Hello Klaus,

thanks, that worked except for <Absatzstandardschrift> I had to use <Default

are available as empty elements.

Hi Wim,

I have done that using the new structured features of FrameScript 5.x. Basically
using XSL preprocessing I add the Processing Instructions to make sure that
files are created for each generated file. I also assume that the template
already has the necessary definitions on the Reference Pages. Then, during the
opening process of the XML file, I wait until the book is complete and then
traverse the book components to set the properties of the generated files
accordingly. Updating the book is the last step... However, the solution is very
much tied to the customer’s structure. But it is possible and users quickly feel
like »Why did we ever had to set up TOCs manually?«

Hi guys,

Can someone help me, please. I am not that familiar with FrameScript.
My Tcl code runs FrameScript and expects it to generate a single PDF file.

I took the SaveBookAsPdf script to generate a single PDF file, thinking that it
does so but now see that it generates separate PDF files for FrameMaker files in
the book.

Is there a way to get a single PDF file?

Please advise.
Thanks,
Hrachya

I use the fc code to exercise change tracking commands. You can get the
fc codes with the MenuList sample script.

Hi all,

i have a task pending in my hand that has to check all the Tables in the in the
FM Document, whether it exceeds the page Margin, or not.

I have to get the Table left Margin, and Table Right Margin, and i have to check
whether it exceeds with the Page Left Margin and Page Right Margin.

I have got the left and right margin or the Document, by the code,

activedoc.leftmargin
activedoc.rightmargin

How do i get Table start and end point any ideas..

Hi Rob,

If vObjList[idx].TextType='MarkerAnchor'
   // Get the marker object.
   Set oMarker = vObjList[idx].TextData;
   // Write the marker's text to the Console.
   Write Console oMarker.MarkerText;
   // Write the marker's type to the Console.
   Write Console oMarker.MarkerTypeId.Name;
EndIf

I'm not clear on how to write a script that walks through all the files in a
book. I don't want to specify file names using Open Document.

If I open all the files in the book before I run the script, what command opens
the next available file?

Dr. Gonzo,

There is an example script that ships with the plug-in, showing you exactly how
to apply a script to all components of a book.

OK, it is part of the Lib/DocUtils.fsl.

The function "ForAllDocsInBook" is explained in the UsersGuide.pdf at page 69.

A while back, I copied some of the info from Thomas' page into our
writer's guide. This is what I have.

Dealing with unavailable fonts

When you open a FrameMaker document, there are times when the message
Document named XYZ uses unavailable fonts. To reformat the document using
available fonts, click OK. This problem occurs when the fonts in the
document aren't on your system.
However, when you click OK FrameMaker doesn't remember the font settings.
This can get annoying quite quickly -- not only do you have to click OK on
the warning message each time you open the file, this problem can also
prevent FrameMaker from updating the book that the document is in.
To deal with this problem, do the following:
1.      In FrameMaker, make sure that the file that contains the missing
font is closed.
2.      Select File > Preferences > General. The Preferences dialog box
appears.
3.      Deselect the option Remember Missing Font Names and then click Set
.
4. Restart FrameMaker.
5. Open the file that contains the missing fonts, save it, then close it.

Hope this helps.

That's not what I need. Albeit this isn't a high priority I'd still like to do
it. From what I've read it's difficult so the more info I have the better.

Our documents have throughout the years become polluted by a few fonts and by
numerous character and paragraph formats that aren't visible but are still there
somehow, probably in spaces and paragraph markers.

Rather than tell Frame to forget the fonts I want to really get rid of them.
Same thing with tags; these tags, even though they're not visible, cause
thousands of errors when I generate the on-line help.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Ok, sorry the info wasn't of use.

I've had to do similar types of cleanup on Frame files, and I've found
that sometimes the simplest thing is to save the files as MIF and process
them outside of Frame in a text editor. You can do a lot with a good text
editor that supports regular expressions.

Steve and Keith,

I have a similar problem, but switching off Remember Missing Fonts and resaving
just doesn't work -- and while I can get rid of some instances by a manual
search/replace in the .MIF, the problem still remains (and it seems to be
occurring in more FM docs every week).

My missing font message is:

The "ITC Stone Sans Std Medium Bold" Font is not available.
   "StoneSansStd-Semibold" will be used in this session.

We do have "ITC Stone Sans Std Medium" on all of our systems, but not "ITC Stone
Sans Std Medium Bold".

Hmmm. I just re-read the exerpt from Thomas's page and realised that I have not
been restarting Frame. Did that, in combination with some added font
substitutions in maker.ini, and finally no Missing Font messages -- for the
first
book anyway.

Thanks all

I've used the same approach, except that I've taken it one step further by
keeping "scripts" of regular expressions. The inexpensive TextPipe Lite allows
you to automate your regular expressions, and I recommend it.

Using TextPipe Lite, I'm done the actual replacing of old fonts in a matter of
seconds (as in, under 30 seconds). Converting back from MIF to FM is actually
the longest part of the process (despite helpful plugins).

If there's a Framescript-based solution to the problem of fonts, I hope someone
will share it.

I've spent some hours on this and I'm not getting anywhere. If someone can help
me get started I'll figure out the rest.

I have a paragraph format named H1 Head1NoBreak and I would like to replace it
with another existing format named H1 Head1. IOW, I'm not creating a new format,
I'm subsituting one for the other.

Here is my script:

// Set a variable for the active document.
  Set vCurrentDoc = ActiveDoc;
// Set a variable for the first paragraph in the main flow.
Set vPgf = vCurrentDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstPgfInFlow;
// Get the Head1NoBreak paragraph format object.
Get Object Type(Pgf) Name('H1 Head1NoBreak') DocObject(vCurrentDoc)
NewVar(vPgfToRename);
If vPgfToRename
// If the format exists, get ready to rename.
Set vPgfToRename.Name = 'H1 Head1';
Else
// If the format doesn't exist, warn the user.
MsgBox 'Head1NoBreak is not in this document. ';
EndIf


The problem is that I get the error even though H1 Head1NoBreak is on the first
page of the document. I wonder if the problem isn't with this:

Set vPgf = vCurrentDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstPgfInFlow;

Or maybe I need to loop through the paragraphs, but even if I start with the
cursor on the correct paragraph I still get the error.

What am I doing wrong?

That is very disappointing. Once upon a time we had a tools guy who wrote Lexer
scripts that would do things like this; in fact, he could do just about anything
with MIFs. The whole reason I bought FrameScript was the idea that it could do
the same kinds of things.

On to the next dilemma....

I found an example in the User's Guide on which I based the following script.
The example in this post is from another post.

I'm new to both FrameScript and to scripting itself unless you count WordPerfect
5.1 macros.... So I'd like someone to comment as to the two approaches. Why is
one so much simpler than the other? Is either one better for some reason?

Here's the script that worked; note that it iterates through the entire
document.

Get Object Type(pgfFmt) Name('H1 Head1') NewVar(ParaToChangeTo);
Loop ForEach(Pgf) In(ActiveDoc) LoopVar(ParaToChangeFrom)
If ParaToChangeFrom.Name = 'H1 Head1NoBreak'
Set ParaToChangeFrom.Properties = ParaToChangeTo.Properties;
EndIf
EndLoop

Hello Dr Gonzo,

your original script was based on some wrong assumptions of how FrameMaker
works. As with any API programming it is the most work to learn how the
application behaves.

I add some comments and best practice conventions to the working solution:

Local lvParaToChange lvParaToChangeFrom;

// Get the paragraph format (!) object and save it to a variable
Get Object Type(PgfFmt) Name('H1 Head1') NewVar(lvParaToChangeTo);
// Lop through *every* paragraph on *every* page (even master pages)
// the reference to current paragraph is stored in lvParaToChangeFrom
Loop ForEach(Pgf) In(ActiveDoc) LoopVar(lvParaToChangeFrom)
   If (lvParaToChangeFrom.Name = 'H1 Head1NoBreak')
     // Apply the properties of the pgf format to the current pgf
     // this is like clicking the pgf format name in the pgf catalog
     Set lvParaToChangeFrom.Properties = lvParaToChangeTo.Properties;
   EndIf
EndLoop

I recommend you work through Rick Quatro’s tutorials to get a better grasp of
how FM works:

http://frameexpert.com/tutorials/index.htm

Especially "Navigating Paragraphs" will show a way to loop through your main
text flow.
