Setting FM 2019 Publish Location

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I have FM 2019 version 15.0.1.430. How do I set the Publish pod to save my PDF to the same location as the current book file?

 

When I Publish to PDF, a folder is created from the book filename, and in that folder a subfolder is created for PDF, and the PDF is put there. I don't want all that drek.

 

I want the PDF to be placed in the same folder as the current book.

 

I also notice that if I open a second book from a different location than the first book, the Publish pod seems to place the output PDF of the second book in the subfolders for the first book and not the second book, which is a pain.

 

Thoughts?

How Can I Set Up PDF Display from FM 2019?

Using FM 2019 all patched up.

 

How do I preset PDF properties I create from FM, such as Magnification set to Fit Page?

 

Also, how do I publish an optimized PDF from FM? For example, I just published a PDF from FM that was 15 MB and then I optimized it in Acrobat IX Pro and the file is now 1.5 MB. I would prefer that FM just create the 1.5 MB PDF in the first place.

 

Cheers,

Hello

 

I want to create the XML file by getting the table data from the Framemaker Document using FDK2019.

 

can you please suggest me how I can create the XML file with that data?

 

I appreciate any help!

FrameMaker 2017 - Unable to Use Space Under Table/Table Anchor Separates from Table

$
0
0

I did not create this documentation originally, so I am not familiar with any buried setting(s) that may be causing this issue. Please refer to the image below and the description that follows.

 

 

The top of the image shows the majority of the table and the bottom of the image shows the table continuation onto the next page. However, when the table continues onto the next page, the table caption gets pushed down to the beginning of the following page, even with plenty of room under the table. Not included in the image is the table anchor tag completely separating from the table and creating a new page to itself. I was able to fix the table anchor issue by setting the table to start a Top of Page, but I am lost on the other issue.

 

If anyone knows why this formatting issue is occurring, please let me know!

 

Thanks! 

Does FrameMaker INI file still control the how many levels in TOC?

$
0
0

Time for my daily FrameMaker DITA question.
Does the INI file still control the depth of the TOC? I have an INI file calling for three levels in the TOC:

 

Template=TOCTpl.fm

ElementTags=

ParaTags=title.0|title.1|title.2

 

When I build my PDF file I get all headings plus Figure numbers and Tasks (step 1)

 

The reason I ask is that more of the PDF output is controlled via the Publish > PDF > Settings File.

I am still not clear what is controlled by the INI file and what is controlled by the Settings file.

FM13 HTML5 Publisher Triggers Event Script

$
0
0

Hello fellows,

 

I have a registered event extendscript that is normally triggered upon opening a MIF file. The script automatically saves the MIF file in a certain location, closes the MIF and opens the FM file.

Surprisingly, when publishing HTML5, the script is triggered, both when the publisher tries to retrieve the styles used in the book files and when running the conversion to HTML5. There is no way to stop script execution/publisher except for killing Framemaker.

 

Does Framemaker save files as MIF when trying to map FM styles to HTML and when converting to HTML5? Sounds like a bug to me.

 

Thanks for your input in advance!

How to integrate a customized DITA-OT PDF-Plugin into FrameMaker 2019?

$

I'd like to publish DITA-XML files using a customized DITA-OT PDF-Plugin.

 

This is what I've done already:

 

  1. Create a customized DITA-OT PDF-Plugin (called myPlugin) using http://dita-generator.elovirta.com
  2. Integrate myPlugin into the DITA-OT.
  3. Try to publish a Test.xml file via the command line. -> It works.
  4. Try to publish the same file via FrameMaker 2019. -> It doesn't work.

 

The log file tells me:

BUILD FAILED

%DITA_DIR%\build.xml: "myPlugin" is not a recognized transformation type. Supported transformation types are common-html, docbook, eclipsecontent, eclipsehelp, html5, htmlhelp, javahelp, odt, pdf, pdf2, tocjs, troff, wordrtf, xhtml.

 

Do I have to register a new DITA-OT PDF-Plugin in FM 2019?

Or what did I miss?

When running FrameMaker 2019 on Win7 - 64 bit, I keep getting these error messages when working. I can make themm go away for a short time by saving to mif, and reopening and saving as fm, but the errors keep coming back a bit later. I can't figure out what is happening.

Any advise? ...

Publish pod file location fixes

$
0
0

From *my* usability perspective (YMMV), two things bother me about the Publish to PDF pod.

 

1) Source document doesn't switch to the active document. So, I have document AA.fm open and publish it to PDF, but BB.pdf is created from BB.fm, because that's the file in the Source Document field and it must be manually changed, or so it seems.

 

2) Output folder should default to the location of the source document. So, I select AA.fm as my source document and publish it to PDF, but I can't find the file because it published in the BB.fm folder, because I hadn't manually changed that. This annoyance is worse than item 1).

 

3) Having to track a settings file is just bothering me. Best practice advice on this would be appreciated.

Font Issue when creating pdf from FrameMaker 10

$

Hello,

 

I use FrameMaker 10 with one of my clients and he wants me to use the same fonts as the original Pdf.

 

For most of the fonts it's ok, But when I create the Pdf on my computer I have The "Helvetica-BoldOblique" (Type 1) missing.

It seems to be replaced by "Helvetica, BoldItalic" (True Type).

 

Please can you tell me how to fix this ?

PS : I do have Helvetica-BoldOblique  installed.

 

Thanks

 

 

Bonjour,

J'utilise  FrameMaker 10 avec un de mes clients et il tient à ce que j'utilise le même Polices que sur le pdf original.

 

La pluspart des polices sont ok. Mais quand je créé le PDF sur mon PC "Helvetica-BoldOblique" (Type 1) disparait.

J'ai l'impression qu'elle est remplacée par "Helvetica, BoldItalic" (True Type).

 

Comment faire pour que mes polices soient identiques au PDF original ?

 

Merci

TOC - page width issue

Hello all,

 

I've an issue where the TOC entries in a generated .pdf are being truncated.  So far, I've played around a bit with page layout and text frame size as well as tab stops but no luck.  Here is a composite showing a screenshot from FM and one from Adobe reader.  Note how the chapter/page is not showing in reader.

Framemaker 2019 messing up image properties, why?

$
0
0

This was working as expected in FM8 from whence my application is migrating. In FM2019 certain images are being scaled without notification.

 

Our XML contains img elements which have a number of attributes: srcpath, height, width, dpi, optional caption. Because of the caption, when an XML document is opened in Frame a pre-processor stylesheet wraps images in a wrapper element which is given the caption, while the other attributes remain on the img element.

 

Our read-write rules file contains

element "img"

{

  is fm graphic element;

  writer facet default specify size in pt;

  attribute "src" is fm property file;

  fm property import by reference or copy value is "ref";

  fm property alignment value is "acenter";

  fm property position value is "below";

  fm property horizontal offset value is "0pt";

  fm property vertical offset value is "0pt";

  attribute "height" is fm property height;

  attribute "width" is fm property width;

  attribute "dpi" is fm property dpi;

}

and the pre-processor stylesheet includes

<xsl:template match="img">

  <wrapper>

    <xsl:if test="@caption">

      <xsl:attribute name="caption">

        <xsl:value-of select="@caption" />

      </xsl:attribute>

    </xsl:if>

    <xsl:element name="img">

      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*[local-name() != 'caption']" />

    </xsl:element>

  </wrapper>

</xsl:template>

 

The post-processor stylesheet drops the wrapper and restores any caption to the img.

 

If I open a document which contains two images

<img src="medium.png" height="350pt" width="245pt" dpi="72">

<img src="large.png" height="146pt" width="823pt" dpi="72">

 

then (without any message in the console), the medium image will be displayed at its expected size, but the large image is displayed considerably smaller.

Checking the object properties in Frame I can see medium.png is width 8.643 cm, height 12.347 cm, scaling 100%, dpi 72 dpi. But large.png is width 6.968 cm, height 1.236 cm, scaling 24%, dpi 300 dpi.

And if I save the document then the resultant XML has been changed so that the images are now

<img src="medium.png" height="350pt" width="245pt" dpi="72">

<img src="large.png" height="146pt" width="792pt" dpi="300">

 

It looks like any image which exceeds 792pt in width at any dpi is rescaled to 792pt wide, 300dpi, so those values appear to be significant. I haven't found a complementary rescaling because of excessive height, but perhaps none of our images are actually tall enough to trigger it.

 

Can anyone explain what is going on, please? And how I can stop this happening?

How to adjust and save text formatting?

$
0

I am able to adjust the formatting for both the bullet and text separately using the tab stops in the Ruler. However, I have added a different Bullet 2 type to be used and can't adjust the text separately as there is no tab stop unless I click Tab. However, this doesn't apply the changes to all other Bullet 2 types, even when click Update Style. We need to be able to save the formatting with the text appropriately spaced out, like Bullet 1, so that every time we add that bullet type, the appropriate spacing appears.

 

 

 

Acrobat Not Licensed with Technical Communication Suite?

Grr. Have Technical Communication Suite 2017. Supposedly comes with Acrobat DC. Worked fine at first, but after 30 days Acrobat says I need to buy. I enter my serial number for the Technical Communication Suite, but it's rejected. What's going on? Surely Adobe Technical Communication Suite comes with a professional-grade PDF editor.
