• 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

  I'm using conditional text, and has highlighted a large number of things. I intend to remove the highlight but seem to be rather deleted all the text which has been replaced by red arrows. I saved the document without noticing. Can we retrieve the text? How did I lose red arrows?

• Any shortcut? -to apply a particular conditional text

  Hello

  Is there the 'shortcut' keyboard keys I can push to apply a specific condition in the text that I score? -It's too heavy to click with the "arrow/mouse" every time I have to mark the text to be conditioned.

  If it is not is it easy for Adobe to make this option to access specific conditional text?  -I see the different colours next to each conditional text but y at - it a way I can give a shortcut to each that related to different colours? IM thinking to push the buttons of the keyboard as Ctrl + y etc.

  I'd appreciate the help.

  Use quick apply. Press Cmd/Ctrl-return. The dialog box apply Quick will pop up. Then start typing the name of the condition to you. You can apply conditions like that with just a few keystrokes. It totally ignores the arrow/mouse.

• 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.

• 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?

  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...

• Conditional text in the output for the Responsive HTML5 file structure

  I am looking at transforming our old help .chm help Responsive HTML5. I'm looking blog a William van Weelden on the subject (fusion Multiscreen HTML5 help). I hope it applies to sensitive HTML5 as well.

  My question is about the structure of output folder. Its structure looks like this:

  

  

  My application is available in two modes (Mode A and B of the Mode for example). Therefore, I have conditional text in sections Mode A and Mode B. should create folders of output under each child for each mode project? If so, do I have to create them in each folder profile screen so (so far, I don't know what profile I need other than the desktop).

  I use RoboHelp 11.0.4.291.

  Reactive help works different from Multiscreen (it's easy!). See: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2014/03/18/adobe-robohelp-merging-responsive-html5-help

  With the help of reagents, you have only 1jeu of content for all devices. If you want 2 different CBT applied, you will need to create two outputs.

• 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.

• sort by alphabetical order of conditional text tags

  Is it possible to reorder tags within the pod of conditional text so that they are in alphabetical order?

  Assuming that they are presented in the same order as they appear in the data structures, it should be possible to save the document with MIF and reorganize all the

  # end of Condition

  Tags inside

  # end of ConditionCatalog

  then re - save the MIF, open and re - save as. FM.

• 2014 CC Dreamweaver takes conditional text? Specifically, I can put all my tech in a location data and the output of the subsets of data (doc Admin against doc user versus doc Marketing) based on tags or other methods?

  CC of Dreamweaver takes conditional text? Specifically, can I put all of my tech data in a doc of DW and the output of the subsets of data (doc Admin against doc user versus doc Marketing) based on tags or other methods?

  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.

• Additional page created through conditional text won't go away

  I created a page with conditional text in Framemaker 11.  Whenever I have my terms, a blank page is created.  This page doesn't go away when I save or update the file.
  It gets deleted only if I delete the extra page.  Could be the cause of this page to stick around?

  This weekend I sent my problem Arnis file to look at.  Here is his answer:

  Arnis Gubins wrote:

  The reason why the extra page appeared when the Conditions have been used was due to having the text block high set to autologin as well as using the position of frame anchored to the "Below the line" for the two graphics of the logo. The text block is too small to hold the two graphs at once, so with the activated automatic connection, FM creates another copy of this block of text on a new page to hold the other graphic of the logo. When you enable or change conditions, FM must all show and then hide the (s) appropriate, he would always add this block of additional text on the new page to display two graphs (because that's what autoconnect).

  There are remedies.

  1. simply disable the automatic connection setting.

  2. place the graphics of the logo using the parameter "outside the text" for the had. This allows you to overlay the graphs one atop the other as you would not trigger a "automatic formatting" to create a new text frame, if the two should be made.

  3. you could also do both, to be sure that a new page is not triggered.

  Disable the automatic connection setting not fix the issue of the extra page being created and not removed.  I need a little more work to do on moving the frame and keep my layout the same.

  Thanks for all the help Arnis Gubins

• Strange behavior hide conditional text

  We use FrameMaker (informal) 12 on Windows 7 (64-bit) platform.

  I have a strong frame and paragraphs which together form a conditional text block:

  Graph of the small icon in an anchored frame aligned to the left margin.

  Paragraph of body text (this text revolves around the image of the small icon)

  Paragraph of body text (this text is less than the image of the small icon, aligned to the left margin)

  1 list Num 1 paragraph (aligned against the left margin)

  2. the list Num + paragraph (aligned against the left margin)

  3 list Num + paragraph (aligned against the left margin)

  I block everything described above and apply a conditional tag.

  When I hide conditional text, 100% conditional text disappears, except:

  • '1.' which is part of the AutoNumber format for paragraph LLA list Num 1. (The text of the paragraph list Num 1 disappears as it should.)
  • The anchor point for the small icon embedded chart frame.

  '1.' and the anchor seem to be glued to each other, when I try to hide conditional text. (They separated by two paragraphs of body text before hiding conditional text).

  Anyone has any ideas on what's going on?

  Thanks in advance,

  
  Tim

  Make sure you have your list of text symbols and select the end of the paragraph under the condition mark of all. You probbly it missed for the last item ListNum, so when you set it to hide he returned to 1.

  See this thread for a similar problem: hide conditionalized text causes listed above show the additional list item

• Conditional text in Table - problems with setting the line height

  Hey there,

  I'm German, but I try to express my problem in English as I can. Not always easy with different menu names. Hope you get what I mean! :-)

  As you can see in my attached screenshot, I placed the text in a table.

  Text height is set: minimum 1.5... so it adapts to the amount of text.

  That's what I want - it should adjust the height of the conditional text marked/s.

  It always adjusts the height when I blind on the first line lines oder between (for example line 2 + 3 4).

  But if I want to blind on the last lines, there is a number at the end and an extra empty line with #.

  I know the # means hidden following text, but why it works with the red/green text.

  There are also some hidden text (green), but the brand # is just after the last word - not in a new line.

  Does anyone have a solution for this?

  Thanks in advance!

  

  So far, it's ok. A sign of the end of a text paragraph forces a new line.

  To change, do the following:

  For each condition, you need another condition for the paragraph sign that comes immediately after the condition. Not after each paragraph of a condition, but at the end of each consecutive numbers of the paragraphs of the same condition.

  So in your third example you will need more of two conditions:

  1. one for the paragraph at the end of the condition «meaasurements» sign

  2. one for the sign of paragraph at the end of the condition 'price 2 '.

  Whenever you perform other invisible conditions, you must also disable the new conditions that sign a single control paragraph.

  See the following screenshots:

• Conditional text sync

  Hello

  We are a translation company that translated enormous Indesign books with many tables (and numbers). To make sure that no errors are made in the figures, I have implemented a process where we create a new condition for all numbers in the document and then hide the condition.

  It is possible to open all the files in a book by using a script. I then create the condition in a single file in the book and using search & replace in all the Documents, I am able to apply the condition of all the documents in the book. I can also use the options "Synchronize book" to set the condition to the invisible on all documents in the book.

  If all this works perfectly.

  However, when we need to finish the files, I need to remove the condition of all the documents in the book. If I remove the condition in the style source document and then synchronize, the condition is not deleted in the other documents in the book? I can use find & replace to replace our back to the "unconditional" condition, but the condition remains in the list of conditional text, and we want that he went.

  Is it possible to delete a condition for all open documents, or all documents in a book? For the moment, we need to go through all the documents and to remove the condition of each.

  (that we translate books with 20 + documents in 25 languages, is 25 20 + time to click, which is a bit tedious )

  Kind regards

  Geert

  I think you need to generate scripts too.

  It does not disappear when you synchronize because that's the way it is supposed to work. You add missing components, Redefine even those appointed and let alone anything not defined in the source.
