• Conditional text / Global

  I created my doc style source, conditional text (for a chapter number on the first page of each doc in my book file) which could be hidden when exported to ePub.

  It worked. Then I tried this hidden feature applied globally to all the docs.

  Then I synced all my book file docs, but the hidden conditional text feature did not carry over to the other docs. I can see the status in the conditional text panel in each doc, but it does not work.

  What step am I missing?

  Thank you

  Condition properties are not defined in paragraph or character styles.

  To add an existing condition in a file, you can use the menu load Conditions drop down group conditional text and choose a file in which the condition already exists. OR, you can use find: , research: all the files in the book and Format change: in . If your target documents have a single paragraph or a character style applied number of chapter on the first page of each doc, you would specify find what: and the shape of the change to the .

  Then, to set show/hide the condition property in the target, in the Panel menu files book fly-out > Synchronization Options, choose other > conditional text settings and synchronize some or all of the files in the book with the designated Style Source file.

  IOW, Synchronize adds conditions that exist in the Source of Style file for the target files and sets the display/hide properties from the State to those of the source of style. Conditions that are already applied to the content in the target files will behave according to the settings show/hide that are synchronized in the target files.

• 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.

• Conditional text causes the crash

  Hello
  Currently, one of my projects seems to be corrupted as when I create conditional text and exclude any condtion of output, web help and html outputs help crash on the compilation. Please can someone help?

  Hi Peter,.
  RH6...
  Actually your website has solved this via extract 71. What had happened, it was that I had reinstalled HR to solve a problem wiith HR for word, but then concluded that my web project with conditional text aid and projects merged would compile if a conditional build expression was used. A colleague kindly helped diagnose the problem and quickly, we spotted that the dll had been updated and Reinstall RH had crushed the new dll. replacing these cured the problem.

  Thank you very much.

• Books of fusion and OCD using conditional text

  Hi all

  I'm trying to merge four books with similar content in one book by using conditional text.

  Instead of going to and comparing the three output files (pdf) one by one, I went through and tried to compare the documents/chapters in each book one by one. I applied the conditions for text added or deleted accordingly (it was a shortcut, and I know, not really advisable). But the problem I am facing now is that the table of contents do not work, if I try the technique of comparison.

  My question is, are at - it another way to merge several books and their tables of contents in one only book and table of contents, other than each chapter line-by-line reading and apply conditional text tags to associated content?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  RG

  Post edited by: Rashmi gourn Hello... anyone? No help is available for conditional tagging in Framemaker, AFAIK. Wait for some sort of answer from the experts here... Kind regards

  Simply create a new book file that contains all the files (with the exception of the generated - including the table of contents). Then create the appropriate - including the TOC generated files. You can import the existing formatting from the relevant files generated in an other books.

  I don't have any front-end text editor (such as FrameMaker) or I'd do it here. Dreamweaver can do this without complex workarounds or procedures not supported?

  Thank you very much.

  OK, that's fine. DW not conditionalization and I'll see if I can get what I need to do or find another approach.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

• strategy of conditional text for Pro and Express

  I use robohelp 9 and could use a little sorting out my strategy of conditional text for an aid project.

  * The project is a Pro and Express version

  * The Pro version includes all the subjects of the project

  * The Express version has a subset of subjects ranging from the Pro version

  Given that all unmarked subjects are included in a conditional text version, I wonder if I should do the following:

  * Mark all topics as 'Pro '.

  * Add an additional tag to all express themes such as "express".

  My expression of construction will be ' include express. "

  The problem I have with this solution, is that I wonder if there is a solution simpler or easier than having first to mark all topics as 'pro '.

  Is there a better way to solve this problem of conditional compilation?

  Hello

  I would think that it would be easier to simply determine what topics are only a part of the Pro version and those exclusion tag when you create the Express version.

  See you soon... Rick

• Book and conditional text Tags file do not match

  With Framemaker 10 (CT 3, Windows 7 64-bit), when I click on a document in a book (& view > show/hide conditional text), there is no such thing as an additional conditional text tag that appears in the text document show/hide conditional.

  For example:

  1. In the book, My Book.book, I select Chapter1.fm (but do not open).
  2. Then I opened the group Show/Hide conditional text (view > show/hide conditional text)
  3. I see these two tags, text to hide and HideTextcondition. I use text hide but not HideText.
     • Apparently, at some point, I changed the name of the condition tag.
  4. I have to open Chapter1.fm.
  5. When I open the Panel of text show/hide conditional , HideText is not there.

  What I want to do is to remove HideText (that I don't use), but I can't find how to court. any ideas out there?

  A little more information that might help to understand what is happening:

  1. I select Chapter1.fm in the book.
  2. Then I select view according to the condition in the group Show/Hide conditional text .
  3. Select the hide field HideText .
  4. Click the left arrow (<-) to move the field to display HideText .
  5. Click apply.
  6. I get this error message in the book error log:
  • Cannot display the following tags because they do not exist in the present document

  So, can someone tell me how to get rid of HideText from files of the book?

  Thank you!

  John N.

  John,

  With only the open book file, even if one of its documents is selected, the show/hide box lists all the conditions in the book. The error message says you that the selected document does not have this tag. Thus, some other documents in the book has the label or that you think that you have changed the name in the past and he is still in the book file to.

  So first, I'd follow the suggestiong of Sheila #4. Save the BOOK as mif. Open the mif with a text editor. Search for the following sequence of lines:

  <>

  .

  .

  .

  > end # ConditionCatalog

  Remove these lines and save the file. Now open the mif file in FrameMaker and save it as a FrameMaker book (in the record dialog, don't forget to remove the string ".mif" at the end of the file name or image will complain). The book was updated. FrameMaker will then create a new catalog of condition in the book based on conditions in the files of the book.

  If the condition is still there, then you need to find the document that contains still. You can use the Find function to search for conditional text with just this condition.

• Text inserts, and conditional text settings

  I intend to use a FM as a medallion of text file that describes the options for common command-line for Windows and Linux (in a single table, to make easier future editing). As for the opening of the script syntax is different for each operating system, it is possible to configure the conditional text in the text box, but have different options to show/hide for chapters of Windows and Linux, while leaving the text box to show all the?

  Yes.

  Be sure to use the same names of condition in the Medallion in the file text file including. I don't know, but I don't think, you must define the conditions in the file of the Insert to show all this; I think that the file settings including override those in the file of the Insert. But it won't hurt to let as all show.

• Try to retrieve the contents of a text field and use it in a conditional statement

  Hello world

  I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo" and the button is called "genOrder".

  Initially, the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text with an appropriate order number field.

  I have need to check the text field for the data (content) before you write the order number, in this way, if an order number is already present in the text field, it will be over written.

  My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the tests, but I do not know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if the content is present!).

  If anyone can suggest how I can go about extracting the contents of a text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  DAVO

  currentOrderNo = this.getField("orderNo").value;

  If ("currentOrderNo == null | currentOrderNo ==" ") {}

  the field is empty, fill it with a new value

  } else {}

  the field is not empty, something else

  }

• I'm doing a script that takes a list of e-mail from a text file and then allow me to select a save as a string. I found some ways to get the path of the file, but I'm in check by pulling the list

  I found some ways to get the path of the file, but I am defeated by pulling the list from that. the function of the path get gives me the path as "Macintosh Users:: Documents: extractedb.txt (myUsername).

  What I can't understand is how to get a dialog box to display a list that represents the content in the text file, I need to change the contents of the text file, I need the box to show me what I chose and I want to save my selection as a single string.
  e '.

  example of extractedb.txt information:

  [email protected]

  [email protected]

  * has a random number of emails as well *.

  I want this is to pull those emails from the text file and turn them into a list so I can get to be a selection in my dialog box.

  Any help would be great = D

  Assuming you have a text file with your example e-mail addresses, the following AppleScript will read this file in a list (mf_List) and then use this list as input to choose among the list. Because multiple selection is allowed (control button), the output is sent to a list (sel_addr). We check if the Cancel button was pressed by testing for false and if this condition is met, we the script error.  Based on a single or multiple list item content of the list, display accordingly.

  game of mf to ((path to the folder as text) & "mail_list.txt")

  the value mf_List to {}

  the value sel_addr to {}

  the value mf_List to paragraphs of (read file mf)

  the value sel_addr to (choose from the list mf_List with title ¬

  ('Mail list' with multiple selections allowed without empty selection allowed)

  If sel_addr is equal to false then

  Error number-128

  return

  end if

  If length of sel_addr is equal to 1 then

  sel_addr display dialog box as text

• conditional text find/replace problem

  Hello!

  For a few hours, I'm trying to solve this case: I want to apply conditions (conditional text) to all paragraphs according to the name of the applied style. So, for example, text with paragraph called "BODY" style should have "BODY" of the conditional text etc. I figured out mechanism, but I can't solve the problem with passing to find/replace.

  Here is my code:

  (function() {
      if (app.documents.length > 0) {
          processDocument(app.documents[0]);
      }
      function processDocument(aDoc) {
          var paraStyles = aDoc.allParagraphStyles.sort();
          for (var j = 0; paraStyles.length > j; j++) {
              var currentStyle = paraStyles[j].name;
              if(aDoc.conditions.item (currentStyle) == null){
                  var varConditions = aDoc.conditions.add({name: currentStyle});
              }
              doFindChange(currentStyle);
          }
      }
  }())
  function doFindChange(currentStyle) {
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
      
      app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = currentStyle;
      app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedConditions = currentStyle;
      
      app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
  }
  

  I know what's wrong, but I have no idea how to change.

  Could someone help me?

  Thanks in advance!

  You have some problems in the code:

  1 move the actual paragraph style (and not just its name) to findGrepPreferences (your variable, currentStyle is a string, although this can work, it is better [especially for paragraph in the groups styles] to adopt the paragraph style real itself).

  2. Ditto for the appliedCondition: give changeGrepPreferences the condition itself, not just its name.

  3. it seems that changeGrepPreferences.appliedConditions expects a range of disorders, then give him a table even if it has only one member.

• InDesign: Conditional text

• 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.
