In text equations in epub do not format correctly.

Hi folks,
I am authoring a text which uses mathematical equations quite frequently. (These are made with Framemaker's equation and not mathml) I notice, however, that equations (say a three by three matrix) leave white space correctly above the matrix, but that the bottom of the matrix bleeds into the following lines of text. Any way to fix that? The document publishes just fine as a pdf with no problem. thanks! Phil Wood

It kind of depends how the equation is set in FM and what paragraph style follows. This affects the CSS setting used in the epub for the line height properties and consequently the paragraph separations. You might have to tweak the CSS being used in the epub.
If you're using an anchor paragraph to hold the equation, then it may suffice to play with the spacings for just that one paratag in FM. It's sometimes necessary to use a different FM template that makes adjustments to the paratags in order to optimize the outputs created by the Publish module. You can then specify that the tweaked template(s) be applied to your FM content during the Publish step.

RTF not formating correctly

Hi everyone
I imported an RTF document and inlcuded it in my splash screen. I have some lingo that updated the ducumented when the EXE is ran:
on beginsprite me
member("Lawyer_bio").fileName = the moviePath & "Lawyer_bio.rtf"
member("Lawyer_bio").rtf = member("Lawyer_bio").rtf
end
For some reason, the bullet points on my document are not formating correctly. It works fine with some RTF documents, but with other it does the following:
See how only the first bullet if formating correctly, why are the other ones not? Like I said, it doesn't happen with all the RTF documents.
thank you for your time,
Rafa.

Dear Rafa,
Please check to see that the sprite cast you were transferring into was not a accidentally a “field” cast member. Text and field objects have different properties and methods. Both sprites should be Text cast members. (I can visualize the problem you describe occurring if you were transferring into a Field Cast member from a Text cast member.)
Curious about how dynamic your application will be, Rafa.
I did not experience the same problem when attempting to duplicate the scenario you described.
Are the formatting errors introduced when you import the file? Or were they already there in the RTF document before you imported?
The way I would troubleshoot is to ‘put char()’ in the message window, from just before to just after the bullet, comparing that with another Text cast member that has properly formatted text, and discover the anomaly. It should then be easy to write a Lingo handler to detect anomalies and correct the formatting.
Here is the syntax for text cast members, illustrated. By creating two text cast members (“A” eh) on the stage, then go to the message window and try:
set T1 = the member of sprite 1
set T2 = the member of sprite 2
et T1.text ="Hello World"
set T2.text = T1.text
put char 1 of T2.text
put the text of member 1 of castlib 1 -- or use the name of the cast member …
likewise:
put char 2 of (member 2 of castlib 1).text
TEXT cast members are much improved over earlier versions of Director. You used to only be able to manipulate FIELD cast members with Lingo, and the limit to a field cast member was 32kb.
Adobe keeps on improving Director. I wonder if Adobe will revive the Shockwave player, or build Director Shockwave into Acrobat.
I’ve been out of the game for a long time. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

File not formatted correctly error

Dear All,
when am trying to import a contract file as excel sheet, not CVs file, i get the error ( File not formatted correctly ). any advice?

the issue with date formatting would be corrected in Excel. When an export file that includes dates is opened in Excel, they get reformatted by the Excel program. In my experience, I have had to reformat those cells in Excel to the YYYY-MM-DD format and save the Excel file before I could import again into CM. But, if you are just exporting and then importing without opening the file in Excel, then the dates are not the problem. What are you exporting from CM? Are you trying to import into a different project or database than you exported from?

Apple iBooks not formatted correct

i posted this to the wrong discussion gourp
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25408887?ac_cid=op123456#25408887
The problem is my wife purchased some iBooks fromt the Apple iBook store and they are not formatted correct for the her iPad2. What is strange is they can be read on the MacBook Pro using 10.9.2 and the iPad was recently updated.
He books on the iPad go away and it takes a reboot to get them back. All of the older iBooks work.... the new ones are formattted wrong

>My wife has an appointment at the Genius Bar this afternoon to discuss the nonstandard format being sold by iBooks.
B-I-N-G-O The Genius Bar person FIXED it for her!
The problme was the Apple server sent her bad files. The fix was to delete them from the iPad2 and download them again. She was not charged for the 2nd download the three books all work perfect now.
What willl be interesting is she has the good copies on the iPad and the bad copies on hte MacBook Pro. Will synce move the good books iTunes on the MBP or will it sync the bad books back tto the iPad. Stay tuned

Hello colinOxford0917,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iBooks on your devices. If you continue to have issues opening the book in question on your iPad Air due to a format error, you may want to try deleting the copy on your iPad, then redownloading it directly to your iPad from the iBook Store. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Why does text not format correctly when pasting into outlook?

I am attaching a Screenshot of an email to better help you understand.
Basically, I receive an email from customer. I draft an email to respond and send to my boss to get approval. Once my boss approves, I go back to my original sent email and copy and paste into a reply to the original email from my customer but for some reason in Outlook for Mac it doesn't format correctly. It always pastes the text in a sorda column if you will, as though word wrap isnt working. When I send it, it looks even worse to the customer, especially if they are looking at it on a phone. I have looked high and low and cant find an answer. Thanks in advance!
FYI I copied and pasted the text into "Pages" to show exactly what it is doing.

IOS Numbers - Korean Hangul text not formatting correctly in cells

For example, I'm trying to enter the Korean word ‘가면' into cells but the text is not grouping correctly. The final letter 'ㄴ' is not associated with the related syllable. Instead of '가면', I get '가며ㄴ'.
I don't get this problem in others apps, only Numbers. I can copy and paste the correct form '가면' from other apps, but obviously this is a bit laborious.
Any idea how I can fix this please? (I've got 2 keyboards enabled, Korean and english). Thanks.

This may be a bug that only Apple can fix. You can report it via

You might try changing Korean fonts.
Also there are Korean apple forums where someone might know more.

Cfdocument format = PDF - does not format correctly

Greetings
I am simply attempting to print invoices from a query that displays correctly on the cfm result page, but using cfdocument to render a PDF version (to mail out) does not format even remotely close to the cfm page.
I tried every conceivable method I know of, including:
Formating the cfm page (via CSS and hardcoded table width) to be 612 px X 792 px (8.5 X 11 in), and here is the cfdocument code:
<cfdocument
format="pdf"
pageType="custom"
unit="in"
marginbottom="0.75"
marginleft="0.75"
marginright="0.75"
margintop="0.75"
pageHeight="11"
pageWidth="8.5"
mimeType="text/html"
fontembed="yes"
orientation="portrait">
<style type="text/css">
@import url(css/moorings.css);
</style>
<html> blah blah </html>
</cfdocument>
The rendered PDF file is 4.5 X 5 in- (both in IE and Firefox) What am I missing here?
CF 9
Thanks in advance, as always.

Well, in answer to my own question, the solution is in the CSS, using tables and CSS:
set table height and width to 100%
set font-size:100%;
set header font, bolder, larger :125%;, etc.
Also using the cfdocument attributes as shown in the posting
The PDF now prints correctly, margins are perfect.
Now I have to figure out how to loop through the 900+ records, convert each to a PDF and print one copy of each-
Anyone?
Thanks....

On windows 7 my itunes 11 opening screen is not formatted correctly. How do I formatt itunes 11 welcome screen?

on windows 7 my itunes 11 opening page is not formatted and looks different than itunes 11 ads and formatting. How do I get to the itunes 11 welcome screen?

I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

Trailers not formatting correctly in Safari

ITunes Movie Trailers are not playing correctly in Safari. On selecting full screen using the expand arrows in the video control panel in Safari 5.1.10 & OS 10.6.8; Trailer will expand to full screen and the screen will go black, but on selecting play there is no image or sound exept a faded outline of the edge of the Trailer frame that runs off screen and does not play. Trailer plays in defualt size.

Try emptying the Safari cache. Command + Option + E. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, might be an incompatible extension.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Videos not formatted correctly in Windows

I have several videos on 2 different pages in iWeb. They display fine on either Safari or FireFox on the Mac, but do not display correctly on FireFox or IE on Windows. The placement of the videos is scattered all over the page. The videos do play correctly, however.
I would really appreciate help in resolving this problem so Windows users can also see the videos the way they were meant to be displayed.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

I had a similar problem with the video frames "smearing" on IE when scrolling the page.

Why is some of my text not formatted correctly in xml?

Hello,
I've been trying to do some xml publishing via Framemaker 9.
I've created EDD, DTD, rules, structapps, CSS (style sheet), and template files to transition manuals from framemaker to xml. However some of the text I see in the xml file isn't formatted quite right. The element tags are there, but some of the text/paragraph tag formatting hasn't carried over.
What I'm trying to figure out is if this means I have an issue in my rules file or in my stylesheet file? As anyone had a similar experience?
I would appreciate any help and thanks in advance.

No .. I did mean to import the template and EDD into the XML file.
You're saying that when you open the XML you're not seeing the formatting .. that's where the template and EDD need to be imported.
The way a structure application works is when you open an XML file in FM, you are either prompted to select a structure application or it is asigned automatically based on the doctype or public ID. If you've only got one structure application with the "Chapter" doctype, then it should get assigned automatically. It opens the XML file and imports the template from your "Template" file as well as importing the EDD that's been imported into that file. Doing this manually will simulate the process. If it works when you do it manually but not when you just open the XML file, then the structure application isn't set up properly.
Your rules file may be OK, but it's likely that the DTD needs to be tweaked a bit if it's been generated by FM. I would disable all of the CSS settings .. those really aren't needed for what it sounds like you're doing.
This is one of the reasons that I discourage people from using structured FM files. It's easy to end up with a mix of structure (elements) and unstructure (tags) and it all looks fine .. but when you save to XML, you're only going to get the structure bits.
The conversion process from unstructured FM to XML can be very difficult. You need to spend the time to really understand how all of the pieces work (DTD, EDD, etc), and you may want to rethink your model to make it efficient and useful. You don't just want to do a one-to-one mapping from tags to elements .. if you do you're missing the whole point of XML. You'll probably need to set up some scripts and automation to perform analysis and refactoring of the content before conversion, as well as some cleanup after conversion.
Also .. unless you have a really good reason to do otherwise, you should take a serious look at using DITA or DocBook. These models are not perfect, but using one of them will simplify your life considerably and will allow you to take advantage of the huge pool of authoring, publishing, and development support that exists for those models. Developing your own XML model is a big thing to undertake.

Why is my text not formatting correctly - leading issue?

Hi I am having trouble with text formatting. I am creating multiple documents using the same file as a template. I have a text box filling half of the canvas and am copying text into this from a Word document. The first file I created this text formatted fine, however after saving and renaming the file to create the second copy when I replaced the text the line spacing isn't observing the formatting in the character palate - and looks like this. I have tried copying the text into a plain text editor and copying in from there in case it's bringing Word formatting with it, that doesn't fix the problem. Last night I managed to get a work around by retyping the text directly in PS, a labourious chore and not an ideal fix, but this morning even that is not working and it's formatting as in the photo below. Changing the line spacing to auto doesn't fix it. Creating a new PS file and copying the text/retyping the text doesn't fix the problem either.
What else can be affecting the text format other than controls in the character and paragraph palate?

That is odd... did you try changing fonts? Upping the leading? Maybe try pasting the text into a note in photoshop... you can find the note tool nested with the eyedropper, then copy and paste it out of there into your page... I know this is weird... but make sure your text from word is actually in paragraphs and not soft returns...

Fixed Layout EPUB is not displaying correctly in any of the popular epub readers.

Hi,
After creating the doc in the Indesign cc, I exported it to the fixed layout epub format. The result was catastrophic! The images, text, font size - everything was chaos. I needed the epub to be working in ipads and android tablets.
Can anybody help? Need to deliver it to my customer on priority.
I tried the output in ibooks, Aldiko, ADE and a few other popular readers.
Thx
VJ

Hi Ananda,
Adobe Digital Editions has come up with a new update ADE 4. You can view your Fixed Layout EPUB here. Please note that ADE 4 on Mac works fine with FXL EPUB exported from InDesign CC 2014, you might see some issue on Windows though. We are aware of the issues and the team is working on fixing these issues with ADE on Windows.
Readium is also a good reader which displays FXL EPUB fine.

Pooja
