Hi All, I've got a Frame document that I am developing that uses conditions extensively. For this project, Frame is largely acting as a content manager for...
When I read posts like this it makes me glad we switched to a CMS tool and are not messing around in Frame, forcing it beyond what it was made to do. For those...
No worries Bryan. I definitely realize that we are quickly coming to the end of Frame and WWP's usefulness. I'm really forcing both tools to do things they...
It's possible with some workarounds and extra software. We have similar situations. We use a FrameScript script that creates temporary "composite conditions"...
I get it, but I'd have to buy FrameScript. I've never worked with it. What do you do with it apart from compositing conditions? Is it useful? (Their website...
Kandis, I don't know how many audiences you have, but I used to have documents with very few audiences, and I created conditions which included all possible...
We use it for all kinds of things to make life easier. * Adding table continuation variables to all the appropriate tables in a book * Changing the DPI of all...
A position of Technical Writer - Technical Documentation and Communication Department-PRO03224 has just been posted in the "Join Cirque" section of ...
Hey France, I have more audiences than that, but I think I'm going to have to create two more conditions to support those "composite" conditions. It's going to...
Thanks Rick. I'm going to look into FrameScript more. It might allow us to do what we need to do at a more modest price tag than implementing a more...
I know several of you are pretty good at putting Acrobat through its paces, so I'm hoping you might have some suggestions for me. I created a master document +...
I'm sure you already checked this (but god knows I have blonde days and overlook the obvious sometimes) - did you verify that the "Convert Internet Links"...

The Circus has problems with Acrobat?!? Sorry, couldn't help myself, even if I'm repeating a joke. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!...
No worries: I was thinking it as I was writing it... Tiffany Crotogino ... From: Michel Thibodeau [mailto:michthibodeau@...] Sent: 3 March, 2004 11:07 AM...
I'd like to say I have, but I haven't even been able to find such a creature! I've been through Distiller, I've been through the help file: nothing. Searched...
Do you have the Acrobat icon on your Word menu bar? I'm sure, if you right-click the menus, you'll have the option to add it. So, open any Word doc, click the ...
Michel, Wish that it were so. In fact, when I click the Adobe button, it simply asks we where I want to save my pdf and then takes off on its own...No options,...
In my version of Acrobat(PDFMaker 5.0), you can find it in Word under the Acrobat menu: select Change Conversion Settings, then have a look in the Office tab...

Bill, is that a lisp, or are you talking with your mouth full? <giggle> Tiffany, sorry, can't help you anymore. Unless! You said that you have sub-documents,...
Thanks for helping me find that! Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem because it has indeed been checked all along... Tiffany Crotogino ... From: Susan...
Hmm. In the PDF, are the links blue and clickable? i.e. you can click them and it opens a browser window but it throws you a 404 message? ... From: Crotogino,...

Good idea, Michel, but that's not where my problem lies. The Master document and sub-documents themselves are behaving properly. The internal links within the...
Well, commas are not normal URL language; I'm guessing that perhaps Adobe's analyzer determines the end of a URL as the point when the first non-URL-type...

No. It's even weirder than that. It's set to open the link in a web browser (IE). It opens the intranet site but to a blank page. Our intranet template ...
Well, that makes sense if the URLs are truncated (internal logic in the intranet site). But why, O why are the URLs being truncated, is the last unfathomable...

Did you download the latest patch or upgrade. I've had that problem with Acrobat 6... I waited 3 weeks for the patch... good thing I still had an older version...
... The problem is that Word does not feed link information to Acrobat Distiller. You cannot get links to work at all in Word documents if you use Distiller. ...
