FM8: Bookmarks problem

Hello List, I'm having a problem with PDF generation from unstructured FM8. I'm trying to build a sub-book at the moment for tech reviewers, consisting of a front page, a generated TOC and five chapters, in that order. Bookmarks generation is selected and it is set up to make bookmarks for a

RE: FM8: Bookmarks problem

I think you are runnign up against one of FrameMaker's undocumented features. When you generate a PDF, FrameMaker passes bookmark data to Acrobat for all the tag names that are set in the book file's PDF Setup, *plus* data for any additional tags in a specific chapter if that chapter's

OT: Does anyone have an old InDesign template folder?

Framers, I'm teaching myself InDesign CS5, and as of version CS4, Adobe no longer provides a folder of sample templates. When I taught myself Framemaker 200 years ago, I found their well-designed templates to be an excellent point of reference and helped me make better decisions about the

Carol, you can also use this as a resource: http://goo.gl/n3ApU. There appear to be more than 130 free templates at the site. And you may find some useful free templates beyond Adobe here: http://goo.gl/EV14r. HTH, Jim -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com

Trying to output to HTML 5 ...

Hi, all. I was wondering what (if anything) people are doing to output books (words and significant amount of graphical images too) in HTML 5 format. Either from FrameMaker (usual FM books) or from Acrobat Pro X (from PDF files). I believe that I will not get the special features in HTML 5

Re: Beginning new project based on book files from previous project

If you rename a file, cross-references to that file will break. IMHO, you shouldn't put the version number in a file name. There is no reason to do that. The best alternative is to put the new files, with the same names, in a new directory and be happy. Otherwise you'll have to fix the

RE: Beginning new project based on book files from previous project

Thanks to Richard Combs, Steve Johnson and Rick Quattro for helpful insights. We're all in agreement that the version-specific naming structure within each book project is not a good thing -- I'm going to try to get our department to go back to the old way we did it before someone (not I!) got

Keeping document window fit to page

When I open a file in FM 9, the document window is always very wide and sometimes shows two pages. The second page is hidden beneath the pods in my workspace and can't be seen. I set Fit Window to Page in the zoom menu. In the View-Options menu, I set Page Scrolling to Vertical. This solves the

PDFs having a mixture of A4 and A3 page sizes

Dear all I was recently asked to test whether we could produce a PDF with mixed page sizes. I did some experimentation with a colleague using Framemaker 7.2 and Acrobat 8/9, to find out if I could. The results were: 1) All chapters except one had their master page size set to A4,

Re: Keeping document window fit to page

Susan, are you working in structured or unstructured FM? According to Scott Prentice in this post, the magnification is saved in the file, but not in XML files: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2010-April/020048.html Scott also mentions some plug-ins that might be of use to you.

Claire, there was another thread recently that had a similar theme. Maybe your answer is in there: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2011-June/023385.html Nadine On 07/07/2011 10:32 AM, Wood, Claire (GE Oil Gas) wrote: Dear all I was recently asked to test whether we could
