FrameMaker 9 plug-in for DITA Open Toolkit/ RoboHelp 8

Hi -
Does anyone know where to download the FM9 plug-in for DITA-OT?
Also, do you have to have the FM9 DITA-OT plug-in installed in order to import a Ditamap into RoboHelp 8? I am working in a Windows 7 Premium/64 bit enviroment... RoboHelp 8 crashes/stalls whenever I try to import a Ditamap.
Thank you for any help/suggestions -
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca...
There is no FM9 DITA-OT plugin .. you're supposed to use the FM8 version (last I heard). This plugin *was* available from here ..
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/framemaker/fm8_opentoolkit.html
but it doesn't seem to be available now. Hmm. Perhaps someone else knows where it is?
RoboHelp 8 uses the DITA-OT to import DITA into RH. Based on my testing, it doesn't seem to work with DITA-OT 1.5, but it does work with DITA-OT 1.4.2. Create an empty project, then run the Import > DITA command. You select the ditamap to import, then you'll get a dialog that you specify the location for the DITA-OT (all the rest of the fields in this dialog are optional). The import process can take some time if you've got a big map .. try a small map to start off with.
You don't need the FM DITA-OT plugin installed (or FM installed at all) to do this. The other option for getting DITA into RH is to generate a FM book from your DITA map, then import the generated FM files into RH.

Adobe FrameMaker 8 plug-in for DITA Open Toolkit

Has anyone gotten this plug-in to work? I'm getting error messages about unexpected version numbers.

Hi Michael...
If you're getting a DitaOpenToolkit menu, then you probably don't have the FM8 DITA installed (if it was installed, the OT plugin is added to the bottom of the DITA menu as "Generate Output"). If you're testing DITA-FMx (the likely reason that the default DITA plugin would be uninstalled), it comes with its own Generate Output command by default. Don't use the Adobe OT plugin with DITA-FMx (it might actually work, but it will confuse things further).
The Adobe OT plugin was created with OT 1.3.x in mind, and works reasonably well with that version of the OT. It does work with later versions, but you need to make sure that the environment variables that are defined by the startcmd.bat file are declared globally. The OT 1.3.x required this, but the OT 1.4.x provides a batch file with declares the variables within a shell. FM8 DITA requires these variables to be global.
To confuse things further .. DITA-FMx provides a setting in the ditafmx.ini file that lets you just point to the startcmd.bat batch file (actually a slightly modified version) so it's easy to use the OT 1.4.x.
Best of luck! :)

Installing FM8 Plug-in for DITA Open Tool Kit

Dear all,
I am facing some issues while installing the DITA Open Tool Kit.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Details below:
- I have FM 8 installed on my laptop.
- I am installing the Dita OT version 1.2.2 using the installation instructions given on the adobe site.
- I have already installed the Java Development Kit, Apache Ant, JavaHelp, SAXON, an XSLT and Microsoft® HTML Help
- I have tested the build and its successful.
NOW, when I launch FM 8 I just don't see the DITA menu. I am so confused.
And my FM seems to be too slow.
I have checked and re-checked all the installation steps and I don't think I have missed any step. But DITA menu does not appear.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Regarding my recent build failure from the DITA Open Tool Kit:
Additional testing reveals that I can get a successful build from the command shell window when I run the startcmd.bat file and type ant samples.web -f build_demo.xml. Also, the \out directory is successfully created in the dita-ot folder.
An unsucessful build occurs when I type ant all -f build_demo.xml. This command is recommended in one of the DITA documents (Evaluting the DITA Open ToolKit fullpackage version). Apparently, it tests the "full set of transforms from a single command" so that it "will process every DITA example in the Toolkit into each of the supported output types for the Toolkit."
Here's the build failure message:

Frame 9 plug-in for DITA OT problem

I have installed the Adobe FrameMaker 9 plug-in for DITA Open Toolkit. Clicking the new menu item DITA> Geneate Output doesn't spawn the Generate Output dialog box but rather skips over it and immediately gives the error message wanting a DITA-OT pathname. I reproduced this problem on another machine with a evaluation copy of Tech Suite II. I've gone over the simple instructions several times and can't see where I could be going wrong. Has anyone else installed this successfully and did you encounter anything that might help me?

Hi Rick...
Unfortunately the instructions are not all that clear. You need to complete the info under the "Current File Method" section before the Generate Output dialog will display. Just add the following content to the ditafm.ini file (fminit/ditafm/ditafm.ini) ..
[BuildFile]
AntCommand=ant
AntScript=ditafm-ant.xml
Count=2
DitaDir=C:\DITA-OT1.4.2.1
1=chm
2=html
Oh .. make sure the DitaDir parameter points to the actual location of the DITA-OT on your system. Also, you must have the OT set up so that it will run from *any* command prompt (not just the one you get when you run the startcmd.bat file provided with the current OT). The startcmd.bat file sets the necessary environment variables for use within that shell .. for FM to properly call the OT, these environment variables must be set globally for all command shells.

How to Install Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera

I need someone to walk me through how to install a Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera.
I haven't used photoshop in ages and I got a new camera. I have been on the phone with Adobe (no help) and spent a couple of hours online trying to figure this out. I'm confused, frustrated and about to throw my computer out the window.
Also, I placed this in the "Photoshop for Beginners" since Photoshop CS5 doesn't appear anymore. I know CS5 is outdated but I spent hundreds of dollars on this program and you would think adobe would still honor its product.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
AJ

Odds are cs5 is too old. If you do a search on my the main Adobe website there is a list of compatible cameras for the last known update to camera raw for cs5.
Each version of Photoshop only gets so many updates for camera raw then it is necessary to upgrade Photoshop to get the next update for camera raw.
So you currently have 4 choices.
1 upgrade Photoshop
2 get Lightroom - latest version
3 get Photoshop elements -latest version
4 get dng converter - this will download the latest version an is the only option that is free.
The dng converter can be found by searching Adobe website.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Is there a plug-in for Firefox 4.01 that allows tabs to open at the end? Millions of people do multiple searches on eBay and Craig's List - it is a pain to have to look at the results after each search instead of reviewing them when the searches are done

The the only answer I have found to this question does not apply to Firefox 4.01. The Plug-in for allowing tabs to open at the end that works in older versions of Firefox does not work in 4.01. I would like to know if there is a plug-in that works for 4.01 or when or if we can expect one.

Open new tabs on far right, restore pre Fx3.6 behavior, set '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' to '''false''' in '''about:config'''
For more information see item #36 in ...
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-ins were still presented but no programs opened, of course. after reinstalling the plug-ins one of the programs appeared twice in the list but not the others. I´m going to reinstall them again and I´m wondering if there is anyway of erasing the links to the plug-ins under "photo" and "edit in" ???

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Using a SharePoint CMS connection for DITA

I'm experimenting with a CMS connection to SharePoint in FrameMaker 10, for DITA work, and I have several questions.
1. When I create a new DITA topic, I don't have an option to "Browse CMS" and save the file there. This option is present when I create a regular FM document. Am I missing something in the FM-DITA setup?
2. How do you check in a file with a comment, save the changes, and spawn a new version all at once? Everything I've tried either loses the changes, fails to add a comment, or reverts the version to 1.0. Can someone provide step-by step instructions?
3. Is there any way I can search in FrameMaker for custom SharePoint metadata ("columns") created in the Document Library -- columns such as "Audience" or "Product"? The Advanced Search options don't show these columns.

So, I followed your steps, creating a document library and then adding the "Link to a Document" content type.
Then, I used the ribbon function to open up an explorer window. Into that window, I attempted to drag a shortcut from my desktop.
In response, I got this error:
Copy File
An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.
Error 0x800700DE: The file type being saved or retrieved has been blocked.
I can use a "New Document" to create an entry in the page. However, that entry is a .aspx file.
The user who I have been working with is trying to create a library of .url files that he could then sync to a desktop.
I know how to go into central admin and unblock .url files.
I just don't know why they would be blocked in the first place, and whether there is some other kind of web part or thing I could create that would allow him to create a library of links that could be synced to a folder.
Are there any other out of the box ways of performing this?

Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''
