Can I export only conditional text 'show' for a mif?

When I export a document with conditional text to a pdf file, just the conditional text which has the value 'show' (and the unconditional text) appears in the pdf file.  It's good, but I want the same thing when you export a mif.  There are two reasons for this:

(1) we have an internal tool that analyzes a mif and retrieves the data in some tables to fill a database.  The tool is not analyze PDF files.  And the tool does not always correctly, manage conditional text lines conditional in particular the table text.  The tool will work fine if the conditional text was already "solved" when exporting to the mif.

(2) I would use the Boolean logic for conditional text, which is available in FM9 but I need to supply files to other groups in society who use FM7.  Their FM7 wouldn't show conditional text correctly if it depends on nothing else than to the logic of the GOLD.  But they would be happy to accept files mif which had no conditional text because it had been "resolved" when I generated a file mif7 for them.

I tried different ways to convert a pdf into a mif file, but no process seems to preserve the formatting and text editable. I'd be ready to accomplish this somehow roundabout on Framemaker, Acrobat Pro or another tool.

But the happiest result for me would be to discover that FM9 already has the ability to export only the conditional 'show' and the text unconditionally to a mif.

Or is it possible to make a copy of the document and then somehow automate the removal of conditional text 'hide' and 'show' unconditional conditional text conversion?

doc_engineer,

You could manually delete the conditions hidden from the files before the Save as MIF, by choosing the option remove all text hidden as well. If you want to completely automated, however, you need to perform some shows, in which case I would recommend setting your post-processing tool in order to recognize the conditional text correctly, rather than make FM do something which is less-than-optimal, IMHO.

Your best bet of all would be to abandon the MIF format altogether and use a structured XML author, with which you can use for the conditional metadata attribute values. With this, you could also abandon the model of FrameMaker condition for a much more robust system of conditionalizing content tag. It would be more flexible and certainly easier to design the post-processing step, as there are many tools available for the treatment of XML metadata and the ability to analyze the attribute values is commonplace among them.

    Hello

    How can we export itno csv data file for oracle forms

    For example. I have the block called A.what never the data displayed on a block, when I click on a button, displays the block data, must be exported to the csv file.

    My application is running on the unix operating system.

    Please help on this.

    First of all.  What is your version of forms (for example: 11.1.2.2.0 not 11g).  Finally, who will use the .csv file?  If it is a user on their client computer - CLIENT_TEXT_IO TEXT_IO or WebUtil are standard packages used to export data to a file of Oracle Forms.

    The amount of data to be exported?  If you export only a couple hundred lines - export of Froms will be OK.  If you export more lines than that (300 + lines) then the export will be extremely slow to your username.  Keep in mind that forms is not designed to perform data exports - there are better tools available for this...

  • Has anyone seen this error of conditional text: show/hide is incompatible?

    When I generate my book file, I get the following error in the log:

    Show/hide hidden is incompatible.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem?

    Thank you

    Janie Gulley

    FrameMaker assumes that when you export a book, you would like conditional text to shown the same way across all documents in the book. It warns you if it is not so.

    "Show/hide hidden is incompatible" means that the hidden state is not configured the same throughout your book. For example, it can be displayed in some documents but hidden in others, or an indicator of Condition red in some texts, but blue in others.

    To resolve this problem:

    1. Select a document in your book where the conditional text settings are correct and open.
    2. Click on the book and type Ctrl + A to select all the documents in it.
    3. Choose file > import > Formats. Import the Formats dialog box appears:
      1. Click deselect all.
      2. Check the conditional text settings .
      3. Click import.

    All the documents in your book have now the same conditional text as your chosen document settings.

  • Can I export my site in HTML "text"?

    Hello

    My college courses is forces me to make a site for a research project. I use Muse CC 2014 and I came across a problem. My teacher asks me to view this Web site on their Web site in an "HTML editor". I guess that my site will have to be exported as HTML, but only as text so that I can spent in the field on the my course Web site.

    I exported my site in HTML but I am provided with a file that I can download. My course Web site will not accept the exported HTML file, so I wonder if there is a way for me to paste my site as HTML text into the box, so I can publish my site. I'll give you an attached image showing the HTML code that I need to paste my site into the editor.

    Here is the image of the field that I need to paste the HTML of my site text.

    HTML is just text. You can open it in the editor similarly simpler.

  • Guidelines for the use of conditional text

    I'm looking for instructions on the use of conditional text. Our company has grown, and that the range of products has increased, the number of conditional text tags has increased. We are up to 30 tags and continues to grow. I was struck my colleague to start breaking this system a bit, because I'm afraid, it becomes a House of cards. Colleague has been 20 years and grew up with the system - it's the only one that it is used. He sees nothing wrong with it. The tags are in its abbreviation. When I mentioned that everybody don't would not new understand them, his response was that they would teach them eventually. Also, it's starting to get to the point where some sentences are be mislabeled, causing many errors.

    Are there guidelines I refer who say in the use of conditional text is too large so that it's not just my word? 


    Milmacrose

    You might want to take a look at Matt Sullivan & Sarah O'Keefe book (edition Fundamentals - unstructured FrameMaker 11; Chapter 24) for some background information on the consequences of the use of the multiple conditional tags. Depending on what your choice (i.e. to hide or show content based on the condition tag), you can get in very complex situations with some items possibly requiring each combination of tags applied to prevent display (or display) as needed. Even with simple simple conditional tags, it can reach a very large number of unique tags required (mathematically, you are summing a series of combinations). For example, [as used in the Book], given a product in Light versions, Standard and Pro with specific online requirements & Print for Mac, Windows and Unix, there are 32 conditional tags applied correctly. If you have content that should appear in a few versions, it climbs easily up to 47 unique tags. You'd be better trying to herd a bunch of cats in a field of grass cat...

  • How can I read only text files in a directory.

    I wrote a program to play the files in a directory, but I want to let him read the text files from the directory.

    import java. IO;

    public class {data}

    Public Shared Sub main (String [] args) throws IOException {}

    String target_dir = "C:\\files";

    File dir = new File (target_dir);

    File files [] = dir.listFiles ();

    for (file textfiles: files) {}

    If (textfiles.isFile ()) {}

    InputStream BufferedReader = null;

    try {}

    inputStream = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (textfiles));

    String line;

    While ((line = inputStream.readLine ())! = null) {}

    System.out.println (Line);

    }

    } {Finally

    If (inputStream! = null) {}

    inputStream.close ();

    }

    }

    }

    }

    }

    }

    You mentioned you want to only read text files.

    If you are referring to a specific set of extensions, you can filter on this basis.

    ex: you want to only read .txt files, you can add an if condition as below:

              if(textfiles.getName().endsWith(".txt")) {
                  // Add your code here
              }

  • We use Flash Pro CC creating animations with legends and export to html 5.  We must translate the captions in other languages. How can we download translation of texts in our flash animations so we can use them in html5 using CreateJS?

    We use Flash Pro CC creating animations with legends and export to html 5.  We must translate the captions in other languages. How can we download translation of texts in our flash animations so we can use them in html5 using CreateJS?  I use the Flash on a Mac OSX 10.10.3

    Are you familiar with JavaScript?

    It does not completely answer your question, but the text displayed on the screen from any language (ActionScript/CreateJS / [insert the programming language]) generally all following the same path. Each language has a file stored in some form of key = value style, named through the language and the country of your choice, for example en_US.json

    Any language would allow the user to choose regional settings. The application would then grab the appropriate file and everywhere where the text is needed, the script must be using a (usually global or singleton) variable/service that can get the text of the requested key.

    for example if I wanted a user to have a confirmation of dialogue who said 'are you sure?"with buttons for 'Yes' and 'No', I would have (for me), an Englishman, USA base file en_US.json with these values, for example:

    en_US. JSON example:

    {

    'CONFIRM_YES_NO': ' are you sure?

    'YES': '' Yes. ''

    'NO': 'no '.

    }

    Then you use simply JS/AJAX to read this file. You analyze, or simply JSON decode in an object, or manually, depending on what suits your needs. When you want to display any text, you use the object (variable, maintenance, etc.) you have stored these values.

    for example calling to display function confirm dialogue:

    Nickname... but if you understand...

    and this comes from jQuery UI (see here)

    function confirmDialog() {}

    $(«#dialog-confirmer»).dialog({)

    Title: LocalizationObject ['CONFIRM_YES_NO'],

    buttons:]

    {

    text: LocalizationObject ["YES"],

    Click: function() {/ / do something for 'yes '.

    }

    {

    text: LocalizationObject ["NO"],

    Click: function() {/ / do something to the 'no '.

    }

    ]

    });

    }

    Please consider loosely. 'LocalizationObject' is a variable object or service that returns the appropriate text for the key that you provide. In this case, he provided the key 'CONFIRM_YES_NO', 'YES' and 'NO', which must be on the right answer for this key, localized.

    Again, this is not a manual on how to do it via Flash Pro but it's the general conceptual way you could do it in any language. There are a variety of other ways to do it, but it's a very simple way, as long as you keep your key names at least wake up verbose. A key name such as LocalizationObject ["ABC123"] is not really tell you what the key can be referred. Also nest them contributes greatly, as LocalizationObject ["UI'] ['DIALOGUES'] ['CONFIRM'] ['YES_NO'] = ' are you sure? It just shows I nested the title of the dialog within the user interface, because it is the text that appears in the user interface rather than content. Then inside dialog boxes that may contain a variety of different dialog boxes. Then inside her CONFIRM type of dialogue. Finally, the type is a dialogue YES_NO type (as opposed to OK_CANCEL or JUST_OK, etc.). Whole set makes it easy to understand what the text of reading: UI YES_NO confirm DIALOG boxes.

    I hope that from here you can see that you need to review everywhere you display text on the screen and centralize it in a sort of object (function or variable) of your choice. You must store the external language files to prevent unnecessarily load the other languages as well as an easy to modify Setup.

    The rest is just using basic JavaScript.

    Just be ready for the most difficult challenge. At least for me. The size of the text in several languages is very different, and in some cases requires the loading of special fonts. This can make layout in a very difficult dynamic environment. Always thinking all text how big or small can be in any particular and plan field on this size more and shrink so that to handle this situation correctly.

  • Show/hide conditional text to a book level

    I use TCS2 on Windows XP.

    9.0 FM p250

    I have several files as part of a great book of FM. Each file has the same conditional text tags. Can I, at a level of book, put my conditions to show/hide, etc. and then update the book? So far, I don't know how to open each file, define the TEXT CONDITIONAL SHOW/HIDE like I need (is not to show very indicators and according to my built-up expression) then save and close each file.

    Is there a way to make all my files at once? Note I want them all put the same way... so that might make it easier...

    Thank you

    I do not have FrameMaker available right now, so I work from memory, using FrameMaker traditional menus, rather than the FM 9 tools.

    Select all the files in the window of the book. With the asset book window, open the view menu and search for conditional text. Your settings here apply to all the files selected in the address book window, so it is possible to establish conditions on some or all of the files. CTRL + click to select non-contiguous files; Shift + click to select a range of contiguous files.

  • Can I export my bookmarks to a file text to ensure I ever lose them?

    When I was with Internet Explorer, the browser allowed me to export my favorites in a text file that I could attach it to an email, or just keep. This is so that if the program never planted or something like that was lost, I would have always all my favorites that I could then import again if necessary. I was wondering if this feature appears on the Firefox browser. If not, I will never lose my favorites? How can I make sure that I don't have to remember all my favorites on top of my head?

    Bookmarks > show all bookmarks-> import and backup - export HTML...

    HTML is a text-based format and can be viewed in any browser or the source code can be viewed in a text reader program.

    Ok. Let's say the name of the radio button group is "Radio1", the value of exports in this field is '3', the name of the subtotal is "Subtotal" and tax rate is 16%. You can use this code as the custom calculation of the tax field script:
