Reloading DITA file with xref gives UNDEFINED CROSS-REF FORMAT! in FM8

Hi,
I'm using structured FrameMaker to author DITA files that are to be converted into .chm and pdf. I'm using fm-xref for hyperlinks to preserve the linking in the pdf output. However, I don't want to use the pre-defined cross reference formats (e.g. Figure, See_Title_and_Page) and so I defined my own (simply using the <paratext> building block).
However, when I reload the document, my new format is lost and it results in an UNDEFINED CROSS-REF FORMAT! message in place of my cross-reference. I've also tried changing an existing format but it reverts back to the original when I reload the document.
Is there somewhere that I can change the default cross-reference formats permanently?
Grateful for help.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian...
You need to add the new cross-ref formats into the template(s) in order for them to be available in your documents.

String paragraph tags in cross-ref format

Is there a way to string together Paragraph tags in a cross-reference format?
I have a document with two Paragraph tags: ManualTitle and ManualSubtitle. In another document, I would like to insert a cross-ref to the first document that contains ManualTitle and ManualSubtitle.
This is what I tried to no avail:
See <$paratext[ManualTitle]> <$paratext[ManualSubtitle]> for more information.
Because I have to select a Paragraph format when applying a cross-reference, I am only allowed to select either ManualTitle or ManualSubtitle. So...if I select ManualTitle, it only shows the text applied with ManualTitle (which, incidentally, is a variable). If I select ManualSubtitle, it only shows the text applied with ManualSubtitle (which is also a variable).
Do I have to manually concatenate these two by simply making 1 cross-ref for
See <$paratext[ManualTitle]>
and another for
<$paratext[ManualSubtitle]> for more information. ???
Thanks in advance!
Anne

Anne,
In order to reference multiple paratags, you need to first manually
insert a cross-reference marker (and use the titling as the content
for the marker) in the document that contains the Title and Subtitle
tags. The best location for the marker would be at the end of the
sub-title, keeping in mind FM's behaviour of searching backwards from
a specified location to find matches.
Then, in the document that you wish to insert the cross-reference,
make sure that you have the Cross-Reference "Source Type:" set to be
"Cross-Reference Markers". Once you point it to the file with the
titles, the cross-ref dialogue should show you the appropriate marker
target(s). Select that target.
Now you can edit the cross-ref format to include the paragraphs as you
initially tried. FM will now search backwards from the marker location
in the target document to satisfy the criteria of your format request
and find both the ManualSubTitle and ManualTitle paragraphs.

Custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_YYMMDD_0023.cr2? I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such, as well as extract only the camera file

Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2? I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example). Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.

In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

While linking dita file in Robohelp gives an error.

The following error comes while linking with one framemaker dita file into Robohelp. Please Suggest ?

Wow! That's a long file path. Try moving the project to something shorter (e.g. C:\rhsource\<Projectname>) and try again.

Export Excel Table in .txt File with space delimited text in UNICODE Format

Hi all
I've a big unsolved problem: I would like to convert an Excel table with some laboratory data in it (descriptions as text, numbers, variables with some GREEK LETTERS, ...). The output should be a formatted text with a clear structure. A very good solution is
given by the converter in Excel "Save As" .prn File. All works fine, the formattation is perfect (it does not matter if some parts are cutted because are too long), but unfortunately the greek letters are converted into "?"!!!
I've tried to convert my .xlsx File in .txt File with formatting Unicode and the greek letters are still there! But in this case the format is not good, the structure of a table is gone!
Do you know how to save an Excel file in .prn but with Unicode formatting instead of ANSI or a .txt with space delimited text?
Thanks a lot to everyone that can help me!
M.L.C.

This solution works in Excel/Access 2013.
Link the Excel table into Access.
In Access, right-click the linked table in the Navigation Pane, point your mouse cursor to "Export", and then choose "Text File" in the sub-menu.
Name the file, and then under "Specify export options", check "Export data with formatting and layout". Click "OK".
Choose either Unicode or Unicode (UTF-8) encoding. Click "OK".
Click "Close" to complete the export operation.

5D Mark III RAW Files with LR 4.1RC - Cross Pattern Noise

While processing a images from this past weekend taken with the 5D Mark III... Images taken at high ISO (6400 and 12,800) with no noise reduction show a very clear criss-cross pattern across the image faintly. Once you apply about 20 on the NR slider, it will go away. I do not see this with the in-camera JPEG's or with Canon's DPP software with no NR applied to the RAW files. Is this a known issue that will be corrected for the final release of 4.1?
Here is a crop showing this happening. It is not limited to just dark or light parts of the image, but the entire thing.

How to reload image file with metadata

Usually I capture pictures in RAW and import into Aperture library. A lot of them is not very good or very important, but after making rate, adding keywords, I want to output them from RAW to JPEG.
And then, import back those JPEG images into the same library with other "good image" RAW.
But, how to keep all the JPEG in same album with rate and keyword?

try this, but test it first. You could use referenced imaged in your library. Do set you library to automatically create previews. Set the preference for Previews to the quality you prefer for the saved JPEG images. Use the "Update Preview" option to create previews of the image you want only the JPEG version of. Once you have a preview of the images you only want a JPEG of, move the original out of the referenced storage location.

Adobe premier cc stopped importing avi files with PCM audio codec, unsupported audio format

We were working just fine using Adobe premier pro cc, we captured videos in avi format video codec MJPEC audio codec PCM. Suddenly, I think after updating using cc, premier stopped importing any file giving the following Error message: The file contains an unsupported Audio format. We have captured more than 4000 hr from our library, and we are still capturing, our work is completlty freezed, we can not export to any format since we can not import in the first place. Our rivals in the market are taking our client and they are using old premier cs6 cracked version, this is ridiculous!! I installed adobe cs6 trial and it is working fine, this is very frustrating.

Restore Active Directory on Server 2008 using NTDS.DIT file

hello
I have NTDS.DIT file with me and want to restore it on same hardware with same host name and IP
Please help

Hi Rochak,
You have only the NTDS.DIT file?
No its not possible to restore the AD only using NTDS.DIT. You need to have the System state backup.
System state backup and restore operations include all system state data: you cannot choose to backup or restore individual components
due to dependencies among the system state components. However, you can restore system state data to an alternate location in which only the registry files, Sysvol directory files, and system boot files are restored. The Active Directory database, Certificate
Services database, and Component Services Class Registration database are not restored to the alternate location.

Converting Word Files with Backgrounds

I've created a Word file with a background by going to Format/Theme and choosing Slate. When I convert the file to .pdf, it fails to capture the background. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? It is an integral part of the document and I need it to transfer to the pdf as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, apparently the background does not print either. That is a terrible shame. So, it is not object data at all, and thus Acrobat won't print it. I'm left with creating a background image behind text then in order to make that work.
If anyone else has any ideas, it would be of great help.

Importing files with same name but different extensions

Hope I will be clear enough.
Lets say that instead of sending a file from Lightroom to an external editor, I open it directly in Photoshop.
When I'm done, I save the edited photo using the same name but in a different file format : IMG_1333.cr2 > IMG_1333.psd or IMG_1333.tif, and selecting the same folder location.
Then, I come back into Lightroom and synchronise the folder.
Why is the knew version of the picture not showing up beside the original file, despite the different extension ?
I notice that the different extensions ( .psd or .tif ) are recorded in the sidecar files field in the Metadata panel.
Of course, everything works fine if the file name is modified ( or just by selecting the "copy" option in Photoshop's "save as" dialog box ). Lightroom synchronise dialog shows the new photo to import.
So, why is Lightroom not making a difference between files with the same name but different format extensions ?
Thanks for any hint :-)
Gilles.

Gilles-
I think your problem is likely that you have the option to stack the copy with the original turned on. First, right-click on one of these photos and go to the stacking menu. If Unstack is not grayed out then you have a stack -- select Unstack to reveal all copies.
To change the automatic stacking of edited copies from Photoshop, when you next choose to edit a file, in the bottom left corner of the dialog is the check box for unstacking. Clear it, and that choice should "stick" until you change it again.
Hope this helps!

I was a BBuser and I could store files with information on my BB. Can I do the same on my Iphone. i have tried with no success.

i want to know if I am able to store files with word documents or any other format on my Iphone.

The iPhone is not a file system. It does not have anything like Internet Explorer.
If you purchase Pages for iPhone, you can keep, access and edit documents from iCloud on your iPhone.

Removing some chapters and cross-reference formats in the conversion

Hi everyone!
I am using Frame and RH to single source creating PDFs and online help. I create the PDFs from FrameMaker, and Webhelp from RH. I use the RH linking functionality.
Is there any way to exclude some FM chapters from being converted, without using the Exclude option in FM, and instead using an option available in RH?
Also, is there a way to exclude certain cross-reference formats from being converted at all? I don't want to convert them to Paratext, I just want them to not appear in online help output at all (things like "procedure 1-1").
Thanks.
Sue

I think the only ways to exclude stuff would be to use the Exclude option in FM (as you mention - I've never tried it with RH) or to create a different book that only has the chapters you want to bring over to RH. I do something like that when I do my printed PDFs - I create a "Print-Only" book in which I go through and set the page numbering and conditional text expressions.
To exclude the cross-ref format, I've seen a hint that says to just put a space overtop of the style in the Conversion Settings. It still comes over, but just as a blank space.
