FrameMaker to RoboHelp to EPUB for side notes

Hi,
I have a FrameMaker 10 document with side notes (paragraph style has format "Side Head-Alignment"):
I then import into RoboHelp 9 and generate an EPUB document. The result is that the "Note" label is right justified on the body:
Can you tell me how I can change it so that the Note labels in the EPUB are automatically left justified above the note body instead of right justified? There are hundreds of of "Side Head-Alignment" paragraph styles in the document I'm working with and want to avoid doing this change manually within the RoboHelp GUI.
Thanks,
Byron Harris

I have moved this post to the Fm Integration forum.
I'm not following why you would want to paginate on a style that has no text before the next pagination. That would just give you a topic with a heading.
Beginning to look like a bug.
Could you create a line of text in Fm that you could then delete in Rh?

Error--Instance DVEBMGS00 for system SID not configured

i am changing the instance profile in Basic Mainenance.

Instance DVEBMGS00 for system <SID> not configured
But this system is running for the past one year.
Please let me know what i can do in this regard

Hello Balaji,
Your question is not very clear. Could not understand what you mean by "When i increase teh Dialog instance and click on copy,". Please explain all the steps you are taking.

LATINOS ARE SCREWED with final cut pro x. Everytime I use tildes like á for example. FCPX freezes and restarts.... really is a bummer. And on a side note, Color Curves? 3 Wheel Color Wheels? XML support? Can´t wait for multicam. God Bless!

With final cut pro x. Every time I use tildes like á for example. FCPX freezes and restarts.... really is a bummer. PLZ FIX. Here in Colombia I can not use FCPX for projects which involve names or text. (ALL PROJECTS)
And on a side note, Color Curves? 3 Wheel Color Wheels (color board is great, but i didnt read a 400 page book on 3 wheel color correction for nothing) ? XML support? Can´t wait for multicam. God Bless!
FCPX IS GREAT. It really is. Just a few features are required.....

I think the idea that an acute accent can also be called a "tilde" is total nonsense.

Ilustrations being modified in FrameMaker to Robohelp output

Hello all,
I noticed a problem in the FrameMaker to Robohelp conversion output. I am using TCS, Framemaker project linked to Robohelp. Outputs are EPUB and Webhelp. My issue exists in both EPUB and Webhelp output.
Some of my source images are in EPS and in AI format, as these formats print nicely in PDF. Some of the illustrations include dashed lines. When I convert the projects, in the Robohelp output, the dashed lines are replaced by solid lines. I contacted support and their response is: Ai, SVG and EPS file format is not supported with Robohelp
This puts a damper on the concept of "single-sourcing" since I'm finding I have to make more and more manual tweaks to my source...
Has anyone run into this? Did you find a solution? I'm not an expert in Illustrations, so kind of stuck here.
I can convert these images to JPG or PNG, but such text based images don't look good in PDF in these formats. (the text is not sharp)
Any ideas? Since I own TCS 4, would I be able to contact support for AI and ask them to help me with finding appropriate AI conversion settings so that my JPG and PNG images (converted from AI and AI EPS) look good in print?
Thanks.

Couple of things – in the Conversion Settings screen are you having RH use Distiller to process the images? If you aren’t try that & see what the result is like. If you are, turn it off & see what happens. Your other alternative is to generate PDFs of the images and include them by reference in the FM source (conditionalized of course so that they only end up in your RH output) & conditionalize your original images for PDF output only.

Text Frame Options. Room for Side Heads added without warning

Hi -
I just got asked this and have no clue how to help. Anyone know what this is?
Every now and then, my Frame file will –apparently on its own – reset most of its text frames into having room for side heads. Makes for lots of bad labels on graphics – everything’s suddenly offset and scrolling off the bottom.
This will happen suddenly. It will usually be only one or two chapters in a book, but if I ignore it has been known spread like the black death throughout the book.
The only solution I’ve found so far has been to revert to a backup or touch each text frame individually. Setting properties for two at a time messes up location on the page.

HI -
Here's what I heard back.
I believe it’s for everything except main text flow, including headers&footers on master pages, and special elements on unused master pages.
It appears to be spontaneous, but I can’t guarantee that.
I don’t use MIFs, and I’m pretty sure no one else does.
Yes to formatting imports , because we frequently change variables in one chapter and copy them back to the rest (esp date doc was last edited – not same as print date per our regulatory agency.) Likewise conditional text. We know not to copy from a file into itself in a book, although it has happened and we do exchange manuals between revisions at times.

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

Remote Data Source Settings for Lotus Notes CWS

I have installed the Crawler Web Service for Lotus Notes on a box seperate from Machine hosting Portal Server. After that I did all the migrations successfully at the portal side as mentioned in installation guide. But while configuring Remote data Source ,in Authentication Page , i am not getting an edit box to specify the User ID file.Its just have edit box to specify password.
Its taking the last user id that was used in the Notes Client on that machine, or more specifically the KeyFilename setting in the Notes.ini file
How can i set the User ID File(to be considered).
Moreover there is an error
An error occurred while validating the remote XUI service. Verify the Web Service settings, including the SOAP Encoding Style.
Can anybody provide pointers on configuring the Remote Data Source for Lotus Notes database
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
I would check this with the Lotus Notes guys. If the mail is OK in SOST, then SAP is delivering the mail correctly. There is something wrong with the Lotus Notes client itself. I have seen this same problem and I have alos witnessed the HTML email to crash the whole Lotus client. (This lead to a situation that it was just easier to send the plain text emails.)

Karri

RoboHelp HTML v9 - Browse Sequence not appearing when generated

RoboHelp HTML v9
New project - eg not converted from previous version
Added a browse sequence as per the help documentation - I've followed the help documentation however when I get to view result of the generated WebHelp - the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages that were added to the browse sequence.
I read previous forum postings for RH8 - where reinstalling or repairing the software seemed to assist - however when I access through control panel - add/remove programs the only option in to Remove RH9.
So I thought I'd ask the question here before uninstalling.
There was also mention of a dll file that needs to be registered on the viewers pc before the browse sequence would appear and if this is the case due to the possible audience for the publish I would not be able to control that.
Any help is appriciated, thanks.

Hi
Thanks - I guess I was looking for the page icons that visualized the
sequence for the viewer.
That being said - the navigation arrows are present in my published file
however seem to hold no functionality - while on a topic that is within
the browse sequence clicking the arrows does not move through the
sequence.
I was initially looking for onscreen navigation for a series of topics -
I though browse sequence would do the trick but I think I will move to
another method.

Hi there
Your mention of: "the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages
that were added to the browse sequence" seems to imply that you are
expecting to see the sequence directly on those pages. But that usually
won't happen.
Perhaps it will help to start by viewing the link below:

Then come back with any questions you may have.

EPub graphics are not sized correctly

ePub graphics are not sized correctly after transfering ePub to my iPad using iTunes.
I am running indesign 6.0 on microsoft system 7 and transfering the ePub to my new iPad (32gb 2048 x 1536 resolution).
The graphic is set for "custom rasteration" with size set to "relative to page width".
The graphic displays correctly in Adobe Digital Editions but when I transfer the ePub to my iPad it appears full size.
If i set the cover to "Rasterize first page" the graphic on the cover is sized correctly but the graphic in the document is full size.
When i create the identical file using inDesign 5.5 everything works correctly.
What am i doing wrong or what setting am I not setting correctly?
Thanks,
Dennis

Welcome to the world of how different EPUB readers handle the same HTML and CSS code.
I just did a test with a picture which had the Relative to Page Size and Custom Rasterization settings from InDesign CS5.5 and CS6.
As far as I can tell each version of InDesign is writing the correct code but in a different way. ADE responds to it the same, but iBooks on your iPad does not.
Here are the details: I created a 45 pica wide text frame and anchored a 14 pica wide graphic frame.
InDesign CS5.5 exports the relative size as part of the image tag like this:
<img width="31%" src="images/CMYK%20balloons_fmt.jpeg" alt="CMYK%20balloons.psd" />
InDesign CS6 creates a class for the <div> tag for the graphic frame and references it in the CSS it creates. Here's the HTML:
<div class="frame-2">
<img class="frame-1" src="image/CMYK%20balloons_fmt.jpeg" alt="CMYK%20balloons.psd"
/>
</div>
Here's the CSS for frame-1:
img.frame-1 {
width : 27%;
I would say that both of those are correct code. However, iBooks handles the CS6 version differently.
Here's how the CS5.5 version looks in iBooks:
And here's how the CS6 code looks:
It handles it differently. So I'd say, if it's important that on the iPad, that it be smaller, you should edit the code to insert the scaling attribute into the HTML tag instead of the CSS,

FrameMaker - CMS - RoboHelp

Hello, hoping someone can answer this one for me. I am using TCS v3.
We create documents using Structured FM, which are currently imported into RoboHelp, but we would like to move toward linking the files in the near future. Currently, we are looking into using a CMS like Alfresco with FrameMaker. I have been unable to find a way to link the files that are checked out via the CMS into FrameMaker with RoboHelp. What I would like to do is as follows: Create Structured Frame file and upload into CMS for editing / reviewing by multiple authors, link this file into RoboHelp, have any changes made to the file after check out / check in using CMS be reflected in the linked RoboHelp file.
Is anyone aware of a way to do this outside of having to pull the files off the CMS to link them in RoboHelp, then copy them out of the CMS each time they are changed? I am looking into using Alfresco, but am definitely open to other CMS if they can accomplish what I need to do.

By CMS, do you mean what software should you use to produce your electronic output from Fm?
In Fm12, you can do the lion's share of formats directly from the app, including Responsive HTML5. The process is analogous to what you're currently doing with Rh, so if you already have that set up, you will have a few admin advantages to maintaining that workflow.
Other options exist like:
mif2go (as Arnis mentioned)
webworks
import each time into Flare
and each have their own issues with setup, maintenance, and workflow. Having already invested in s/w and setup, I doubt you'd be happier by reinventing the wheel.

HT4059 How do you highlight and make notes on a PDF book? I can do so on my ePub books, but not PDF. Is there a trick?

How do you highlight and make notes on a PDF book? I can do so on my ePub books, but not PDF. Is there a trick? I would like to avoid a second app for this.

I wasn't aware you can edit PDF's in iBooks.

Need guidance for ePubs for iBooks

I'm a professional formatter and have converted files to ePubs for several years. Now some of my clients want to upload directly to iBooks with an Author account. Since I'm a PC person I don't work with MACs although I myself have an Apple account (I have an iPad and iPhone). Lately several clients have gotten stopped at the upload because Apple says that the file they are trying to upload has spaces (that's the way my conversion software saves ePubs). So my question, should I be sending my clients special ePub files for iBooks with new space-less file names? It's not a problem, I just need to know to do this. All of my ePubs are validated through IDPF.

I found this at p. 46 of the iBookstore asset guide:
"All characters in the URIs must be valid with non-alphanumeric characters properly encoded (e.g., space should be encoded as '%20'). This problem most often surfaces in URIs in the NCX files and is due to spaces included in filenames. "
Via an account at iTunes Connect, you can normally get all the various guides produced by Apple regarding books (BookProoferUserGuide, iBookstore - Publisher User Guide, iTunesConnect_Publisher UserGuide)

IDK for Lotus Notes/Domino

A customer has asked us if we can build an IDK for Lotus Notes/Domino in Lotus Script.
We've validated that it's technically possible and now it's time to figure out how to approach the problem from the business side, i.e. do we do it as a consulting project, a closed-source/for-profit product or as an open source product.
I'm leaning toward open source, but first I want to see if anyone out there would benefit from a Lotus Notes/Domino IDK (aside from this one customer of ours).
Thoughts?

I quite new with OIM, but not at all... For sure, I need to configure a connector for Lotus Notes / Domino.
The main points in my question are (USING A connector for Lotus Notes / Domino):
- How can I create 1 user account (and related data), on different servers (IT Resources), with different "mail templates", when the data should be the same, and the user mail database, should only be a replica on the the 2nd server
- Maybe, I need to configure 2 distincts IT Resources, and run both (through Provisioning Policies), when I need to provision a user, as described in my scenario (above), right?
- In the 2nd server, I dont want the user to be created with a new mail database (neither new user data, as shortName, IDfile... ).
I want that same data, and a replicated mail DB is generated on the 2nd server (webmail server)
Is it possible, how can I configure this within OIM connector for Lotus Notes / Domino?

Office web app error for one note only

There is strange error in my SharePoint 2013 farm with OWA. Everything works fine except for one note.
If you click in the notebook on the left hand side of the site, for first time everything works fine. When you try to click the same link second time, either server error comes up in chrome and nothing in IE. If i deactivate the web feature one note and
reactivate it, it works again for first time and nothing comes up for the second time. Error i see is
WOPIFrame -Unhandled exception: System.TimeoutException: The open operation did not complete within the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. ---> System.TimeoutException: The read
from the pipe did not complete within the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
