Can changes to a FrameMaker document be tracked by date?

If there are changes to conditional text in FrameMaker, can they be tracked by author and date? The goal is to create a log of changes that my group can reference.
Thank you!

FM can generate a List or an Index of the conditions (called References), so if you set a new condition for specific edits in a document, then those conditions can be tracked. It might get messy and be a bit of a maintenance chore to keep these things straight. Also, conditions have to be manually applied.
Author changes (including the date) are automatically tracked using the Track Text Edits option. The author (username from the system login) and date of a change shows in the document Status bar, e.g.
Unfortunately, FM doesn't have a default listing for the tracking info, but this info would be accessible via Extendscript, so you could have a custom script created to track/list all of these changes in a report. Note: if the changes are accepted or rejected, then the tracking info is lost.

  • How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

    If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
    After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
    This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
    In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

    Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

  • Changing Linked FrameMaker Document File Path

    I have moved my FrameMaker document to a new directory. Can I update the file path to the document so that the files are updated correctly? I have checked the property settings for the linked project and it appears that I cannot change the file path. Is my only option to link to the file in the new directory and remove the existing project? If so, will that destroy my existing TOC?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, before posting my question this morning I tried the route you suggested and the result was repeated crashes and error messages. Here is what I did:
    I removed the original linked FrameMaker file.
    I restored the links to point to the new file.
    This resulted in the aforementioned behavior.  I did not try updating the indvidual chapters  - the RoboHelp appplication kept flashing and crashing.
    For the record, I am using the latest version of RoboHelp 8 and FrameMaker 9. They are both part of TCS 1.3.
    I will try the update again and will let you know if it is successful. Thank you again for the suggestions. 

  • Comparing documents with Track Changes on

    We're currently using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with Word 2003 (11.8307.8221) SP3.
    We create PDFs with Track Changes on (showing).
    We're testing and will soon be implementing Acrobat 9.1.3
    Here's the issue:
    We have a large number (10,000+ documents) created in Word, with Track Changes showing.
    We create a PDF using Acrobat 8.1.6.
    As long as we continue using Acrobat 8.1.6 we can compare documents with Track Changes on.
    However, now we're moving to Acrobat 9.1.3.
    We can open these existing documents, and edit them (delete pages, add comments, etc.) but when we try to compare an 8.1.6 file that has Track Changes on, we're getting an error message:
    "These dots conform to PDF/A standards and do not allow editing. Please modify PDF/A secumenttings to allow editing and try again."
    In Word, our Adobe PDF settings DO NOT HAVE "Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file" checked (for kicks we tried it with this option on and off...same results). We have also DISABLED "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF."
    This is only an issue taking 8.1.6 files into 9.1.3. If we create a PDF in 9.1.3 with Track Changes on, we have no problems. It appears to be a disconnect with 8.1.6 and 9.1.3.
    I've gone through the forums and the web, and cannot find this issue anywhere else.
    I can also recreate the issue at will.
    Anyone out there have any ideas? We can't recreate the old 8.1.6 PDFs in 9.1.3...too many files, too little time, too much trouble.
    Thank you!

    Open the old pdf in Pro 3.? using file open.  Under "Advanced" select "Preflight", under "PDF/A compliance" select "Remove PDF/A information" and save the pdf.  We had to do this to both old and new pdf's before we could compare without the mentioned error.  It sucks though, having to convert the documents and save them before compare.  Hope this helps!

  • How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

    How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

    After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
    1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
    2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
    3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
    4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
    5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
    **One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
    I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

  • How can change currency rate in clearing document

    How can change currency amount in clearing document

    Dear Michael,
    It was a User confusion with Creation Date of Invoice, Billing Date of Invoice and Posting date of Accounting Document.
    User had created Invoice on some 01.03.2009 but Kept Billing Date as 26.02.2009. So, while released Accounting Doc. on 10.03.2009 (Releasing date and not Posting Date), It gets Posted on 26.02.2009, only, and not on 10.03.2009.
    The whole confusion was:
    When User refers Document Flow (for Invoice in VF02), System shows Invoice Date as 01.03.2009, against Accounting Posting Date 26.02.2009.
    Whereas,
    When I showed FBL5N to user, BL Document and AB Document both get posted on 26.02.2009 only.
    Its Clear now.
    Best Regards,
    Amit

  • How can I change the gain on one audio track in the selection?

    How can I change the gain on one audio track in the selection? Is there a way to adjust the gain as it is implemented for example in cubase - pull waveform up and gain varies?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "in the selection", or, more honest: I don't understand that at all.
    So, instead I'm going to tell you that you can indeed adjust the Gain of one or more selected region(s) in the Region inspector on the left hand side.

  • Check if a generated document can have a unique bar code for tracking.

    Is it possible to check if a generated document can have a unique bar code for tracking?......We r using the Adobe Central Output Server 5.5 version on windows xp........

    I know of nothing built into the software that is specifically for the purpose of generating a unique value.
    External of the server there are a couple things that might work.
    1) The source of the data file could create a field in the file that contains a unique value that would be the value for the bar code field. For example, the source program could access a database (Access, SQL, whatever) and grab a numeric field for the value while incrementing the field for the next time. If it isn't practical for the source program to do this, then a "custom agent" could be written that would run prior to printing the form that would do this database access and add the field to the data file before passing it on to the print agent.
    2) You could reference the built-in date & time variables (see the Print Agent manual for $date & $time) to use as the value for the variable to be the value for the bar code field. Depending on how long your print job takes to process you could use the time variable that includes the hundredths of a second or not. For example, having the following in the data file:
    b ^field UniqueBarcode
    b @$date1.@$time3.
    would result in a value of
    b 05021506511429
    for the year (05), month (02), day (15), hour (06), minute (51), second (14), and hundredths (29) of the date & time I typed this in. If you wanted the millenium & century you could just hard-code it by placing "20" in front of the @$date1. reference. Of course, depending on the particular bar code you use, a 14 or 16 digit bar code could be too long for what you want.
    One caution with this method, though. If your Central server is set up for processing multiple instances of Central, it would be possible to get duplicates since two (or more) jobs, running in different instances, could start at the same time.
