FrameMaker 8 and WWP 2003 interworking problems

Hello all,
we have previously been using FM6 in conjunction with WWP2003 to produce HTML output. Due to new requirements we are facing the update to FM8 and encounter problems. Evidently FM files cannot be used at all to produce HTML output in WWP and if we import MIF files instead, then output is generated but many special characters are missing.
Is this a known problem, or are there perhaps updates available for WWP (I have not found any)? I think that moving to WWeP will not be an option. Any comments would be helpful because we have to determin whether the current workflow is possible at all under FM8.

Robert,
You might have better luck asking at the WWP users list over on Yahoo - http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users/
My recommendation would be to dump WWP and go with mif2go.

Problem for synchronizing calendars between my iPOD 30GB and OUTLOOK 2003

Hello,
I arrive to synchronize my contacts between my iPOD and OUTLOOK 2003 via iTunes, but not the calendars.
Thank you for your help

If you have EVER sync'd Outlook 2003 with a PDA then iTunes will throw an error when trying to sync Calendars.
THE FIX:
Delete all calendar entries
(an easy way to do this is in Calendar select VIEW > Arrange By > Current View > Events)
Then Delete all entries by highlighting them all right click and select delete!
NOTE: You may have to repeat VIEW > ARRANGE By > Current View > {other categories in list i.e. "Category" and/or "Annual Events" and/or "Recurring Appointments"} To find all the entries that need to be deleted.
Once all of the calendar data is deleted you can re-input the data, but you can never sync it with a PDA otherwise you will develop the original problem again.
WHY DOES THIS WORK? Simply when a PDA syncs with Outlook it places a unique hidden identifer on each entry which screws up iTunes ability to sync with your calendars.
Hope this is clear and helps someone.

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking and winword 2003

Hi all,
I got some problems using webutil_host and winword 2003.
As i open a document with winword in blocking mode, works well if word is not already open.
Eg if word is already open it dunot do the blocking stuff, and go back to forms immediatly.
here is the code :
LC$Cmd := 'cmd /c start "" /WAIT "winword.exe'||'" '|| Path_vima;
Ret := WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking( LC$Cmd ) ;
fms_message('back from call');
LN$But := WEBUTIL_HOST.Get_return_Code( Ret ) ;
If LN$But <> 0 Then
Set_Alert_Property( 'AL_ERREUR', TITLE, 'Host() command' ) ;
End if ;
So if winword is not open on client -> it works well
if winword already open -> it dunot block and display fms_message('back from call');
Plz Help :)
Thanks
PS : this work perfectly with Excel ....

Ok seems that dunot work even if not using forms.
as launch a cmd like cmd /c start /WAIT winword
it wait the close of winword to continue execution
but if i launch winword first and than try a
cmd /c start /WAIT winword
it open a second winword but dunot wait for word to be close.....
that's to bad .
I'll try look at MS forum

Acrobat Reader XI and Outlook 2003

After upgrading the Acrobat Reader on our Citrix-Servers with Windows 2003 and Outlook 2003, it is not possible to send pdf from Acrobat Reader via E-Mail. When we select the function to send the document per mail (with the default mail programm), the focus switches to Outlook (when started), but no mail with the pdf-file as attachment is opened.
On a system with Outlook 2007, there are no problems.
Is Acrobat XI not compatible with Outlook 2003 anymore? Is it a problem only in combination with Windows 2003 or Citrix?
Is anybody able to get this to work in a similar environment?
Thanks for any help.
Rgds.

This is a known issue with Outlook 2003 and will be fixed in the next patch.

FrameMaker 8 and Acrobat 9

I had a FrameMaker file that has gone through several revisions. In its
last revision it accidentally had an older version of a pdf file created
on a Mac on one of the pages. The FrameMaker file distilled fine with
Acrobat 8 but had issues under Acrobat 9. The error was:
> %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
> %%[Page: 1]%%
> %%[Page: 2]%%
> %%[Page: 3]%%
> %%[ Error: undefinedresource; OffendingCommand: findresource; ErrorInfo: DictCRC --nostringval-- ]%%
>
> Stack:

> /1
> /CSA
> -mark-
> -save-
>
>
> %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
> %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The pdf file seemed to be a nice pdf that Acrobat 9 (under Windows) had
no issues with. However, regenerating the pdf file seemed to cure the
issue and had the advantage that all the graphics on the page which was
a software demonstration now are showing the Windows application output
rather than the some Mac application and some Windows application output.
Alls well that ends well I suppose.

I had a problem in FrameMaker 8 and Acrobat 8 with embedding Flash Files
into Acrobat via FrameMaker. Embedding into the pdf was not reliable.
Sometimes the swf would work, sometimes it wouldn't. It appears that
embedding from Frame 8 through Acrobat 9 is more reliable. At least in
the first few files that I've used (which are basically the same files I
previously used. As to why re-pdf the same Frame files---purely for
testing purposes.

Locate link browser window in Windows 7 and Outlook 2003

Every time I click on a link in an email in Outlook, a "locate link browser" window appears. There's a lot of help on the web to fix it for Win XP, but those steps don't appear to work for Windows 7.
Here are some URL's of what I've tried already:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/821692
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/firefox.htm
(Some of these link refer to the DDE options in the advanced settings, but in Windows 7, the Control Panel's "Set Associations" screen doesn't have any advanced options.)
The "locate link browser" window is asking for an exe file... so, I pointed the "locate link browser" window to "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe" and the window isn't coming up anymore, but it just launches IE and my home page... not the link that was in the email. I also tried setting the default browser as Firefox (using the Control Panel's "Set Associations") . That works fine. the links from Outlook emails open fine in Firefox, but when I switch the default browser for the HTTP protocol (using the Control Panel's "Set Associations") back to IE, it goes back to launching IE and my home page and not the link that was in the email.
Any idea on how to resolve this?

My wife has a VAIO desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium and Outlook 2003... and I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Outlook 2003. I've never switched my default browser away from IE. But her computer recently developed the Link
Browser issue and I suspect it occurred when one of our daughters switched association of the default browser to Chrome. About a week ago, I switched it back to IE. But the problem has continued.
1) The .htm and .html associations on her computer are set to IE
2) The default browser is back to IE
3) The link in the preview pane of the email message does not work (it brings up Link Browser)
but if you "forward" the message into a message window and then use CTRL+left-click on the same hyperlink, the link works.
There must be secondary association coding that pertains only to the preview pane of Outlook 2003 which gets disrupted by the switch to another default browser... and which does not get reset when you revert to IE.
Does that help someone who can pinpoint the change needed to remove this annoying problem?

Business Package for Communication with NW04 and Exchange 2003?

Hi, we are evaluating opportunities to realize a groupware integration in the SAP Portal EP60SP2. A upgrade to Netweaver is planned, so the possible solution should work with Netweaver too. Our Exchange version is 2003.
I'm thinking about the standard SAP Groupware-Integration in combination with the Business Package for Communication.
Has anyone expirences with the Business Package for communication, Netweaver and Exchange 2003, yet?
I know, it's not officially supported, but maybe it works.
With the OWA-iViews we've got problems to implement our Styleguide and to devide into different iViews. The informations shown in the iViews of the Business Package are adequate and we would save ActiveX.
Is there another solution that works?
Are there other iViews from 3rd party developers, that show Outlook informations? Has anyone realized something like this in a project yet?
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
Please note that the Business Package for Communication was only available for SAP EP 5.0. Newer releases of SAP EP contain the groupware (GW) functionalities and some GW iViews automatically as soon as KM is installed with the EP. The integration with MS Exchange 2003 should work. If you look for iViews such as Send EMail, Create Appointment, Show availability and Room Calendar, you can use the iViews shipped by SAP. If however you need the EMail inbox or the personal calendar and tasks, then the native OWA iViews are the way to go. For further details please refer to the SAP NetWeaver admin guide http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0c/30d624a0fae949902f7a4b2a8f98bd/frameset.htm.
Hope that helps

FrameMaker 10 and Save as PDF

Why does it take so long to produce a PDF when you use Save as PDF? I was running prior, FrameMaker 8 and on XP platform. I still use XP, but it takes a long time before the PDF is produced. Is there a patch/update/something that will speed this performance?

Can Framemaker 12 save files down in Framemaker 11 and 10 ? Is it backward compatible?

Can Framemaker 12 save files down in Framemaker 11 and 10 ? Is it backward compatible?
Thanks,

> Times New Roman ... you’re probably using the Unicode version of it ...
Port a legacy font from the FM7 machine to the FM12 machine, such as Type1 Times, and convert the document to that on the FM12 machine.
This may not completely solve the problem, as FM8 and later, when opening a pre-FM8 document, appears to convert some things to Unicode code points (even to the point of synthesizing a Unicode encoding of a legacy font, see Re: Adding the Trademark symbol to a document). Saving back to MIF7 probably does not convert the code points back, and FM7 may well complain, or crash, or something.
If the problem is limited to certain special characters, like ™, there may be work-arounds, like invoking them only as Variables.
This Unicode border between FM7.2 and FM8 may prove to be one-way for many documents, rather like the spikes at the exit of rental car lots. Do not back up. Extreme document damage may result.

If you already have IIS web server running, you need to run the LabVIEW web server on a different port to avoid conflicts. It probably won't start because the port 80 is already in use.
Check options.."Web Server: Configuration" within LabVIEW.

What is the right CMS for FrameMaker 11 and DITA?

Hello,
I am looking for a good CMS for FrameMaker 11. I already tried componize for Alfresco, but it does not solve our problems. Some important requirements are:
- comfortable editor which can be easily used by authors without XML/DITA/FrameMaker-knowledge
- creating DITA-imagemaps (CMS editor)
- creating DITA-templates without special knowledge or using FrameMaker-templates without problems
In componize it was possible to download DITA-maps and open them in FrameMaker. But I don`t know how to format a whole DITA-map in FrameMaker - is it possible? Because it wouldn´t be very comfortable to format every single topic by using an EDD..
Another idea was to import the whole DITA-map to RoboHelp for formatting, but it didn`t work because of a missing DITA Open Toolkit-Folder? I did download DITA Open Toolkit, but I was not able to install it. Why do I need this for RoboHelp and not for FrameMaker?
And for the templates: is there an easy way to create FrameMaker-DITA-templates? I read a lot about EDDs, R/W-rules and DTDs but it seems to be very complicated for non-experts to create all these different documents. And there are less help documents like demonstration videos to learn it on my own.
For me it seems to be like "before you are able to work with RoboHelp-FrameMaker-Templates-Outputs-CMS, learn a lot of programming languages and become an IT-specialist." - so very complicated, not comfortable, not intuitively.
A lot of questions, maybe some of you have some good ideas and solutions! Thanks

A CMS (content management system) is used for storing, retrieving, and managing files. Some CMS products are specialized for DITA. But they don't usually come with the ability to create and edit maps and topics. For that, you need a DITA editor. FrameMaker is a pretty good DITA editor (especially with the DITA-FMx plugin from Leximation).
DITA maps don't need formatting. They're simply organized collections of DITA topics. The topics do need formatting in order to deliver outputs. FrameMaker can format them for print or PDF output, and is exceptionally good for this purpose. It can't directly format DITA for other outputs. For this, FrameMaker and many other products rely on the DITA-OT, which can format DITA for many outputs, such as CHM, Eclipse, or JavaHelp (and also PDF, but without the same power as FrameMaker).
To format the topics for page output, FrameMaker uses an EDD. All DITA topics are formatted using the same EDD, and Frame does this "behind the scenes" so you usually don't have to worry about it (although you can make custom adjustments to the EDD if you want).
If you are using DITA, it's a good idea to install the DITA-OT and get it working with other products. There's a Yahoo group called dita-users where you can get help with this.
As an alternative to the DITA-OT, you might want to look at DITA2Go or DITA4Publishers.

Any known issues with Flash player 9 and windows 2003 compatibility?

Hi guys..
Is there any known compatibility problem with running flash
applications
on Windows 2003 Server?
My application runs just so well with Windows XP
yet it throws a 2015 bitmap error
when it is being run on the windows 2003 server.
(Not quite often but often enough. the only difference is the
operating
system)
Is there any known issue about this?
Or could there be any compatibility problem with flash player
and
windows 2003?
Any hints would be deeply appreciated...
Thank you...

Compact and Repair Encrpyted Database Problem

I have an MS Access 2007 accdb file that I no problems with when it is not encrypted. I can compact and repair with no problems. However, when I encrypt the database and try to compact and repair the file, I get 'invalid argument'. The
file is 101 MB, I'm not at the 2 GB limit by far. Any suspicions? This file was recently imported into 2007 from 2003 (accdb from mdb). I have had the users testing it extensively. I worked through the all of the compile errors that
the previous auther left. The problems comes once I encrypt the file again and again.

Office 2010 and Sharepoint 2003 property length limitation to 256

We recently upgrade to Office 2010 (from 2003) and we noticed a problem with our Sharepoint 2003 integration. (yes, 2003, long story why we haven't upgraded, but in short: a high customised implementation of Sharepoint).
We noticed that since the upgrade that whenever we use "Edit in Microsoft Word" on a document in Sharepoint and save the document again to Sharepoint, all sharepoint properties (metadata) of that document get cut off to 256 characters. This only happens
for doc files, not for docx files.
Anybody any idea how to resolve this or encountered the same problem? The metadata in those properties is very important to the workings of our Sharepoint portal so I really need more than 256 chars.

For earlier versions of SharePoint, this was a well known issue. Sometimes, lengthy links can come from non-IT people creating sites, sub-sites and libraries. As Stacy says, the fix may well end up being manual in that some of the links will
have to be shortened. There are, however, shortcuts for this: -
Begin by using the various ENUM commands in STSADM to get a list of sites. Identify those with large links and see how far down their site structure goes.
You can do things such as backing up and restoring sites with different / smaller URLS and renaming subsites. Removing spaces between words or characters is a good one to aim for as a space will turn in %20 in the URL
Think about using a utility, whether a commercial product's trial / express edition, or a CodePlex product to help restructure your environment.
