FrameMaker document link to Robohelp

hi,
I have created a robohelp project and also a document in FrameMaker. When i tried to link the FrameMaker document through Robohelp, 'link-> FrameMaker' option is disabled, but it allows me to link a word document. I'm using the trail version of Robohelp9 and FrameMaker10. Is it because of compatibilty issue??

Did you installed these FrameMaker and RoboHelp build from tech com suite DVD or from Individual product DVDs ?
If these prodcuts are not installed from suite DVD they will not show the suite features even in the trial mode!
Hope this asnwers your query

Changing Linked FrameMaker Document File Path

I have moved my FrameMaker document to a new directory. Can I update the file path to the document so that the files are updated correctly? I have checked the property settings for the linked project and it appears that I cannot change the file path. Is my only option to link to the file in the new directory and remove the existing project? If so, will that destroy my existing TOC?
Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, before posting my question this morning I tried the route you suggested and the result was repeated crashes and error messages. Here is what I did:
I removed the original linked FrameMaker file.
I restored the links to point to the new file.
This resulted in the aforementioned behavior. I did not try updating the indvidual chapters - the RoboHelp appplication kept flashing and crashing.
For the record, I am using the latest version of RoboHelp 8 and FrameMaker 9. They are both part of TCS 1.3.
I will try the update again and will let you know if it is successful. Thank you again for the suggestions.

File Link Framemaker Document option not appearing

Edition: Technical Communication Suite 2.5 (Framemaker 9.0.4 & RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2)
Hi all,
One of our new tech writers recently installed the Technical Communication Suite v2.5. I was going to show her our process for linking a Framemaker document to a new project, but when she tried to link to a book the only option she saw was to link a Word document.
She used the same install CDs as the rest of our team, then fully upgraded to Framemaker 9.0.4, and RoboHelp 8.0.2. The rest of the team sees the Link > Framemaker Document option.
I have had her restart her computer after installation. Then uninstall Framemaker and Robohelp, and finally reinstall Framemaker and Robohelp. No luck. I have seen other forum topics where the FM Document option is unavailable (grayed out), but nothing about it not appearing at all.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Did she have either FM9 or RH8 installed as point products? If so, you probably need to fully uninstall and then reinstall

Recommended tool for technical illustrations to be embedded in FrameMaker document?

I'm new to Framemaker and don't know, if this is the right tool for me.
I have written a technical document of about 500 pages using MS-Word. Now I want to figure out, if FrameMaker would be a good alternative. I think it could be.
But one of my needs is to be able to create technical illustrations (diagrams with shapes with text and arrows, lines and arrows linked to the shapes when repositioned).
In my opinion the capabilities of FrameMaker to create such illustrations are very limited.
Currently I create the illustrations using MS-Word-2010. I think concerning illustrations MS-Word is more capable than FrameMaker.
On the other hand the capabilities of Adobe Illustrator are plenty too much for me.
Can you recommend some external tool for creating illustrations, which can be easily integrated into a FrameMaker document?
Regards,
Martin

Import the ai file directly into the FrameMaker doc.
Select where you want the illustration to be located (use the smart select tool and click on the area in your text flow)
File>Import>File
If you want to have the illustration in the document to automatically update when the drawing changes, select Import By Reference.
Once imported you have the option of positioning where you want it to be located relative to the text.
Right click the anchored frame, select Anchored Frame
Select the Anchoring Position, Alignment, etc.
Adobe Illustrator is all you need to create quality Technical Illustrations.

Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

Hello there,
Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
is working fine with environment Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sushil

Hi Sushil,
According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
from 2010 to 2013.
For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
Get-SPWopiZone
The result will be one of the following:.
internal-https
internal-http
external-https
external-http
Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
Get-SPWOPIBinding
In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.
For more information, please refer to the article:

Open Document Link on PO Approval WF

In the PO Approval Workflow, if you have the proper responsibility, an "open document" link is displayed that, when clicked, takes the user to a screen entitled "Notifications to Releases".
This function is available to our Purchasing Super User responsibility but is not available for the Purchasing Approver responsibility. I'm trying to change that.
Using help, I determined that the form associated with "Notifications to Releases" is POXPOERL. That form is assocated with the following functions and menus:
FORM_NAME     FUNCTION_NAME     MENU_NAME
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     CHV_CHVSSWKB_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     PO_POXSTNOT_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     PO_POXPOVPO_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     PO_PURCHASE_ORDERS_GUI
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     POS_INTERNAL_HP_MENU
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_POXSTNOT_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_REQUESTOR_GUI
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_POXPOERL_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_POXBWVRP_FUNCTIONS
I've tried, under Functional Developer, to add several of these to the menu for Purchasing Approver. When they show up on the menu and I click them, I get a message stating: "You are not setup as a buyer. To access this form you need to be a buyer."
All I want is for people to be able to see and use the "Open Form Command". Am I going about this the wrong way?

I was probably not clear enough in my original question.
We want people who are approvers - but not necessarily buyers - to be able to open the form from the link. I'm not set up as a buyer, but I have the Purchasing Superuser responsibility and I can open the form.
I guess, bottom line... some more information on how to make links to eBiz forms work from WF would be helpful. I've not found much in the Oracle-supplied documentation that we have; I've read what's in the Developer's Guide and the Admin guide. Can anyone suggest a web link or two that might shed more light on the process?

How do I add XML content to existing FrameMaker Document

Hello,
I have an XML document that contains features of one item and I want to add data from it to FM document that shows those features. These features have been added to FM previously by copy-paste technology which isn't obviosly the fastest way and I have understood adding them automatically is possible.
I can read XML well and I can produce XSLT files to make another XML files, problem is that I'm a little beginner with FM and help files didn't show any good examples of this (or at least I didn't find). I tried to do some read/write rules, because it seemed to be the way how FM handles these things but they didn't work.
So shortly: XML file (data) + FM file (tables and such) = FM file which have XML data in its tables
I would appreciate any help, like pointing to right help files or such, thanks in advance.

The two main references you need are:
Developing Structured Applications with FrameMaker, Guide
Developing Structured Applications with FrameMaker, Reference
They used to ship with FrameMaker, but you can download them from the Adobe site. Check the Support section. I do not believe they are available for FrameMaker 10 yet, but they are for version 9. No matter your FramMaker version, almost any set will do.
Basically, you need an XSLT that will translate the XML structure into the structure you use in your FrameMaker files. You need a set of read/write rules (see the references above). FrameMaker uses read/write rules to specify how certain FrameMaker objects are to be translated from the XML. Such objects include tables, variables, and markers.
Then you need to create a structured application that specifies where the XSLT, the read/write rules, and your structured template are located on you system.Again, see the references.
Once all of the above is in place, you open the XML file from within FrameMaker. FrameMaker will ask you what structured application to use, which you pick from the dropdown list. It will then open the XML file, apply the XSLT transformation, and copy the result into your structured blank template. That process will likely list several errors, which you may or may not be able to ignore depending upon the resulting FrameMaker document. In my case, these are usually errors about missing graphics, which I already know are missing.
The result is ONE FrameMaker file. You can then copy and paste the information where ever you need it in your other documents. I am not sure whether you can import an XML file into an existing Framemaker document, much like a text inset. Maybe others will know.
Good luck,
Van

How to get the custom integrator in Manage Document Links

Hi All,
My requirement is "Creating Word Documents Using Web ADI", I am following the document
Oracle® Human Resources Management Systems
Configuring, Reporting, and System Administration Guide
Release 12.1
Part No. E13509-02
From page no. 194.In that section, No.8. Use the Manage Layout Document Links page to create a link between the
integrator and layout and the Word template.
See: Creating Links between Template Letters and Layouts, page 2-33
2-33>>
Select Manage Document Links from the Web ADI menu.
But when I click on the "Manage Document Links", I couldn't see my custom integrator to associate my word document with my integrator.
I could see only the standard integrators.
How to get my custom integrator in "Manage Document Links". I could see my custom integrator in define layout but not in this page.
Thanks.
With Regards,
Kali.

Hussein,
Thanks for your reply.
I followed the
Note 360105.1 -Understanding and Using Web ADI in Oracle HRMS, and the section "Letters",
I could follow all the steps, except the following,
The reason is, when I click on Manage Documents Links, I am not getting my newly created integrator.
If I link a standard integrator "HR People Details" to my document, that is opening properly.
But I am not able to link my document with my integrator(which is based on my view).
c. Now link the template letter to the Letter Integrator and Layout.
If not already done so, Add the function WebADI Manage Document Links to your Web ADI menu, and give it a prompt of Link Document.
Select Link Document option , and Web ADI Mail Merge page displays. Choose your Letter Integrator. Link it to the Layout, and a list of template documents uploaded to the database is displayed. Select the template letter to be linked with the layout.
Thanks.
With Regards,
Kali.

BO 4.1+ IE9 document link in webi?

Hello All,
We are using BO 4.1 & IE8 previously. Recently we upgraded the version of IE8 to IE9. When I open Master - Detail Reports, the tool is not behaving properly and its not opening up the detail report when clicked from master report. Is there any possibility to do any settings to work with IE9 for document link in webi 4.1? Thanks in advance.

Hi Sathish,
Thanks for your help. I have changed it in the preferences--WebI--modify--to web. I worked and created the report using document link on IE8. But very recently client has upgraded the version of IE. So because of which the master-detail is not working properly. Are there any settings to be changed in order to work with IE9??

I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer?

I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer? Both computers have OS X10.9.3. Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.

You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

Not able to see document when I click Generate Document link in SSHR

Hi,
I have created a 'Generate Document' link on 'Change Hours' page of SSHR.
But When I click on that link,I am seeing a blank screen and could not get the document.
Please help me in this tio resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Dear Srinivas,
Since I am not able to understand the specifics of the SSHR Page, its slightly difficult to suggest something. If you can share the technical details of the page, it might be easier to make a guess. Btw, in case this is standard page behaviour, Oracle Metalink might be a place to look out for resolution.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.

Linda Li
