Is it possible to add rollover text in PDF generated from FM11?

Hi
I am creating a documentation using FM11. In this, I have used quite a few terms. Though I have given their definitions as a separate section within the FM file, I also want the definitions to be available a rollover text. Is that possible? For example, when the learner moves his mouse over a term called "Project folder", a tooltip-like text should appear with the description of "Project folder".
If not, can I give the description as a pop-up window that will work in PDF?
Worst case scenario, I will have to go with "Jump to Named Destination" feature in FM to take the learner to description section and ask him to use "Previous View" (in PDF) to get back to the position where he came from.

P.S.: I have read that Shlomo Peret's Timesavers can do the job for me. But, for now, I am not looking to buy anything.

Is it possible to add a text box to an image in Aperture?

is it possible to add a text box/caption to an image in Aperture? (I do NOT have photoshop)

Do you want to write it directly onto the image? Then install and use the free BorderFX plug-in for Aperture. It will let you write text annotations directly onto the image or onto a border.

You can download BorderFX for Aperture from here: http://www.iborderfx.com/BorderFX

Is it possible to add highlighted text in an iBooks interactive textbook using VoiceOver?

Is it possible to add highlighted text in an iBooks interactive textbook using VoiceOver?

The only way you can add read aloud to an ibook is by using easy epub code editor. (Go to itunes and look it up). This app works on the ipad and is the ONLY app that can generate smil/xml code for read aloud. The only thing is that you cannot use it on anything but a raw epub file. You cannot use it with ibooks author or with any other file. Hope this helps.

If is possible to add new local var to sequence from the outside?

If is possible to add new local var to sequence from the outside?
I mean insert a new local variable to Sequence.Locals list or via expression, or by LabView VI (Sequence Context). or any another way.
Thanks.

Hi,
The simplest way would be to use the API TS method PropertyObject.SetValBoolean, PropertyObject.SetValNumber or PropertyObject.Set ValString. With the SequenceContext you create a PropertyObject using the method SequenceContext.AsPropertyObject, which you use as the reference for the the SetVal method.
For the SetVal method, pass the full lookup string of your variable eg "Locals.MyString" and set the option parameter to 0x01 (insert if missing).
If you are calling this from LabVIEW, then use the SetVal property VI.
This will insert a varable into the Locals that is "in scope" of the step that is performing the task.
In the TestStand Help - "Using the API in Different Programming Languages" and in the TestStand User manuals there is more information to help you.
This will only make a runtime version of your Local. ie when your sequencefile stop executing your Local will not exist in the Static version of the Sequence File.
Hope this helps

Is it possible to add markups to a PDF that I am not the author of

Most of the PDFs I generate are from other applications (like Autocad) where I "print to PDF" to create the file.   Most of the PDFs I recevie are generated the same way.   Prior to Acrobat Reader 8, it was simple for me and my collueges to exchange information on these PDFs by using markup tools and resending them with markups.   Since Acrobat 8 has come along, I now find it impossible to markup a drawing (no matter if I have created it using Print to PDF or if someone has sent it to me). I went to the knowledge base and see that the drawing has to be enabled for markup in one of 2 ways
In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.
Start the wizard to initiate a shared review or an email-based review and follow the on-screen instructions. When you’re finished, commenting is enabled in the PDF that you specify for the review.
Well, there is no Comments selection in my toolbar.   Second method is given by
Quickstart: Start an email review
An email-based review lets you track review status and merge received comments into the PDF.
Click Review & Comment and choose Attach For Email Review.
If prompted, enter your identity information to create a reviewer profile.
Follow the on-screen instructions to select the PDF, invite reviewers, and send the email invitation.
If your email application doesn’t send email automatically, you may need to answer alert messages and switch to your email application to finish sending the message
But there is no Review & Comment button to click.
So, can someone tell me, can I still do a simple markup of any PDF?   Even if I have to jump through hoops can I?    I guess I can understand Why Adobe has done away with this feature in their free tool, as they were not getting any revenue off of it, but it greatly diminishes the usefulness of Acrobat Reader and therefore all PDFs for me.
Thanks in advance for your response.

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Is it possible to add documents (word files, pdfs, jpgs, zip files) to dvd?

Hello
I have my film compressed on dvd and was wondering if it is possible to add a folder with some files...word documents, jpgs, etc?
Thanks

Hi Bruce
Yes, you can. There are a couple of ways to approach it.
The first is to simply include the folder, and have some kind of written instruction on the DVD, or in the box, as to how to find them. So there's no intelligent linking between the DVD video and the extra content. To accomplish this, create a folder manually in the Finder (eg "Temp"), create a subfolder within it called, for example "Extra Content", and then find the "DVD-ROM" section in the Inspector, tick "Content" and browse for your parent (Temp) folder. The Temp folder does not get added to the DVD, but its contents (the Extra Content folder) does.
The second is to make the DVD more interactive by making links between the DVD content and the additional material. So, for example, you can build a button which automatically opens a Finder window of the Extra Content folder. You should look at the "DVD@ccess" feature in the Help menu / user guide to find out more. This tends to be less reliable, since Mac users have to set DVD Player to use DVD@ccess links, and PC users have to install a piece of software that DVD Studio Pro puts onto the DVD.
If possible, I would recommend the former, just because it's easy and doesn't depend on extra software.

Randomly Missing Text in PDF Created from FrameMaker

This problem relates to a structured FM document, but I suspect it might be a general issue and have posted it here in the general forum for that reason.
I am generating PDFs that are missing text somewhat randomly throughout. I tried searching the forum for solutions, but none of the suggested fixes worked and none of the posts specifically addressed the issue I am experiencing.
I am working in structured FM. The templates we use were originally created for FM8. We use both FM8 and FM10 in our work group. We are able to duplicate the same problem in both versions and on multiple computers.
I thought I had narrowed the problem down to certain paragraph formatting, since it only ocurs in three or four paragraph formats (a bullet list, table text, etc.) Garden variety formatting. But in most places in the document, these formats appear perfectly. The strangest occurence is a single intance where the page number is missing from the footer.
I thought it might be a font issue, as I've had similar issues in the past. I had a missing font warning in the console, but I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with it, since they are fonts we are not using and all the other text from the same formats appears.
I tried turning off "Remember Missing Font Names" in preferences. No help.
I checked that the fonts are in the local directory and appear as embedded subsets in the PDF.
I also tried checking and unchecking the "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" option in the PDF output settings. Also no help.
The randomness of the missing fonts bewilders me and I've exhausted my own troubleshooting abilities. I would be happy to share a source file if anyone thinks they could help me that way.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

There is a known bug in Windows XP that causes random dropped text in
PDF. The hotfix is here, though the link does not seem to be working at

Is it possible to add static text to a TOC?

Hi, Gang!
My editor has suggested that I create an annotated TOC by adding a few sentences of descriptive text under each chapter title entry in the TOC. This static text would fall between the chapter title entry and the listing of subheadings within the chapter.
While I could create this static text as a final step, manually formatting the TOC around it, I would much prefer to create this text so that it survives updating the book (and TOC).
Is this possible? The only thing I can think of is creating some markers of some sort and storing the static text as marker variables and then somehow having the TOC pick up that marker and display the text in the appropriate place, but I'm not sure if that would work, nor how I'd do it.
I welcome any suggestions for accomplishing this.
Many thanks!

If you have the content in markers, you can do a list of markers. Be sure to create a custom marker type.
However, I do not believe one can create a list of paragraphs (a TOC) and markers together in one list. If you did both, your last step would be to move the marker entries into the TOC list. Of course, this is not preserved during book updates, but you would not have to rewrite the inserted text.

Is it possible to add files to a PDF form submission?

Hi there,
Someone asked me to add an attachment field to a PDF dynamic form. Based on previous research we figured out that will not be possible: our users don't have Acrobat - just Reader - and we won't purchase Reader Extensions. How about using a form field to help the user send the attachments that a are required with that give form? For instance:
- User would fill in the form and when asked for attachments he/she would browse for the file.
- The form would save the file name as text on the form (like the answer for a text field)
- The PDF form would memorize the location of the file(s)
- When the user hits "Submit" the PDF form would gather the files listed for attachment and add them as attachments - in additon to itself - to the email created by the submission button.
That way the attachments are not saved as part of the PDF form, but the PDF form is automating the process of adding them to the submission email.
Is that doable with LiveCycle Designer? Any tips on how to go about coding/building those actions?
Thanks in advance,
AV

If your user is using Adobe Reader and wants to add an attachment to your PDF file... you need Adobe LiveCycle Designer Reader Extensions to do that...
If your user is using Adobe Acrobat Pro then u can add attachments with this
var myDoc = event.target;
var sFile = "myFile" + NumericField1.rawValue;
myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile);
var sFileName = myDataObject.path;
ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile);
NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;
you can also remove the file
myDoc.removeDataObject(sFile);
you can also open the file
myDoc.exportDataObject({ cName: sFile, nLaunch: 2 });

Is it possible to add a number of PDF files together?

I have found a book on Oxford that has not been published and I have the permision of the writers widow to attempt to get it published. It is in loose leaf format, roughly 400 pages and I have scanned it in OCR and PDF.
The problem with OCR is that it has introduced a large number of erors which will take a long time to correct although it does alow flexability.
The problem with PDF is that I can not edit it and what is worse I scanned it into PDF in five files because I was worried that I may loose the document just as I got to the end.
I know little about PDF although I do have Adobe Reader 7 on my computer so my question is: Is it possible to connect the five files together or am I obliged to go back to the very begining and scan the whole lot again?

It depends on which version you want. standard runs around $300.00 and Pro for around $450.00.
You can see the different features by going to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html, You can purchase at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/?promoid=BPDDU

Is it possible to add bookmarks to a PDF file with Adobe Reader for iOS?

In the App Store write-up on this app, it said that one could "Use bookmarks to jump directly to a section in your PDF file." But I don't see how one can add such bookmarks. Do they only mean that you can use bookmarks that were already in the document before you open it in Adobe Reader?

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

Is it possible to copy bookmark text between PDF's please?

Hello - am new to Acrobat so hope this is not a really dumb question. I am working on a series of Powerpoint documents which I then convert to PDf's. The cli
ent wants these bookmarked by section. (170 slides all individually labelled by content so they can go straight to different sections)) These documents are then updated monthly and I wondered if there was a way I could save or copy the bookmarks text that I have created to save typing it all in again every time I create a new PDF? Thanks in anticipation.

In the old document with the bookmarks use the menu Document > Replace Pages...

I checked your suggestions after week end today and found that
the suggestion of Nalla did not provide the result in my required format
rewrite it as l_email_text := l_email_text||CHR(10)||l_exm_text;
Peter & Krithika:
I used html tag <BR> when and where needed and its gave me result in my required format
e.g.: l_exm_text := l_exm_text ||'<br>'||rec_examined_ctrs.category ||': '||
rec_examined_ctrs.total;
Now I want to know if there any html tag thru which I can define the column number so that my text will start from there.
means any html tag replacement of lpad (oracle funtion):
Thanks

GUI Rollover Text

Is it possible to incorporate rollover text into the custom GUIs for Photoshop? For example, if someone places their mouse over a checkbox, I would like a description of what would happen if that box is checked, just like if you hover your mouse over a tool on the Photoshop tool palette for a few seconds. Any ideas?
var w = new Window('dialog','Rollover');
w.cb1 = w.add('checkbox',undefined,'Test');
w.show();
How would I get the checkbox above to pop-up a rollover text when the mouse is over it? Is it even possible to do this without creating a new window or using an alert?
Thanks in advance for any help!
dgolberg

Almost every contol has a helpTip property. Setting the property does what I think you are asking.
var w = new Window('dialog','Rollover');
w.cb1 = w.add('checkbox',undefined,'Test');
w.cb1.helpTip = "click the box to do something";
w.show();

Is it possible to add rollover text in PDF generated from FM11?
