FrameMaker composition against Word layout

I use FrameMaker 12.0 with Adobe Jenson font family. I'm moving a pure fantasy novel of the word to FrameMaker. Currently, the layout in word seems tighter than on the FM band. Please, look at these two pictures:

word_typesetting.png

This is the same text in FrameMaker:

FM_Typesetting.png

While the FM does a better job spacing the first line, it seems to me that the Word does a better job for the following two lines. In particular, Word manages to keep the text on 3 lines where necessary FM 4. In addition, the 'fat' in the passage of the author of this text in Word appears bolder on the FM band.

Because of these differences, the first chapter of the novel requires a page more FM in word...

Guidance on how to control, improve the composition in FM?

Thank you

Try to clear the settings you have made:

Tab font:

The value of stretching back to 100% (it is actually distorting the individual letter shapes)

Activate the Kern pair

Advanced tab:

Disable automatic spacing "allow."

Define the optimal spacing to 100%

Give you some more flexibility in the word spacing: Min 60-65%; Max: 115-125%

The "CreateSpace" joboption is a custom, so you must make sure that the font options specify that all fonts are to be shipped and to 'Cancel' if incorporation fails.

  • HP 7520 print Photos

    Whenever I buy HP7520 ink cartridges, I received a pack of paper picture 5 x 7 & envelopes.

    What are the steps to print using these maps?

    I would like to print text on these cards as well.  Is it possible to configure the printer to print a document?

    FARWELL,

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    You can use the 5 X 7 Photo paper to print photos OR print documents small - or a mixed picture and document output (text).

    • The following example assumes that you have access to Office Word.  The example uses Word 2010.  You can use any Word as similar application to create your document.
    • The actual configuration for the printer and the paper can be used independently of the application that allows you to provide the actual document / picture for output.

    ============================================================================

    • Remove any paper you have in the background, the main tray in the printer 7520.
    • The top photo tray can be removed; simply lift upward and out of the way.  Put it somewhere safe.
    • Replace the regular printing paper with your Photo 5 X 7 HP - place photo paper so paper the side on which the photo or the text will be printed is 'down', that is, against the bottom of the bin.
    • Along the left side of the main tray, find a quite difficult to move the scroll bar.  If you place your hand upward and inside the status bar, a little, there is a Gash along the bar that can you help drag you the bar to the right, so you can move the bar tight but not too tight against the paper 5 X 7.  Do not force the slider bar, he's stubborn, but it moves with a little effort and slight pressure.
    • Replace the tray photo albums in its correct location above the main tray.
    • Close the door before tiny for the main tray.

    What follows assumes you have your options set up Word Ribbon / visible.

    Open Word > layout > size 5 X 7

    Next... Margins > moderate

    Next... Home > select your text, text size > enter your text

    Next... Insert pictures, Images, Clip-Art

    Next... Save your file / work

    Next... File > print > printer properties >

    Under paper / quality >

    Paper source > main tray

    > 5 X 7 in. paper size.

    Media > HP Premium Plus Photo papers (or any photo paper is appropriate for your configuration)

    Ok

    Click PRINT

  • The pages "contact customer support" turn in circles

    Hello

    My company is about to buy FrameMaker 12, and I would just get a comparison of plans and their price, as what is shown on this page for Acrobat: Plans and prices | Adobe Acrobat DC. I would like to see the same Info for FrameMaker 12, but I can't.

    I started on the page contact customer support, who first asked me to choose a product (FrameMaker). It loaded a page where I select the issue I want to discuss. I clicked on "decide what to buy." Who loads the page 'Upgrade Guide', which describes the features available in the past several versions of FrameMaker (including version 12), but does not list any prices.

    So I went back to previous page click on blue "Still need help?" button at the bottom of the page, and she did not on the first page (Customer Contact)! I went around once again, found myself at the beginning, and I realized that it would take just me and around in circles.

    There is also a page that describes what kind of support is available for the Support of basic and Premium. This page shows that I can use the chat feature, but I was not able to access the talk page. There is no link to discuss on pages around the 'circle '. The only thing that has been suggested is that I asked about this on the forums. So here I am. I'm sorry, is not a technical question, but I don't know where to look next. Could someone please direct either me: (1) a page that compares the cost per license for the purchase of FrameMaker 12 against a monthly subscription, or (2) how I can access the chat for the customer support function for I can ask here?

    Thank you

    Joyce Wermont

    First of all, note that this is a user forum and no official Adobe

    the customer service. Someone else will have to help you with questions

    about the Adobe customer service for access to the.

    Two basic for FrameMaker 12 purchase options are:

    Perpetual license:

    Full version $ 999

    $399 from the previous version update

    (Upgrades are usually released every 18 months - so ~ $ 266 / year maximum)

    If you buy each upgrade)

    Subscriptions:

    $ 29.99/month or ~ $360 / year

    (Although billed monthly, contracts are annual.)

    In my view, there is also a model of volume license, but I'm

    not familiar with it. Someone else will have to speak to prices and

    differences.

    The version of FrameMaker perpetual license allows you to install both a

    desktop and laptop computer. You just are not allowed to use both

    once. I guess the same is true for the version of the subscription.

    Personally, I will never go with a subscription model. No matter how

    for a long time, you subscribe, once you stop paying, the software stops working.

    and it won't matter how many hundreds or thousands you spent to use

    previously. Your files will probably not usable by other programs, so

    they will become unnecessary.

    Perpetual license for FM version will work as long as you have a

    computer and operating system that can make it work. If additional, your

    company never stops using FM, a perpetual license is an asset which can

    increase the price of sale of the company or may be sold separately. A

    subscription, on the other hand, is a responsibility that could reduce the price.

    If you buy upgrades for the perpetual license, you are allowed to keep

    older versions installed on the same computer. If you have added

    advantage of being able to work with customers who have older versions

    FrameMaker and need their files to be completely compatible without

    through additional steps to do so. I don't know if it's the same for

    the version of the subscription.

    For me, there's really only one reason to consider a subscription model

    and that of if the company cannot afford to buy FrameMaker or optional

    future updates pure and simple.

    In addition, Adobe really prefers to sell the subscription license

    because it makes them a lot more money. I noticed that it's him

    FrameMaker product home page immediately purchasing options

    for subscriptions, but who can take the perpetual license options

    almost a minute is displayed on the screen!

  • Node.getSize ()?

    Hi all

    My Q is very simple...

    How do I get the size (width / height) to a node?

    I expect that there are: MyNode.getWidth () and MyNode.getHeight ()...
    But they does NOT exist... or equivalent methods.

    It's really ubnormal?

    Thanks for any help...

    The things that extend from region (for example, page layouts and controls) have width and height properties, so you can just do:

    label.getWidth();
    

    The nodes have different types of limits =>
    http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/scene/node.html#layoutBoundsProperty%28%29
    http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/scene/node.html#boundsInLocalProperty%28%29
    http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/scene/node.html#boundsInParentProperty%28%29

    A simple program to illustrate that do this:
    https://gist.github.com/1441960

    In my words:
    -Layout limits: the boundary of the shape.
    -Delimits local: the boundary of the shape and the effect.
    -Limits of Parent: the boundary of the shape, the effects and transformations.

    Once you have the appropriate limits, you can query its width, height and depth.

    For example:

    node.getBoundsInParent().getWidth()
    

    Note that if the node contains something resizable or css stylesheet, you really won't get a proper report to the limits until it was posted on a scene active and a pulse was performed on this subject. Thus, for example, the declared value for boundaries immediately after creating the node may differ from the value declared after that (scene) stage.show has been called. To always be informed of what is the height or width of a node, add a listener to the property of the appropriate limits, for example:

    final DoubleProperty nodeWidth = new SimpleDoubleProperty(node.getWidth());
    node.boundsInParentProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
      @Override public void changed(ObservableValue ov, Bounds oldBounds, Bounds newBounds) {
        nodeWidth.set(newBounds.getWidth());
      }
    });
    

    Aspects of layout and controls have a property of convenience for this already, so you can do things like:

    label.widthProperty().bind(scene.widthProperty());
    

    Then there are things that calculates the preferred, minimum and maximum amounts for the nodes based on a given width or height. For nodes in constant sizes, these will always return the same value for resizable nodes, they can return different values. These should be used when in the subclassed layoutChildren call you create your own composite nodes (i.e. not so often and never if you are a beginner to write JavaFX programs).

    node.minWidth(height)  // minimum width for a given height.
    node.prefWidth(height)
    node.maxWidth(height)
    

    Finally resizable nodes that extend the region as part of layout and controls have the following properties, which you will likely finish by using a little:

    region.minWidthProperty()
    region.prefWidthProperty()
    region.maxWidthProperty()  
    

    For example region.getMaxWidth will return either
    -Region.USE_PREF_SIZE-online maximum width will be the same as the default width.
    -Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE-online maximum width will be of what is implemented in the default region.
    -Some absolute value-online the maximum width will be all that a caller has chosen via region.setMaxWidth (value) call.
    -Double.MAX_VALUE-online unlimited maximum width.

    A good layout strategy is not to worry about sizes much at all, instead use resizable controls inside layout managers and set a default size of resizable controls only when you need to.

  • Effectively create a Cube in

    I did quickly (quickly enough anyway) to get closer to the effect that I do. I would like to have the cube to roll in three words separately. There must be an easier way than to try to align the layers 3D space manually and use a null value to the to turn it in. Not to mention that shadow catch layer a little gets in the way too...

    You know the plug-ins that make this effect or tutorials on the creation of it?

    Lineing layers is a piece of cake. Compensates for the anchor point of your 6 z for all values match. IOW, if your solid is 400 X 400, then the anchor point will be 200, 200, 0. Just change that to 200, 200, 200, then rotate the solid one at a time, 90 and 180 x 90, 180, 270 in Y and you have a perfect cube. Now add your null.

  • Conversion of PDF to Excel and keep formatting

    I'm trying to convert a PDF file to an Excel file.

    I have just run the free trial of Adobe Acrobat X Pro (version 10.1.3) and opened a newly created PDF file.

    I clicked on the following: file > save as > spreadsheet > Spreadsheet XML 2003 (having Office 2003).

    When I opened the new XML file, the main topics appear horizontally across the worksheet. All the amounts mentioned appear vertically in column A. We want the dollar amounts to appear in the corresponding topics. How to preserve the formatting of the PDF?

    It seems that if I will not be able to easily convert a PDF to a file using Adobe Acrobat X Pro Excel as advertised. Is this true?

    Not true.

    The question isn't Acrobat.

    It is rather the PDF file (how content source has been mastered and created the PDF file).

    Use an application with tag good management.

    Examples: FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word (with PDFMaker of Acrobat), MS Word 2010 (usng MS save as PDF - XPS, PDF accessible & making use of the user interface that promotes accessible PDF creation).

    None are 100% (yet) for all aspects of a power of a PDF containing the well-trained tag. However, they are (currently) "best-of-breed".

    In the file creation you would control a good table. Table header Row (s) must be correctly identified.

    PDF output with label Table element must be properly post-processed with Acrobat (row Span value, the Scope attribute checked attribute header cells and, possibly, attribute Headers with the ID associated with the value).

    With appropriate content mastering (of the particular table), management of tags and the post-processing array element, you'd have a PDF properly 'tagged '.

    The contents of the table in the PDF containing the tag correctly labeled, can be exported to Excel with pretty cool results.

    Well controlled in the file creating a table that is part of a non-tagged PDF file can be exported to Excel with fairly good results most of the time.

    It's all in how content is controlled:

    Example (one extreme, but it expresses the point):

    Use of the space bar and Tab can give the appearance of a 'table' in Word or Notepad.

    As with so much "perception" is not reality.

    This content is simply "body text" tricked out to look like a table.

    In the PDF file that content is "body text" and no correlation with tabular data.

    There are a range of OMG yuck on Spot On.

    What lands in Excel will reflect where the controlled content falls within this spectrum.

    Variables are which was used to create the PDF file, which has been used for tags management (if any), how the content is placed in the file to create.

    PDF files that are "worse" are often those that are created by programming via a server application.

    What PDFLibrary is in use (they are not all equal) and how it is used.

    Be well...

  • Can you have bookmarks in a document of fm and other beginner questions?

    Hello

    I just took an assessment of Framemaker to accelerate the generation of pdf and html, as I currently

    Use a single source tool developed in-house.  I used latest Framemaker when it was version 6 and I

    a few questions about things I would like to be able to do:

    Can I view the bookmarks in a document, standard framemaker, like in Word? I find that this makes it easier to

    navigate around the documentation, or is there a better way? I don't know their definition in the PDF file, this

    is for me as the author...

    I got just the Autonumbering once again kick, but have not found out/understood how to keep my legends of the figures

    with the images that I imported a framework anchored, if any help you can give me would be appreciated

    with that.

    Output PDF is great and the speed of the savings is ideal even for large documents. Is there a real advantage

    have a lot of several chapters in a book, rather than a long document? My longer document is of approximately

    280 pages and consists of four sections, with Appendix, glossary, index and table of contents.

    Output HTML seems to be as bad a I remembered 6 years when I used Webworks Publisher to

    perform the conversion. RoboHelp is a good alternative I organized an assessment from next week

    so have not had the chance to look at this yet, but would be interested in what people think.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Hi, Karen:

    In FrameMaker documents, you can navigate to something that will become a link in a PDF document to its source, with a "hyperclick" on the page entries table of contents and indexes in the generated files and references or hyperlinks not generated documents. A hyperclick is Ctrl + Alt + click. There is no click back. You can lock the FrameMaker documents to make these active links with a single click and use the dos commands and others on the Navigation menu that appears when a locked document is active.

    To lock or unlock a document for the type of hypertext navigation and release these keys in order: F Escape (must be uppercase) l (lowercase ' el' not important 'eye' or number one) k (must be lowercase). I remember as "(F) Island (l) oc (k).»

    Google search for words like 'Lock of FrameMaker for hypertext Documents' and "FrameMaker navigation Menu" without the quotes, for more information on these techniques.

    Also, you can use the dialog box insert reference allows to browse some sort of plan file, by selecting a paragraph format such as a cap, on the left and scroll through these paragraphs on the right. Page numbers, you can see the list below indicate the first and last page of the paragraphs in the list above. It's a little inaccurate, but useful.

    You can also generate table of contents or index or list of external cross-references (special > list of > references > external cross references), and then close window of the file generated to fit in the workspace to the sides of the active document. Hyperclick in the generated files, or lock files and a simple click on an entry, to navigate to the location linked in any other file is advanced to.

    HTH

    Kind regards
