Sections and conditional text

Hello.
I work with technical documents that are translated into 5 languages. This documents have 16 main sections. I would like to put, in the footpage of any page, the name of the section. I know that I can enclose this 16 sections with the Numbering and sections options, but just in one language. I would like to put in the section marker name some conditional text (1 label per language): Introduccíón (spanish) Introduction (english) and so on. Is it possible?
Another easy way to do it? I wouldn't like that the translators have to translate every section marker in every document. I want to make it automatic.
Another option is create 16 master pages (one per section) and put on it conditional text, but I don't want 16 master pages.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry but I can't explain it as clear as I would because english is not my mother tongue.
Yes, this sections have a title. For example, the point 1 is "Introducción" and I want that, in the footpage of the Introducción pages, put "Introducción" atutomatically. With the point 2, 3, 4, and so on, the same. Then, when I send it to our translators, they generate a new document in the target language based on the original. It would be nice if they translate those titles (Introduction, etc) automatically the footpage is updated.
This book documents are divided in 3 .indd files: 1 per front cover and index. 1 per the body of the document. 1 per the back cover. I want this footpage just in the second .indd file.
I use conditional text for some facts. For example, if you choose the label USA, you will see in the footpage "Instalation manual". If you choose Spain, you will see 'Manual de instalación'. In my first post I was talking about conditional text because I'm used to use it, but I can see other options.
Thanks.

  • CS3 plugins needed: worldready and conditional text plugins to open files

    I have CS3 Creative Suite and I created a digital portfolio that will not open on my new computer because it says a worldready plugin and conditional text plugins are needed. I called the adobe hotline but they said since it's CS3 they do not have support for my issue and that I would need to update to CS5. If someone could please direct me in the right direction it would be extremely appreciated.

    You are trying to open a file saved in a more recent version of InDesign. If it was only those two plugins listed it's a CS4 file. The file will need to be opened in the correct version and exported back to .inx through CS4 (CS5 files need to be exported to .idml before they can be opened in CS4). Unsupported features will be lost and text may reflow du to differnces inthe text engins from version to version.

    Hi Subramaniyan,
                             U an create an include text node in your smartform.And terms and conditions is the header level text,so i suppose you have to give the inputs as follows :
    Text Name         &**-EBELN&
    Text Object       EKKO
    Text ID              xxxx
    Language          &**-SPRAS&
    is the data at your end .To simplify more follow the following.
    1> go to your purchase order from me23n
    2> open any purchase order and click on the terms and conditions text.
    3> go to GOTO option of the text.and click on the HEADER.
    4> U will find the attributes of the text which you will have to pass to the Include text in your smartforms.
    The long texts arestored in STXH table.

  • How to Create A Conditionally-Texted Paragraph Element

    I'm creating a multi-purposed document where I need to add a section of conditional text on each page, but not always in the same place on the page (so I don't think a Master Page solution would work). Rather than have to select the text and manually apply the condition each time, I would like to create a paragraph tag that is already defined with that condition so my users can just select that tag and enter the text. The paragraph designer doesn't provide the ability to specify a condition text setting for newly created paragraphs.  I tried creating  a new reference page and adding a conditionally-texted text box within a graphics frame, and then specifying that for the Below Pgf setting for a new paragraph element, but it just imports the graphic frame from the reference page and the text within cannot be editing.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks

    I would create a unique paragraph tag and then apply a conditional
    text setting to all tags of that type with a FrameScript.
    An alternative may be to set up a paragraph tag with the conditional
    text settings already applied and then copy-and-insert it with a third
    party tool such as ClipMate or Autotext, but I don't know that the
    conditional text setting is "sticky" when processed through a
    third-party solution. You'd have to test it a bit.

  • Need to Print "Terms and conditions" on every back side of the page

    Hi All,
    i have requirement like need to print "Terms and Conditions" text on every back side of page using adobe form.
    i have tried options like created created 4 pages in master page and defined flow content page1->page3, page2->page4(terms and conditions). but when we execute less items of the billing number got the 3 pages i.e page1 having item data, remaining 2 pages displays the  "terms and conditions" text.
    if any worked on the same kind of requirement please let me know and it would be great helpful to me.
    Thanks,
    Ramana

    Hi,
    One of the option is that you can create 3 pages in the Smartforms, e.g. A, B and C.
    A has print mode "D" (duplex) and next page "B"
    B has print mode " " (unchanged) and next page "A"
    C has print mode " " (unchanged) and next page " " (blank)
    B and C do not have a MAIN window - they just contain the Terms & Conditions  in a secondary window.
    At the end of the MAIN window on page A, insert the command NEW PAGE <C>.
    This will give you a print out that will be in a sequence
    A,B,A,B,...A,B,A,C.

  • Multiple Conditional Text Tags on One section

    I'm composing a document with 3 conditional text tags. There
    are instances where I need to conditionalize something as Tag 1 and
    Tag 2 but doesn't apply for Tag 3. Robohelp seems to allow me to
    apply 2 tags to one section of text, but when I generate my .chm it
    doesn't include anything that has been given two tags. Is there a
    way for robohelp to support this?
    Is there something I should be doing differently?
    I'm using Robohelp 5X.
    Thanks,

    Harvey,
    I think you may have misunderstood me. If you apply tags A
    and B to some text, and you build an exclusionary expression like
    "NOT A," the text will
    not appear in the output. (See rule #1 in my exclusionary
    list: any text tagged with an excluded tag will be excluded, even
    if other tags are applied.) If you build an inclusionary expression
    like "B," the text
    will appear. (See rule #1 in my inclusionary list: any text
    tagged with an included tag will be included, even if other tags
    are applied.)
    So I don't think "include trumps exclude" in this sense. But
    consider the following expressions in a 3-tag environment:
    * A OR B
    * NOT C
    Logically, these might seem equivalent. But they aren't, and
    RoboHelp doesn't treat them as equivalent. Let's assume that you've
    created every possible set of tag combinations for this project: A,
    B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, all 3 tags (A, B, and C), and
    untagged. Here's a look at what would be included in the output for
    each build expression:
    A OR B:
    A
    B
    A and B
    A and C
    B and C
    A, B, and C
    Untagged text
    NOT C:
    A
    B
    A and B
    Untagged text
    When people say that RoboHelp's boolean operators "don't work
    right," I think they mean that expressions that seem logically
    equivalent (such as these two) produce different output. Without an
    understanding of how the rules are applied, a user can easily build
    expressions that seem right but produce the "wrong" output. In
    fact, the output is correct according to the rules.
    Again, I wouldn't say that "include trumps exclude," although
    I think I understand what you're getting at. The difference lies in
    the application of rule #1.
    I tested a simple 3-tag environment yesterday with printed
    documentation and CHM files, and the expressions worked as
    indicated. I didn't try WebHelp, but I've used similar expressions
    before, and I feel comfortable saying that WebHelp will also work
    as I've described it. Also, note that we're dealing with very
    simple expressions here; complicated expressions require more care.
    But most RH users can generate the desired output with a few simple
    expressions. Especially inclusionary expressions.

  • Book and File Conditional Text Tags Don't Match

    In Framemaker 10 (TCS 3, Windows 7 64-bit), when I click on a document in a the book (& View>Show/Hide Conditional Text), an extra conditional text tag shows up that doesn't exist in the document Show/Hide Conditional Text.
    For example:
    In the book, My Book.book, I select Chapter1.fm (but don't open it).
    Then I open the Show/Hide Conditional Text panel (View>Show/Hide Conditional Text)
    I see these two condition tags, Hide Text and HideText. I use Hide Text but not HideText.Apparently, at some point I changed the name of the condition tag.
    Then I open Chapter1.fm.
    When I open the Show/Hide Conditional Text panel, HideText isn't there.
    What I want to do is to delete HideText (the one I don't use), but I can't find ourt how to do it. any ideas out there?
    One more bit of information that might help figure out what's going on:
    I select Chapter1.fm in the book.
    Then I select Show as per condition in the Show/hide Conditional Text panel.
    Select HideText in the Hide field.
    Click the left arrow (<--) to move HideText to the Show field.
    Click Apply.
    I get this error message in the Book Error Log:
    Cannot show the following tags because they do not exist in this document
    So, can anyone tell me how to get rid of HideText from the book files?
    Thanks!
    John N.

    John, some troubleshooting questions:
    1. did all of the file(s) originate from FM10 or were any from previous versions? Did you import previous version content? Slight naming differences between FM versions is an insidious problem that many of us here can relate to ... If any of the files were from previous versions, I would start with testing FM10 original content itself, to see what naming convention FM10 starts with.
    2. if you want to dive into the innards of your problem files, you might use the venerable MIFBrowser, a freebie from
    http://www.wideman-one.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm
    Although it hasn't been updated in a loooooong time, it should still work perfectly with FM10 MIF files.  It's just a viewer, not an editor, but it will help you get a handle on both the conditional tags in-situ, in comparison to the tag as defined in the condition catalog section.
    MIF is a bit daunting if you've never looked at it, but with MIFBrowse the various sections of content are more easily viewable.
    3. With copies of your FM files safely backed up you could then edit the conditions in the.MIF files in a text editor (or by using FM itself, although this takes some special care to ensure that the file remains as text. I personally fine text editors (e.g. NotepadPlus or EmEditor) easier to use because viewing line numbers helps when trying to sync between what you see in the MIFBrowse display vs. actually edit the content.
    4. It's also possible to save the .book file as .mif to then examine/edit the conditional tag catalog with a text editor. You could copy the "missing" conditional definition from one of the chapters into the .book file.

  • How to change the text of Terms and Condition of PO.

    I have given an task to add some text to the current TERMS and CONDITIONS (T&C) of a PO. Idea is to decrease the size of fonts also as after adding the new paragraph, the T&C itself will print on 2 pages. So decrease in font size is needed to fit the T&C on one page.
    Kindly tell me how I can add text to T&C of PO and also decreasing the size of fonts
    Thanks,

    yes SO10 wont ask for the CTS.
    Please follow this steps.
    Run the report RSTXSCRP
    Please fill the selection screen.
    the name of the text should be in this fiels, Text key - name

  • Print multiple pages of text module as Terms and Conditions at end of PO

    Hello,
    I have a text module that contains a two page terms and conditions to print as the last pages of a PO.
    I have three pages
    FIRST-->Calls NEXT
    NEXT--> Calls NEXT with a command to LAST in the MAIN window
    LAST-->Calls Last, has a MAIN Window and a regular window which calls text module
    The text module only prints on the first page in the end of the PO(i.e.last page). It does not flow or create an additional page for the left over text in the text module.
    Please advice.

    Hi,
    We have same situation. What I did was to introduce a new element in MAIN WINDOW ( by the way only FIRST & LAST pages are sufficient, no need to have additional page for printing Terms & Conditions ) in that element just have 2 lines viz.:
    /:   NEW-PAGE                                     * Above command so that terms & conditions will always start from a new page.                       
    /:   INCLUDE ZPO_TERMS_AND_CONDITIONS OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN      
    If terms & conditions are more than a page it will automatically be printed on the next page. ( In our case currently we have got 5 pages of terms & conditions ).
    At the end of the program i.e. When you are finished with printing of a PO just 'WRITE' this element using WRITE_FORM.
    I hope this helps,
    Regards

  • Is there a tutorial/primer for working with conditional text and page numbering in book folders?

    I'm ramping up on FrameMaker 9 and have been experimenting with using folders in book files. I like being able to add Frame files to the folder to organize content. But I also need to use conditional tags. In one version of my book, the entire contents of some files in one folder are hidden using conditional text. I can't figure out how to set the numbering for each file so that the page numbers adjust appropriately in this scenario. Or is it even possible to do this?
    Can anyone recommend an advanced tutorial for using folders in Frame 9?

    Michelle,
    It would be easier to maintain if you create a different book file that omits the entire "conditionalized" set of files.
    See these Adobe TechComm blogs for some more background info on using hierarchical books and numbering behaviour:

  • RH and FM conditional text

    I am evaluating alternatives to our old WWP setup. With that
    setup, we were able to process our conditional FM source
    automatically into various outputs. The WWP project file interacted
    with FM to control the conditional settings for different jobs.
    With RH 7 for HTML, acccoring to the online help, we must set
    the conditions manually in Frame before we run RH. Is this correct?

    Thanks. At this point, I'm trying to figure out what to do
    first.
    The Help says to apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build
    Expressions before adding any FrameMaker files. Since I haven't
    added any FM files, RH can't have any information about the
    conditional tags we've defined in FM. Does this mean I have to
    define some conditional expressions in RoboHelp to match the ones
    we're using in FM, and then use these RH expressions when importing
    the FM files?
    The RH Help says that when I select the "Apply FrameMaker
    Conditional Text Build Expression" option, "only the filtered
    content is imported into RoboHelp, based on the conditional text
    build expression." This suggests that I can use one expression to
    load one "flavour" of my FM document into the RH project. It
    implies that if I want a separate flavour for a separate output, I
    will have to change the expression and add the FM files again. Is
    that correct?
    Does it make a difference how the conditions have been set in
    the FM files when I add the files to RH?
    What is the FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression? Do
    I need to create a build expression named "FrameMaker" for use when
    adding FrameMaker files?
    Sorry for all the questions, but I'm having a hard time
    following the Help.

  • Conditional build tags with character styles and ignored text

    RoboHelp HTML v8.0.2.208
    Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 with 2 GB of RAM
    Output: WebHelp and HTML Help
    I have recently moved my projects from RH HTML X5 to RH HTML 8 and this is when the following problem appeared. I use lots of conditional build tags within the help projects. Some of these tags are for my own use for reference and I combine these with character styles containing a coloured background (highlight) so that they show up in the WebHelp or HTML Help output (e.g. text to identify the software version that the field/feature/text was added, reminders to check details, insertion of bug ID numbers, design document names, etc.). These areas of text are stripped out of the final build for customers by using a conditional build expression.
    What I have noticed is that if a paragraph contains text with a conditional build tag applied AND that tagged text has a character style applied AND an unknown word within the conditional build tag is ignored (with the HTML tag <?rh-ignored text="word_to_be_ignored" ?>), saving the topic, closing it, then re-opening it shows that the conditional build text has stretched to the next conditional build tag, or to the end of the topic if there aren’t any other conditional build tags. This also happens by switching from Design View to HTML View. Note that this doesn’t happen if Ignore All is applied to the unknown word.
    This doesn’t just apply to projects converted from RH X5. I created a new test project in RH8 and the same behaviour was observed. Similar behaviour occurred very occasionally in RH X5 but that seemed to be down to HTML tags being nested incorrectly.
    The largest project contains around 1200 topics and with many hundreds of conditional build text areas this now causes a problem. I’ll probably have to locate every ignored word in an area of conditional text within each project, set it to Ignore All and then manually remove and re-apply the conditional build tags, unless someone can come up with something clever. Can anyone else replicate this and should it be logged as a bug?

    Hi Daggins,
    Thanks - that is good info to have. But as we all agree, that does take away from the point of single-sourcing.
    You aren't misunderstsanding exactly... I am doing all my conditional tagging in FM and it works like a charm in terms of the PDFs that I generate from FM, and even the conditionally tagged text in RH shows/hides correctly. The issue is I am also importing my index and TOC from FM... and even if I have an entire file in FM tagged as conditional (all the text is tagged as conditional, I don't know if you can tag a file as conditional), the file name as a heading it still appears in the RH TOC. There is no text... but in my view it shouldn't appear in the TOC either (it looks like just a broken link when I generate my online help) - this is not ideal.

  • HT1937 tried to purchase an app from my iphone 4G phone and I wasn't able to do so because when it took me to the Terms and Conditions screen where there was 54 pages, there wasn't a section or button to accept the new terms at the end of the 54 pages.

    I have an iphone 4S and I wasn;t able to purchase an app for it because I wasn't able to accept the new Terms an Conditions section. When I reched the last page of the Terms and Conditions, there wasn't an accept button or section, therefore I wasn't able to complete my purchase. Please advise.

    Hi vernel,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Conditional text and text inserts in FM 10

    A perfect scenario, I thought, for conditional text: user guides for versions A and B of the same product, where most of the content is the same for both and some specific to one or the other. Some of the variants – such as "Connecting the power supply" – are at chapter level, others at paragraph level … so I've set prepared two .book files, and two chapter files which contain a single sentence plus the condition settings: show A, hide B or show B, hide A, respectively.
    Extra finesse, just sprung on me: one chapters, which exists in an A and a B version, uses a text insert for some common paragraphs and one of these paragraphs now needs to be hidden util development is completed.
    Long context, then. Short problems:
    selecting all the files in a .book and using File > Import formats (with only Conditional text settings selected) doesn't seem to be working
    the conditional text in the insert refuses to go away, even with the relevant condition defined, and set to Hide, both in the insert and in the chapter that calls it
    Final question: do I need to brush up on conditions, or is FM 10 not as reliable as it might be here?
    Windows 7.0, one single FM installation of 10.0.2.419

    Niels,
    When you imported the text insert, what did you set for its properties behaviour, i.e. to stay as per the source or to use the properties in the currrent document?
    Are you using "Show as per Condition" or "Show as per Expression" to control the appearance of the conditional text?
    In the insert source document, does the relevant paragraph hide when the condition is applied?
    Is the condition name spelled identically (capitalization and spaces) in the inset and document?

  • Very slow PDF generation when conditional text is hidden in FM 9.0

    I am working on 96-page chapter of a larger book. A 7-page section of the chapter needs to be hidden until the next release, so I hid it with conditional text. After doing this, the "Save as PDF" printing process goes from taking 6-7 seconds to taking several minutes. If I unhide the conditional text in the same session, printing is very quick again.
    I have no problem generating very PDF files with the PDF printer in other applications (Word, PowerPoint). The issue is specific to FrameMaker and the use of conditional text. What might be causing this?
    I am using FrameMaker 9.0p255 and Distiller 9.0.
    - Chris

    Hi Jeff,
    These were good suggestions to try. Saving the document first has no effect on PDF generation.
    However, I did find that printing to the Adobe PDF printer remains fast when the conditional text is hidden. That's quite an interesting finding! I did also notice that these two methods of PDF generation aren't identical:
    "Save as PDF" opens an Adobe Distiller window, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer opens a different "Creating Adobe PDF" progress box (looks like it's from the printer driver itself).
    "Save as PDF" generates a 1188k PDF file, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer generates a 1049k PDF file.
    "Save as PDF" defaults to placing the PDF in FrameMaker's working directory, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer defaults to saving to the last place to saved a printed PDF file (awkward when working with multiple directories, as I often do).
    When I do a "Save as PDF", FrameMaker does still spool to the PDF printer. It is this spooling that takes a long time. Once spooling is complete, then the Distiller window opens and the PDF is created very quickly.
    I would still like to get "Save as PDF" working since it knows where to place the PDF file. No solution to the runtime yet, but at least there is progress...
