrameMaker includes an
XSLT processor that allows you to associate an XSLT file with an XML structure
application or XML document, and apply the transformations defined in that
document when importing from or exporting to XML. FrameMaker supports W3C XSLT
1.0 recommendations. You can Upgrade to Saxon 2.0 processor by editing the
maker.ini file.

Re: FrameMaker 12 XSLT Version
Rick,I missed this other reference:
The output is created using a parser installed on the machine and registered
with FrameMaker through maker.ini settings. XALAN and SAXON are installed by
default on your machine with FrameMaker. XALAN supports XSLT 1.0 and SAXON
supports XSLT 2.0. Both XALAN and SAXON are JAXP compliant.
Since Saxon is included, it just might be possible to use XSLT 1.0 and/or 2,0.
YMMV

Re: why view on phone WAS: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped
Sure, it makes sense to generate all of the output formats and make them available as samples.

RE: why view on phone WAS: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped
I'm curious about one thing (well, more than just one; but one thing in the current context...): Has Adobe ever actually said that they use FrameMaker produce the FrameMaker documentation? I know that Microsoft has never made any such statement about the MS Word documentation, and for years there have been two persistent rumors about this; one is that they use a proprietary in-house tool or system, and another is that they use FrameMaker. -FR From: craig...@hotmail.com To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: why view on phone WAS: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 13:19:05 -0600 They walk around while reading the help docs created in Framemaker.

RE: why view on phone WAS: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped
In the old days (circa 1993), when Microsoft actually produced hard copy manuals - and they were fabulous manuals from a content standpoint - they did actually use MS Word to produce them (my husband was a Microsoft programmer at the time). Since they've gone to online help, it's more about the online than the help - unless of course you need to do something really difficult like open a file or apply a bold font style. The kind of help a seasoned writer would be looking for is pretty much non-existent.

Re: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped; in PDF
I agree. I downloaded the PDF instead. A lot of web content seems to be going the way of cell phone/small screen display. In the USA I see more and more sites starting to look like cell phone displays with less real information. It appears that instead of implementing responsive HTML, companies are implementing cell phone displays as the standard for all devices. I often think the information is also becoming more pedestrian, i.e less technical. I remember looking up how to install a home furnace. It said step three was the hardest; Step 3: Locating a furnace contractor. I that light, the only hard part about implementing Framemaker is locating a good FM consultant.

RE: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped; in PDF
Agreed too. The online help is not great. I am using Frame 10 and am trying to make up my mind about putting through a request for 12 or wait until 13, which I’m guessing will be out next year. So I want to browse through the docs to get an idea of how helpful the new features will be. The PDF is much easier for this purpose. OTOH, either still beats the “help” in Word 2010 or 2013 which is completely useless. I just use Google when I need to find out something.

Re: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped; in PDF
Sorry if this is obvious to some .. I'm thinking it's not obvious to all. This Help system *is* responsive .. it's just that the response points seem to be at odd sizes (at least to me). If your browser window is around 1300px wide, you'll get the full set of features. At around 1000px you get a reduced set. Then around 700px it bumps down again. Losing the TOC at 1300px seems a bit extreme. Personally, I'd set that at 600-800px. Not everyone works with a browser at full screen, and there's no reason that you need so much room for the content pane. Keep the TOC visible until the content pane is too small to be useful. I really like the fact that this is responsive .. the problem is that a responsive layout needs to be well designed at all sizes. That does complicate things a bit, but it's worth the effort in the long run. Cheers, ...scott On 12/15/14 5:54 AM, Ed Nodland wrote: I agree. I downloaded the PDF instead.

Re: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped; in PDF

At around 1280 pixels or wider, there's a TOC nav tree in a left-hand pane. In the middle of the border between the TOC and the topic pane, there's a left arrow you can click to minimize the TOC. Minimized, there's a right arrow to expand it. At less than 1280, the expanded or minimized TOC disappears, and I see no way to get it. There is a button in the top left corner you can click to *replace* the current topic with a hard-to-navigate version of the TOC with huge amounts of white space.

Re: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped
Thanks for the links Maxwell. The PDF looks interesting. As for the HTML, I understand Responsive HTML is cool and all that and has some applications, but I am trying to come up with a scenario where I would look up something in FrameMaker Help on my phone. If I need to research something in FrameMaker Help, I think I would open a browser in one of my two desktop monitors instead of trying to read it on a tiny phone screen (Galaxy S3). Is this capability something requested by other Frame users or is Adobe simply showing that it can be done via Frame?

Re: online FrameMaker 12 Documentation totally revamped; in PDF and HTML5
Maxwell,It would be great to be able to download the PDF or link to the HTML version but both links above don't work.My preference would be the PDF. I prefer to have a local copy.The HTML5 link does work.

Robert,Comparing the TOC of the New Using Framemaker 12 against the TOC of the one you referenced this morning (see below) concerning endnotes, there are several sections missing in the New version.Maybe keeping both links available would be a temporary fix.Just like I keep a copy of the Framemaker 5 User Guide because the index in the pre-Adobe Framemaker was more robust in what it covered.

webinar recommendation: FrameMaker 12 regular expression search
Rick Quatro did a great presentation on FrameMaker 12 Regular expression search last week. I watched the archived webinar and learned quite a few things that would have taken a while to work through on my own. Highly recommended. See it at: http://tinyurl.com/mzlql6k or you can pick it from the list of archived Adobe webinars at: http://adobe.ly/Pbdp0J Maxwell's short presentation on FM Tables was very good, too. One of the things mentioned was the ability to navigate between the cells with the arrow keys that is part of the 12.0.3. update.

FrameMaker 12 Package function doesn't really work
Hi group I've got an Fm file with graphics imported by reference. The Fm file is in folder A and the graphics are in folder B, C and D. When I try to create a package, I get a message saying that I opted not to create [a] package if dependent file(s) are missing and that files will not be copied as they exist outside [the] containing folder of the document to be packaged. No I did not opt this and I thought that was the whole idea of creating a package: to collect all the linked graphics into a single folder (or subfolders), as the Archive plugin or the Archive ExtendScript did. So, when I click Continue after seeing the above messages, a ZIP file is created but it only contains my Fm file, no graphics.

RE: FrameMaker 12 Cloud
Rick, You may want to be aware of a current product launch promotion that is about to expire. Through May 30th, (10 days left) you can subscribe to ALL of Tech Comm Suite 5 (FrameMaker, RoboHelp, Captivate, Acrobat and Presenter), for the same price of $29.99. That is one dollar per day for 5 products (yes, with a one-year commitment). This is a one-time promotion related to first 6 months of product launch and this comes to an end 11:59 PM May 30th, Pacific Time. There is an information link to the 40% off promo on the home page of FrameMaker and Tech Comm Suite. FYI -- after the one year, you can downgrade from Tech Comm Suite to only FrameMaker and continue the subscription for only $29.99 per month. Again, $1 per day. Incidentally, if a major release comes out (e.g. FrameMaker 13) during your subscription, you are automatically upgraded at no extra cost. If you would like regular updates on such promotions, follow us on Twitter at @AdobeTCS or @maxwellhoffmann Maxwell Hoffmann | Product Evangelist | Adobe | p. 503.336.5952 | c. 503.805.3719 | mhoff...@adobe.com http://twitter.com/maxwellhoffmann - http://www.linkedin.com/in/maxwellhoffmann [blogs.adobe.com/techcomm]blogs.adobe.com/techcomm Upcoming webinars http://adobe.ly/Pbz6xIRecorded webinars: http://adobe.ly/Pbdp0J From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com on behalf of Rick Quatro r...@rickquatro.com Sent: Monday, May 19, 2014 12:04 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: FrameMaker 12 Cloud Hi Framers, Anyone using FrameMaker 12 subscription version?

With all respect to Maxwell, special offers do not answer Rick's point.

RE: FrameMaker 12 Cloud
Hi Steve, Yes, you are right, I didn't answer Rick's question. I have no answer, other than that Lynda.com provides training which wouldn't be used weekly in production as FrameMaker usually is. I do however feel that everyone should be aware that they only have 10 days left to get 5 products for $1 per day. That is a pretty big deal, and it ends forever on May 30th. I will now exit this discussion. I do appreciate your feedback.

Re: FrameMaker 12 Cloud
Right on, about automatic upgrades. They should be optional. Here's the gotcha! Should be plural, not singular: 1. Adobe suffers from the inability to cohesively deal with post sale help issues within a product by version, or by PDF's, on-line, forums, including **in-person tech support*. Adobe suffers? So do we! 2. Adobe displays an endemic nonchalance to providing focused answers to questions without misdirecting the issue to other releases, some being several years old with different interfaces. 3. Additionally, while seeking a legitimate answer to one thing or the other, it's not helpful to be smacked in the face with salubrious advertising, especially, a) if it's redundant to a current subscription. (How many times to I need to subscribe to the same products in the same suite?), or b) it's for any other product which Adobe's kaleidoscopic visionaries are favoring. **Case in point:* 1. to my pleasant surprise, twice, last week, I receive a call from Frame Tech Support in New Delhi regarding Frame 12's 2nd patch creating a shrunken pear shape when installed in Windows 8.1. 2. I was informed that my issue was not the first. (Cool, I'm not the only thorn among roses.) 3. Here's the rub! The tech, via Adobe Connect, was operating in Windows 7 Pro, a fact not provided me until the end of call number two. 1. He could see that Frame 12 and the 1st patch were not corrupted. 2. He could see the mess caused by the 2nd patch. 3. So he tweaked my registry, whereupon, I began to suspect he was not using or familiar with Windows 8.1. His pointer was from the wrong kennel. 4. He admitted failure and decided to escalate the issue and assured me I would hear from Adobe a/o yesterday. (Monday, the 19th. Tuesday in New Delhi, giving the escalator repairman an extra day to de-kink it.) 5. Meanwhile, the computer was now acting odd. So, on Sunday, I did a complete repair within 8.1 (Several hours were dedicated to repairing Adobe's well meaning but ill prepared support.) 6. FYI, I have received no contact from Adobe via email, telephone, or carrier pigeon. Today, I am running Frame 12 without any patches. It works fine. Who knows what I'm missing from the subsequent patches? Bad joke intended! Thanks, Steve, for getting on Maxwell for his well intended, though myopic, marketing pitch which sounded like: hurry up. All aboard. Train's leaving! When I take the A Train, I expect to get where I'm going. My apologies to Duke Ellington. Ted Ps. Word Mongers - hmm, nice name. I've been called a Word Carver.

Update for FrameMaker 12
Hi, There is already an update for FrameMaker 12 which fixes some bugs: 1. Generating a list or an index of references (imported graphics) results in a blank file. (Ref#: 3703081) 2. The Search and Replace feature causes any replaced text to be formatted in Times New Roman with size as 12pt Default. This is irrespective of font and font-size of the replaced text. (Ref#: 3703070) 3. Accessing WebHelp locally (not accessing the help via a Web Server) from Chrome on Mac does not show TOC search. (Ref#: 3703173) 4. When a Glossary / Glossaryterm is not present in the first .fm file of a book, the Glossary popup feature does not work for any of the .fm files in the book. (Ref#: 3703172) 5. When a window-intensive application like the Lotus Notes is open, then FrameMaker takes long time to open Publish pod or the workspace containing Publish pod. (Ref#: 3703168) 6. FrameMaker crashes on printing a book in unstructured mode.

Re: RECORDING of What's new in FrameMaker 12 webinar from Jan 28 with time chart
Thanks! Does anyone know of a CIAB for FM12? I could have sworn I saw a download on amazon.com and then - poof! It was gone. The Getting Started Guide on the Adobe site won't open and doesn't appear to have the depth of training the CIAB series does. Could I simply order the FM 11 CIAB and get 90% of the basic FM 12 functionality? Your thoughts? TIA for your help.

Re: Now OT, I suppose. RE: Adobe pricing policies (was: FrameMaker 12 released)
I don't buy that at all. DITA has major costs that are not offset unless you have substantial opportunities for reuse and publish in multiple languages. There's no rational reason to spend money on low-value upgrades. Do a cost-benefit analysis and know what you're paying for. At one old job we were using FM6. We looked at 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2, nobody thought they were worth the cost. FrameMaker's major competition is Flare, which does a pretty good job of importing FM files.

The idea is fantastic, but the cost needs to be around $100-150 a seat. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as bernyga...@rogers.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: FREE TC CAMP Sat 25 Jan workshop Santa Clara, CA; world premiere live demo FrameMaker 12
Last CalL! TC Camp is TOMORROW at Mission College in Santa Clara, CA. TC Camp Exclusive: See Adobe's TCS5 in person and maybe win a subscription! TC Camp, the unconference for content creators, consumers, and the people who support them, is happening at Mission College in Santa Clara on Saturday 25 January 2014. I don't know if you've been to an unconference before, but they are very different from regular conferences. They are not juried. Sessions aren't presenter-decided topics. It's much more fluid and much more audience decided. All session topics are decided by the attendees on the day of the event. Everyone nominates topics; we vote on them together; and then, those sessions with enough votes get scheduled into the agenda. You can guarantee there is always a session happening that you're interested in. Unconferences are all hallway - like the hallway conversations you have between session at regular conferences. At an Unconference, you get the chance to work with other people to really wrap your arms around a topic and figure it out as it applies directly to you. The main unconference (afternoon) is Free. We have an expert panel to kick things off which Scott Abel is moderating. If you're interested, there are morning workshops that cost a modest $30. The workshops happen in the morning before the main unconference starts. There are 6 morning workshops to choose from that will help get the creative juices flowing: * Structured Authoring - lessons learned from the pioneers. Tracy Baker (F5), Wendy Shaffer and Amy Bowman (VMWare) will be giving advice for people learning DITA. All three of them were early DITA adopters and learned by fire. They are passing on their lessons learned so you can benefit from their experience. * Analytics - learn how to apply and interpret analytics to improve your content. You have a chance to hear from analytics folks (marketing folks) about some of the secrets of SEO and using analytics, it's a great opportunity. * Content Strategy - Strategy from the outside (your customer's side). Pam Noreault (ACI Worldwide) and Chip Gettinger (SDL) are presenting about thinking strategically about xml publishing projects. It's lessons learned, but from a manager's perspective. Pam's done it twice, and the second time she decided to rearchitect content from the Customer's Perspective. This is absolutely going to be a great session. * Responsive Design - learn how to improve your authoring so your content looks good anywhere. Mike Hamilton, from MadCap Software, will explain and show techniques for authoring and delivering of content that responds to the user needs whether they be handheld, mobile, or full screen PC so that it not only works from a responsive design standpoint, but increases usability and customer satisfaction. * Content Quality - improve authoring and publishing efficiency and the experience of your users. Doug Gorman from SimplyXML is talking about how to improve authoring efficiency, publishing efficiency, re-usability, and the experience of your information consumers. His workshop is doctype and tool-independent because these lessons apply universally. * Adobe - all about TCS5! This will be the first public showing of TCS5! Max Hoffmann will be here to give the world premiere demo of the product that was released on Tuesday this week It's an amazing experience - energetic, dynamic, and all about the attendees learning from each other. If you want to see what someone from the SF STC had to say about last year, he wrote up a review here for their December Newsletter: http://www.stc-sf.org/newsletter/2013-dec/tc_camp_2.html For more information about this year's event, the detail page is here: http://www.tccamp.org/2013/11/tccamp-2014/ I hope that we'll see you there!

The free workshop is courtesy of Adobe’s sponsorship of TC Camp. Other portions of the TC Camp later in the day require a modest fee; I attended last year and can highly recommend it. I hope to see some of you early Saturday morning when I will be sharing new features in Tech Comm Suite 5, FrameMaker 12, FrameMaker XML Author 12 and RoboHelp 11.
