FDK: Generating Thumbnails of FrameMaker File pages

Hi There
I'm wondering is it possible to generate thumbnails of individual pages of a FrameMaker document programmatically, using the FDK?
I've had a look through the FDK reference document but couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks
Eric

FM doesn't have any thumbnails created or stored internally, so you would have to create a plug-in that rasterizes the page and stores it in a FrameImage format in an allowable container.
For what purpose and how would you view these thumbnails?

  • I am able to generate PDF from Framemaker file but not able to generate pdf from book in robohelp

    Hi,
    Using robo help i am able to generate pdf  from a single framemaker file.
    but when i am importing whole book then i am not able to make it.
    And also it is not showing any error on console
    It goes to hang like situation and i have to close it from task maneger.

    Ok, silly question - why are you bothering to try and create PDFs from RH when you've got FM? FM to PDF produces great results; RH to PDF involves having to go through Word - i.e. RH - Word - PDF = too much work IMHO.

  • Missing page numbers while generating PDF from Framemaker book

    FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.
    I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.
    Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.
    I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?
    Please advise.

    Error7103 wrote:
    We have seen a similar problem when the page# was at the right edge of the header or footer frame, and the tab that put it there was too far to the right.
    This is an old problem. It comes from setting tab stop positions in paragraph formats with the cursor in the text frame on the TOC reference page. Nothing wrong with this, EXCEPT when the master page text frame has been made narrower than the reference page's text frame. One way to avoid the problem or to fix it, is to set tab stops in a paragraph in the body page text frame, so the width is correct. Another way is to set the tab stops accurately by number, rather than by eye. Visually, the reference page tab stop will look correct, but the generated TOC uses the master page text frame - if it's narrower than the reference frame, this problem occurs.
    I seem to remember that this might have been fixed in more recent FM releases, but I think that's a false recovered memory, because this is not a bug, just a discrepancy in measurement. There's no way to expect that the prototype paragraph format on the TOC reference page can know if a tab stop will be out-of-bounds on the generated TOC page.

  • Cfpdf don't generate correct thumbnails of CMYK files after installing CF 10 update 1

    Hi,
    We have been using cfpdf to generate a thumbnail from a 1-page PDF file since years, first with CF 8, and now with CF 10. It runs smoothly until yesterday, when we applied the Update 1 (can't assure that there is a correllation, but it's the only thing that has changed: we used the same program to generate the PDFs, and no other changes has been made on the server side).
    Since the update, thumbnail are generated, but almost all text and images are wiped.
    This is what was generated before the update:
    And this is what we get now:
    The code we use is like this:
    <cfpdf action="thumbnail" destination="." source="portada.pdf" pages="1" scale="30" format="jpeg" resolution="high" overwrite="Yes">
    You can get the PDF here (not the same that the above images, but created exactly in the same way).
    PDF file are created with Acrobat Distiller 7.0.5, and have version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). Color are in CMYK mode.
    If I convert the CMYK colours of the PDF file to RGB, then cfpdf generates the thumbnail, but with weird colours. Alas, in production we can't send RGB PDFs to generate the thumbnails.
    We have checked with simpler PDFs created with OpenOffice.org 3.2 (version 1.4 Acrobat 5.x), and Acrobat Distiller 9.0.0 (version 1.5 Acrobat 6.x), both of them with RGB colours, and with those cfpdf worked fine and generate a correct image.
    We have CF10 Standard Edition deployed on a virtual machine over CentOS 6.3 64 bits, and although I know CentOS is not officially suportted, I would really appreciate if somebody could reproduce this behaviour over any officially supported Linux enviroment. I've tried on Windows 7 64 bits with the Developer Edition, and cfpdf works as expected, with and without the CF 10 upgrade.
    Thanks in advance,

    After some time, I found answer how I can repair my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010). As I was writing early - Mac Os X update SMC 1.6 broke my computer.

  • How do I convert a FrameMaker file containing both Portrait and Landscape pages into PDF?

    I have recently converted to FrameMaker 9 and Acrobat 9. In the FrameMaker manual I am creating, most of the pages have Portait orientation, but some have Landscape orientation. However, when I convert the manual to PDF using Acrobat Distiller, the Landscape pages become Portrait. This wasn't a problem when I converted the manual into PDF in previous versions of Acrobat Distiller, it appeared after I installed Acrobat 9. In other words, the FrameMaker file has worked before. I have also tried this on three different computers to make sure the computer is not the problem. Does anybody have any ideas that I could try to make this work?

    Jorunn, did you ever resolve this problem? If not, I've got a solution for you.
    In FrameMaker, select the book you want to create a PDF of, click File > Print, and select Adobe PDF as your printer.
    Click Properties and make sure you have the selections you want.
    Back on the Print Setup dialog, leave the Paper and Orientation as both Letter and Portrait respectively.
    On the Print Book dialog, select Print to File and browse to the correct location. Make certain to save this as a PostScript file (name.ps) and at the Safe Book As field, you want Single File selected.
    Again on the Print Book dialog, click the checkbox for Generate Adobe Data and click PDF Setup. On the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog, at the PDF Job Options, select Press Quality or make the appropriate choices for your situation for Settings, Bookmarks, Tags, and Links.
    With Adobe Distiller open, File > Open and browse to the .ps file you indicated earlier. Also verify your Default Settings for the PDF are correct. When Distiller is finished, you can double-click the PDF file to open it and check that your portrait and landscape pages show correctly.

  • Have framemaker files generated on mac in 2000 want to incorporate data into indesign cs 6 for pc?

    Have framemaker files generated on mac in 2000 want to incorporate data into indesign cs 6 for pc?

    They're Apple HDV, not ProRes. QuickTime Player on Windows does not have a decoding component for these files--and as a side note, you don't need to install the ProRes decoder since that has been built into QuickTime Player for some time now.
    Anyway, you can get a third-party decoder for these files: Calibrated{Q} XD Decode. Note that Apple changed something in QuickTime 7.7 and the Apple HDV clips will not work with it; you'll need to roll back to no later than 7.6.9 to use the component properly. You can get that version here: Old Version of QuickTime Player 7.6.9 Download - OldApps.com.
    I have a method of converting these to a format that can be natively handled in Premiere Pro, but it's not really suited for large quantities of files like yours. Calibrated XD Decode isn't exactly cheap ($130 on sale right now), but it will get you up and running with minimal effort--that's probably worth the admission price.

  • Imovie is not generating thumbnails for MPG video files

    Hi everyone,
    I have what I hope is a quick question with an easy solution.  I'm using iMovie '09 8.0.6 to make a movie for my parents of their granddaughter.  Imovie has generated thumbnails for all my video in iPhoto (most of which is .mov format), but two short clips (about a minute in length each) were apparently taken with a different camera and are in .mpg format.  For some reason, imovie is not generating thumbnails for these .mpg videos, though in the past I have never experienced a problem here.  What is wrong? What can I do to get these clips into iMovie or have iMovie generate these thumbnails?
    Thanks.

    No, the orientation is not the issue, The first set of 4 imported videos were from a GoPro 3 camera, and the one that was lost doing an "update thumbnail" operation was also a GoPro3 fie.
    Just now I did another experiment, I chose to update thumbnail from a video file created with my Pentax WG-3 and it worked.
    I updated thumbnail on a horizontal and verticle video from my Galaxy S3, and now those are also gone with no thumbnail...
    So far the only one that actually works for me is the Pentax video, which is a MOV file. , the GoPro 3 and Galaxy are mp4 files, so it's possible that the mp4 format has something to do with it. This is very frustrating losing my thumbnails like this.... Luckily I have not deleted ver11 yet.
    I hope they repair this issue soon.
    Thanks for the help so far,

  • Explorer crashing when generating thumbnails view for large (4GB) video (.TS) files

    I am suffering consistent application crashes in Windows Explorer when it tries to generate thumbnails. 
    The error is reported as COM Surrogate has stopped working with an APPCRASH of dllhost.exe in module msvcrt.dll.
    This only but always happens in the following circumstances.  A folder set to view tiles or icons (with thumbnail view option NOT disabled).  This folder contains several sub-folders, each of which contain video files.  As explorer scans the
    folder and its sub-folders, generating thumbnails for each, whenever it encounters a video file (.TS) that is 3.99GB or larger. COM surrogate crashes again.  Closing COM Surrogate will then allow explorer to continue to scan the remaining sub-folders
    until it encounters the next large file. 
    If I subsequently open one of the sub-folders where it crashed trying to generate a thumbnail, and refresh the folder, it will successfully generate a thumbnail for the video file. If I then return to the main folder and change the customization of the sub-folder
    from video to document and back to video, explorer then successfully generates the folder icon with the inset video thumbnail.
    I have tried this in safe mode and the problem persists.
    Can anybody please help as I am pulling my hair out.

    Hi Roger.
    Almost all of my media files are TS, and all of my large (4GB) files are TS files, so I cannot tell if other file types have the same problem.  I did try renaming the TS files to be .mpg (they still play as mpg) but this did not help.
    However, I have downloaded and used ShelleExView and this has proved very useful.  For the benefit of anyone else with a similar problem and using this very useful tool, I will detail the technique I used. 
    First, using ShellExView, I disabled various groups of extensions to identify which, if any, were relevant.  After disabling/enabling each set I performed a system restart to ensure the changes took effect.  This was not actually necessary as restarting
    Windows Explorer (via Task Manager) works equally well (but this loses my customm Taskbar toolbar). 
    Also, before re-opening the folders containing the problem files, I deleted the icon cache (I could have done this manually but chose to use CCleaner's delete Thumbnail Cache option as this was quick and easy).  I then viewed the folders containing
    the problem files, watching to see what effect the changes in ShellExView had made.
    Using ShellExView, I progfessively disabled by Type (e.g. Thumbnail, Icon Handler), then by Company (e.g. non-Microsoft), then by Product (e.g. MS Office, Windows Search).  The result was that I identified the extension that was creating the thumbnails:
    Icaros Thumbnail Provider (installed as part of the K-Lite codec pack).
    Hoping I had found the cause, I removed K-Lite from my system and checked again.  No thumbnails (as expected), but COM Surrogate continued to crash (I have subsequently reinstalled K-Lite as I need this to play my media files).  Further analysys
    with ShellExView then identified a further problem extension: Microsoft's MF MPEG Property Handler. 
    With both extensions (Icaros Thumbnail Provider & MF MPEG Property Handler) disabled, COM Surrogate does not crash.  With either one enabled, but not the other, COM Surrogate crashes.  These two extensions are therefore both individually causing
    the crashes.  This leads me to wonder if they perhaps have something in common (e.g. a dll).
    Although disabling these extensions stops the crashes, I of course alos lose what they provide: file details (e.g. media length etc.) and thumbnails.  So simply disabling them is not a solution.  
    Is it possible to idenitfy what, if anything, they have in common (which may be the true culprit)? 
    Alternatively, are there other ways I can continue to obtain file property information and thumnails without using these extensions?

  • Trying to import video files.  Clock on files and hit import.  Imovie says generating thumbnails and importing.  Then after loading, no movies there.  help?

    My 14 year old son is trying to import videos into iMovie.  He's done this a dozen times before with no problem.  Here is what he's doing "I went to import movies, clicked on the idv files and hit import.  On iMovie it said "generating thumbnails, and importing".  Then it gave the loading sign.  When it was done, none of the movies/videos were in Imovie.  He needs to have this done as a xmas gift for a friend by Thursday .

  • Google Translate Unable to generate thumbnail

    I have just pasted the code to generate a Google language button into the insert html panel but instead of generating the image of the button on the page it shows a warning?

    Solved. While this problem appeared machine related, it was not -- It turns out that I had added a js file in my page header that was missing.
    So, the moral of the story is that if you're seeing the "unable to generate thumbnail error", look at all the custom HTML you may have added to the site. Errors in any HTML can show up in the wrong place.

    Could anyone please tell me the steps to change the folder
    Thanks

    You change the generate folder and filename in the first field on the first page of the wizard. It must be a folder on your hard disk.
    You change the publish folder in the last page of the wizard. Anywhere you like.

  • XML Publisher question - Not generating a valid XML file

    I am working through an Oracle document that walks you through creating an XML Pub report. I am using HCM 8.9, Tools 8.49.15 and it has XML Pub installed and I have the Microsoft plug-in installed
    I have created a query and have downloaded an rtf template and now am on a page where you enter your data source and then click ‘Generate’ for the sample data file. I did it and it created ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ which is created from a PS Query. However if I click on ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ it generates a blocky text file that is not an XML file and I can’t go any further.
    Do you know why it’s not generating a valid XML file when I click on 'generate'?
    Thanks

    You mean to say that you create a new data source by specifying Data Source Type as 'PS Query' and Data Source ID as your query name, you are not able to generate a valid XML file (by clicking on Generate link).
    did you cross check your query by running it?
    On field change of Generate link, PeopleSoft uses PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER and PSXP_XMLGEN app packagaes and query objects to create the file
    It should work if you query is valid..
