FrameMaker and Printing

Strictly speaking this could be classified as a bug fix, but I'm going with feature request.
Adobe should rip out the current print routines in FrameMaker and replace them with the same ones that work so reliably in InDesign. I (and probably every other FrameMaker user on this planet) am totally p***ed off by the whole "ensure your default printer is Adobe Acrobat [Professional], download and install this secret framer's business hotfix from Microsoft, get all your fonts into this sequence, wait for a full moon and pray to the sun god" experience.
The present File > Print and File> Save as PDF process is totally Borked!
Example: I tried to print a 20-page FrameMaker 8 document yesterday after saying the requisite number of Hail Mary's (and I'm not Catholic). And yes, FM is up to date, as is Acrobat and Win XP. Crashed every time. So changed to using the HP4300 PS (emulation) driver and saved to file (as .ps), then ran the result through Distiller. Success! But that's even sillier than trying to tell a customer that Windows Vista will run bug-free on a Pentium 4 PC with 1GB !
Enough, already!
Stop explaining what position the user should assume (without even offering KY lube to ease the pain).
Just fix it!

Hi Laurence,
If you can produce PDFs from the AdoebPDF via ID and AI by printing, then I'd suspect that the driver is probably ok. (Note: from ID and AI, it is better to SaveAs PDF, since these have their own internal PDF generation capabilities.)
Also, with FM8, if you're making interactive PDFs (i.e. not for press), then it is ok to do the SaveAsPDF route, since FM has some post-processing modules that kick in to clean-up the .tps file prior to handing it over to Distiller. So, the process is no longer is identical to printing to file and distilling.
On the FM side, make sure that the tagged PDF setting is turned off in your PDF setup and have the setting for generating named destinations for all paragraphs enabled.
You also might want to download Sundorne's SetPrint ( http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm ) utility to ensure that you always have the same printer instance (AdobePDF) enabled when you start FM.
Have you also applied the MS hotfix for the PDF font issues? Details are available here: http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2008/07/hotfix_for_framemaker_1.html
Last desperation move would be to create a new custom PDF printer instance using the Distller PPD and a copy of the AdobePS installer.

FrameMaker 8.0p277 and printing to Acrobat Pro 8 & 9

All this year (2009) I've been working on several contract documents using FrameMaker's conditional text facility.
FrameMaker is 8.0p277 and the OS is Windows XP Pro SP3.
In May the old workstation became cantankerous so I updated to a new HP xw4600 with a Quad Core, 4GB ram, and 2 x 250GB SATA disks. Cool!
I applied all the MS updates and then treated myself to a clean install of Adobe Design Premium CS4, then installed and updated FrameMaker 8.0 (without the PDF Maker). The Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 in CS4 was patched to 9.1.2.
If I open a document in InDesign CS4 and print it to the 'Adobe PDF' printer everything works just fine. Same for Illustrator CS4.
But FrameMaker fails with this message:
... followed by:
I have also attached the most recent FrameLog fiole...
Howsomever, if I print the same document to my HP laserjet 4300dtn (or the laserjet 5200 or the FujiXerox DocuPrint 2100) it works just fine. So I assume the document itself is OK.
If I select the printer to be one of the 3 above and then print to file (and create a .PS file), and then open it in Distiller 9.1.2 it produces a perfect .PDF file (shades of Acrobat 3 and the watched folders here!). But, if I select AdobePDF printer as my output device before generating the .PS file, Distiller reports parsing errors and does not produce output.
With a doffed hat to Arnis and Dov I refrained from trying 'save to PDF'
This looks like a corrupt printer driver...
After talking to Adobe Support (ID 121 702 309) I have tried each of the following (and then re-run my testing cycle as outlined above):
Running the 'Repair Acrobat Installation' process from Acrobat Pro 9.1.2.
Setting Acrobat PDF as my default printer (strong whiff of "eyes of a bat and wings of a newt" about THAT suggestion).
Un-installed and then reinstalled Acrobat Pro 9.1.2.
Un-installed and reinstalled FrameMaker 8.0p277.
Un-installed and then reinstalled Acrobat Pro 8.1.4.
Un-installed and reinstalled FrameMaker 8.0p277.
Sworn loudly.
Anyone have some ideas / fixes / incantations???

Problems with RH 9, CBT, and Printed Documentation

When I upgrade an x5 project in the new RH9, all appears to go fine until I try to generate the Printed Documentation. I was disappointed that the printed documentation STILL requires so much cleanup. Text tagged with the Online condition sometimes displays on some topics, even when Online is excluded from the output. Also, some of the cleanup issues surrounding headings and index entries are still necessary.
The four biggest issues are:
1) If a "book" TOC heading also has content (a topic associated with it), a double-heading appears in the printed output. You have to manually remove all these extra headings in the cleanup process.
2) All index entries appear in the paragraph BEFORE the actual heading they mark, instead of after the heading, resulting in the Index not being correct (if a heading appears at the top of the page, the Index points to the previous page where the index entry resides, instead of the correct page). I have to manually go through the entire document and move each index entry to the paragraph AFTER the heading it marks.
3) Robohelp ignores the exclusion of Online conditions on some random topics. There is a workaround to "trick" Robohelp, but it takes *a lot* of time to do. To "trick" Robohelp, I had to generate a printed manual and make a list of all topics that "slipped" through. And, then edit each topic where the online condition was ignored, by adding an extra, empty paragraph to the end of each topic that had:
·         a single paragraph of text (aside from header and footer info)
·         ends with bulleted list (and no extra paragraph marker following)
·         ends with a table (and no extra paragraph marker following)
·         ends with a figure (and no extra paragraph marker following)
·         ends with see also\How do I\misc button text (and no extra paragraph marker before the seealso/how do I listings)
4) I noticed that when I opened a topic for the first time in Robohelp, the Online condition sometimes gets applied to incorrectly tagged text (it wasn't tagged this way in the x5 content). This requires me opening each topic in the upgraded project, and checking each topic to make sure the online condition is applied correctly in each one (a very tedious process, especiallly if you have a doc set of over 1 mil words!).
Expected results:
Printed doc does not contain double headings. Index entries appear after headings. Conditional text behaves as it is supposed to behave (and if you tell Robohelp to exclude the ONLINE condition, it does it for ALL topics).
Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for this? Yes, I have the latest build. We held off on upgrading to previous releases of Robohelp because of the Printed Manual problem too (it seems like each version created more clean up work). :-( I logged a bug on the Adobe forum.Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Mr. Grainge,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful answers back! I appreciate you taking time out to write such a thorough reply. I hope Adobe appreciates you! You're number one in follow ups!
Unfortunately, your answers did not solve my problems. But, you did give me some ideas on where the problems could be occurring. So, thank you!! Before I begin: In answer to your question, yes I *am* using the supplied Style Mapping template (I never had luck with the custom one myself). Also, I am going to hold off on replying to 1) and 2), but I'd like to share my answer on 3) and 4), which is really just what I need to get Printed Documentation working in Robohelp 9 the same way it worked in x5.
A little history: I have a set of about 50 help projects that span many versions of our company's product, and multiple versions of Robohelp (some even go back to the 90s!). They even include some help projects that were originally in Frame/WebWorks but were later ported to Robohelp. There's a lot of history to them.
Investigating the Problem: When I opened an x5 project in RH 9, I noticed that some of the timestamps on the .htm files didn't match the rest of the files. It turned out, that these very same files that were the ones giving me problems with the Conditional text! That's when your thoughts about the mapping came to mind...As I said, my project spanned mutiple versions of Robohelp. I wondered if some of the coding on the .htm page was being parsed incorrectly on upgrade, and if if that was the reason why RH couldn't update the pages (which explain the unchanged timestamps). In other words, I wondered if Robohelp was mapping the styles correctly on import. So, I compared these unupgraded .htm files with ones that did upgrade, to see if there was something on the code page that could be causing the problem.
Solution to Fix 3) and 4) above:
I'm going to list out everything that I did below, however, not everything on this list applies to everyone. But, hopefully it will help you, if you ever run into this scenario yourself, and it might give you some ideas on how to get your HTML files working. So, before upgrading, here is what I did:
I opened my old CSS in a text editor and removed all the Robohelp autogenerated comments.
In Homesite, I did a bunch of Search and Replaces on a copy of the older x5 project. I looked for code that may have been generated in an earlier version of RH,and for unusual structures in the meta and style declaration area that could be causing conflicts. Here is a list of my search and replaces below:

After I did these all these search and replaces in the copy of the x5 version of the project, I opened the project again in RH 9 and upgraded it. After the upgrade, I checked the timestamps on the .htm files to make sure they all changed. They did! It worked! Everything upgraded properly this time... I tested the Printed Manual output and no conditional text slipped through this time. Yay!
In Summary:
This is what I learned if you are having problems with Conditional text and Printed Manuals in an upgraded RH project:
Always make backups of your older projects before you upgrade anything. I know this is elementary, but I thought it was worth reminding.
Check the timestamps of the files after you upgrade the project. If there are a group of files with timestamps that aren't similar to the rest of the files, chances are Robohelp was having trouble converting those files.
Try looking at the HTML code in those files and see if anything looks out of the ordinary. Some examples are above.
If you have already ported the RH project and it's too late to go back, go look at the file timestamps anyhow. For all the older files, try opening each one in Robohelp and add a space or something (to force RH to change it), and save it. I didn't have the time to verify this, but it seemed on most instances: when I forced RH to save the file manually, it updated correctly and the problem with the conditional text went away. (This option takes longer, especially if you have to do each page individually, but it's worth a try, IMHO.)
Aside from the initial Printed Manual woes, which are resolved, the upgrade process from RH 9 really was seamless! Best I have ever seen! Everything just works! Awesome is a word that comes to mind.
Printed Documentation output does work on upgrade, but in my opinion is: it is no better than it was before, in previous versions.
I wish there were more fixes to the Printed Manual output. When you have a product help system that spans multiple versions, contains over 2.5 million words, and 10,000+ topics, having a lot of cleanup on the production end is costly. What use to take a person on my team less than a day to generate 50+ PDFs in FrameMaker, takes 4-5 weeks man-time in RH. I will outline my opinions in my next reply to this thread.
Thanks again, Mr. Grainge!

FrameMaker and SDL Author Assistant

I just attended a webinar on SDL's Author Assistant (a content Management software)that looks like a good solution to some of my technical manual issues regarding consistency with terminology and general verbiage. It is supposed to be compatible with FrameMaker. We are currently using InDesign and are open to changing to Framemaker if this software is everything we hope it is.
Is anyone out there using this software with Framemaker for printed documents? I would be interested to know how it is going and anything I should "watch out" for.

Hi,
FrameMaker will only produce RGB output for printing. Frame 9.0 has the ability to produce CMYK pdf, but it is still buggy, and you will have to wait until the bugfix comes.
There are also some issues with printermarks and "crop box/Art box" information. If you use printermarks, you will have to manually position the pages in your page output program. (CTP setter)

FrameMaker and ArborText

Can two groups within the same company, one using FrameMaker and the other using ArborText, open and edit each other's documents and then bring them back into the original program?
Thanks!
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I'm currently investigating this very situation.
Historically, the big issue has more to do with the XML parser: some parsers are lax where others are strict when interpreting the spec in gray areas. You need to know where those gray areas are if you're mixing applications. This is true for lots of other programming languages as well and not unique to XML parsers (ask any software development team why they choose a single compiler to standardize their work on).
As to the other issue, Scott's right. Pretty printing can also cause problems. For the record: Arbortext does not pretty print, but it does wrap at 80 characters (historical reasons). However, when it does so, it always wraps on XML-whitespace-irrelavant places (i.e., between attribute values) or at existing whitespace nodes (space between words).
The key thing is to be aware of how different applications treat the underlying files and make sure that any post-processing code that you write isn't depending on let's call it application-specific behavior. (InDesign has a heavy dependence on whitespace.)
I also agree with Scott: I wouldn't try this with anything other than the latest FrameMaker. Adobe has done some amazing work to make it really XML friendly.

Display and print color matching

Hi all. I need help because I'm coming crazy.
I use Lightroom 5 to organize, edit, print and share my photos. I use an iMac 27" with Maverick installed, I calibrate the display using X-Rite color munki Display. I have a Canon 9500 Mark II printer and I like printing on Canon Fine Art Photo Premium Matte (FA-PM1), I also have a little Epson Stylus Photo P50.
Here we are…I want Lightroom to manage the color when I print and I select the right Icc profile for the printer and the paper but when I print with the Canon printer the prints came out with incorrect colors; last attempt the print came out too magenta. How can I make sure the printer is not managing the color in the printer dialog box? There is nothing that say "none" or "no color management". I'm getting better results with the little Epson printer rather then the more expensive Canon printer.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks a lot.

Unable to schedule a report to email and print

I have been working on a task to both print and email a report to recipients whose email addresses are obtained at runtime. So far I am able to email the report as a PDF attachment, however, I am not able to get the report to print. I have three thoughts as to why the report is not printing.
1. The printer is in a subdomain under the domain where InfoView and the Enterprise server reside.
2. It is not possible to schedule a report for both an SMTP and print destination simultaneously.
3. The format is causing an issue in printing - the SDK API states "Printer is a report format specific destination and can only be used when the report object is a Crystal Report."
I have looked at the scheduled report in InfoView and can see that the print settings I am passing are correctly set for the scheduled instance. Does anyone know if there is a problem with trying to schedule printing and email at the same time, or if the report format must be .rpt?
Below is my code. Thank you for your time.
String query = "Select SI_ID, SI_NAME, SI_PROCESSINFO, SI_SCHEDULEINFO, SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_ID=" + reportId;

Hi Jason,
Based on your code, I could not tell if you were scheduling a Crystal Report or a WebI document.
Regardless, what I would suggest is you try scheduling the report/document on InfoView.
Once you schedule it on InfoView, you can retrieve the instance on Query Builder (or through code) and compare the properties that are being set through InfoView and the one you set through your code.
This should indicate if you are missing some properies or have set some properties incorrectly.
Hope this helps.

Dan

I created an application to open a PDF and print it directly on the default printer. This application works if the file is a Windows' network address (example: \\192.168.0.4). But if I put an internet address (URL), the Acrobat Reader presents the following error:
There was an error opening this document. The syntax of the name of the file, folder or name of the volume is incorrect.
The command I'm using is:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe\" /t http: \\192.168.0.4:8082\test\file.pdf \\192.168.0.15\HPLaserJet
There are print directly as a URL?

You need a Smartform, SAPScript, or AdobeForm to be defined for your output. Define an action/method for print, then pass the data to your Form. SmartForms are not bad, as SmartForms generate a Function Module, and are easy to call.
Call the SmartForm Function with PDF output = 'X' (parameter within Output Control I think). Then pass the PDF_DATA[] table (type = TAB_SOLIX) to a new window output .
Don't have the code in front of me, but have done it several times.
Adobe Forms is another good option, but you need Adobe Server, and generally I have found ADOBE to be SLOOOOOWWWWW. I think Steve Jobs might have been on to something with ADOBE -- just my opinion.
And of course, it can be done with SAPSCript, but I would need a whole blog on how to do that.....

Pages - Share and Print - Email document issue

I ran into an issue today on my iPad2 and wanted to see if it was just me or can anyone reproduce this error. If it turns out to be just me, someone help me undertand how to get around the issue. If it is more widespread, where do I report this so it can be resolved in an future release?
Here is what happened.
I received a Word document via e-mail. When I opened it in e-mail and chose to "open with Pages" it worked fine. Imported into Pages sans the font (which I've come to expect). Then I edited the document (it was a quick survey I was taking) and then was ready to send it back to the person who sent it to me. I chose the tools icon, selected "Share and Print" then selected "Email Document" and then chose Word as the format. It converted it and attached the file in a blank e-mail ready for me to address and send.
Well, I wasn't ready to send just yet. So I clicked on "Cancel" and then "Save Draft" which it did successfully. Then I went into email, edited my "Draft" in my Drafts folder, addressed it, etc. and sent it on its merry way. Well, guess what? The file did not come through on the e-mail. Just my text.
I tried "copy and paste" of the file after saving as a draft and it only sent the "picture" of the file ICON and not the file itself. I tried multiple times saving it as a draft and then sending and it never worked.
If I send from within Pages right at the time after "Email Document" is selected, it works every time. It seems to only be when I save the email as a draft from within Pages that it will not send the attachment or something happens to the attachment. I did notice also, that if I edited any "text" from that draft and then saved the draft again, all my edited text wouldn't save either. So any "Draft" saved from Pages I couldn't edit regardless of any attempt.
Draft saving and editing within the email application works as expected.
NOTE: Just before submitting this discussion, I tried the above on my wife's iPad2 with the same results. Anything "saved as a draft" from Pages in e-mail, will not send the attachment. Anything sent directly from within Pages and not saving it as a draft, will send the attachment.
There are times I would like to save it as an attachement, should this work? Thanks everyone!

I am only vaguely familiar with iWork.com. I know it is a cloud based way to share documents with others, but this is what the send to option does when you work with Pages, Numbers or Keynote on the iPad. I would assume that the function performs the same way in iWork.com. - but it is only an assumption.
"Send to" is the command that will let you send that file to your computer the next time you sync with iTunes. It is the way the iPad transfers the file to your computer - the iPad method of file sharing. You can sync files back and forth from iPad to computer with file sharing as long as the app on the iPad is compatible with a similar application on your computer. In your case iWorks apps on both the iPad and your Mac.
This article will explain it in great detail for you.

To upload a RTF and a PDF file to SAP R/3 and print the same through SAP

Hi,
I have a requirement to upload a PDF file and a RTF file to SAP R/3 and print the same.
I wrote the following code for uploading a RTF file to SAP R/3 and print the same. However, the problem is , the formatting present in the RTF document( bold/italics..etc) is not being reflected when I do the 'print-preview' after the executing the code below :
report z_test_upload .
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
         rec type string,
      end of itab.
data: options like itcpo.
data: filename type string,
      count type i.
data: filetype(10) type c value 'ASC'.
DATA: HEADER LIKE THEAD    OCCURS   0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: NEWHEADER LIKE THEAD    OCCURS   0 WITH HEADER LINE.

Hi Vishwas,
Check out the thread [Efficient way of saving documents uploaded|Re: Efficient way of saving documents uploaded by users; and check the blog by Raja Thangamani.
Also check the thread [Export Images through Function Modules   |Export Images through Function Modules;.
Hope it helps you.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I am a teacher, and I would like students to be able to view my comments on printed versions of their papers. I know word displays the comments off to the side of the document, and those comments can be viewed all at once and printed alongside the document.

There doesn't appear to be a way to print conmments in either Pages or Numbers in the Mavericks versions.
