Save book as xml

Hi all,
here is a strange(?) behaviour of FM8:
If a book
is saved as XML, the behaviour is
In FM7.x:
The book
file is saved in several xml files - one for each component (which is correct).The .fm and backup.fm files remain untouched (which is correct).
In FM8:
The book
file is saved in several xml files - one for each component (which is correct and the same as above).The .fm and backup.fm files are saved in addition and moreover: .fm and backup.fm are identical (same timestamp, same content, same ...).
This is very dangerous especially if some components have been modified during the session (for example delete hidden text). Then the original file is totally lost.
In addition this is valid for the commands "save as" (with xml as fileextension), for "save as xml" and for "saveas xml" command in the DLL. And equivalent for HTML and SGML.
Is this behaviour already known?
Are there any ideas for a workaround?
Are there any possibilites to adapt FM to suppress the saving as .fm?
Thanks for help

Hi Detlev,
I understand your description, but I don't have an answer for you. If no one here knows, consider cross-posting to the related Yahoo group, where you might reach some other structured Frame gurus:

Save as PDF or Save Book As (pdf format) Causes Frame 8 to try to quit after creating PDF

I have Framemaker 8p273 and Acrobat distiller 8.1.3.
When trying to creating PDFs from books using either Save as PDF OR Save Books As (PDF) file, the PDF creates FINE but the program then attempts to quit by throwing up weird dialog boxes.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Open any book
2.Use File-->Save as PDF or File-->Save Books As and then choose type PDF
3.PDF created fine - no errors reported in Distiller window
4. Framemaker then throws up a small dialog box that says "cannot quit." You cannot close this box, only click OKAY.
The only other issue that arises might be a "cannot print some graphics - will print as gray boxes"
5. Clicking okay brings up sequence of 5 total of the same boxes (the book file has 7 files in it including the TOC).
6. After last of 5 "cannot quit" boxes, a new Framemaker one appears, that says "Unsaved Changes in file (book name) Save before closing?" Options are Yes, No and Cancel. Yes saves file and quite Frame. No quits Frame. Cancel leaves file open.
I have reproduced this error multiple times with different books, using both the Save as PDF and Save Book As (PDF) commands.
File--Print Book using Acrobat printer works fine (making sure to enable the acrobat setting so bookmarks are properly generated).
Just frustrated that the first two options cause such an annoying error. Reported as a bug.

Jaclyn,
I've seen this happen when an API client attempts to close a document that doesn't exist, which defaults to closing the FrameMaker session, but the session cannot close because it's in the middle of some operation. It's normally the result of sloppy code. Do you have any third-party API plugin software running? For that matter, does anyone know if the "Save as PDF" uses an API client? If so, might be a bug in that software, although it seems that there must be something unique going on here to invoke this behavior in your case.

'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.

Hi pissedadobeuser,
Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

Generated files do not rename automatically when doing save book as

I'm using FM8. Inside of your book, generated files are suppose to rename to your book name automatically when you do a "save book as", the filenames are not changing, does anyone know why this is and what the solution is?

Is it the actual physical filename of the existing generated files or the filenames as shown in the book file that you are referring to as not changing?
FM doesn't rename the actual existing files, instead it expects the book to be regenerated at which point it will create the new generated files.

How to save and retrive XML DOM to/from SQLServer

Hi, there,
I am new to JAVA, and now I'm trying to save a large XML DOM to SQLServer, and retrive it as a XML DOM later. Would someone please let me know how can I do it?
Thanks!
----YM

You would be better looking at the XML DOM documentation for your database rather than asking here. If your DB doesn't provide XML facilities, then there are products and techniques that can be applied to map XML to SQL, and you can always serialize the java objects into a blob, but XML to SQL mapping isn't standardized, so the first call is the server's documentation.

KM Document (Formsbuilder) -- Save as ..XML

Hi,
we have a forms created with "Forms Builder". When we create and save documents via KM, they are saved as a hybrid between XML and HTML scripts.
How can we save these documents as plain XML, without HTML pieces?

Hi Holger,
XML Forms saves as plain xml. I suppose what you see is the generated HTML that the WYSIWYG Editor produces when saving formatted text.
So then your solution is: dont use the WYSIWYG editor.

My preview panel in lightroom book module has no "create save book button". Where is it?

My preview panel in lightroom book module has no "create save book button". Where is it? Is there a workaround to save my book?

The \ key will hide and show the header bar in the book module and the Create Saved Book button is at the right of that header bar.
The outlined area is what shows and hides when the \ key is pressed. Maybe you have a keyboard that has a different key for \? On my keyboard the \ key is just above the Enter key.
You can also use the View / Show Header Bar in the LR menus across the top:
If this doesn't work, then can you provide a screenshot of your LR book module?

Have u tried something like:
For row major xml document:

for(int i = 0; i < jt.getRowCount(); i++)
 xml+= "<row number = '" + i + "'>\n";
 for(int j = 0; j < jt.getColCount(); j++)
 xml+= " <col number = '" + j + "'>" + jt.getValueAt(i,j) + "</col>";
 xml += "</row>
//Then save xml to file.For column major XML document just swap the two loops round.
Hope this helps

Distiller error when trying to save book as pdf

I haven't used FrameMaker since about version 5 or 6, but recently I have picked up a few client jobs requiring RoboHelp and FrameMaker. I tearfully parted with the funds for TS 4, crossing my fingers that the investment would pay itself off. I have a client now with FrameMaker 10 files that I am working on in FM 11. When I try to save the book as a pdf from the File menu, I get this error:
How do I fix this? Please don't tell me I need to buy Acrobat to make this work...you don't want to make an old woman cry.

> I haven't used FrameMaker since about version 5 or 6 ...
Was it still installed?
Was a contemporary version of Distiller still installed?
That old Distiller is incompatible with FM10 & 11.
You might need to uninstall it and re-install TCS4.
As a quick fix, you might try printing to .ps and Distilling separately.
I don't have FM10 or 11, so the above represents more than I know.

Frame Crashes on Save Book After Performing Document Numbering Update

Frame 10 crashes every time when saving book after performing a Format\Document\Numbering update. All of sudden when performing a document "Update" Frame starting generating errors for specific documents in the book. Numbering in docuement does not match numbering for book. So I select those documents generating the error and then do a Format\Document\Numbering and just hit the set button. Then try to save the book and it crashes every time. It crashes for Format\Document\Numbering one document or all of them.

In Frame 7.1/Unix, it is commonly the case that an unrelated crash corrupts the Book's settings for Numbering, although it appears that nothing has changed. It is, of course, a nuisance to reset all the dialogs.
So what I do instead, and which you might try, is to set all of the book number dialogs (all six panes, for each component file) to "Read from File". That seems to be stable and survives crashes. It may or may not fix your problem.

Save Book from PDF to Jpegs

I'm sending books to a non-apple printer., and rather than PDF, they need jpegs of the spreads.
I did this before by choosing Print > PDF > Save PDF to folder as Jpegs.
One could doctor the automator scripts in PDF services to produce a 300 dpi Jpeg
This does't seem to work under Snow Leopard
Part of the automator sequence doesn't work.
I get messages "The behaviour of this workflow may have changed....
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action Rename Finder Items
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action Copy Finder Items
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action Move Finder Items
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action Move Finder Items to Trash"
Then "The item "Retrieve Disk Item References" countered an error..."
How can I get it to work without opening each individual page in Photoshop?

How about posting in the iPhoto forum?

How to open illustrator file (.ai) using Indesign and save it as XML

I know how to open a Illustrator file (.ai) in Indesign.
It would be like :
1 ) Save your Illustrator file as AI. This Native format is most compatible with InDesign.
2 ) Go to -> InDesign, click on your document using your Frame Rectangle tool (the one with the X through it).
3 ) Fill in the desired size (can be adjusted later).
5 ) Go to File menu > Place.
6 ) Find and select the Illustrator file in the window that opens.
7 ) Click the Open button.
Adjust size, & position of your image using the Direct Selection tool (white arrow), and the cropping with the Seclection tool (black arrow.
Now I want to save this file as XML.
After that, I say
1 ) File -> Export
But this file saves as XML only shows he the root element nothing else.
Every time , this shows like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root></Root>
Nothing is there as contents.
Can anyone let me know, is it possible to store .AI file as XML.
My requirement is simple, i want to store the .ai file as XML.
Some how I am using Indesign to do so . Can any body help.
Thanks,

Copy and paste is again seems same as 'Place the file' , it wouldn't help again.
Copy( from Illustrator) and paste( it in Indesign) and later saving\exporting as XML again create the same the XML file with no data . Just a XML structure,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<Root />
RRegarding using the FXG and SVG file .. saving these formats to XML does not shows the Co-ordinates in XML formats.
I do I would like to have the coordinates (x,y) so that later on , if required I can change the coordinates and display the Image or Text in the file. As this is a requirement for business card.

Save Table in XML Automatically

Hello,
I need your help...
I want to get in a oracle db one table in xml format. I saw that we have a ORACLE XML DB package, where I can run "select" to obtain tables in xml. What I wan to do now, it is to save the result in a windows folder automatically, for example each hour. Do you know how can I do that? any idea?
Best Regards.

If you can, could you give an example of stored procedure to save file in the server?Yes, here's an example :
1) Create a directory object
create or replace directory test_dir as 'c:\oracle\test';2) The procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE getEmployees
IS
xmldoc CLOB;
xmlprolog VARCHAR2(80);
BEGIN
-- builds the XML prolog using the database charset for the encoding
SELECT '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="' || utl_i18n.map_charset(value) || '"?>'
INTO xmlprolog
FROM nls_database_parameters
WHERE parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'
-- generates the XML document
SELECT XMLSerialize(DOCUMENT
 XMLElement("Employees",
 XMLAgg(
 XMLElement("Employee",
 XMLAttributes(empno as "id")
 , XMLForest(
 ename as "name"
 , job as "job"
 , hiredate as "hireDate"
 order by empno
INTO xmldoc
FROM scott.emp
WHERE deptno = 10
-- writes the document to a file in the directory TEST_DIR
DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file(xmlprolog || xmldoc, 'TEST_DIR', 'employees.xml');
END;
/When called, it'll create a file "employees.xml" containing :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Employees>
<Employee id="7782">
<name>CLARK</name>
<job>MANAGER</job>
<hireDate>1981-06-09</hireDate>
</Employee>
<Employee id="7839">
<name>KING</name>
<job>PRESIDENT</job>
<hireDate>1981-11-17</hireDate>
</Employee>
<Employee id="7934">
<name>MILLER</name>
<job>CLERK</job>
<hireDate>1982-01-23</hireDate>
</Employee>
</Employees>(formatted)
