RE: ZapfDingbats error message but ZD not used in files

I have had that error message when importing XML files in FrameMaker 8.0p277, and it appears that one of FrameMaker's structured documents (for entity formats?) hasn't been updated for a while. To resolve the error message: 1. Launch FrameMaker and select File Open Specify the file:

Can FrameMaker versions 9 and 7.1 co-exist on the same machine?

Hi everyone, My company is thinking about purchasing FrameMaker 9. We currently use FrameMaker 7.1. Management would like writers to have both versions on their machines as the transition is made, if possible. I don't anticipate actually running the two versions at the same time. Are there

Re: Can FrameMaker versions 9 and 7.1 co-exist on the same machine?

I've installed two different versions with no problems in the past. Just specify different install directories. On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 9:51 AM, Duncan, Gary gary.dun...@kronos.com wrote: Hi everyone, My company is thinking about purchasing FrameMaker 9. We currently use FrameMaker 7.1.

Yes you can run multiple versions of FM on the same machine, but only the latest copy of Distiller. Make sure that you clean out all versions of Distiller before installing the new one. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com

Re: Can FrameMaker versions 9 and 7.1 co-exist on the same machine?

Hi Gary I've got Fm 9, 8, 7.2, 7.0 and 6, all on the same computer (XP, SP3). And sometimes, I've got multiple versions running at the same time. No problems here. Just make sure you test Save as/Print to PDF. This may be a problem, depending on your version of Acrobat. Cheers -- Yves Barbion

Gary, I've got 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 9.0 on my virtualized Windows XP machine with no issues. I run several plug-ins including FrameScript and PatternStream in each version (also without issue). Thanks, Brad On Mar 23, 2010, at 8:51 AM, Duncan, Gary wrote: Hi everyone, My company is

Odd Numbering Scenario

Hi all, I am experiencing an odd problem with numbering. I have two types of chapter numbers: appendices and regular chapters. The appendices are numbered by letters (A, B, C, D) and the regular chapters are numbered numerically (1,2,3). L:n+.n=0 =0 =0 =0\t A:Appendix A+: =0 =0 =0 =0 In

RE: Odd Numbering Scenario

Hi Joseph, It appears you are using the pre-FM6 method of chapter numbering. I say this because I don't see the $chapnum variable in your autonumber strings. Here's the solution for the Appendices, and the same logic will also fix your chapters. Replace your A+ with a $chapnum and then control

Can you put a fillable PDF in a Frame document?

Helpful beings, I am documenting a product that requires some planning before implementing. I developed some nifty forms using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. I am making the forms available as a separate package on the documentation CD as well as the company support site. Customers can fill in the

RE: Can you put a fillable PDF in a Frame document?

Hi Jenny, When you import the PDF files into FrameMaker, they will be treated as static graphics with no interactivity. The only way I know of to do this is to create your forms in FrameMaker. Then you add Hypertext markers using MicroType's TimeSavers with Forms Assistant; you add special codes

translating into Icelandic and Serbian?

Using Frame9, DITA. A client translates into Icelandic and Serbian (among many other languages) but these are the only two that do not have corresponding Language values. What should be my approach--should I select the closest available language (that being a gray area, I fear) or is

Re: Can you put a fillable PDF in a Frame document?

Thanks, Rick. You've saved me a lot of time trying different things. This project doesn't warrant spending that much of my own money (I buy all my own software) and I don't think my client would want me to spend time to re-create the forms in Frame, so this won't work for me for this project,

I am not quite sure I understand you correctly, but then just respond accordingly. You will not find anything approximating Icelandic. You can set the quotes to German quotes. That is the Icelandic convention too. I don't have FM9. I tried FM8 a couple of years ago, but it was too limited, and I
