RoboHelp options within FrameMaker

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/techcomsuite/tcs/using/WS1b49059a33f77726-31aee1b1342288940d-7 fc0.html

Drop-down/expanding text:
In my testing, this works ONLY if there is exactly one return (one press of the Enter key) between the "text caption" and the drop-down or expanding text in the Framemaker file. They cannot be on the same line, and there cannot be anything except a return between them. It will be useful to future users if the help page can make this clear.

Robohelp vs. FrameMaker

Hello,
I have a few large scale RoboHelp 6 projects. I am debating whether to upgrade to RoboHelp 9 or to convert my projects to FrameMaker (to which I have an existing license). My projects' main purpose is an online tutorial (HTML), but I will also need chms and pdfs. My questions are:
1) Is there a reason to prefer RoboHelp 9 over FrameMaker in my case?
2) How difficult will migration be from RoboHelp 6 to FrameMaker? Or to RoboHelp 9?
Thanks in advance

Most people are doing the TCS integration of FM to RH because FM can create better looking PDFs than RH (especially if your docs are long). However, many people do all their authoring in RH and then use the Printed Documentation SSL to get their PDFs via Word. Upgrading a project from RH6 to RH9 will probably go smoothly, but make sure you have a backup before you begin. You may experience difficulties with numbered/ordered lists and the change to XHTML in RH8+. There is no clear path from RH to FM. You will have to cut & paste or export to Word & re-import into FM to get content over.

Unable to install robohelp plugin for framemaker

Hi,
I have FM8 and RoboHelp HTML 9. When I open a new project and try to import a FrameMaker document or book I get the "unable to install robohelp plugin for framemaker" error.
I tried with FrmaMaker open and closed - same thing.
With RH7 it used to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rakefet

Unsure about the plugin message, but you can import FM into RH9. The problem may be that you have a current RH9, but not a current FM10. Try downloading a trial of FM10, create a v10 copy of your book, and see if that imports.
Mark's comment applies to linking, but not to importing.

New to Blackberry-can not find the Add Contact option within address book

I am sure the answer to this is going to be so obvious, but asking just the same. I go into the address book, push the ball in and there are my list of contacts. I want to add new contacts, but have no place I can see to add? Top of the screen as #BAL, the MIN, PMT then my contacts beginning with A that Verizon switched into my new phone from the old. If I am on one of these names and click on the name, I am given options within that particular contact. I just would like to Add a new contact. Thanks much

From the address book push the menu key. This is the one to the left of the trackball. Select New Address from the list of available options.

No EPMA options within Workspace ?

Hello,
I have successfully installed and configured EPMA 11.1.1.1 and all services are up and running. No errors to report.
After logging into Workspace I do not see any EPMA options when selecting Navigate --> Administer --> ???
Maybe I am missing something here. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Tony

Ok. I re-configured web app server now I see the EPMA options within Workspace. However when I select any of the EMPA options (i.e. Dimension Library) I get the following error message:
No connection could be made becuase the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:5251
Error Code com.hyperion.awb.web.common.DimensionServiceException

Problems with Skin display and publish options on FrameMaker 12

Hi,
Customising the FrameMaker output for web help is proving problematic.
1. Here's the first issue - The Online FrameMaker help says the following:
"You can also import WebHelp or compressed WebHelp skins defined in .skn or .zkn files, respectively. To import a skin, click Import and then select the .skn or .zkn file from the file system." (see Adobe FrameMaker 12 * Customizing output specific settings)
However, when importing a skin (publish settings > custom > outputs >navigation > skin selection > import), the Import option only enables a file of type *.skn and not the compressed *.zkn.
2. Second issue - The customised skin is not picked up correctly in the Webhelp output.
To be specific, the required graphic elements have not been copied over from the customised skin. The only way round this is to manually copy over the graphic skin files to the output folder and then refresh the help output. The graphics appear, but unfortunately the skin still does not display 100% correctly.
3. Third issue. To create the customised skin, I had to create a new RoboHelp project and then create a new skin from one of the available skin galleries. Preview and generating the RoboHelp project displays the Skin correctly. Unfortunately, when using in FrameMaker, the skin does not display correctly.
4th issue - inaccurate information in the online help regarding the ISF import options.
The FM online help says the following:
Important: When you import an ISF file, the RoboHelp settings included in the file overwrite the corresponding FrameMaker STS file settings.
To import an ISF file:
In the Publish dialog, click the Settings button and choose Import ISF File.
In the Select ISF File dialog, choose the settings file.
Where's this option? There's no ISF import option on my version of FrameMaker???!!!
Thanks

Warren,
In FM, Help > Updates... and configure your Update Application Manager on how often to check and how to handle updates. Or manually go the update page kisted on the main FM Forum Overview pagefor a manually download and install. You have to install the two patches in order to get up to the 12.0.2 version.

Is there a way to include Scaling Options within an AME preset?

I'm using AME to export stills from the first frame of a large library of videos. I've got a preset setup to export a thumbnail image so I can import the footage, apply the preset, and press render. Since the thumbnail image is 80x80 pixels, AME is scaling the video down to fit the image horizontally and creating letter boxing on the top and bottom. I've found that I can apply the preset, and then click the preset name in the queue to access additional options. Within these options is "Scaling Options" and if I change the setting from "Scale to Fit" to "Scale to Fill" I end up with my desired results.
I realize that by doing this, the video fills the full 80x80 image, and some portions are cropped off on the left and right side. But I'm okay with the cropping, I really just need the video to fill the full 80x80 image. Here's an animated GIF demonstrating the process (sorry if it takes a bit to load, it's 2.5MB).
What I'm looking for is a way to integrate the "Scale to Fill" option directly into the preset. So that I can create a watch folder using the preset and anytime I drop a video file into the watch folder, AME will automatically generate an 80x80px thumbnail that has the video fill the full image frame. Having to manually adjust this setting each and every time is still faster than manually creating the preview image, but prevents me from having it be automated. Anyone have any ideas?

If you set up the preset (including the scaling) in the Export Settings dialog then save the preset you should be good to go. The scaling parameter gets saved in the preset. Is that not the behavior you are seeing?

Multiple Filtering options within ALV Output.

Hi All,
Being a Functional Guy,I would like to clarify few questions in ALV functionality. In one of our requirement we need to create a ALV report.
Step1 : Enter values in selection criteria.
Step2: Execute ALV report.
Step3: Within Output I should be able to filters for a particular column. For example: We have a column as Country.In the Column can I select or enter India,US,UK and output should only contain only US,UK,India.
Step4: Within output We have columns Country and State , can we enter values like Texas in State, US in country in the filter will the output will have only values with Texas & US.
Can you guys advice if Step 3 & step 4 is possible in ALV.
Thanks,
Kitcha

Hi,
Yes, you can hae the filtering options for all the columns of the ALV..if you can see there is a stadnard filter functionality available
for ALV that comes by default..
When you show the output in alv these default filter is already avaibale..first try to test it out..
Just go through the ALV documetns..filter is already there..for your output you will get the result..
Regards,
Lekha.

FLASHBACK_SCN option within datapump

I am trying to use the datapump option FLASHBACK_SCN by setting a variable within a script as the value from "SELECT dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number FROM dual;" in the following way.
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' <<EOF
set head off
spool flashback_scn.output
SELECT dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number FROM dual;
spool off
exit;
EOF
sed '/^$/d' flashback_scn.output |\
sed -e "s/[ <tab>]*//g" > flashback_scn.list
export FLASHBACK_SCN=`cat flashback_scn.list`
The variable FLASHBACK_SCN is then passed to the option and the datapump export performed. This has worked fine on a test database but the SCN is a lot smaller number than in production. I am now trying to run this in production but the value that comes back from "SELECT dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number FROM dual;" is as follows.
GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER
9.2196E+12
And datapump does not see this as a valid SCN nor does a select statement using the option of "AS OF SCN", I just get the error "specified number is not a valid change number.
Can anyone suggest a way to get the value as a proper value and not a "to the power of what ever" value.
Kind regards.
Graeme.

Hi Graeme,
This is only a display think of sqlplus.
Try this:
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' <<EOF
set head off
col get_system_change_number format 9999999999999999999999
spool flashback_scn.output
SELECT dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number FROM dual;
spool off
exit;
EOFthe format change the display to optional digits (in this case 22 digits, you can set it to whatever you like).
By the way, I take the date and use FLASHBACK_TIME instead of FLASHBACK_SCN, but it really doesn't matter.

Removing Forward menu option within MailFilterDialog in Convergence 1u3

I followed the directions at the bottom of the following page:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Removing+Change+Password+and+Vacation+Message+Options
and successfully removed the Forward item in the Options menu, however we are wanting to disable all forwarding from within Convergence, which would also include the "Forward Message To" menu item in the MailFilterDialog widget. I know I need to create the file <app_server_base>/domains/domain1/docroot/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/js/widget/MailFilterDialog.js and put the following in <app_server_base>/domains/domain1/docroot/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/js/customize.js:
// Remove the Forward Message to menu item
dojo.require("c11n.allDomain.js.widget.MailFilterDialog");but I am unsure of the code that goes into the MailFilterDialog.js file.
Thanks,
Jim

Add the following to <app_server_base>/domains/domain1/docroot/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/js/customize.js
// Hide forward button in folder view
dojo.require("c11n.allDomain.js.widget.MailOpenFolder");

<app_server_base>/domains/domain1/docroot/iwc_static/c11n/allDomain/js/widget/MailOpenMessage.js
dojo.provide("c11n.allDomain.js.widget.MailOpenMessage");

                        console.debug("c11n: Hide Forward Button in Message View");
                last: ""

Selected option within sync music tab not working

Whilst syncing my iPhone4 and within the sync music tab, I use 'selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'. The problem is that the info where you select within the categories is not up to date with my actually library and checking or unchecking does nothing to what is synced. I have ‘sync only checked songs’ selected in summary and have completed a full reinstall of iTunes.

Hello AriW1,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, as of iTunes 9 the option has been removed. I would submit feedback to Apple on this. I have already.
You can probably do it under iTunes or the iPod classic

Generating HTML in RoboHelp 10 from FrameMaker 11

Hi,
In FrameMaker 11, i have a .fm source file that uses a custom template. In RoboHelp 10 (trial), how do I create a HTML help file from the source .fm file? Please note that I have a separate .fm template that contains the mappings for the generated HTML (which is different from the source file).
Thanks for your help!
Kathy

You can use the FM template file to control the formatting from FM, but that's a bit like driving the car from the backseat
Jeff is right, though, that sometimes the template is required and the blog post he referenced will help you to do that.
Instead, consider watching me do a one-hour run-through of the process at http://adobe.ly/16hU5db.
Beyond that, please contact me offline to help with specifics.

Problem with the Photomail option within " How would you like to share ?"

I have a PC with Windows 7 and Elements 10 installed. For the past couple of days, when I attempt to share photos using the Photomail option under "How would you like to share ?" column , after selecting the recipient, I get an error message dialogue box that says : "Elements 10 Organizer has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then the Organizer stays closed down until I reopen it. However, I am able to share photos using the "Email Attachment" option.
What could be wrong with the "Photomail" option ?
Thanks

Hi,
I have seen this sort of failure caused by a permissions problem.
Try this:
Close elements
Create a shortcut on your desktop which goes direct to the organizer
Right click on that shortcut and select "Run as Administrator" (even if you are an administrator)
Now try your Photomail again
If it does work, you only need to do this once, it seems to correct itself after that.
Good luck
Brian

Adding social media share options within a Indesign 5.5 doc

Hi, I'm wanting to share articles within a document via social media sites like the Share this button on Wordpress. Is it possible, has anyone done it before? cheers

You can link to individual pages in the pdf, just not individual articles/sections. This would help you add a link to a specific page on a social media site and share that link, rather than doing it through the pdf itself.

HT1589 Why is there no option within iTunes to change libraries?

It would be such an amazing simple feature to have!
It's frustrating to have to close iTunes and re-open it remembering to hold the Option button - so much to do something that could so easily be menu-driven!

The Mozilla developers usually leave such advanced settings to extensions developers.
