? at the beggining of  each line of TOC when I save to pdf?

When I save a Framemaker 11 file to pdf I get a question mark inside of the > character at the beginning of each line of the generated table of contents in the pdf file. I have done everything that I can think of and can't get rid of it.

The right angle bracket is FrameMaker's way of representing the
invisible tab character. That's why it only shows in FM, not the PDF.
You can use Alt v s to toggle display of invisible characters. It's
usually best to leave them turned on.
The question mark is FrameMaker's way of displaying a character that
does not exist in your current font. For example, you might choose a
character to use as a bullet for each item in a list. If you later
change the paragraph to use a font that does not have that character
defined, FrameMaker can no longer display it and shows you a question
mark instead.
So I think you need to look for that character in your file and replace
it with something that will display. If it displays in FM, it should
display in the PDF. Right now, it's displaying in neither. There are two
places I can think of to look for it:
1. Choose the affected paragraph format-- for example, Heading 1-- and
look in its autonumbering properties. Someone may have assigned a
character there. If this was meant to be a bullet, insert the bullet
building block in place of whatever is there now.
2. The other place to look is on the file's reference page (Esc v R).
This is where you set up how FM content displays in generated files.
Here, the paragraph format might be called Heading1TOC, for example.

  • I did a COPY of some text from a web page, and then did a PASTE into notepad.exe (Windows). The text from each line was duplicated -- on the line! Instead of "Fred", it became "Fred Fred".

    I just recently installed Firefox for the first time. It seems nice and quick. The version is reported as: "10.0.1".
    I wanted to save some text from a web page, so navigated to that page, selected the text, and pressed the Control-C combination to COPY the selected text to the buffer. For example, the text I selected looked something like this:
    Harry
    Ron
    Hermione
    Hagrid
    Albus
    NOTE: Each line of text has a small icon to the left of the text.
    It is not reasonable to COPY and PASTE each line individually, as there can be hundreds of lines of data. I recall, however, that
    doing a COPY and PASTE on this data into Microsoft's Excel will produce cells which have the icons included in the cell, but unfortunately one cannot can't get rid of them! At least I've never found a way to remove them, but that's another issue. :)
    Once I'd done the COPY operation I switched to a Notepad window and did a PASTE operation. To my surprise, the text from each line was duplicated. It looked like this:
    Harry Harry
    Ron Ron
    Hermione Hermione
    Hagrid Hagrid
    Albus Albus
    Thinking that there might be something unusual about the web page I looked at the source, but it appeared "normal" -- that is, as expected.
    Note: I have done this operation several times before, and have never seen this occur before.
    Note: In the actual data some of the lines have quoted text in them. Curiously there is weird behavior on these lines. In some cases the entire line is shown only once. (These occur at the top of the line, and the quoted text is at the beginning of the name.)
    When quoted text appears "later" in the name, in some cases the quoted text is duplicated, and in other cases the quoted text is missing altogether! I have also noticed an error with the quoted text, and so will be reporting that to the web site which generates the HTML.
    Note that each line of "text" is "anchor text", so if I click on a name the browser navigates to a page for that name.
    I believe that the problem is that the COPY operating in Firefox is not simply copying the visible text, but also the ALT=
    Below is a sample of what the source HTML looks like:
    <a class="lnk" target="_blank" href="http://details.aspx?id=Harry">
    <img width="16" height="16" alt="Harry" class="tb_icon" src="http://.../Harry.gif"/>
    <span>Harry</span></a>
    <br/>
    (Because of the true length of the lines in the source HTML, I have stripped out the actual URL of the site.)
    To make sure I wasn't imaging this difference I repeated the process within Internet Explorer. In that browser I did not get duplicated data.

  • Adding a pipe character '|' at the end of each line

    How can I add a '|' at the end of each line in a text file?
    Please provide an example.
    TIA

    Using Readers and Writers are often a better choice for text: they are designed for character-based I/O, handling different character set encodings and thus more easily localizable.
    BufferedReader and PrintWriter are buffered which in many cases will increase performance.
    These classes also provide line-oriented methods, readLine() and println(), which will handle end-of-line delimiters in a platform-independant way.
    BufferedReader in = null ;
    PrintWriter out = null ;
    try {
        in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("infile.txt")) ;
        out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("outfile.txt")) ;
        String line ;
        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
            out.print(line) ;
            out.println('|') ;
        out.flush() ;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        System.err.println("problem opening file for read: "+e) ;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.err.println("problem reading file: "+e) ;
    } finally {
        try {
            if (out != null) out.close() ;
            if (in  != null) in.close() ;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("problem closing files: "+e) ;
    }

  • Given a multi-line string I want to append a string constant to the beginning of each line.

    Thankyou.

    You could just use "search and replace" with the search string being "\n" (in \codes display) and the replace string as "constant\n". (See attached image).
    If the string you want at the beginning of each line is variable (e.g. line number), you should use e.g. "pick line" or "scan strings for tokens" in a loop, then rebuild the new string.

  • How to put a space (not tab) in the beggining of a line on Dreamweaver?

    Hello everybody,
    I'm editing a site using photoshop and  dreamweaver, the problem is that photoshop does'nt paste formatted text so I had to appeal to Dreaweaver. The problem is that when I paste my word text (paste  especial - full formatting) all the format stuff is right, but the beggining of the some lines (which have some spaces in word) doesn't have spaces in Dreamweaver.  How can I do that? I'm asking  that because I know you can tab the line, but the tab size is too large for me, is there any way to  get it lower? And there's a way of don't put new lines  on or under the  tabbed text (Dreamweaver does that)?

    In the Code view use:
    <code>"nbsp;"</code>
    exactly as it is written above.  It will put a NonBreakingSPace (NBSP) into the text.  Each "<code> </code> " that you put equals one letter space depending on which font you use.  It is the same as placing multiple spaces with the spacebar when you use it multiple times.

  • In Illustrator CS5, how can I scale down the length of each line in a selection rather than the selection as a whole?

    For example, suppose that I have selected the three lines in the image A below.  From a right-click > Transform > Scale... > Uniform (70%), I can produce B.  However I would like to produce C, in which each line is scaled down by 70%.  (Of course, I could do this by selecting and scaling down each line individually.  However my images have thousands of lines, so an individual approach is not really feasible.)

    Go to Object > Transform > Transform Each, then in the Scale section set both Horizontal and Vertical to 70 %.
    Edit: Of course, you must first select the lines that you want to scale!

  • How can I eliminate automatic "quotation marks" that are appearing at the end of each line?

    I keep getting "quotation marks" at the end of every line when I type. How can I eliminate these marks as they are even showing up when I print and I will not have on my wedding programs! Please help (from a desperate bride-to-be)!

    It sounds like you are using an East Asian font and unless you are issuing invitations in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean that doesn't sound like a good idea.

  • Line space removed when selecting save or print options

    I created a form in CS3, converted to PDF in Pro 9 and filled-in the text.  I edited the form to include additional information, and now each time I select "Save" or "Print" option the line spaces I entered are removed as though there is some compression feature that's doing this. This also happens if I click on the form outside the text box with any tool..Does anybody have a suggestion or answer for me?  If you'd like to be placed on the list of my most favorite people, I'd appreciaate your response!

    Are you sure this is happening when you print to PDF?
    And not, later, when you print the PDF?
    What print scaling do you choose in Adobe Reader/Acrobat?

  • Why does the bar code look "chubby" when I save to PDF?

    Hi, I'm designing a book cover for a client in Illustrator, and it has a bar code on the back of it. When I save the file as an .ai or a .png or .jpeg, it appears fine. But when I save the file as a .pdf (which my client will be viewing, and for print), the bar code looks like the lines have gotten bigger or run together! It's really weird...no matter which preset I use, it appears like this (I've attached a screenshot). I've also tried the "flatten transparency" and converting the numbers to outlines, but they still tend to distort when the pdf is viewed.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this, or why this might be happening? It scares the client when they see it....
    The lines in the picture are MUCH thicker than the actual bar code, and some appear to have blended together.

    Hi Mike,
    In the Preferences area of Adobe Reader, go to the Page Display tab, and
    make sure that "Enhance thin lines" is unchecked. That seemed to solve
    most of my problems with the type! Hope that works for you too!

  • Why do I get white lines surrounding transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Vers

    Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
    I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
    I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

    PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.
