"tabstyle" attribute of table element not supporting multiple values

June 3, 2008, 12:08 pm

After many trials and errors, I have structured my many legacy documents (using CALS for the table structure), but I did them several months ago. I now have a "leftover" document that I followed my procedure step-by-step to convert it to a structured FM doc as well; however, when I test saving the structured FM doc as an XML file, I get the following error messages for the many tables in the doc:
"Error at line nnn, char 45, Message: Attribute 'tabstyle' does not support multiple values"

I can use the same EDD, DTD, and r/w rules to correctly save my previously structured docs to XML with no such errors, but not this one. Any idea what I've done... or not done... to cause this error?

Thanks in advance...

Hello,

I have a C# windows application that interacts with the database and does some processing. Is it possible to invoke this application from within frame? Also, is it possible to pass the data back to Frame from this application (eg. on click on some event)?

Thanks,

I installed Acrobat Pro 8 and now I can no longer create pdfs from Frame 7. I get the following message:

FrameMaker could not find Acrobat Distiller printer Instance, which must be installed to execute Save as PDF command.

Is there a way to fix this w/out having to reinstall Frame?

FDK: F_ApiUpdateBook() always results in FA_errno=-1

March 25, 2009, 5:28 am

Hi,

I have seen this posted a couple times with no real solution and I would like to get to the bottom of it. I am trying to automatically update a book before saving as PDF via the FDK. It looks like the function F_ApiUpdateBook(..) should do this, but it always fails with FA_errno set to -1, which supposedly means:

#define FE_Transport -1 /* Communications is falling apart */

This is odd, because another poster (Angelo?) suggested that when he had this same problem and failed to make it work (receiving the same error), he just used the API call F_ApiSimpleGenerate(..). I tried this, and it appears to work - meaning it generates a bunch of files, and there are no errors. Good.

However! The docs recommend I call F_ApiUpdateXRefs(..) before calling F_ApiSimpleGenerate(..). The problem is - if I call this on my book it fails with FA_errno = -2, meaning an invalid book or document id. So perhaps I need to call this on every document in the book? But then what about all those other F_ApiUpdate* functions - do I need to call them individually as well? This just seems ridiculous when there is a perfectly good API function called F_ApiUpdateBook(..) that is supposed to do it all in one go!

Has anyone got this to work...ever? I have searched until I am blue in the face with no luck. I tried editing the parameter script to basically not attempt to update anything, and F_ApiUpdateBook(..) still fails with FA_errno = -1. It seems like there is something fundamentally wrong here.

I am on FrameMaker 7.2.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark.

I am trying to add a "PRELIMINARY" watermark to every page of a structured document in FrameMaker 7.1.  I added the text in a text box to the master pages, but the graphics boxes in my document block out the watermark.  I tried placing the text in a graphics box, but that gave the same results.  Is there a way to bring a watermark to the front of graphics boxes?

XML import deletes whitespace after xref element

Hi,

 

FM10 not patched, WinXP SP3

 

I've bumped into a very serious problem that I am able to replicate, but not solve. When I import (custom) XML, any whitespace following <xref> elements is deleted. I don't know if it exclusive to crossreference elements or any no-content elements... but for sure it is happening with xrefs.

 

Here is a zip with sample files with which I am able to replicate this. The XML file has two <xref>s separated by "and". When you import the XML (using the DTD, rules, and template provided), the whitespace before the "and" is deleted.

 

http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/downloads/test.zip

 

I disabled all my personal plugins and all DITA plugins that I could find, same thing.

 

I don't know if anyone has the time to look at this, but I'd be very appreciative if anyone could confirm the problem. This has caused a real mess in my source files that I can go fix using non-breaking spaces, but this is really a pain and very much suboptimal.

 

Thanks,

Russ

XSLT to convert XML into Tables

May 17, 2012, 5:48 pm

Hi,

 

I'm trying to import my XML data into a table format. After adding an XSL file to my Structure Application as a Preprocessing Stylesheet, and importing my XML instance file with the Template file opened, the "Unknown File Type" error window appeared asking for a file format to Convert From. Picking any one doesn't create a table.

 

The XSL file tranforms the XML data into an HTML file that has a table with columns corresponding to the XML data. I was thinking using that type of XSL because it renders tables.

 

Below is the XSL markup:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

 

<xsl:template match="/">

  <html>

  <body>

  <h2>Products</h2>

    <table border="1">

      <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">

        <th>Title</th>

        <th>Number</th>

        <th>Date</th>

      </tr>

      <xsl:for-each select="Products/Product">

      <tr>

        <td><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></td>

        <td><xsl:value-of select="Number"/></td>

        <td><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></td>

      </tr>

      </xsl:for-each>

    </table>

  </body>

  </html>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

 

Title, Number, and Date are child elements of the Product element, which is a child element of the Products root element in my XML file.

 

Am I applying the stylesheet correctly here? Am I using the write kind of stylesheet?

 

Thanks,

zeb

Structured Framemaker/XML Resources—Where to Begin?

I'm new to Structured Framemaker and XML, though I've used Unstructured Framemaker for several years. My company has asked me to look into options for converting our many publications to e-book format, but I'm a bit overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. Can anyone offer a basic outline for what to focus on, in what order, and good resources for learning? I learn best by example, and links are welcome.

 

Thank you.

Special Char not Translating into Horizontal Tab in Structured FM 11

In the office where I work, we are upgrading from Structured FrameMaker 8 in Win XP to Structured FrameMaker 11 in Win 7. Part of the work that I do involves importing xml feeds into Structured FrameMaker templates using an automated process. As I am testing the importing into FM 11 I am noticing that the special character code used for a horizontal tab - &#09; - is not translating into a tab after the xml feed has been imported into the FM 11 template. It does translate into a horizontal tab when imported into FM 8. What special character code should be used for horizontal tabs in FM11?

Internal Error 12024, 18652356, 18692061 and 18514761 during reopening a FM12 file

Hello everybody,

 

I can not open a FM12 file, the internal error code 12024, 18652356, 18692061 and 18514761 tells me nothing and I unless searching for a plain text translation for the error codes! This kind of trouble occures from time to time but now, first time on FM12. Therefore I try to check if my EDD rules producing this mistake, error or other undefined loop. I like to fix this error but I need to know where is the mistake, one week of work are be in danger in this case... !!!

 

Anybody a idea to fix this issue? (no *.Backup / *.Recovery file existing)

Any possibilities for "OPEN IN SAVE MODE"

Any possibilities for "CHECK FILE BEFORE TRY TO OPEN"

 

I can not believe that Adobe is unable to define plain text error codes, the technical support in unreachable!

Thanks for help,

column width from xml attribute to framemaker table

I'm trying to set the column widths of a table in framemaker by importing the width from an attribute in the imported xml file. But it doesn't work...

 

This is from my read/write rules:

 

element "ITEM-CELL-LIST"

{

is fm table cell element;

attribute "width" is fm property column width;

fm property column width value is "2cm";

}

 

The last line that specifies the width to 2cm seems to be accepted as I can save the EDD as DTD without errors, but it has no effect on the actual widths of the table created.

The line above it doesn't work at all. When I try to save the EDD, I get the following error: "Invalid property specified for the element (ITEM-CELL-LIST)."

 

I've tried every way I can think of, but nothing seems to work

The only way I've been able to actually set the widths is by creating a table in the master template page and resizing the columns. That carries over to the imported xml.

Publishing DITA content through DITA-OT or Save as PDF?

Hi Frame users and DITA enthusiasts

 

I would like to ask for your opinions when publishing DITA content to PDF, either with DITA-OT or Adobe PDF.

This is my first DITA Project and I been testing and playing around with both options but feeling stuck as I can't decide which option to go with.

Both the DITA-OT or Save as PDF will require some modifications, so I rather do things the hard way, then having to go back and create a new publishing template later.


Thanks and best regards

FMv7, Open With/File Association

Installed FMv9 after installing FMv7.

On file server, v7 files now show v9 Icon.

When doubleclicking v7 files, they open in v9.

When right clicking v7 file, to Open With, v7 is not listed as an option. If I Browse to v7.exe and select it, the Open With dialog still does not show v7.

We have to abort Open With, start FMv7, and then drag v7 file onto FM program window. Or, in FMv7 program, do File Menu > Open and navigate to v7 file.

 

What happened to the File Association to FM v7? And why can we not open v7 files via Open With?

 

Thanks,

Dave
