Fm-xref adds text to element

Hello,
I have been using FrameMaker 10 to convert fm files into DITA XML format. Some of my <title> elements contain "conkeyref" variables as the same topic is used in many different products.
When I cross-reference these topics, FrameMaker automatically adds the literal text in the title (including the placeholder text that my variable element uses) after the <xref> tag in my XML. When I generate the output using the DITA OpenToolkit, the cross-references do not update using the variable value, but instead use the literal text that Frame is adding.
For example, this is a line taken from the XML file:
<p><xref type = "fm:" href = "dp_about.xml#id11CKI0FK0BI">Documentation Procedures in prodName</xref></p>
prodName is simply the placeholder text used to identify where a variable has been placed. When this is processed by the DITA OpenToolkit, Documentation Procedures in prodName displays in the output.
If I manually remove the automatically added text (as below), the output is generated properly using the defined variable value.
<p><xref type = "fm:" href = "dp_about.xml#id11CKI0FK0BI"></xref></p>
Once I open the same XML file in FrameMaker, the cross-reference updates and the over-riding text is added back into the XML. I know that I can turn off the Auto-Load Xrefs On File Open option, but this does not help when adding a new cross-reference. This additional text is very troublesome and manually removing it from every XML file using a text editor is not an option (I currently have over 900 files in the document).
This problem also occurs if I change the title of one topic. The existing cross-references do not update to include the new title name when they are processed by the OpenToolkit.
How can I force FrameMaker to not add this text when a cross-reference is added to the XML?
Thanks

Hi Mike,
Please find the settings file located at %FRAMEMAKER_INSTALLED_DIR%/fminit/ditafm/ditafm.ini.
In this file, locate the setting named "WriteLinkTextToFmXrefs" in the section "GeneralExport". Its default value is 1. Change this to 0 to achieve the desired behavior.
Regards,
Saurabh

Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
2. Select to "Options
3. Select "Applications"
4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

Having several problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Right now my worst is that when I add text to a clip, it goes out of "auto color" while the text is up. Help?

I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13. One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening. I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back. It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly. Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
Now today, when I add text to a clip, it drops out of "auto color" while the text is visible in the clip, then back into auto color when the text is gone. Any suggestiosn?

If we are looking at the same thing, you have called attention to one strange Premiere Elements 13 AutoColor/Titler interaction. This can be reproduced in the Expert or
the Quick workspace. I will demo this in the Quick workspace since that is where you have been working.
1. Import a still into the Quick workspace/Filmstrip.
2. With the still selected, go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Color Panel expanded and just click on the Auto Color Tab. Close the Adjust Tab route.
3. Go to Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to open the project's Titler. When you do that you see the following and not the still over which the text title is to go.
And when you close the Titler, you then see the "Add Text" text title in the still.
The only solution that I can think of at this time is to create the text title and then apply the Auto Color to the still.
It is interesting that this only happens with the Auto Color in the Color Panel selected. If you do not click on
Color Panel and use the More options for Color adjustments, this behavior does not take place.
Deletion of Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file does not correct this situation.

I think that here we need to explore project settings (project presets), properties of source media, and Timeline rendered and unrendered content prior to export.
Please review the above
a. verify if the Auto Color Text Title glitch that I saw is what you described in your situation
b. give the details of your project so that we can explore cause and effect for Timeline content playback irregularities as seen in the Edit area monitor.

How can I add text to a field based on XML tagging?

I'm fairly new to using XML in InDesign layouts, and I'm currently facing an issue getting a bunch of content from database records formatted in a print document (text that flows over dozens of pages). I've figured out how to create an InDesign template, but I need to be able to add text between some of the XML elements in two different scenarios:
1. Add text or line breaks before or after an XML element that always appears in the document. For example: Adding "Description:" before the XML-tagged description content, or adding a return after the last element in a list.
2. Add text before or after an XML element only if it appears in the document. For example: If there's a second phone number, tagged "Phone2" in the XML, then I want " or " to appear before it in the layout. Otherwise there's just one phone number and it continues on to the next piece of content.
I have tried inserting this text into the InDesign template, but keeping them means having to also keep parts of the template that aren't used on every import--so I have a bunch of "or Phone2" bits of text to find and replace afterward. That's OK, but I'd like a more elegant solution that doesn't leave potential mistakes in my layout.
In my preliminary research so far, it looks like an XSLT or scripting might be able to handle this, but I don't know where to start. Can someone tell me if what I'm looking for is possible and suggest the best way to do it? I'm going to have to trial-and-error a solution for this myself.

Is there any way to add text or arrows onto photos in iPhoto when creating a book?

I am creating a photo book (Album), in iPhoto, in Projects. There are some place where it would be helpful if I could draw an arrow on the Photo to indicate certain places. I also would like to add text onto a photo in the book. This is as well as typing in the 'text box' provided. It needs to be on the actual photo in the book. Is this possible? I am using Version 9.5.1 which i think is the latest and i am running on Maverick on my iMac.

There is no way to add anything to the face of a photo in iPhoto at all You will need an extenral editror for that kind of work. You can add text and arrows etc with Preview, already on your Mac or with apps like these:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Adding text in Elements 10

I opened Elements editor today, and found I could no longer add any text to a new image.
I start Elements, go to the editor, create a new image, then add text, and I cannot see the text at all. Things I have checked:
Various fonts
Various sizes
Various colors
Various opacities
Anti-alias on and off
Various styles (including none)
I've tried horizontal and vertical text
I've tried setting the background to various colors
Zoom level seems to make no difference
Doesn't matter if I create the new image with white or transparent background
When I try the Horizontal Mask tool, I get a message "No pixels were selected"
The layer names contain the text I typed into the image.
Any idea what could be going on?
Thanks!

I'd try resetting the type tool:
What size is new image your creating?

How to add text to photos[non slides]

I can't find any way to add text to a slide except with slideshow or book page. Surely Aperture couldn't forget this. Anybody??

Aperture didn't forget that -- it's outside its remit.
Aperture provides powerful tools for two tasks:
Digital photograph conversion and development (esp. RAW), and
Digital asset management (a/k/a DAM).
You might be able to do what you want with the free but full-featured Aperture plug-in Border FX.
For true compositing (combining graphics elements, text, and geometric primatives), you need a graphics program.

How to add text to a pdf file?

I was sent a rental application as a pdf file which I need to fill in but I can't seem to add text to it.
How does one open a pdf file and add text to it?
I have acrobat professional that came with adobe cs3 on my mac.
Thanks for any advice.

If you don't have the original and need a word version that you can edit.
Open PDF go to Save As... choose Word and then choose format.
See this: http://www.screencast.com/t/igS0SoMDri
Note: this only works with text based files.
once its converted you can edit to you heart's content. Then once edited as need create a new PDF with a different name.
Open the Acrobat original Document Click on On Tools (if AcrobatX) and choose replace Pages and choose your new pdf as source. the choose desired pages or choose entire document.
If you have any form Fileds and they have been displaced choose edit Form, click on each field in turn than needs moving, use up down right or left arrow keys to nudge the elements to desired position.
If you have have a Form that has extended reader rights you have to remove those right by saving a copy without rights. Then onece editting completed you have to add rights.

You can't using iphoto. You'll need an external editor. Seasgore is free, Photoshop Elements is relatively inexpensive, Photoshop is very expensive. Graphic Converter may be on your machine already. Search on http://www.macupdate.com

Sometimes I can't add text in a text layer.

I have PSE9 and sometimes, when attempting to add text to a text layer, I'm unable to do so. I click the text tool, but the move tool icon displays on the screen even though the text parameters show at the top of the screen. Any idea what's going on?

On the text tool's option bar, top left, click on the little arrow, then reset all tools. If that does not fix it, suggest that you reset preferences.

Adding text on element 10

I cannot add text. I followed element 10 chapter 12 instructions but cannot get past first 4 steps. When I try to commit text as per step 5 nothing appens. Anybody has a clue why?
Message was edited by: 7239

Thank you Curt Y. Although frankly I do not understand what you are trying to tell me.
The problem I'm experiencing is that the commit text procedure does not seem to work and i cannot see the text that appears on the text layer to be reproduced into the face of the picture that I'm trying to text edit. I also tried to follow a tutorial on the subject with the same negative result.

Dynamically add Children Link Element

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically add a children element, a link, but the action binding refuses to work ...
I've created a custom jsf component, that does nothing at all.
For example, one would use it like:
<my:nothing></my:nothing>So my UI class would have the following methods:
public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
public void encodeEnd(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
}The tld file is created, the tag class is working. All the component is working properly.
Now I want to add a link as a child component, but I wat to do it programatically, so I changed the encodeBegin method of my custom ui class:
import javax.faces.el.ValueBinding;
import com.sun.faces.util.Util;
import javax.faces.el.MethodBinding;
import javax.faces.component.UICommand;
import javax.faces.component.html.HtmlCommandLink;
import com.sun.faces.taglib.html_basic.CommandLinkTag;
public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
          String myLinkId = "idMyLink";
          String myLinkValue = "myLink:Value";
          String myLinkStyle = "color:green;";
          String myLinkAction = "backup";
          HtmlCommandLink myLink = new HtmlCommandLink();
          myLink.setParent(this);
          myLink.setId( myLinkId );
          if (CommandLinkTag.isValueReference( myLinkValue )) {
               ValueBinding vb = Util.getValueBinding( myLinkValue );
               myLink.setValueBinding("value", vb);
          } else {
               myLink.setValue( myLinkValue );
          if (CommandLinkTag.isValueReference( myLinkStyle )) {
               ValueBinding vb = Util.getValueBinding( myLinkStyle );
               myLink.setValueBinding("style", vb);
          } else {
               myLink.setStyle( myLinkStyle );
          if(myLinkAction!=null) {
               if (CommandLinkTag.isValueReference( myLinkAction )) {
                    System.err.println("Id="+myLinkId+":TRUE:getAccao:isValueReference:"+myLinkAction);
                    MethodBinding vb = getFacesContext().getApplication().createMethodBinding(myLinkAction, null);
                    myLink.setAction(vb);
               } else {
                    System.err.println("Id="+myLinkId+":FALSE:getAccao:isValueReference:"+myLinkAction);
                    final String outcome = cNfo.getAccao();
                    MethodBinding vb = Util.createConstantMethodBinding( myLinkAction );
                    myLink.setAction(vb);
          myLink.encodeBegin(getFacesContext());
          myLink.encodeEnd(getFacesContext());
}This seems to work, but not quite ... the link appears as expected, the value references for value and style are correctly passed, but the action doesn't work at all.
For example if I change to:
String myLinkValue = "#{mybean.linkText}";And I have the following method created on my managed bean:
     public String getLinkText() {
          return "This is myLink Text!";
     }Is successfully calls and retrieves the value from the method. Same happens to the style property.
Now for the action, if I change to:
String myLinkAction = "#{mybean.doMyLinkAction}";And I have the following method created on my managed bean:
     public String doMyLinkAction() {
          return "backup";
     }The result is nothing ... I mean the method is not called at all. The "backup" is properly defined on my "faces-config.xml":
   <navigation-rule>
      <from-view-id>/testPage.jsp</from-view-id>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>yes</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/yes.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>no</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/no.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>backup</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/backup.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>If I create the link manually on the web page:
<h:commandLink id="myLinkManual" value="Manually Created Link" style="" action="#{mybean.doMyLinkAction}"/>It does work (the backup.jsp page is shown), so the methods are properly configured, only the action binding does not work.
Wether I use a string "backup" or a reference "#{mybean.doMyLinkAction}" I cannot make it work.
On the console I get the following results, for each value I test (string "backup" or reference "#{mybean.doMyLinkAction}"):
Id=idMyLink:TRUE:getAccao:isValueReference:backup
Id=idMyLink:FALSE:getAccao:isValueReference:#{mybean.doMyLinkAction}So the "if (CommandLinkTag.isValueReference( myLinkAction )) {" is working properly ... that just leaves me with the action method binding instructions ...
Why don't they work?
Any Help Appreciated ... Thanks in Advance!

c'mon guys ... can anyone test this and help me out?
Pleeeeeease ... I'm really needing this working out.
Thanks
