Hi,
Does anyone of you know if there's a FrameMaker 8 trial for Unix (Solaris)?
I looked at the Adobe web site but found no direct link on their downloads

Please advise.

1st. I would like to export unstructured Frame 7.1 paragraphs directly
into whatever TypePad uses for creating blog posts; paste in is OK.
TypePad's support FAQ'a contain nothing on Framemaker. I have about

APL, TOC, and 50
Hi Framers,
I have a cross referenced heading. The heading includes a variable that
includes a registered trademark.
The problem is that the trademark in the crossreference droops after I perform
a book update. I suspect Frame converts the character from subscript to normal

Inset Plus [sic] is free, and looks very interesting, but
the site does not indicate whether it is a product one can just inject

I've learned a lot by just following the conversations on this list, and

I've seen this before. It was caused by an empty Text Line object that
is using the character format you are trying to change or delete. You
have to find the Text Line object and delete it then you can change or

I guess this is a Distiller rather than FrameMaker problem and I seem to
have a workaround, but I would be interested to know if anyone on this list

Rebecca,
PDF/A is an ISO standard for long term preservation of documents. PDF/A
means PDF for Archiving. If your document doesn't meet the standards, for
instance, if it lacks a required ID field in the trailer dictionary, it
won't meet validity tests and no PDF will be produced.

Ted,
You should be able to simply copy-and-paste anything from a Frame file
directly into any other program. I'm not familiar with TypePad, but if
it's a Windows program it should take stuff from the Clipboard.
If you're asking about converting the entire book to text... first, I
wouldn't bother
I don't believe that UNIX trials have been available for some time.
In any case, you won't find an FM 8 version anywhere because 9 is the
current release.

Neither here nor there. Sometimes it's easier to reference by a single
char, but ultimately this is a PDF and is searchable with a dynamic
TOC.

Why on earth would you have blank PDF page? Who's going to take it,
print it, and bind it, and then use only the printout?
