Does the Tech Comm Suite work differently/better then adding separate components?

I use CS4 everyday which includes Illustrator,  Photoshop extended, InDesign, Dreamwearver and Flash. I now have a need to convert FrameMaker files into HTML and to create Help files using RoboHelp and Captivate. Do I need to get the Tech Comm Suite 2 or can I just add the RoboHelp and Captivate components and upgrade my FrameMaker to version 9? What works better and what is more cost efffective?

Thanks Jeff for the information about importing not linking outside of the suite. I do want to link to the FrameMaker source file.
I will have to check with Sales at Abode to see about the intregration with or upgrade price available for adding Tech Comm suite.

  • Question: How does the "KEY-COMMIT" trigger work?

    Hello All,
    What is the “KEY-COMMIT” Trigger for the BLK_UPDATE data block for? When is the Trigger being activated? Where can I find the information regarding the "KEY-COMMIT" Trigger (FYI, I have looked at the ORACLE Form online document and the help in the Forms 6i Builder, but so far I found nothing)?
    Any information regarding to the "KEY-COMMIT" Trigger would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,
    Jinlan
    --

    From my other post, I got the following information from Andreas Weiden and just want to share with you all here:
    "If you want the code inside your KEY-COMMIT-trigger executed, you will have to do a DO_KEY('COMMIT_FORM'); instead"
    This information really clarifies the def and use of the "KEY-COMMIT" trigger. Great thanks to Andreas for sharing.

  • Why does the local dimming system work differently in different picture modes on the w950b?

    Basically I was wondering why the local dimming is much more effective in the cinema mode than in other picture modes like game mode. For example, using the Disney World of Wonder advanced brightness test pattern, the blacks were very nice and dark with full clarity and detail of the test stars with local dimming turned on while in the game mode, all the local dimming seemed to do was get rid of some clouding but left the blacks looking greyish and hazy which obscured the clarity of the test stars. This is my first Sony tv and I really like the general picture quality but I've had tvs from other brands with local dimming that worked the same in all picture modes but the sony is the only tv where there is such a radical difference in how the local dimming is implemented in different picture modes and I was wondering why that is the case.

    On the Home screen, double-tap with three fingers to exit zoom.
    Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.

  • Upgrading: RH7 separate product or Tech Comms Suite

    Hi Everybody,
    I'm at a point now where I'm looking to upgrade to RH7. I
    also need a copy of Captivate due to some deadlines that have been
    set against me. These are the main two products I'm looking at.
    What I really want to know is who, on this forum, have upgraded to
    RH7 as a separate product and who has delved in to the Tech Comms
    Suite? Are there any gotchas?
    I already have RH X5, which was an upgrade of an upgrade, and
    Framemaker 6.0, which I haven't actually had a reason to use since
    I joined the company. However, I was wondering if it's worth
    upgrading to the Tech Comms Suite based on the Framemaker 6.0
    product. What I can't find on the website is how does this upgrade
    work? Would I receive a brand new version of RH7, CP3 and Acrobat3D
    and an upgrade version of Framemaker 8?
    The offer of all these products in one suite seems too good
    to be true. What happens when just one product is upgraded? What
    happens if I then decide that I have no use whatsoever for
    Framemaker? Are all the products in the Tech Comms Suite full and
    proper versions? So many questions... I searched for answers but
    couldn't find any other posts relating to this, so if there is a
    discussion going on elsewhere then please do point me in that
    direction.
    Can anyone help me make my mind up? Thanks!

    Unless you have some pre-existing experience with Captivate,
    you may find it hard to get all the way up to speed on that product
    quickly. You may want to look at subscribing to Lynda.com for a
    month and taking their on-line course. It's Captivate 2, but I'm
    still finding it useful (as a total Captivate newbie).

    As with RandiWrite, I upgraded from RoboHelp X5 (alone; I
    didn't have any of the other products in the suite though I have
    CS3 including Acrobat Pro) to TCS. I called Adobe Support for
    confirmation that I was eligible before buying the product, and
    they advised that I was. I had no trouble at all installing the
    suite.

    Essentially you just get a full install package with the
    whole TC suite on it. I opted for the download from the Adobe store
    rather than the boxed version since it was slightly cheaper and I
    was impatient to get it. (Also, they don't deliver to PO Boxes
    which is the only way I could get delivery since I'm seldom in one
    place long enough for a courier to find me.) I think that the
    install procedure checks that you have the existing programs on
    there, then away it goes and puts the new ones on as well. It
    didn't remove X5 on my computer; I could do that myself without,
    I'm pretty sure, any untoward effect on version 7; I just haven't
    bothered yet.
    I seem to recall that when I upgraded to PhotoShop CS3 I had
    CS2 on one of my two computers but not the other. (I think it was
    on my notebook but not my desktop.) I was able to install CS3 on
    the desktop without having to install CS2 first; as I recall, it
    asked me for some kind of identifying code first to verify that I
    was already a licenced owner of CS2. (Sorry to be so vague, it was
    a while ago now.) My point is that Adobe has its act together (in
    my experience) at letting you do upgrades from older packages.
    HOWEVER, RoboHelp X5wasn't an Adobe product at the time and doing
    the upgrade without having the X5 package installed may be more
    problematic. This is academic in your case since it IS installed.

    You pay less, but you get less. But that's ONLY if it's ONE
    product. Indeed, I found that it would have been more expensive (in
    Australia at least, I don't know about the UK) for me to upgrade to
    RH7 and buy Captivate than it was to upgrade to TCS. It's not dumb
    marketing on Adobe's part, it's actually rather smart. By giving
    you that value, it gets you to use more of their products (and lets
    face it, while no software is perfect Adobe's is pretty good), and
    consequently hooks you in for future versions. I know that RH has
    imperfections, but I do love it. Same with Acrobat Pro.
    quote:
    What happens if I then decide that I have no use whatsoever
    for Framemaker?
    I don't, but I don't care. I may play with it at some point,
    but the short version is that I still got the products that I DID
    want (RH7 and Captivate) cheaper than buying them separately and if
    anything else wants to come along for the ride I'll find it a room
    on my hard disk.
    quote:
    Are all the products in the Tech Comms Suite full and proper

    They are indeed. You can take them out in public or to a nice
    restaurant and have no fear that they'll cause you embarrassment.

  • I am migrating from Tech Comm Suite, eLearning Suite, and Captivate licenses to a subscription model.  I need help.

    I already have an Adobe account that is associated with my work email.  We had purchased the Tech Comm Suite for Captivate and the eLearning Suite.  Adobe is not offering Captivate 8 as part of an eLearning Suite, but I DO need to upgrade.  I also would like to keep the other apps in both suites up to date, so we want to purchase a Creative Cloud subscription.  I don't have a clue where the serial numbers are kept, and as far as I know, the serial numbers don't show up anywhere in the app anymore.  Additionally, I cannot enter the billing information for my subscription because we have to make the purchase on a p-card owned by our administrative assistant.  So what I want to know is how to purchase a subscription for both Creative Cloud and Captivate that is associated with my email account without giving my login information to the administrative assistant?
    Is it possible to purchase a team subscription and add my email address to the team?  I have to give explicit instructions to our admin.

  • Tech Comms Suite (upgrade version)

    Hi,
    I am now the proud owner of the Tech Comms Suite upgrade
    version 1.3. Reading the yellow slip of paper accompanying the box,
    it says 'Adobe recommends that you uninstall any previous version
    of Technical Communications Suite or any component of the Technical
    Communications Suite... before you install Technical Communications
    Suite 1.3'.
    My dumb question is: if you uninstall FM or RH software, how
    does the software know which is your upgrade product?
    I was planning on installing the Tech Comms Suite on another
    computer temporarily, until I get used to the new UI, and thought I
    would have to uninstall FM (seeing as I want to continue using RH
    on my own pooty) and install it onto the same PC where I want to
    install TCS. However, now it seems I don't have to. Is it just a
    case of entering a qualifying serial number somewhere in the
    upgrade installation? Has anyone here upgraded to TCS and can shed
    some light please?
    Many Thanks,
    Liz

    Thanks Peter and Vivek for your replies. When I bought it
    from the Adobe website I chose the upgrade from one product option
    (not upgrading from TCS v1.0) and I did indeed I receive two disks.
    The install trundles through. At the end it asks if I want to
    open an application. Of course I do because I want to play, so I
    click on the relevant radio button that selects an application to
    open, then click on OK, or Next, or whatever.(sorry cannot remember
    actual name of button!).
    I then get the screen where you choose to open the trial
    version or enter the serial number. So I select the relevant radio
    button and enter the serial number from the TCS box. I then click
    OK, or Next, or whatever and then I get a popup error saying that
    my serial number is not valid.
    Technical Support have confirmed that it is a valid serial
    number. I searched the forum and found there may be conflict with
    Acrobat, but the computer where I installed the TCS did not have
    Acrobat installed prior to installing TCS. I get the error message
    when I enter the serial number for RH, FM and CP. I can open
    Acrobat (as that didn't ask for the serial number) but I haven't
    tried opening or creating a PDF file.
    In other words, I don't get as far as entering the qualifying
    serial number.
    Does anyone have any ideas for me to try please? Has anyone
    else experienced this when they upgraded from one product (not TCS
    v1.0)?
    Thanks for your help

  • Upgraded from Adobe Tech Comm Suite 3.5 to 5 without uninstalling first. How do I uninstall v3.5?

    Upgraded from Adobe Tech Comm Suite 3.5 to 5 on Win 7 64-bit computer. V3.5 was not listed in Control Panel so I did not uninstall it first. Now I have duplicates of everything. How do I uninstall v3.5?

    I figured out what to do on my own. I used the Tech Comm Suite 3.5 installer to install a component I was not using. Then the uninstaller popped up in Control Panel/Programs and Features and I used that to uninstall the v3.5 components (except Photoshop). Not sure if I should uninstall Tech Comm Suite v5 and reinstall it though. Seems to be working okay for now.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

  • Adobe Tech Comm Suite Classroom in a Book or other books?

    Hi everybody,
    I noticed on Amazon.ca, Adobe Tech Comm Suite Classroom in a
    Book is still listed as "unavailable" which at least would mean
    that it is still in the works but not yet published.
    Neverthless, on Amazon.com, the book seems to be no longer
    listed. Does this mean the book is no longer going to be published,
    or that someone at Amazon in the US delisted it until a firm
    release date is supplied by Adobe Press? Enquiring minds want to
    know!
    Does anyone know of any other books related to
    FrameMaker8/RoboHelp7 that are in the offing?
    Peter

    That's a good start, but the documentation that's really
    missing/inadequate is how to interface FM and RH in the Tech. Comm.
    Suite. What features in FM8 are supported when you transfer to RH7?
    Which aren't? Even a list of best practices and the reasons behind
    them would help.
    What's the work flow? I'm slowly getting it, but I have a
    *long* way to go and I'm beginning to be less optimistic that I can
    truly single-source.
    It would be much easier if I had organized and detailed
    written documentation.

  • How does the Mac App Store work?!

    Hey guys i recently posted this quesiton in a different area of the community but instead of being helped was just ridiculed for posting in the wrong place... +1 for helpfulness guys :/ lol Anyways... ive been told to ask in the development section.. I have a $9.99 app and it was sitting at 10th place in the top grossing apps a few weeks ago on the UK app store, now I noticed in the morning that it was ahead of an app which was 49.99 so i presumed that I must have sold at least 5 or 6 to be ahead of him (my idea of top grossing is quantity x price) but when itunesconnect released their reports in the afternoon it turned out that i'd only sold 1 copy.. so what im asking is basically how does the top grossing section work? and how regularly does it update? is it live? daily? etc
    Thanks in advance!

    Your rank is better than the other app because you've made a sale while they've made none. When you make a sale, you jump in the charts, and after that you slowly go down if you don't make another sale. In other words, the bottom of the charts has many apps that didn't make any sale recently. I've also noticed that if you make some sales in other countries than the current chart, that'll very slightly improve your rank.

  • In what QOS does the receiver SOAP adapter work BE or EO?

    Hi,
    In what QOS does the receiver SOAP adapter work BE or EO?
    My guess is that it is by default EO, if so how do i make it work like synchronous?
    There is no option to set it explicitly.
    Thanks]
    Shakthi

    Siva,
    In receiving adapter you can't set the status. The receiving QOS is set in the pipeline by using the Sender Comm.channel QOS.
    So for example in SOAP to SOAP scenario, if you set the Sender comm.channel as BE, then through out the Pipeline till it reaches the Receiver Comm.channel the QOS will be considered as BE only( Even though you didn't explicitly said to the Receiver comm.channel).
    Hope it helps!

  • Any idea when Tech Comm Suite will release?

    I've got a print and help project starting in November, and
    I'd love to start it using FrameMaker and Robohelp 7 from Adobe
    Tech Comm Suite. My other option is RoboHelp for Word, of an
    unknown vintage. So just when is pretty important to me. Anyone
    heard any scuttlebutt? -
    Thanks!

    The official release date is probably known only to a few
    select people in Adobe. All we can add is that the release in due
    shortly. It is a case of watch this space. I'm sure it can't be far
    off. They are already taking pre-orders.

  • GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work

    Hi All,
    re: GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work
    We are implementing GRC suite v5.2, but specifically my question is regarding Role Expert:
    SAP documentation states that it is possible to use Role Expert to do the following: for roles allows you to see if, or how much, a transaction is being used, when it was last used, and who used it.
    My question is how without Audit Log or RBE?
    Let me know if you have ever used this functionality and if it requires the SAP Back-End Audit Log to be turned on or RBE.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Gary,
    You dont need a RBE tool activation to get the successful transaction usage log with Role Expert.
    Role Expert functionality allows you to log all the transactions that have been added/deleted to the role that is changed. Also when you create a new role via the Role Expert then automatically the transaction log starts.
    If you go the "History" tab in the Role Expert, then you can find all the last changes made to the role.
    Also you can go to the "Risk Analysis" tab to find the log of Risk Analysis performed with the added tcodes.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Kiran Kandepalli.

    Verizon iPhone 4S SIM UNLOCK Tutorial
    SGMD1 Oct 19, 2011 9:40 PM  
    Currently Being Moderated
    Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
    1. Meet the following requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
    2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
    3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
    4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
    5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!
    ****ALSO I JUST SPOKE WITH NICHOLE (VZN GLOBAL SUPPORT) REGARDING IF THE IPHONE 4S HAS TO BE ACTIVE AFTER SIM UNLOCK AND THE ANSWER IS: NO!
