Save a copy of an FM10 book with all documents, images, etc.

I was asked to update a FrameMaker 10 document but had no access to the original author or any information about the existing book. I have done so, but now many images and other elements are no longer needed and it is not clear how I can separate them out. Many other media applications offer the option to save a copy of an entire work and all of the elements it uses to a separate location, thus copying only those items that are actually used and leaving behind those that are obsoleted.
Is there a way to do this in FM10? I can't find one.
thanks!

thanks, Mike, this looks like just what I need. I have yet to dabble in ExtendScript myself, but this may give me a good jumping-off point.
Klaus, your scripts look excellent, but I could never justify that kind of cost to my client, and I honestly don't do enough FrameMaker work (right now) to justify it for myself. Thanks for the pointer, though.
Much obliged, all!
Larry the O

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

    Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
    - Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
    - Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
    - Is there a way to work around the problem?
    I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
    Thanks,
    Michael

    This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
    Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

  • How to save as AI file in same location with all text curves?

    Hi Guys,
    I am also looking for a script. Here are the details....
    I do have lot of AI files (from different paths), which are completly work  done. So I just need to make them (all files) a copy with all text  curves in the same path should create folder name called 'LC'.
    From  the given path all the files should save as to 'LC' folder. ('LC'  folder needs to create at the same location and original file should  stay as it was, so no changes in original/source file)
    While  making curves we must remember that layers contains lock. So have to  unlock all the layer and make curves and lock them back.
    While save as the all files in the file names should add '_LC' at last. For example: file name is 'xyzxyz.ai'. It should come 'xyzxyz_LC.ai'
    FYI: Using Adobe CS4...
    if you help me that would be really grateful...
    Thanks in advance..

  • Anyway to create an iPhoto book with text & no image on cover?

    Would like to create a book with text only on the cover and no image. The only options with text require an image as well and as a result the pdf preview shows the square designated for an image (when no image provided). Any help/suggestions appreciated.

    Hi Richard,
    In this community, "It cannot be done" means "It cannot be done with Pages '09."
    The document in question was, obviously, produced using an application oter than Pages.

  • Filter plug-in: How to mix my RGB image with source document image properly?

    Hi All,
    My problem seems to be very common, but I can't find any answers in documentation.
    I made Filter plug-in. It composes RGB image and mixes it with user source image in the document.
    Now I load FilterRecord->
    inData to byte array and recode each pixel with HostCSConvertColor function.
    My code looks like that:
      byte 
    *input = (byte*)filter_record->inData;
      int  
    width = filter_record->inRect.right - filter_record->inRect.left; 
      int height = filter_record->inRect.bottom - filter_record->inRect.top;
      byte  
    *transfer_buffer; 
      int size = width * height * 4; 
      transfer_buffer = new byte[size]; 
      byte *output = transfer_buffer;
      int  
    planes = CSPlanesFromMode(fpb->imageMode, 3); 
      int16 color[4]; 
      for(j = 0; j < height; j++)  {
        for(i = 0; i < width; i++)    {
          for(k = 0; k < planes; k++)      {
            color[k] = input[i * align + k];      }
          HostCSConvertColor(filter_record->colorServices, space, plugIncolorServicesRGBSpace, color);      *
    output = (byte)color[0]; output++;      *
    output = (byte)color[1]; output++;      *
    output = (byte)color[2]; output++;      *
    output = 255; output++;    }
    // for width
        input += line;
      } // for height
    After that I mix my RGB image with output buffer and make back transition via
    HostCSConvertColor to the document Color Space.It works very slow and looks ugly.
    But I can't find any other way to mix my RGB image with photoshop image which can be not RGB Color Mode.
    Your help will be very appreciated.
    Sofia

    Is it important to you to be able to process input color spaces other than RGB?
    You can limit your filter to accept only RGB data if you set things up properly in the PiPL resource (e.g., yourfiltername.r file).
    Here's an example for a filter that accepts only RGB or grayscale images:
    SupportedModes
    noBitmap,
    doesSupportGrayScale,
    noIndexedColor,
    doesSupportRGBColor,
    noCMYKColor,
    noHSLColor,
    noHSBColor,
    noMultichannel,
    noDuotone,
    noLABColor
    EnableInfo { "in (PSHOP_ImageMode, RGBMode, GrayScaleMode, RGB48Mode, Gray16Mode, RGB96Mode, Gray32Mode)" },
    With the above, the filter will be disabled (grayed-out in the menu) for modes other than those listed.

  • Save a copy of a saved book

    I have created uploaded and received a 240 page book from blurb.  Great success.  I want to now print the same book in a different size.  I don't want to start from scratch and I don't want to mess up the saved original that I have in LR.  IS there a way to create a version of the original so I can change the size and adjust the page layouts accordingly.  The increased size will have a slightly different aspect ratio

    Your saved book appears in the Collections panel (has a book icon).
    Right click on it and select Duplicate Book.
    It will appear as bookname Copy in the Collections panel. 

  • Save place when listening to audio book with MuVo m

    ..is there any way to do it, or, as it appears to be, I have to start from the first folder of all the loaded files, each time I turn player on?
    Just bought this and I'll have to return it if I can't save my place.
    Any solution?
    thanks
    roben

    The player should probably save the location within the file where you stopped it. That has been the case for the Muvo 28 and n200 that I have used. I guess the best thing is to stop the player first before shutting it down, and make sure to change the battery when the battery warning light appears, and not run the player until it stops from being out of power if you don't want to take?the chance of losing your place. Also be sure to turn off the player before changing the battery.

  • I am using iwork 09 on my Macbook and have a problem with all documents created in Pages, numbers and keynote.  When I open and one of them every document that has ever been created, even attachements to emails that have long been deleted open up.  Help!

    If anyone can help with this I would be eternally grateful.  I would like to be able to delete a document and not have it keep coming and asking me if I would like to save it.  Even when I take the do not save option it still comes back.  Is it me or the software?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    Peggy
    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • How to swap memory card with all apps, data etc.

    Hi,
    Currently I have a 2GB memory card on my E63 (latest firmware), which has 3 'paid-for' applications and several free downloaded applications, loads of mp3s etc. I have purchased a 4GB memory card already, and would like to "do something" that would help me retain the entire contents of the current 2GB memory card, onto the 4GB memory card, s.t. apart from extra file space (which I plan to use for photos, videos, music), all other applications and current content remain available on the new card, w/o any other impact. I believe that backing up and restoring via 'Nokia PC Suite' won't save my apps, and only some of the data. E.g. it won't save the eBooks I have.
    Thanks in anticipation for the help.
    cheers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Easy.
    Connect the E63 in "mass storage" mode.
    Go into "My Computer", open the removable drive that will have appeared when you connected the phone. Enable the display of hidden and system objects (this bit is crucial, but I don't know how to do this not being a Windows user myself).
    Once you have the display of all objects enabled, create a new folder on your desktop and then copy all of the files/folders in the phone over to it.
    Next, disconnect the phone and eject the memory card. Insert the new one and format it in the phone (that'll be in your phone's manual).
    Reconnect the phone in mass storage mode. Grab all the objects in the folder that you created on your desktop, including hidden and system objects, and drag'n'drop them over to the phone.
    Disconnect the phone once everything has been copied over -- don't forget to use the "safely disconnect USB device" thing in the computer's notification zone.
    Job done.

  • All of a sudden an additional "Search Web" box has appeared on my firefox below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs bar. I am not able to remove it through customizing the toolbars like you do with all other icons, etc. Could somebody help me?

    This new "Search Web" box/bar has a magnifying glass on the left side and on the right, just outside of the box, there is "-or-". I am unable to remove it or even just move it around the toolbars, and it is unresponsive to any left or right clicks. When it first appeared, it showed up with shortcut icons for Facebook and Twitter. It would be really appreciated if someone could help me with permanently removing the above. I had already tried deleting Firefox from my Mac OS but when I re-install a new one, all plug-ins, bookmarks, etc. are retained. Alternatively could someone advise me how to do a clean uninstall of Firefox?
