FM layout causing inconsistency when printing a PDF?

dow. The downside is that this is something you have to tell your customers to do, because Adobe did not exactly advertise this clumsiness. Hopefully this has been solved in later versions of Acrobat. HTH, Bodvar Bjorgvinsson On 5/31/07, Rene Stephenson wrote: > All, > > We have a quick ref

Does anyones have an EDD for the Bible?

this could be done, especially if quotation marks are just typed and not relying on an element or an attribute (maybe attributes may be used for opening and closing quotes, etc.). Am I over my head in this? Please respond on or off the list. Bodvar Bjorgvinsson Iceland

Need Icelandic Hyphenation (and dict)

2007-06-20 Thread Bodvar Bjorgvinsson
FrameMaker seems rather limited in offering language support. Icelandic hyphenation rules are basically: 1. Between compound words (auto-matic) 2. Before a vowel. But both rules are subjects to exceptions, but I think that all in all Icelandic hyphenation rules are rather simple. My question is:

I think you must all be hinting that the final EDD will be rock solid! ;-) Actually the last joke about the tablets fits in Icelandic too. I may even have heard it with God as the adviser -- which also gives a deeper meaning to the joke. -- Is it Friday already? Bodvar On 6/20/07, Lin Surasky

missing fonts

If you save the file as MIF and search that, then you got a flat file (Document, Master Ref. pages all in one), easy to search -- and replace -- in a fairly good text editor (TextPad, ConText, jEdit, etc.). Bodvar On 6/18/07, Rene Stephenson wrote: > FM Console does show the font name(s) that

Although it is good practice to use variables for this, from what you say, I would think that you would only need to open one of the files of the book and do the change in there. Then just highlight the rest of the files in the book file and do File > Import > Formats and just choose what you need
