Option to select RoboHelp settings.ISF file missing in FM12

Hi
I am not sure if this query comes under FrameMaker forum or RoboHelp, but since I did not see RH Integration category in FrameMaker forums, I am posting it here. Moderators, please move it to the right forum or let me know if I have to delete it from here and post it elsewhere.
If I wanted to publish a WebHelp output from FrameMaker 11, I had an option of selecting my settings.ISF file, which had all my FM-RH styles mapped, and publishing it. But now, in FM 12, I don't see it. I have to select the CSS file and re-do the mapping all over again.
Am I missing something here? How can I feed the ISF or mapped doc to FM so that I don't have to do the mapping everytime I publish the Webhelp output from FM12?
Thank in advance.

Well put, Arnis. I could not agree more.
In our team, I take care of creating these RH Settings file, master page, skin, etc. that is needed to publish a WebHelp output from a FM book (typical single-sourcing approach). Our team comprises of people who are new to one or both of these tools. Even though I tell them that there is minimal or no post-RH import task involved in this process, the very thought of working with multiple tools acts as a demotivator.
When I saw the WebHelp output option from FM12, I was excited that I can increase the adoption rate now. I looked at the options and even found the browse sequence here which was missing earlier. But then, when I noticed that there is no way I get my copyright info on the footer, the balloon just burst.
I am sure I am not the only TCS user who has copyright or similar criticial information like company name, author name, year of publication, etc., in the footer. So, I simply cannot understand how the powers-that-be decided that users will be ready to publish WebHelp (or for that matter any other) output without that information. If not through master page, they should have provided some other option to add this info.
Anyway, I guess we can only hope that some sense prevails in the next release atleast.

  • RH can't open the settings.isf file. NOW what am I to do?

    I have TCS 2 and am linking FM9 book to RH8 project.
    I had some problem with my TOC and couldn't figure it out, so I decided to start a new RH project and relink my book. When I tried to load the settings from my stetting.isf file, I get the following error message: "Experiencing problem opening the setting file. Please import another settings file." I don't HAVE another settings file. THIS is the one I have worked to build over the last four MONTHS. I tried exporting settings from other projects, and it tells me it exported successfully, but gives me the same error when trying to load the settings file. Please, please help me. I am supposed to be done with this project today.
    Missy

    That's a good idea Peter. I've attached some screen shots, and here are the steps I followed:
    Open project that has the FrameMaker to Robohelp settings defined.
    Select File > Project Settings
    In the Project Settings dialog, select "Save Settings to:" In this example, I used the following location: C:\test\settings.isf
    Click ok.
    Click File > Close Project
    Open the project that I need to import settings into.
    **Note that this project uses the same template as the project I used to export settings; in other words, it has the exact same set of paragraph tags, character tags, colors, cross-ref formats, etc defined.
    Attempt #1: I am trying to import my settings BEFORE linking the FrameMaker book.
    File > Project settings.
    Load Settings from:
    c:\test\settings.isf
    Note the error message (screen cap attached). I'm not sure where it's looking for the file, but it isn't the location I specificed.
    It seems to be looking here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Local Settings\Temp\IFSfolder
    Attempt #2 Link the Frame book and THEN try to import the settings. Same results.

  • TS2755 Since updating my iPhone 5 to ios7 my phone has trouble sending iMessages. Sometimes it won't send the message and will not automatically send it as an SMS despite this option being selected in settings. It's happening with 3 other people I know to

    Since updating my iPhone 5 to ios7 my phone often fails to send iMessages. It won't automatically send as an SMS despite this being switched on in the settings section.  This is also happening wig my partners phone and my mothers phone.  I want to report it to Apple but I don't know how.
    Firstly, is there a way this can be reported to Apple so they can fix the bug? And secondly, does anyone have any suggestions in relation to fixing this problem?
    I usually love my phone but I am finding it unreliable at the moment and am wishing I didn't update it.

  • Sidecar file missing - correct status on selected items

    Hello,
    how can I correct the 'sidecar file missing' issue on several selected items in a LR2.3 Catalog?
    With an external program named 'exiftool' I have manipulated xmp data (xmp:urgency) on selected images by means of a filelist.
    During this process LR was running and the LR catalog setting was set to 'automatically write changes to xmp'.
    Before Exiftool writes into an exisiting file, it creates a copy and renames the file ending with '_original'.
    Hence, since LR was running LR was aware of what's going on and took notice of the changes for each file.
    After I verified the process to have completed as anticipated, I went to delete the '_original' copies.
    Back in LR the question-mark icon appeares for the manipulated files (that are fully intact - not a problem there).
    Clicking the question-mark on a catalog item provides two choices:
    - continue tracking
    - forget (meaning clearing the link to the missing file).
    So far so good. But what about when this is the case for many items?
    Selecting these items and then clicking the question-mark does not apply the selected choice 'forget' the selected items.
    I wonder if there is another way of getting rid of this question-mark (indicating missing links).
    I am aware of the workaround of simply removing the items in question from the catalog and reimport them (synchronize folder).
    Tried to importing the metadata from disk, but that does not help in this case (this is logical and correct).
    But I also wonder why this function cannot be applied to a selection of items while most other functions can.
    Feedback is appreciated.
    Thanks for your attention.
    Hans.

    On my friend's server 9, the initals are selected in the drop down when the page loads. On our server 7, the initials are not selected and just the first option that says "PNR Initials" is displayed in the drop down when the page loads. So if the initials "AG" are entered into the database already, the initials "AG" should be displayed in the drop down menu when the page opens. We are using the exact same code at my company and my friend's company, but it only works at his place, but not mine and we're not sure why other than the fact that he has Cold Fusion Server 9 and we have Cold Fusion Server 7.

    I feel your pain.
    I have experienced the exact thing.  restore from itunes OR iCloud has successfully restored all my settings, EXCEPT EVERY-SINGLE-MSG.  lol.  Nothing.  Even repeated it., no luck .
    It seems to be a hit or miss.
    I've read people from 3GS-i5, 4s-i5, not having the issue....meanwhile, you and I are lucky enough to have experienced it.  Oh and also it's not across the board.  Some people only lost certain SMS which weren't in their contacts...how odd?

  • Illustrator's font is different for some reason and hard to read, I need to change it so i can read all the tabs and file names. Like file, edit, options, type, select, effects..... swatches, layers.. every tab is in a different font that is hard to read

    Illustrator's tabs are all in a different font that I can read.
    I need to know how to change it so I can get back to a steady workflow.
    For example..
    File, edit, options, type, select,  effects, view, windows, help..... pathfinder, layers, swatches, stroke, and the file name (all the tabs)
    are all in a different font, I don't know how it got changed but now it is different.
    This is a shared computer so someone might have changes it on accident but I'm not sure.

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.

  • Alternative for selecting ISF file in FM12 Webhelp publishing

    Hi
    I am currently evaluating TCS5/ FM12 as an upgrade from TCS4/ FM11.
    In TCS 4, I could create an ISF file that contains my FM-RH style mapping and use that file in FM to publish the WebHelp. Now in FM12, I don't see the option to assign the ISF file. Instead, I need to start all over, first pull up the CSS file that contains the custom styles I added in RH, and then create a STS file which stores my style mapping.
    Is there any other way out? I have about 70+ styles, mapping and testing them again would be a crazy task!
    Thanks in advance.
    Sreekanth

    Sreekanth,
    Perhaps you can create a custom HTML template [AFAIK, that's essentially what the RH master page is - I don't know if you can export this from RH, as I don' use it much] and use the option to import an HTML template:
    Addendum: see Adobe FrameMaker 12 * Using HTML page templates

    In the most recent version I cannot get this trick to work, however. But try it anyway, maybe it is just my macthat has an issue.
    Did this happen directly after the update? Where is your library located, on an external or an internal drive? Are your originals managed or referenced?
    I'd try next to check, if this is caused by the library, by creating a small test library and trying to trash pictures there. If it works well in a new library try to repair the database and the permissions on your regular library.  See:

    Cannot see the video behind the title even though I select the option to do so, what am I missing?

    hauntnh,
    I assume you're referring to the fifth video, "Add a title to your video." Did you drag the title to the V2 track, as explained at 2:33 in the video? Also, if your main video in the V1 track is not sitting below your title clip in V2, you won't see the video behind the title because there won't be anything behind your title.

  • Missing User settings and files after disabling Filevault on Lion

When the machine rebooted it had wipped out all my settings and files it would seem. After a bit of searching i found my files in the /Users directory. However the files are placed inside a folder called myusername.fvCopy. If I change any settings in my account like removing apps from the dock and reboot the changes haven't taken effect when it boots back up.
    I have no idea what to do about this.
    Any help is much apprciated.
