Fm-xrefs getting lost when converting DITA to FM DITABOOK

Hi,
I'm using fm-xrefs for all my cross references within my DITA project. They work fine when I generate .chm files, but the hyperlinking is lost completely when I generate .fm documents by building an FM DITABOOK. I'm using the standard Adobe DITA plug-in in and FM 8.
Any clues how I might preserve the links?
Grateful for help.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian...
I'm pretty sure that there is no simple solution for you. Unless this was fixed in a patch that I'm unaware of, the FM8 DITA support doesn't repoint the @href attributes to the FM file topics after the map to book conversion. The @hrefs are probably still pointing at the source XML files, which isn't going to work since they aren't part of the book. Take a look at the attributes under the xrefs after the conversion.
Note that you can use DITA-FMx with FM8 which does work properly in this regard.

Blank spaces at the end of an IDoc text field get lost when posted to R/3

Hi Guys,
I am facing the following issue:
In an XML file-to-Idoc scenario, there are spaces at the end of a text field in the inbound XML file, which I can see when I open the inbound file with a text editor like notepad, and they are kept after XI mapping is executed (I can see them in message mapping simulator). However, it seems that these spaces get lost once the IDoc is posted to SAP R/3 and they are not visible on SAP R/3 side.
Do you have any idea ? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Evaggelos Gkatzios

That means SAP is removing the spaces from IDoc fields, where you spaces are not allowed. Does it create any problem?
Thanks,
Nabendu.

Event gets lost when iView is uncompressed for the first time

Hi All,
we are developing an application that manages attachments (meaning: files stored in KM) and per request by the client consists of several iViews. One of them contains a search interface, another one lists the hits that have been found. So the iViews have to communicate.
We achieved the funcionality by using portal eventing and the HTTP session. The search iView compiles the search string and writes it to the session.
request.getComponentSession().getHttpSession().setAttribute(searchString, .....);
We then use javascript to fire an event on which the searchResult iView reacts and fetches the searchString from the session. The actual search is then performed within the searchResult-iView.
The only problem is that the client requested that the searchResult iView should initially be collapsed. So we set its "initial display" property to "collapsed" and implemented some javascript functionality in the search iView that expands the searchResult iView when a search is performed:
function openIview( iviewID ) {
var temp = parent.pageSupport._getIvuPageId(iviewID);
var ivuBankObj = parent.pageSupport._getIViewBank(temp);
if (ivuBankObj.getToogle() == 0) {
    var trayid = ivuBankObj.getTrayId();
    var event = document.createEventObject();
    event.type = "click";
    if(parent.htmlb_TrcToggle(trayid,'0',event)) parent.pageSupport.ivuToogle(iviewID);
We then fire an event:
EPCM.raiseEvent('...', 'SearchEvent', param, '');
All works fine, except for the very first time the searchRersult iView is expanded after the application (meaning the page containing the iViews) has been opened. The searchResult iView is properly expanded, but the event seems to get lost so that no search is being performed (no error, but no reaction by the iView).
We observed that it seems as if the contents of the iView are only fetched by the browser when it's expanded for the first time. (The progress bar of the browser shows loading activity when expanding the iView for the first time). Supposedly the event gets lost because the serachResult iView doesn't fetch it since it's just being loaded.
After this initial erroneous behavior, the iView can be in compressed or expanded state before a search is being performed and everything works fine.
Interestingly enough the problem can be resolved by setting a timeout of several seconds after expanding the iView and before firing the search event. But we find this to be a very questionable (and inconvenient) method of solving this problem and would rather like to solve it properly.
Does anyone have any ideas how we could achieve this? Is there a way to determine whether an iView has been loaded by the browser (because obviously displaying and loading an iView seem to be two different things)?
Thanks in advance,
Jens

We introduced a boolean "isInitial" flag to the bean which we use to determine whether the iView is expanded for the first time or not. If so, there is a timeout of 2 seconds before the event is fired.
Not really satisfactory, but working.

Hyphen gets lost when printing to computer to plate

hello!
i´ve got a big problem. I have a pdf from a client and everything is fine while checking the pdf.
acrobat preflight and my creo software tell me, that everything is ok.
but when die creo rip produces the output date, its a tiff file, the hyphenation at the end of a line gets lost.
e.g prob-lem looks like pro lem.
my client uses indesign version 6.0, with version 6.0.4 there are no problems.
the pdf is exportet to acrobat level 1.3.
I couldn´t find anything that explains this error.
We produced 18000 broschures and the client doesn´t accept them.
thanks
michael

Over years of experience in the graphic design and printing industries, I have seen this sort of problem from time to time with both film and ctp RIPs. They are most often, although not always, caused by an issue with the RIP software being out of date.
IF the hyphens are visible in the PDF, the RIP software should process them properly.
I have also learned that visual checking is essential. The client should ALWAYS supply a laser printed copy and even a cursory comparison between the film, plate or first sheets off press should reveal the more obvious problems.
I doubt that you will be able to tell the customer that the problem is his fault.

IPhoto gets lost when I try to edit

Hello all,
I am completely new to Mac's and iphoto and I'm having a terrible problem when I try to view pics in iPhoto. I've imported a couple hundred photos (busy christmas) and moved them into neatly organized albums. I've rotated them this way and that while viewing them at thumbnail size. My problem is, when I double click on a photo to edit, my machine seems to get lost. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get a little gray spinning thing. The machine has not crashed (I can still go back to another album / library) but I can't view my photos close up. I've done all the "software updates" and I have checked that the photos are actually on my HD (I can call them up in "Preview") Any thoughts?
--Idiot

Paul,
Those two folders are not supposed to be there, so drag them out into the Pictures folder for now.
Since you have only had your computer a month, I think it is best to just create a new library and import the images from the old back into it.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
After the new library is created and your images imported into I want you to check those two folders I had you drag to the Pictures folder and see if those images are in your library. If not then drag those two folders into an open iPhoto Library viewing window. You can also just use the File>add to library command and navigate to a folder at a time and choose it to import.
let me know how it goes.

Chart Features get Distorted when converting a Powerpoint to PDF

When converting a powerpoint file to PDF using Adobe createPDF online, chart titles and axis that were properly formatted in powerpoint get distorted when the file is converted to pdf. Specifically, the chart titles get moved over / cut off and scales on the axis disappear. The charts, however, are pictures, and were not created in a microsoft program. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
Thanks

That an image of a chart was exported is indicative of the "chart" object in the PDF being an image.
And, that is consistent with what must times, for most PPT "chart" input is -- graphic objects -- which, when sent out to PDF don't change from that (how would they eh?).
Result - an image / graphic object in the PDF.
To get the 'dynamic' chart that updates in Powerpoint when the data for the chart is changed you'd re-master in an appropriate application and OLE it into the Powerpoint file.
But that's the good stuff of Microsoft and discussed over in MS web space.
Be well...

Tags get lost when archived (Mac OS X 10.8, Thunderbird 31.6.0)

I tag messages in Inbox and Sent folder immediately, later archive them with "A" shortcut. This worked well until I upgraded Thunderbird to 31.6.0.
Now my tags get lots when moving to the Archive, and even when I tag them again, tags get lost after a while (restart of thunderbird it seems).
This problem occurred in the German version, testing the English version for a few days, tags do not get lost, it works fine.
I got the idea to change to the basic version from another thread, where a Turkish user had problems with tags as well.

Just for further confirmation that the installation went through succesfully multiple times:

Album art is lost when converting.....

You can now convert to 128, 192, or 256 AAC. This is a great feature, I've actually been waiting for this for a while.
So today, I decided to try it out. I set it to 128, and re-synced some music I had at 320. It worked, but there is no album art. iTunes apparently does not keep the album art when converting the songs.
I've tried re-installing iTunes, but nothing seems to help. Does anyone know a fix for this? I'd really like to use this feature

I have the same problem and it's the same with some of my podcast art. It's very frustrating that things work just fine with iCloud when it comes to mailaccounts and all other stuff and a simple thing like this won't work.

HT1766 how can i recover calendar data that i lost when converted to icloud

i have lost most all of my data on my iphone when i went from mobilme to icloud...is there any way to recover it?

Hi, Mike.
It sounds like you're trying to convert a PDF (which contains a "document open" password) to Microsoft Word. Is that correct? Which product or service are you using to do this conversion - Adobe CreatePDF or Adobe Acrobat or some other product?
CreatePDF cannot currently convert password-protected PDFs to Word. You will typically get an error which says that conversion cannot proceed due to password protection. Acrobat can convert password-protected PDFs to Word, provided you have the password and can provide that at the time you open the PDF in Acrobat.
If you would like to see CreatePDF better handle password-protected PDFs, please add that to our Ideas page.
Thanks.

Audio lost when converted to iPod

I have a video (48.4 MB mpg) that plays fine in QT and iTunes but when it is converted (with either) to iPod (24.2 MB m4v) using "Convert selection to iPod" the audio is lost but video is fine. Any suggestions. Thanks. Phil

Hi Phil. There seem to be some problems regarding the conversion of video files with muxed audio (i.e with audio embedded in the video file), and Quicktime does not support the conversion of MPEG-1 files. I have used the excellent (and free) iSquint to convert videos for my iPod with great success. There is also an application called ViddyUp ($9.95) which offers similar functionality, and can convert files with muxed audio.

Leading Zeroes are lost when convert from string to int

What I'm trying to do is simple yet the solution has seemed difficult to find.
I have a system that requires 4 digit numbers as "requisitionNo". The system uses JSPs and accepts the 4 digit number that the user inputs (fyi - duplicate handling is already managed). The input number (rNumber) is of STRING type and in the action (using struts) is converted to an int:
int requisitionNo = Integer.parseInt(rNumber);At that very line the issue is that when the user inputs a number with leading zeros such as: "0001" the 3 leading zeros are chopped off in the INT conversion. The application validation kicks in and says: "A 4 digit number is required" which is by design. The work around has been that the user has been putting in number that start with 9's or something like that, but this isn't how the system was intended to be used.
How do I keep the leading zeroes from being lost instead of saving a number "1" to the database how do I keep it saving "0001" to the database? Would I just change everything to STRING on down to the database? or is there another number type that I can be using that will not chop off the leading zeroes? Please provide short code references or examples to be more helpful.

Yeah, I have to agree here that leading zeroes make no sense. I figured that out when I started to look into this problem. The only requirement that exists is that the user wants it to be a 4 digit number due to some other requirement they have themselves.
So what I'm gathering from what I've read in the responses thus far is that I should change the validation a bit to look at the STRING for the 4 required digits (which are really 4 characters; maybe I should add CLIENT side numeric validation; currently its doing server side numeric/integer validation; or maybe change up the server side validation instead???) and if they are ALL GOOD then let the application save the int type as it wants to. IE: Let it save "0001" as just "1" and when I come back to DISPLAY this saved number to the user I should append the string of "000" in front of the 1 for display purposes only? Am I understanding everyone correctly?

Song order in playlists gets lost when I sync my Zen To

Weird problem here...when I create a playlist in the Creative software on my computer (what is it called, MediaSource or something?), I drag the songs into the order I want them played. However, when I sync to my Zen Touch, the **bleep** thing plays them in alphabetical order according to artists' names. I can't get playlists on my Zen Touch to play in the order I desire. Any thoughts?
TIA!

Be warned that Notmad works in a very different way to MediaSource as it has no concept of a PC Music Library. Basically it works by drag 'n drop of files onto a device within Windows Explorer, but it's on device management functions are great, along with playlist sorting and randomising. Also you can drag and drop playlist files e.g. M3U, and it will convert to a playlist and not copy the files (assuming the files are already present on the player with the same tag data).

Pattern overlay lost when converting to editable text?

Hey everyone.
I'm using CS5, PC.
I'm facing an issue I never faced before and I can't find a relevant answer for CS5. I did see an answer that is probably correct for CS3, but I hope its solves by now.
Try 1.
I imported a PSD as composition with merge layer styles.
I then go to a text layer, which I want to convert to an editable text layer. When I open the properties, no layer styles appear. (because I chose mergerd layer styles composition..)
The original PSD in photoshop has only a pattern overlay.
When I convert it to editable text, the pattern overlay disappears.
Try 2.
same importing settings.. go to the text layer...
Right click ->layer style -> convert to editable layer styles - - - > Patter overlay + Blending options appear in layers properties.
Second Right click -> convert to editable text - - - > pattern overlay disappears.
Try 3.
I imported a PSD as composition with editable layer styles.
I then go to a text layer, which I want to convert to an editable text layer. When I open the properties, 'Layer style' appears. can toggle on/off.
Right click -> convert to editable text - - - > pattern overlay disappears.
But - 'Layer style' still appears in the properties, and it's on. But now when I toggle on/off, nothing changes.. Pattern is gone..
Conclusion:
From this I get to the conclusion, that I cannot convert a text layer which has a pattern overlay into editable text, and retain the pattern
I hope I'm wrong, and there is a way to retain the pattern.
Please let me know if you have a solution, or if you know for sure that my conclusion is correct..
Thanks is advanced!

There is always a work around, there's just no easy workaround for unsupported layer styles to editable text. The complexity of the workaround depends entirely on what you are planning to do with your 'editable text' in AE. A little more info about your project would help.

Audio lost when converting from standard to widescreen

I have been working on an iMovie project for about two weeks and just noticed that there was an option for widescreen vs standard mode. I read through the instructions and it said that one can convert to widescreen at any time in a project. I converted to widescreen and when I did I seem to have lost 2/3 of the audio in the clips. But its strange because the clips are clearly there - the ducking still works, the audio clip title are there, but there's no sound. I am hoping that there's a simply fix and that I don't need to reconstruction the movie. HELP! Please.
Thanks
David Trachtenberg, Berkeley, Californai

I resolved the issue. I googled the issue and the answer was right there. Turns out that one audio clip (out of dozens in the project) was somehow corrupted. A small yellow triangle was the indication. Once I deleted that clip all of the other audio came back into the project. I simply pasted a fresh version of that audio clip into the project and the all was not lost.

Getting Error when convert the plan order into production order

Hi Experts,
When i converting the planorder into production order i am getting this error
could you please suggest me hoew can i resolve this issue.
Message no. CK466
Diagnosis
The system could not calculate a price for the internal activity with activity type 20000 of cost
center 110TUP002 because none of the valuation strategies in valuation variant 006 was successful.
System Response
If the system issues a warning message or an information message, the costing item will be
used in costing with a value of zero.
If the system issues an error message, it sets the status "KF" (costed with errors).
If the system issues a termination message, the cost estimate cannot be processed.
Procedure
1. Check the master data for activity type 20000 of cost center 110TUP002.
2. If you have authorization for Customizing, check the valuation strategy for internal activities
in valuation variant 006.
Thanks&regards.
Sateesh.C

Hi,
For the orders for which you get the error, note the dates, then check in KSBT, whether there is price maintained for that period.
Eg: If the order has a start - 2nd Aug, 2010 & end 10th Aug, 2010, then check if price exists for period - 08, year - 2010
Regards,
Vivek
Added
If the values are maintained, then check the costing variants specified for the order type in OPL8 for plant - order type combination in cost accounting tab. Then in OPL1, check the details specified for the variants. If you're not sure on this, take help from your FI-Co colleague.
