Hi Art,
I want to print to a pdf via acrobat.
If I print the files seperately then the orientation is correct but if I
make a book and print it as seperate pdf files then it goes wrong.
I can't find the setting you're talking about.
Thanks for the help!

Hey,
I've written a basic conversion table and I've got my documents tentatively
structured. However on the export to xml some(but not all) fonts get garbled
on the way.
The main culprit seems to be FMgothic2 although FMgothic[1,3,4] all work
fine. The output is utf16.
Any ideas what could be
Hi All,
I thought I would propose this question again in hopes to get additional
responses. Perhaps the FM gurus who knew the answer weren't available
the last time I asked. Here goes:

Hello everyone,
I would like some advice from anyone who has worked in the
technical writing field for more than 3 years. My question is this:

Hi,
Definitely focus on the position and the work.
The tools change all the time and learning a particular bit of software
is the easy part.

Hi, Andy:
I've been training technical writers on FrameMaker over the past ten
years. I just wanted to respond to the popular idea of FrameMaker as
having a steep learning curve. It's true that there's a lot the
product can do, and a lot to learn about using all the features
necessary to do
You're kind of asking a Catch-22 question, Andy, because you should
obviously focus on
the position and work But most tech writing gigs will specify or
require skills
with whatever tools the shop uses. So you need to focus on both.
I think that you need to have at least a passing familiarty
Andy,
As some others have said, focus on the task rather than the tools. Having
zero FM experience didn't seem to hurt me when I was looking for a job 5
years ago, I was able to convince the interviewers that I could learn any
tool they wanted me to use.

worry so much on which application would be used, but instead focus on
the position and the work itself?
Mark,

Hi Gillian...
Check out our BookVars plugin. It doesn't give you conditions within
variables, but does let you define multiple variable groups that you can
switch between as needed.

Let me know if you have any questions.
