FM8 + DITA: Cannot create a book from a map.

Hello,
I want to create a book from a map with the standard FM function.
1. Do I reference .xml topics? I read something about .fm.xml topics? How can I get this file format?
I reference topics in the file format xml. If that is not right please ignore my other questions.
2. I can create a document from my map without any problems. When I create a book from the map I get the following
xml read report log that I do not understand:
a) Cannot insert a marker in the book.
b) Ignore the text that was encountered in a book.
c) Cannot insert the FM element (ul) in the specified location in the book.
With kind regards
Nina

Hi Nina...
You just need to run the "Build FM DITA Book from DITA Map File" command. At the first prompt (select file dialog) select the ditamap you want to convert, then the second prompt (select file dialog) specify the name of the new book to create.
If you get errors, choose "OK" to each prompt.
Based on the errors you're getting it sounds like ..
a) you've got an unstructured FM marker in one of the files (that shouldn't prevent the book from being created)
b) you've got some text in an invalid location (also shouldn't prevent the book from being created .. but might)
c) you've got a
element in an invalid location (might prevent the book from being created)
Be sure to validate (Element > Validate) all of your files before trying to build a book.

Best methods for creating e-books from FrameMaker 10 (TCS 3.5)

I would like to know your thoughts on which of the following methods is the best, and easiest, way to create e-books from FrameMaker. I will most likely be using Calibre to do the file conversion.
(1) Using File > Publish > ePub to create an ePub file, which can then be imported into Calibre.
(2) Using the File > Save Book As > HTM command (which creates a separate HTML file for each FM file), editing the HTML files in RoboHelp (or another HTML editing tool), then importing all of the HTML files into Calibre.
Note that when I published to HTML from FM, it appears that only an output file was created from RoboHelp, as I could not find any HTML files were actually created. Is that the case, or was I just not looking for the HTML files in the right place?
If anyone has any other recommendations, please let me know! Thanks!

I linked the FrameMaker book to RoboHelp, then generated an ePub file from RoboHelp, and have a couple of issues.
(1) When I open the ePub file in Calibre and Adobe Digital Editions, there is no contents section within the book. The only contents is the contents in the navigation bar. How do I generate a contents to appear in the front of the ebook, or do I have to create that manually in RH? I did specify the settings in RH to convert the FM contents.
(2) The ePub file looks much better in Calibre than Adobe Digital Editions. Should I be concerned about this? Which viewer should I rely on?

HT204364 I'm creating a 'book' from an album in iPhoto. I have downloaded the latest version. However, I have selected a certain book i.e. wire bound, 19 page and when I'm creating it, it indicates 33 pages for one, and 42 pages for another. How can I

I'm creating a book from an album in iPhoto. I have downloaded the latest version of iPhoto. When I choose a book, i.e. wirebound, 19-20 page book, it shows a 42 page book when I am populating the pictures in the book I've selected. Is that because I have more pictures in the album?
In any case, I can't seem to manipulate/choose the number of pages I want. How can I stick with the 20 page book I want?
Thanks.

You can not select the "number of pages" - you select the photos and the page layours and the number of pages comes form that - with Autoflow iPhoto uses random page layouts so the number of pages is rando=m
You can change layouts to include more photos, move photos to the pages with no empty photos frames and then delete the pages at the end after the photos are used elsewhere

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.

Getting error "Cannot create a BACPAC from a file that does not contain exported data." from SqlManagementClient.Dac.ImportAsync

We're trying to import a dacpac to azure via the new SqlManagementClient DacOperations ImportAsync api I get an exception with the error: "Cannot create a BACPAC from a file that does not contain exported data."
This same dacpac imports fine using an alternate but less friendly API from sql server's tooling. We'd like to use the new management SDK instead for various reasons.

Hi Kyle A Wilt,
I am trying to involve someone more familiar with this topic for a further look at this issue. Sometime delay might be expected from the job transferring. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Cannot create a region from a task flow containing facelets fragments in a

hi
Please consider ADF applications migrated from JDeveloper 11g R1 to 11g R2 [1].
When using JDeveloper 11g R2 to create a task-flow containing facelets fragments and dropping it on an existing/migrated page (created using JDeveloper 11g R1) results in a message :
"Cannot create a region from a task flow containing facelets fragments in a jspx page.".
What would be "good guidelines" (do's and don't's) of using facelets aspects in an ADF application migrated from JDeveloper 11g R1 to 11g R2?
- [1] e.g. specifically JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 to JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0, see also forum thread "migration support from 11.1.1.6.0 to 11.1.2.4.0"
at migration support from 11.1.1.6.0 to 11.1.2.4.0
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Thanks for your reply Timo.

It is not the same as in forum thread "choosing JDeveloper 11g R1 or JDeveloper 11g R2 "
at choosing JDeveloper 11g R1 or JDeveloper 11g R2
which does not talk about migration to 11g R2.
... My answer was and still is: No. ... I don't see a reason why to do a migration to 11.1.2.x. ...We are considering if a migration to 11g R2 will allow us to make our application "facelets ready", which could potentially allow easier migration to 12c .
Altough Brian Fry (Oracle) wrote "Re: choosing JDeveloper 11g R1 or JDeveloper 11g R2", the "facelets considerations" in this current forum thread could suggest something different.

A team could have resources available now, and maybe not in a couple of months (related to wanting/needing to use facelets, and related to the "perceived/expected complexity" of an 11g R1 to 12c migration compared to an 11g R2 to 12c migration).
... (you know how complex this can be) ...Maybe less knowing, and more trying to find out.
... in a couple of month when 12c is available. ...How do you know it will be only "a couple of month" before 12c is available. Do you have specific references that confirm this?

In iPhoto 11 trying to create a book from an album.

Trying to create a book from album in iPhoto 11. The photos in the album were manually sorted to be in the order I want. When I select the album as the source for the book the pictures are re-aranged and placed in a different order. How do I use the album as the source for the book and keep the pictures in the order I placed the album in?

I found an solution in and other discussion (inspired on the answer of tigerjoker):
Stay in the album with all the Photos selected. Select Photos, Batch Change and select Date in the drop down menu. Input what ever date you want. Tick the box "Add 1 minute between each photo". Click ok
Create your book and all the photos should be in the order you selected.
This worked for me, the original answer from tigerjoker was a bit more complicated:
Re: iPhoto11 can't rearrange my photos in an album
Jun 5, 2011 10:08 AM (in response to Cait9204)
I had the problem of arranging photos in the album, but when you transfer to a book, it automatically rearranges the photos by date. As you say, this is a glitch in '11 as it wasn't a problem in earlier version. I found a solution. Go to the album and Select All photos. Select Photos, Batch Change and select Title and Text in the drop down menus. Type a name in the box, like Birthday Party, then tick the box Append a Number To Each Photo. Click OK.
Then, stay in the album with all the Photos selected. Select Photos, Batch Change and select Date in the drop down menu. Input what ever date you want. Untick the box about Add 1 minute between each photo, then tick the box Modify original files. Click OK.
Create your book and all the photos should be in the order you selected.

I cannot download Kindle books from iCloud?

Can anyone suggest why I cannot download Kindle books from the Cloud to my iPhone?

Kindle books are not on iCloud. Do you actually mean iCloud? See the title of your post. Kindle books are downloaded from Amazon's servers using the Kindle App on the iPad/iPhone.

Creating multiple links from one map image in Flash CS4

I have been tasked with creating multiple links from one map image using flash. Each link would go to the main website page with that location. I assume I could create a button for each location on the map but not having a lot of experience any help / tutorial you know of would be super helpful.. Thanks! Not looking for someone to work me thru it but a little guidance would be great!

If I was to answer the problem, I would be giving you what you asked not to be given... the solution. So I'll suggest that you start by researching the getURL() function. That is what AS2 uses for opening web pages.
As for coding a button, I'll recommend the following article for you... it will explain the proper approach to coding a button, which will give you an advantage over others who don't follow it, but instead use the way the article says not to.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/as_bestpractices_04.html
Google is one of the best resources available for learning how to do things with Flash--it's the first place I go when I have a wondering. In general, if you type in the right keywords, you get fairly good search results. In your case, combinations of "AS2", "button", "getURL", "tutorial" would probably work well.

Cannot Create a pdf from Word Doc 2003 in Acrobat 8

My first time out trying to create a pdf from word hasn't worked.
I've tried several times, but either get some message that distiller cannot run when Acrobat is not active. Well, as far as I can tell it's staring me in the face.
If I try to print from Word and set the page to pdf, it bombs almost the same way. Acrobat not active, bye. It brings up Acrobat anyway. Trying again doesn't help

The PRN file is actually a PS file that can be processed by Distiller. Acrobat should not open when you process a file in Distiller unless you set some of the preferences in Distiller to open a completed PDF. To resolve your problem, I am taking you to the most basic aspect of creating a PDF with Acrobat. The process is to print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Then start Distiller and open that file (labeled PRN but actually a PS file) to process. If a PDF is created you are on your way. Printing to the printer without using the print-to-file just automates the process so that you do not have to do the extra step of opening Distiller yourself.
PDF Maker (the create PDF button) is simply a preprocessor for the printer above. Thus if the printer does not work, then PDF Maker will not work. AcroTray should be running as a background application (use ctrl-alt-del to see the background tasks on your system. AcroTray automates the process by recognizing a PRN file was created and starting Distiller to complete the process. If it is not running, then the only way to create a PDF is by printing to file as I mentioned. Thus, the print-to-file process is the basic step in testing your PDF creation capability. I am not sure how much more I can say. May others can make it clearer for you.
As far as updates go, I never do them through the Acrobat menu, but download them directly from Adobe (at downloads>updates). I have the auto update turned off in every version I have.

Creating a Book from selected images in Aperture browser creates empty book

I have been a happy user of Aperture 2 for several weeks now but I have been stumped by a problem when I come to layout a book. Help please!
The problem is that any book I create contains no pictures in the aperture browser - so I can't add anything to my empty books. I have tried everything to get images into my book but nothing works. What is odd is that Projects tab I see that the total number of photos I selected at book creation time is given correctly. I just can't see any in the browser.
I have also tried to drag and drop pictures into the book pages and the project folder but nothing happens.
Any help is much appreciated.
Steve

Hi Thomas,
Thanks so much for replying.
In answer to your question - the bottom bar of the browser does not say anything - and yet the Projects tab lists the book and also the number of images that I selected when I made the New -- Book from the pull down menu option.
I also tried to add images to the book's browser by drag and drop from another project or folder to the name of the book project in the project list. It doesn't work for me.
Very odd as I have been happily importing, exporting and publishing web galleries for several weeks now.
FYI, my Aperture library is about 100 Gb in size with 7,700 photos. I run OS X 10.5.3 on my Intel MacBook Pro 17 inch with 6TB of firewire connected disks.
Any help or ideas are very much appreciated.

Cannot transfer library books from ADE to my Kobo.

Please help. At first when I tried to transfer library books from ADE to my Kobo I got an error message "some file(s) cannot be transferred".I reinstalled ADE and reauthorized ADE and my Kobo, per Kobo help advice. Now I get an errror message that says I do not have permission to transfer the files. Kobo help says the issue is with my library. I contacted Netlibrary (the source of the books I borrowed on line) and they say they cannot find a problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Are any other ereaders easier to use to read library books? Thanks!!

yes i have a book from my local library on my kobo, but the content is locked and i get amessage "please use your adobe id to authorize your ereader with the kobo desktop application or adobe digital editions". adobe can't help

Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.
