Possible to use FrameMaker structured as an XML editor?

This may sound strange, but I need an XML editor and I have 9 FM. I was wondering if I can use FM structured as my editor and if so, how to configure that?

I don't have much experience with or any of the foregoing. I am familiar with IDEs and source code control.

It is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. FrameMaker is essentially an application of PAO and a good choice if you need output PDF high quality as well as XML. But what if all you want is an XML Editor, you'd be better off with an XML Editor :-)

  • Definition of formatting of files FrameMaker structured which will appear in RoboHelp

    I used FrameMaker structured for years, but now, we are trying to go for creating structured (to facilitate reuse of content). I just went through the tutorial in part 1 of "Developing structured applications with Adobe FrameMaker 9," which indicates how set the formatting in ESD. When you set the formatting in this way, it seems that all the paragraphs in the framework are marked as 'Body' and the formatting is derived from ESD.

    Also, I went through the exercise of mapping the styles of the Frame to the elements in our CSS RoboHelp and publication of a book of frame in HR. My hypothesis is that if I put our definitions of formatting in the EDD, I can't map styles to the CSS of HR. Is this true? If not, what missing am me? Or if yes, can someone tell me how to set tags to paragraph traditional framework for use with ESD?

    Thank you!

    Melanie

    Melanie,

    inside all of the text formatting rules, you can simply enter a paragraph format name to use instead of provide the local formatting. It should be obvious looking at the catalogue of the element during the edition of ESD.

  • Error when loading an XML document using a structured application

    Hello

    I try to load an XML document using a structured application defined in the default structapps.fm

    My code is shown, extracted from the sample code API FDK.

    Problem, I still got the same message:

    "Cannot find the file named e:\xml\AdobeFrameMaker10\file. Make sure that the file exists. "

    Where "e:\xml\AdobeFrameMaker10\" is my installation directory.

    So I guess that govern trying to find the structapps.fm file but can't find it.

    What else can we?

    Does anyone known how elements achieve this simple task using extendScript?

    Thanks for all comments, Pierre

    var retParm = new PropVals()

    var fileObj = Open (filename, params, retParm);

    return fileObj

    } else {}

    }

    }

    Stone,

    According to the "myLastFile" object, the method openDlg may not yet exist (if the myLastFile object is not an object file, for example). And I do not see the myLastFile be necessary anyway, you present a dialog box to select a file to open. I recommend to use the global method of ChooseFile () instead. This will give you a file name as string in the notation of full path, or null if no file has been selected in the dialog box. I'm not sure of what your States of the return value for ChooseFile ExtendScript documentation, but if that differs from what I tell you here, won't the documentation. For example, if you change the first lines of your code by the following it should work:

    function () {} openXMLFile

    var filename = ChooseFile ('choose XML file... ("," ","*.xml", Constants.FV_ChooseSelect);

    While writing this, I see that Russ already gave you the same advice. Use the value of symbolic constant, I stated to use the ChooseFile dialog box to select a single file (it can also be used to select a directory or open a file - but you want control you the logon process). Note that this method allows you to define a directory for the dialog (second parameter). The ESTK autocompletion also gives you a fifth parameter "helplink" who is undocumented and may be ignored.

    Good luck

  • I have 12 FrameMaker files can I use FrameMaker 2015 to generate a PDF of older file?

    I have files created in FrameMaker 12.

    Can I use FrameMaker 2015 version to open the files and generate a PDF file?

    I get error when I try to do.

    I just want to know if it is possible or not.

    Thank you

    Alice

    Yes, it should be possible. What kind of error do you get?

    Open all files and save them as FM2015 versions first. If you have a book file, open all the files of the components before trying to create a PDF file. [Use the Shift key the shortcut in the file menu for the book to open all the files at once.]

  • Is it possible to read the contents of the XML file rather than the properties for the location of FLEX

    Is it possible to read the contents of the XML file rather than the properties for the location of FLEX

    Strictly speaking, this is not really true. When running, the ResourceManager of IResourceBundles for localization, not deal with XML files or properties files. As long as you implement IResourceBundle, you can back it up with XML, properties, JSON, AMF files - what you want. The problem is that mxmlc will not build modules of resources for you what it is, with the exception of properties files, and cannot compile just resource bundles in a .swf using anything other than properties files. If you build your own interface to spit IResourceBundles, this could work, but it is probably more trouble that it's worth.

    (Assuming that you establish the link in the application) the best solution is to write a script to pre-process the XML in properties files.

  • Is it possible to use versions of file on a time capsule airport

    Hello

    I know that it is possible to use versions of file on the SSD and iCloud drive for example for numbers by going back to the old versions.

    When I use a NAS functionality is not usable with a Synology for example.

    Is it possible to use the versions of the files with the files saved on a Time Capsule?

    BR

    Excellent question.

    I just tried it... to see what is happening.

    I was able to come back as long as the document is open... but I got the warning below as soon as I close the document.

    Of course that stores the file directly to the CT... I have not test what will happen if you save the file to the virtual disk... that might work... and could run even on the synology. A virtual disk is very different to directly save your files.

    See Q3 here on establishing a dmg which you can also do it on the synology.

  • Is it possible to use "recently closed" tabs in the new firefox without a mouse?

    In the old firefox, you had the option of clicking ONCE in the upper left corner and then using the arrow keys to navigate the menu of recently closed tabs, extremely fast and go to the tab you want. Now you klick three times, and you have to search the history button because there is no list more, and there is no possibility of using the arrow keys. Is it possible to use the arrow keys on the keyboard as before or is there anyway of downgrading my version to the old version of firefox?
