Hi all, Can anybody suggest a book (apart from the following books which are already in my knowledge) on EDD development in Framemaker and advanced framemaker (XML roundtripping). Better, if these are related to FM 7.2. i) Advanced Framemaker by Kay Ethier/Robert Kern/Bradley Anderson/Bernard Asc

I have identified the problem I was having with links not working among separate PDFs. The problem resulted from generating the PDFs from a FrameMaker book file. I must not understand the Print dialog box option "Save Book as... Separate File for each document." Although this does create separate

Links not working in Adobe

2006-10-31 Thread Carol Wade
I have created separate FrameMaker documents that cross-reference each other. At a point, the links were working in the generated PDFs (Named Destinations and Generate Actobat Data are selected). Now, none of them work. (I have now added crossreferences to the master pages, but don't think this has

If your headers and footers include titles or headings as well as the chapter number, you do need to get at least a little "fancy" with the Running H/F variables to account for the fact that different tags are often used for titles of chapters vs. prefaces vs. appendixes vs. glossaries. You at lea

Using WMFs files in PDFs can cause all sorts of problems, particularly with all or part of the WMF disappearing unexpectedly. In my experience, switching from WMF to EPS eliminates the problems. An aside: The only time I use WMF now is if I need to give the graphics to folks who don't have the to

Combining everything into one template may sound like a good idea, but there are a lot of tradeoffs involved for little (if any) real benefit. It *can* be worthwhile to have standardized character catalogs and paragraph catalogs across all your documents, but one advantage of the FrameMaker docu

Hi Orly, Sometimes Frame doesn't handle text, fonts, and numbers placed inside a graphic from Corel, PS, or any graphics program. Here are a couple of things I've tried in this instance. 1.) Import the graphic into Frame, then add the numbers in a text box. This solution depends on where you nee
