Have FM File - Need to Generate EDD to Convert to Structured FM

My client has a number of FrameMaker 10 files that need to be converted to Structured FM. I've converted and structured files many times, but I have a problem: there's no EDD.
I've done minor editing on EDDs, but never created one from scratch. What should I do?

Hi Lisa,
Your client must have a spec of the structure of final documents. If they have dtd or schema, you can derive the skeleton edd from them.
Also you can use your structure conversion rules as starting point to develop edd. Simply create new edd (Structure Tools -> New EDD) and start creating element definitions. I usually do it top-down, starting from root element and create elements and their types, attributes and general rules (skipping formatting rules). After the 1. version edd is in decent shape, import the edd to structured documents created with conversion to test edd's functionality. When edd's elements/attributes and rules are ok, i start adding formatting rules to edd.
If your client exports/imports stuff to/from XML, you also need to create corresponding read write rules, dtd/schemas etc. and create the structured application in Frame.

  • Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

    Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
    Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
    This is generating pdf successfully.
    As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
    Please see the following attached sample file .

    In R12 ,
         We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :

    idxDoc = null;
    out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
         In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
              public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
              public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
              public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
              public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
    Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
    Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
              Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
    But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
    Appreciate any help/suggestions.

    Have framemaker files generated on mac in 2000 want to incorporate data into indesign cs 6 for pc?

    They're Apple HDV, not ProRes. QuickTime Player on Windows does not have a decoding component for these files--and as a side note, you don't need to install the ProRes decoder since that has been built into QuickTime Player for some time now.
    Anyway, you can get a third-party decoder for these files: Calibrated{Q} XD Decode. Note that Apple changed something in QuickTime 7.7 and the Apple HDV clips will not work with it; you'll need to roll back to no later than 7.6.9 to use the component properly. You can get that version here: Old Version of QuickTime Player 7.6.9 Download - OldApps.com.
    I have a method of converting these to a format that can be natively handled in Premiere Pro, but it's not really suited for large quantities of files like yours. Calibrated XD Decode isn't exactly cheap ($130 on sale right now), but it will get you up and running with minimal effort--that's probably worth the admission price.

    Please guide me how to generate in specific folder.
    Thanks in advance.

    First, LabVIEW 7 allows you to pass string and path data types directly into the Matlab script node. Otherwise, in LV <= 6.1 you can do the following:
    In LabVIEW, convert the string to an array of U8s using the String to Byte Array function. Then pass the U8 array into the Matlab script node as a Real Vector type. Finally, in Matlab, convert the Real Vector to a string using the char() function. For example:
    stringAsString = char(stringAsRealVector)
    Attached is an image that shows how to do this.
    Good luck,
    -Jim

  • Report Plugin: ATML 2.02 need 2 report files how to Generate Names

    TestStand 2012 SP1, have setup 2 Result Processing.  The issue is the informaton needed for the Report Filename and Directory are not known until later in the flow (after entering Part Number and Serial Number).  TestStand doesn't generate the correct filename, due to the data not being available, and because the data isn't available the Generate By Expression isn't functioning.
    I have gotten the Generate By Expression working, but only by adding it to the ReportGenerator.seq.  To continue with this approach, how to I determine which report is being generated so I can have 2 file names/locations?

    I had to add into the NI_ReportGenerator.seq, Model Plugin - UUT Start because the variables are not available until after the data is entered in Batch Start.

    Dear Sriparna
    First step is to create a UDF (user defined function). Create One input and create two output varaibles for this UDF.
    It will have two objectives
    1. to create source node of the target message (output1_
    2. to create the node B for the target side
    As per your requirement you need to create the Source Node of the target message as per the value of B ( if 2 then two source nodes at target)
    In the UDF take B as input
    int b = B[0];
    for(int i=0;i<b;i++)
      output1.addValue(" "); //you need to map this out put with the source node of your target
      output2.addValue(i+1); // this field should be mappoed with the field B of target
    Hope this clears your confusion
    @ gagan: for a requirement like this handling the logic in mapping is the right way to do, I dont think we should go for OS commands

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road.

  • I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  what needs to be corrected?

    In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  What needs to be corrected?

    I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
    You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
    The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
    Some things to try.
    Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
    If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
    If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

  • Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs?

    Does Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs/processes?
    Information:
    I've installed Solaris 10 (10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC, Assembled 16 September 2009) on a half dozen servers and every one of them no longer mount swap at boot.
    The install program commented out the old swap entry and created this one:
    # grep swap /etc/vfstab
    swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
    Everything works like a champ. I didn't discover the issue until I tried to install some patches and the install failed. It didn't fail because of lack of swap - it refused to run because it found "No swap devices configured".
    Here are the symptoms:
    # swap -s
    total: 183216k bytes allocated + 23832k reserved = 207048k used, 13600032k available

    I assume that you create a zfs entry for swap with the commande zfs create -V $size

    Try this entry below in the vfstab :
