Help with workflow

Hello

First of all, I'm sorry, but my English is very poor.

Well, I worked with FM for a year, I dialed up to 10 catalogs and manuals.

I am the designer, but we are four people working on it.

Now, the workflow is:

-Developers write text in Word.

-J' I generate images from a 3D CAD program

-J' wrote catalogues

-Translator write the German version to the word

-J' have the translation into German of FM

-Translator and developer to revise the text

-J' I make corrections and generating the final PDF

In fact, I copy and paste any word text paragraph by paragraph and copy and paste all the tables from excellent to the FM have to reformat all later to FM.

My question is how can we optimice the workflow?

How the can FM server for me?

Is there a compatible software like InCopy for InDesign where developers could write and edit text?

XML is the solution to all my problems?

Help for a beginner, please.

Thank you

Raul,

If your writers used the word "properly" with style (character and paragraph) tags and no formatting overrides, then import documents Word in FM would work more efficiently than copy & paste the individual paragraphs. If you use a template corresponding to named styles Word FM, then get most of the formatting applied correctly is also a given.

You can take a look at this article for some tips on using the FM & Word:

See also the article by Tim Murray to the: http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/public/word2frame.pdf

Several translation agencies can work with FM files and gives you a set of documents work FM, then this would not have at disposal the publication again another Word document.

  • Need help with workflow to criticize the images of the student

    We used Lightroom CC to criticize images students workshop by import of each card and then work in the develop Module to try different culture, exhibition, etc. Process import/copy files got the largest, became too long for each card. We want to use the Add option, but of course, it is not available when importing from a card SD/CF.

    I need in the catalog previews pretty long to select a half dozen with them to review/edit. The changes are mainly to show how they can adjust their framing and exposure in the future, don't not to teach fitting, so they published versions have no special value.

    I'd rather leave the files on student cards, create standard previews when importing and only create previews of 1:1 on the fly for the images that we edit in fact, usually 5-6 of each session. While criticizing us, then eject and pop in the next map, I leave the card in the reader (USB 3.0).

    They shoot in RAW and would not lose quality by switching to a compressed format or JPG format. Some could be prepared to shoot RAW + JPG for the workshop and simply import the jpg to criticize, but that presents them with a problem of management of file and possibly lowered an image quality for mounting piece.

    Any suggestions? I would like to stay with LR to do this, at least there is no good option in LR, because I also teach LR in the workshop, but would consider another tool or add-in, if it was the best option.

    Thank you very much for Maine.

    This is not an option with LR. For any image to display in LR and any changes that will be her the leader/s must be copied to a physical HARD drive that is connected to the system. Memory cards are not treated as physical disks and I don't know anyway to change this in LR

    I suggest that you try Adobe Bridge and then use ACR directly from bridge to make your editing. All functions in ACR are the same as in the module development of LR and you won't have to copy the images to the hard drive first, push as far as I know. I just tested that and it seems to work fine, except that no sidecard the XMP files are created on the memory card. If the changes could only be stored in the cache ACR system and all changes are lost once the card is ejected.

  • Need help with problems of performance with 14 elements

    I scanned the forums and provided below to help with feedback. At this point, the organizer of the elements is unusable for me - I'm looking for suggestions to help refine the installer to make it usable.

    MY SETUP

    • Just more than 50000 items in the catalog, about 95% of them are photos, videos of rest. 98% of the source files are on a drive to the server in my house, with a gigabit connection.
    • I left full recognition of faces (took two days!) and Yes, during that who was running the organizer was unusable.
    • My PC is an i7 - 4790 k with 16 GB of RAM. Windows Pro 10. Boot drive is SSD.

    THE SCENARIO

    I have a new series of images on my C drive local - images that I scanned, about 30 pictures. Using the view of the pane left records that I navigate to the folder on my C drive. If I move to the tab places it takes about 25 seconds to react and make enforcement appear the places page. If I then go to the people tab it takes about 75 seconds, for the application to respond. In both cases, the application is completely insensitive during the wait.

    Clearly, I can't clean my collection with this kind of response. So here are my questions:

    1. What are the key strategies to improve performance, given my configuration?
    2. Have I not too many objects in the catalog? Should I aim lower number? I saw that there is no actual limit but I feel Im beyond a theoretical limit of messages.
    3. Broken content is to catalog help with questions like this? Is there another internal setting, I should be updated or change?
    4. Given the number of images should I use Lightroom instead?

    The only change that I'm not going to do is to move all the content of my return to my local drive. Sound on the server so that it is completely backed up and protected. So I'm looking for ideas that help given this configuration.

    Thanks to everyone for their help.

    Mark,

    I can't offer a positive solution to your problem, but I hope to give you some answers or thoughts on this subject.

    Let's start with the description of your case: it's a perfect description of what has been reported in several positions:

    -powerful Installer (computer, SSD)

    -l' use of the recognition of people and/or geolocation

    -use of a NAS for the library.

    -Library of more than 50,000 points.

    -very long indexing, then extremely slow.

    I do not use a SSD (will probably later) or a NAS (I never do). I 65 000 objects and don't care about recognition of face or geolocation, which explains that with a basic setup on I3, 8 GB of RAM, I have an organizing extremely fast speed. Even on an old secondary computer with Vista, it is still quite manageable.

    Your choice is typical of advanced specialists and competent (I guess that less than 1% of the current user of items based). I have yet to see no answer (satisfactory or not...) Adobe staff.

    Given the number of images should I use Lightroom instead?

    I guess that's what Adobe could answer you... and that would be wise. You can use a trial version to make your choice and do a search on the forum for Lightroom. I have not seen similar, even if complaints with NASs, it seems to be a lot to say. Lightroom can convert your organizing catalogs (maybe some problems lately...)

    The only change that I'm not going to do is to move all the content of my return to my local drive. Sound on the server so that it is completely backed up and protected. So I'm looking for ideas that help given this configuration.

    If the use of the network is primarily to ensure maximum security (for not sharing images), why not would you use the choice to store your library on your computer (internal or external disk) with a sync to your NAS as a backup solution? I can tell you that my workflow includes Windows Synctoy to record each session easily and quickly (catalogs and libraries).

    Your very precise description of the case call to assess each factor of different performance individually. Even if the method above is not the final answer, it could shed light on the influence of the use of the network.

    1. Have I not too many objects in the catalog? Should I aim lower number? I saw that there is no actual limit but I feel Im beyond a theoretical limit of messages.
    2. Broken content is to catalog help with questions like this?

    Splitting the catalog is usually a very bad solution, a number of post seems to show that with the recognition of the people/geotagging, the problems around the range of 50,000 points. You can make a copy of the catalog and remove half of the files to check the influence of numbers point; Maybe it's possible with version 14 (deletion is extremely slow, but worked for me, even if it failed with older versions).

    Is there another internal setting, I should be updated or change?

    Sorry, I can't help you there...

    Other factors are using recognition Geotagging and people. Even if you absolutely need those features, disable to see their influence could help Adobe to solve performance issues.

  • Need help with the API Explorer

    Hi all

    I am creating a workflow to automate certain tasks of P2V and I want to disconnect the NETWORK adapter prior to anyting on virtual machines. When everything is done, I want reconnect you this NIC I play with vCO for a few months now and I need to get help with the part of the script. I always managed to find a code but this time I did not find anything!

    So I need to script this part! I think I found a way to change the connection settings of the VMXNET3 NETWORK adapter with this part of the code:

    System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec.config.device").getVirtualVmxnet3(backing,connectable,controllerKey,deviceInfo,key,unitNumber,addressType,macAddress,wakeOnLanEnabled)
    var connectset = new VcVirtualDeviceConnectInfo();
    connectset.connected = false;
    connectset.startConnected = false;
    

    Now, I need to find the way to set these parameters to a VM VMXNET3 adapter?

    How to off the virtual machine to these settings?

    Thanks for your help!

    If you are connected to a distributed switch, they canned for this com.vmware.library.vc.networking.connectVmNicNumberToVirtualDistributedPortgroup action.  If this isn't a vds connect you to, then you need to change then it will have to be slightly modified to use normal NIC instead of vds support.  You will also need to add these lines to the device configuration section:

    devicespec. Device.connectable = new VcVirtualDeviceConnectInfo();

    devicespec. Device.connectable.Connected = true;

    devicespec.device.connectable.startConnected = true;

    I copied this action and added these 3 lines to achieve what it looks like you are trying to do.  We don't really use standard switches in our environment.

  • Need help with work flow problem: a single e-mail notification non-stop.

    Hello

    We have created an approval Workflow custom PO based on the standard PO approval workflow and we had it for awhile now. Last week, we had a problem where the notification keeps on sending e-mail to suppliers and buyers. We discovered that the notification_id given in table WF_NOTIFICATIONS keeps having updated by the minute affecting the MAIL_STATUS Invalid then SENT back, then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that what is updated in this table is the cause, but so far we have not found what is updated. Here are a few of our instance.

    Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
    Database: 10.2.0.4 64bits
    OPERATING SYSTEM: AIX
    Custom workflow based on the 115.127.11510.16 review

    Customizations:
    -Created in custom notification that xx_email_po_pdf_supp based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    -Creation of custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    -Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    -Creating custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as an interpreter to the XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP notification.
    -Created the custom XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL function right after "Set Workflow start values of service." This function sets the #WFM_CC attribute and the XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.

    Not sure if the customizations have nothing to do with the question since not all POs have this problem. Anyone have this experience? Appreciate help with this.

  • How to get help with conversion ROCK on the export of PDF?

    How can I get help with the quality of the PDF documents converted to word format export.

    Not likely to have, you're doing a "happy dance" but a scanned image is "the ear of the sow" and (Yes, I'll say).

    You can't have a scholarship of silk in one ear of the sow.

    Make you a picture of the text content. You get a result of OCR of all that is recognized. The character by character recognition accuracy is generally quite good. But - No image/photo file actually holds information on format, layout, fonts, etc. - it's just a picture. Acrobat OCR makes some assumptions about all this.

    -You have a bunch of each of the characters being exported to Word. Individual characters, not paragraphs, sentences no, no words, no values "white space", etc.

    So you get an export that is a "best estimate" of the less desirable source. Sometimes, it isn't so bad. Sometimes it's just awful. In all cases, you will need to do some cleanup of the exported content that landed in the Word file.

    The alternative is to transcribe the hardcopy to the Word file.
    In fact it can often be higher as a workflow rather than the scanning-ocr-export-cleanup shuffle

    .

    For really nice export "spot - we ', you must start with a PDF file from an application of creation (not a scanned image) which is a well-formed tag PDF (for example ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1).
    The purpose of the tagged PDF document is not only Accessible PDF is also how PDF supports actively the re-use of content (for example, export).

  • Need help with Macbook

    Hello, I recently bought a Macbook from a friend and since I got the Mac it's very very slow at doing things like browsing the internet using Safari, it takes forever to load, web pages and all sorts of things that I'd like to get help with this problem maybe a few recommendations and also on how to speed up... If you need to care about Macbook, I can give these thx.

    To sell or transfer ownership of a Mac, even to a member of your family, you must follow these instructions. So far, you will have continuous problems.

    Refer to what to do before you sell or give away your Mac

    1. If you have enabled FileVault, disable it in system preferences > Security and privacy.
    2. "Remove" your iTunes account. Ditto for Audible if you have one.
    3. System Preferences > iCloud > deselect 'Back to My Mac' and 'find my Mac '.
    4. Disconnect from iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.

    Next: delete all of your personal information by erasing the internal storage of the Mac completely.

    1. If your Mac comes with a grey system installation DVD, start up your Mac with this disc in the optical drive, all holding the key c to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which must be erased before selling.
      • Apple stopped Macs shipment requiring these discs in August 2011.
    2. If your Mac does not comes with disks, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
      • using three fingers press on and hold the following keys: (command), optionand R.
      • With a fourth finger, press the power button to turn on the Mac.
      • Keep the other three fingers here where they are until you see the icon "spinning globe.
      • This method force the Mac to download BONES initially installed from Apple servers, that won't require not an Apple ID install.
    3. Remove any password Open Firmware, if you created a: select utility password firmware in the Utilities menu and remove.
    4. Select disk utility from the utilities menu.
    5. Delete all partitions that can be created.
    6. Select the icon for the hard drive to the Mac, and then select the tab "delete".
    7. Click on the 'Security Options' button and erase the drive.
      • More "robustly" you erase the disc, the longer it will.
      • The fastest method is sufficient, since all but the techniques more expensive and equipment will be able to recover data deleted safely.
    8. When he finishes, quit disk utility.
    9. In the utility menu, select Install Mac OS X .
      • An identifier Apple won't be necessary. If a prompt for an Apple ID, return to step 5.
      • Do not create user accounts.
    10. When he finishes, shut down the computer.
    11. If you want to install the bundled apps that have been included with your Mac, restart using your DVD Applications if it was included and install the bundled apps.
      • Apps, delivered with the new Macs sold without disks cannot be transferred. His new owner must buy them from the Mac App Store with its own Apple ID.

    If the Mac is sold to someone outside the family, consider the following additional information:

    1. System provided with your Mac installation DVD must stay with him forever and be included in the sale.
    2. Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, documents printed, same box if you have.
      • AppleCare remains with the equipment and can be transferred.
    3. Run an invoice indicating the serial number of the Mac.
    4. Once is no longer in your possession, remove the Mac of your devices in my support profile.

  • How to get help with Add ons and extensions that stop working

    I have saved passwords and it has stopped working. It's so hard to get help with Moxilla

    rosemarybales said

    I still don't know why the extension button passwords saved with the key icon has stopped working.

    This button displays the saved passwords in Firefox's built-in password manager, is no separate passwords that record you in Dashlane. Can you save passwords in both places? (Well, I guess you do.)

    I have a guess on why it has stopped working. Firefox 40 has some changes to how extensions can work with the user interface, so quite a few extensions that have been more than one year must be updated for Firefox 40. It has been updated on January 10, 2012.

    Anyway, the way of 'long' to display the passwords saved in Firefox is through the Options page, the Security Panel, the saved passwords button.

  • What is the correct way to ask for help with the forum, rather than product, questions?

    I can't find the right way to ask a question about the forums themselves.

    PAGulley said

    I can't find the right part of the forum to ask questions about the forum itself and its features. I wonder what the right place and the way is to get help with the forum system itself. I can find the place to ask questions about specific Mozilla products very well.

    Look up where it says contributor tools and select Contributor Forums. Make sure that you scroll to the top or you'll get a bar with different links instead,

    The forum is https://support.mozilla.org/forums where you question would be better in the SUMO community discussions.
