Upgrading to Frame 9 & Filters

I’ve been monitoring various threads during FM 9.0’s maturation process and it *appears* most early problems have been patched. Before upgrading, however, would appreciate advice or comments from you good folk.
In addition to (1) general curiosity re: compelling reasons to upgrade, I am specifically interested in (2) improvements to import/export filters.  In 7.2, I wasn’t particularly impressed either with saving a .FM file as a Word .doc or with opening a Word .doc in FM. Does 9.0 have improved filters?
Note: I sent this e-mail to the frameusers list but got an "undeliverable" error. Sorry if either effort ends up in cross-posting...
TIA,
Gay

Thanks very much, Arnis, I appreciate your information; it will be useful in the decision about upgrading.
Cheers,
Gay

  • Frame to PDF font conversion broken in upgrade to Frame 10

    I am using Adobe Garamond Pro font as body text.  In Frame 9, this worked fine, I was able to generate PDFs with correct text.  Now I have upgraded to Frame 10.  I generate the same file as PDF, and the body text looks good except for passages that have been marked as bold text. 
    Again, fine when the PDF was generated by Frame 9, but now the bold text is not correctly rendered.  Instead, I get an ugly monospaced, and very jammed-together, word.  Non bold text looks okay. Italic text looks okay.  But the bold text does not.
    Any suggestions as to how can I fix this? I looked in the Frame10 fminit\fonts directory, and AGaramondPro-Bold.otf is there. In fact, the directory looks pretty much the same as the Frame9 version.

    Okay, thanks. I think I have the problem solved, though I'm still not quite certain how it occurred.
    To trouble shoot the Frame 10 problem, I opened up a file in Frame 9 (didn't uninstall it when I upgraded to 10, so I have both installed) and saved as PDF, with the same results, but with an error message that pointed me to the Adobe PDF printer, even though I don't explicitly point to it anywhere. The message said to de-select the option that says "use system fonts only" in the printer properties dialog.
    When I did so, the problem went away.
    Thing is, I never intentionally changed any of the Adobe PDF printer properties. It was working fine in both 9.0 and 10.0 Frame then all of a sudden the problem appeared out of the blue.
    The only thing I can think of that changed between the time it worked and the time it failed is an upgrade from Acrobat to Acrobat X.

  • 7.0.1 "Upgrade" = Dropped Frames. Where is the Apple commercial guy now?

    I've wasted 3 hours of my morning trying to correct this issue so far, so any help is appreciated. I "upgraded" to FCS 7.0.1. Now, I can't play more than 5 seconds of video without getting the dropped frames error pop-up. I've tried re-rendering, etc. but to no avail. I have G-speed drives, 2.8 MHz quad-core, and AJA Kona 3 (driver 7.1) card, and it worked fine with the older FCS software. The problem only started after the "upgrade".
    I have a problem with Apple working on so many fringe FCS features when they don't have the core functionality under control. Seems a bit idiotic to me as a medical doctor (kind of like trimming a patient's fingernails instead of working on their cardiac arrest). Even the search window isn't showing correctly in this forum (look in upper right corner) on Safari. Amazing...

    Went through the entire process with AJA Kona 3 tech support (great people who actually know their product line). It is definitely a problem with the FCP 7.0 software. Apple has a great idea = sell you buggy software and then charge you money to talk to them about it! Fantastic!
    When I re-render a segment, it will play without dropped frames the first 2 or 3 times, but then reverts to giving a dropped frame error.
    Again, would be great to see Apple fix the core functionality of FCS (like not losing track of a music clip, or making sure the motion tab window refreshes properly when grabbing/moving an opacity edit point) instead of the silly fringe functions.
    I'll try the fresh install and then re-render all my high-def work. Always great to lose 2 days (will take at least that long to re-render) after paying $299 for an "upgrade" from Apple. Unhappy New Year.

  • Upgrading from Frame Maker 6.0 to Frame Maker 10

    Hi :
    We are trying to upgarde from Frame Maker 6.0 to 10. Have any of you tried this? For years we have been using Frame Maker 6.0 and we some how need to get all our legacy source files working in Frame Maker 10 as well. Do you think this is a good idea? Please advice.
    Thanks
    Clarity

    If you have content in Non-Western-Languages ...
    I would expect that to be about the same challenge for FM7.2 to FM8 as for FM6 to FM10.
    Going to FM8 or above you cross the relatively unmarked border at the Unicode frontier. You need to check your luggage for hidden text damage in transit.
    Safe MIF return to FM7.2 or earlier LegacyLand, with text intact, may be difficult.

  • Frame 12 converting relative paths to absolute paths

    Hi all,
    We recently upgraded to Frame 12 and now have a persistent issue with relative paths to referenced images becoming absolute.  These paths do not traverse a drive and so I believe Frame should be maintaining a relative path for these. In most cases -- perhaps in all, although I have not done exhaustive testing --  the problem paths are for images on a master page.
    Any idea why this might be occurring and what we can do to fix it?  Our docs team shares files checked out from a server, and each time one of us opens a document, it has an absolute path to a location on another writer's computer.  We each maintain the exact same directory structure for all Frame/image files, and again, the path to the problem images is local and does not traverse the C drive.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shelley

    May or may not be relevant, but do the affected relative paths need to traverse the root directory of the logical drive?
    I seem to recall, in experiments some years ago on FM7.1, that the final /../ needed to be at least one level down.

  • Can't create PDF using Frame 11

    Upgraded from Frame 8 to Frame 11, three books print to PDF just fine, one won't. Frame crashes. If I use 'Print' it gives me a log file, but 'Save as PDF' just crashes, no log file. Individual chapters won't print either. Similar to EMTtechwriter's problem, but even worse since chapters won't print. Any clues? Thanks.

    A MIF-wash is the process of saving the FM file as a MIF, then opening the .mif version and re-saving it as the binary .fm file. This is quite simple, but for a book with many files it gets tedious fast.
    FM11 includes a sample utility to automate this, but it isn't installed by default.
    You need to copy from your FM installation [e.g. C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\Samples\ScriptsAndUtilities\BookMIFWash] the BookComponentMIFWash.dll to the fminit folder.
    Then you need to edit the maker.ini file. In the [APIClients] section of the maker.ini file, add:
    MIFwash=Standard, MIF Wash, fminit\BookComponentMIFWash.dll, all
    Now when you start FM you'll have an additional Menu option when a book file is in focus:
    Select the Book MIF Wash option to "cleanse" the book files (this will also update any old files to your current FM version).

  • Suddenly can't see graphics when using Frame 10 on a particular machine

    Upgraded to Frame 10 (from 9) on a Windows 7 x64bit machine about a month ago.  But suddenly today, I started having problems with Frame not recognizing .PSD images in files.  Then it suddenly decided it didn't want to view any images.
    I was able to open the files on another machine and they worked fine - so it does not appear to be the files.  I don't get any crash errors from Frame - it just gives the usual mumbo jumbo about it can't display some graphics and they show up as grayed out.  The object properties still map to what is a valid file.  I'm stumped.
    Happen to anyone else?  Anyone else have an idea why it happened??
    - V

    Sounds like some filter has become corrupt. You could try re-installing.

  • Frame 10 Book won't Generate: Unused Font That Won't Go Away

    We have some very old files that have been upgraded to Frame 10 with new templates. Templates imported just fine, but when you go to generate the book, it pops up the console window telling you about "HelveticaNeueLTStd-TD Font not available" and the states that the book was not updated because of errors during the update process. A particular file shows up on the error list.
    So, I open the file, the Console tells me it is substituting Times New Roman. I try re-importing the template, clean out overrides. Save. Try again, same issues. I have also tried pasting it into a clean template. Same problem. I've even looked at fonts on all my paragraph tags.
    Is there anything I should try before giving up on it, and just pasting text-only into a new template, and reformating from scratch?

    Jane,
    Before you start cleaning your files: Just open all files of the book (open book, hold the shift key, select File > Open All Files in Book, accept all warning messages). From then on book update and everything should work.
    FrameMaker just resists working with files opened in the background that might have some issues.
    - Michael
    PS: Have you tried the new font replacement feature of FrameMaker using the Fonts pod?

  • Newbie Q about Frame 8 and XML

    I am an experienced Frame user but have never used structure in Frame. We're all on 7.2 where I work but soon to upgrade to Frame 8.
    In the marketing poop on Adobe's site they say you can use XSLT or DTD to open XML files in Frame, but I know that in the past you had to muck with something called EDDs as well.
    What is the truth?
    Here is one anticipated use of this ... we can get all the command line commands from developers as XML. We could also get them to give us the appropriate schema. To open and use that in Frame such that it would import and format the commands in a table, or headings with text, what is required in general? And also, where is this process documented?

    Steve,
    A structured document consists of a hierarchy elements, each consisting of other elements, text, or special FrameMaker formatting objects such as markers, cross-references, and anchored frames. Since an XML document also consists of a hierarchy of elements, consisting of other elements and text, it is possible to move data between FrameMaker and XML. However, nothing in XML indicates how the different elements are formatted, or even which are entire paragraphs and which are text ranges within a paragraph. If you want to produce formatted FrameMaker content, you need to configure FrameMaker to apply formatting automatically to different elements based on the context in which they occur
    Document type definitions (DTDs) and schemas are XML constructs for defining the elements that are going to be used in a class of documents and the rules for which elements occur in which contexts. Element definition documents (EDDs) are the FrameMaker equivalent of a DTD along with a stylesheet. An EDD not only defines the element types to be used, but associates formatting with them as well. FrameMaker can generate an EDD from a DTD or schema and such an EDD will define the same element types as the XML definition, but will not have any formatting information.
    XSLT is a transformation language that is used to generate HTML, text languages such as MIF or RTF, or other XML documents from an XML document. FrameMaker can run XSLT automatically when you move material between it and XML. XSLT is useful when you want to use a slightly different structure within FrameMaker and XML.
    EDDs and moving material between FrameMaker and XML is documented in the online Structure Application Developer's Guide.

  • Frame 11 conditional hypertext not handled by Webworks

    Hi all,
    I realize this forum is not about Webworks -- sorry in advance is this post is against guidelines...but I think a number of us probably do use Webworks for conversions, so it seems useful to cross post this here.
    After upgrading to Frame 11 two weeks ago, our hypertext markers are not creating links in our Webworks-generated HTML The hypertext markers are conditional text in Frame so that they are visible only in the HTML and not in the PDF.
    The hyperlinks resolve in Frame. If we remove the cond settings, Webworks creates the link. If we put it back, no link is created, although "HTML" is set to "visible" in our Webworks project.
    Has anyone else seen this? It seems that something changed in Frame 11 regarding conditional text and linking, and Webworks is not yet handling it. Does anyone know if any other related tools are affected by this change?
    Thanks for any help,
    Shelley Hoose
    Rogue Wave Software

    Exactly. We are hiding the links in the PDFs so they don't appear to be broken -- because they don't work.  :-)  But they do work in the HTML, so we have them visible there.  This is a design that has worked fine with Frame 9 and Webworks and now does not work with Frame 11.
    I'll check the frameusers list -- good idea.

  • Upgrading the Oracle Server

    Hello,
    I have a general question regarding an upgrade time frame:
    SAP is the ERP software being used and the Data Base in place is Oracle 9i. Right now the production DB server(where oracle resides) has got 4GB of RAM and we want to upgrade it to 8GB of RAM. My question is how much time would this take in terms of the downtime? One Day? Two Days or what's your opinion?
    More over what precautions should be taken in to account when doing such an upgrade??
    Thank you all.

  • Adobe CS6 Complimentary Upgrades

    As someone who upgraded to Production Premium CS5.5 during the "complimentary upgrade" time frame, I assume at some point, that I will get a email saying how to get a serial number for CS6. Is there any danger in downloading the CS6 trial version beforehand or will I run into installation issues when the full version becomes available?

  • FrameMaker V9 upgrade install uninstalled Acrobat 6!

    We HAD a Frame V7.2, with Acrobat Standard V6. We upgraded to Frame V9, bundled with Acrobat (through CDW). After the install, Acrobat Standard V6 was GONE. The Frame V9 installation included Acrobat V9 DISTILLER, but we need the functionality of Acrobat STANDARD (we often have to work in .pdf documents outside of Frame). Now, we have a Tech. Pubs. office that is BROKEN!
    My questions:
    -Do we have to now buy a new license for Acrobat Standard (even though we had that functionality BEFORE the Frame V9 install -- bought specifically bundled with Acrobat so we wouldn't run into problems with Frame-Acrobat incompatibility and feature loss?
    -If we DO need to buy a new Acrobat Standard license, will a standard install work properly with Frame (this hasn't always been the case with past releases). Also, what kind of deal could we work with Adobe for the cost since we were kind of blind-sided into this?
    -How about Acrobat Pro? We found this ALWAYS works with FrameMaker. We have licenses for Acrobat Pro, but this is V7.2 -- which will not install over the (FORCED) Acrobat V9 install now in place after the Frame install. Again, what kind of deal could we work with Adobe for the cost if we need to upgrade THESE licenses?
    This is very frustrating and convoluted. Booo, Adobe -- I know Frame is a teeny part of your sales, but Frame and Acrobat should work better together than this, considering the target users.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    --Bob Mueller

    I have the exact same problem.  I also tried installing Acrobat Standard 6.0 on after FrameMaker 9 is installed and was able to do that successfully.  However, I get an error during installation indicating the printer cannot install and sure enough, the PDF printer is gone after the installation, which also means that Frame's "Save as PDF" function no longer works either.  It seems pretty ridiculous to me that these two products are not compatible.  Have you found a solution other than upgrading your Acrobat Standard?

  • Does Frame 11 come with Acrobat?

    We are considering upgrading from Frame 7 to Frame 11. Version 7 came on a CD that also had Acrobat Distiller. Does Frame 11 still come bundled with Distiller? If not, do you have to buy Distiller separately? If you do, which Acrobat is recommended? Standard, Pro, or what? Alternatively, can you just use the Distiller that came with version 7? Also, if you want Acrobat Standard or Pro, do you have to buy that separately?

    > Frame 11 has a plug in that behaves same as acrobat does and created the pdf ...
    Correct me if I'm mistaken, but as I understand it, if one buys the stand-alone FM product (FM9 or later), the PDF capabilities are:
    Save-as PDF
    Print-to PDF
    Print to PostScript file (but no separate Distill)
    There is no Distiller GUI.
    Any version of Acrobat that you have, such as Reader, gets no additional features.
    On the whole, I imagine that it's quite like the "fmnorm" daemon that FM7/Unix uses to generate PDF. Perhaps a bit less opaque.
    So you need to buy Acrobat X, or TCS, if you need to do things like:
    Distill PS to PDF
    Post-process PDFs (redact, for example)
    Batch-process PDFs
    True?
