Tips for effective formatting of huge Documents?

I was instructed to convert several documents of 500 + pages of FrameMaker. The source material is a mishmash of Word, InDesign and Quark Xpress.

I created models without problem. But the conversion happens in about a third of the speed, that I waited because of the extraordinary amount of character formatting that this material requires.

I have copy and paste chapters in blank templates, stripping on all of the original formatting. I then perform two passes: a fast level styles for paragraph and one excruciating for character styles. Almost every sentence is a word or three requiring a character tag. I know that the keyboard shortcuts to apply character tags, but it's still real big.

Is it possible to automate some of this? I can find-and-replace for commonly used terms that have special formatting and reproduce the formatting for these terms in the document? When I was using FM for Mac, I use AppleScript to some of this.  Is there anything else I can do to be more effective?

Jim,

You can load (character and paragraph) formats in the Clipboard of FM using the special copy command. Then using the find/replace, you can specify the part of change to use "sticky". It will be worth the the Clipboard format to what you have in the search section.

    Hi Vivek,

    B2B will use payload in the body to identify the incoming document. If your customer must either send a happy (delimited) text/XML in the body (as well as any attachment he wants to send) in a predefined format that you can configure as identification criteria in the definition of document. That is why I will propose implement it to get confirmation with your partner and then the mutually agreed solution.

  • Numbers: Removal of multimedia content don't effect size of the document file.

    Hello people,

    right now I'm working on a very simple table in the Pages.

    I have reproduced a file already created by my colleague, because the page layout and all formulations must remain the same for the work that I do. The size of this document was large 1 GB (probably because there was a lot of images inside).

    But after you remove all of the content, the size is always that great! I don't have more than two empty tables with just a small amount of text inside! It's as if the media is not really gone! I also tried to reduce the size of my project with this feature, but all he said was: cannot reduce the size of the project, it is already optimal!

    So I tried to work around the problem and just copied and pasted my table to a new file. And then he gave me a 98 k file size!

    But I had to resize all my cells and everything, so this work around is not really effective and functional for me.

    I don't understand why the deletion of all media in my file doesn't effect size of my document. Am I missing something?

    I really need to create a large number of these documents and this is something that really bothers me.

    Can someone help me please. Is it possible to really get rid of multimedia content? as to delete the cache, or I don't know.

    Thanks a lot in advance for any kind of help!

    Pages v5.6.2. OS X 10.11.6.

    The key to changes in dynamic document is AutoSave must be activated, which happens only if the document is opened, edited and saved at least once in iCloud drive, or your home account on the boot drive.

    If the above were true, then your removal of images would have a corresponding reduction in the size of the document, as seen by the intermediary to read the information. I tested here with my own images, and the gradual reduction of size of the document is measurable with each image removed by the intermediary to read the information.

    One of the table cells still have images in their midst? Was it originally a Word document with embedded in Excel table data?

  • How to delete presets for effects to a clip?

    I am learning the use of the official document for help from Adobe first Elements 8.

    I currently work in Chapter 10, 'Application of effects', section 'Work with the effect presets'-> 'apply a preset of effects '.

    The help document does not say how to remove a preset effect you had applied.

    I tried to follow the instructions to remove the usual effects, but they don't seem to work in the case of the predefined settings.

    How can I remove presets for effects to a clip?

    Itay,

    Suppose that I have applied several effects preset to a certain clip.

    Now I want to inspect which presets I applied.

    Can I do this? If we were talking about the effects rather than predefined effects, it could be accomplished easily, could not?

    Inspector (or deletion / to hide/change) the effects that have been applied to a particular item can be made easily in the properties panel.

    But I think that what you asked is that the same is possible for the effect presets.

    Well the answer is YES and NO, depending on the preconfiguration of effects that you applied and your understanding of the preset.

    Presets like - "PIP 40% YOUR Spin Out Top.

    Can I go to the properties panel and see any input related to it? Years - no.

    But can I still edit/delete-YES.

    Handly I know what/where to change?  -C' is that your understanding of the preset comes into play. Given that the name of the preset bed scale itimplies «PIP 40%...» ' has been reduced to 40%, HEART involves top-right and high SpinOut involves - values of position and rotation have beenkeyframed (animated). This means that you should just go to the motioneffect and change it.

    Another example - Presets > Contours beveled > bevel thick edges or Presets > color effects > Super dyed Green

    Can I go to the properties panel and see any input related to it? Years - YES, a bevelled edge effect can be seen in Panelfor the first preset properties and a "Tint" effect can be seen in the case of preset rates.

    In short, an entry for preseeding of applied effects explicitly appears in the Properties Panel - No.

    But I can understand and modify a preset of applied effects or is there a way implicit to differentiate the presets applied effects (> 1) - YES.

    Depends on your understanding of the preset.

    Itay, effect presets are a cutting-edge concept, and as become familiar you with Preworkflows, you would become little bit more uncomfortable change.

    See you soon!

  • Find/replace for text formatting

    Hi guys,.

    How to use find/replace for text formatting changes? I would like to change a text of entire book to try an another typographical options. The book is currently typed in text of Lyon. The problem is when I change to Sabon will make it overides the italics and the word "BOLD".

    I tried to find/display

    Sabon italic

    but it does not work. Most of the text of this book is not formatted with the character to italic Style, for example, just a paragraph Style General to make it easier to work with.

    What I am doing wrong? Any help or ideas?


    Thank you!

    All of the text has a paragraph style that applies the formatting of basis for the whole paragraph. ALL text that deviates from the General formatting of the paragraph should have a style of character applied somehow, either directly, or as a nested or style GREP, which overrides the formatting of paragraph and gives what you want. The paragraph styles that do not change the font family are much more useful, for example a style that just changing the text in italics, as they continue to work when you change the font family of the paragraph style in the basic text format section.

    Character styles are used ONLY to change the part of the text in a paragraph. If the paragraph has the same formatting, it should have a paragraph set for this format style.

  • Tips for change bars and revision management

    When a row in the table is deleted, there is no indication of change bar. There are workarounds for this?

    It seems that the management of the revision in FrameMaker is not as complete as one would like. Advice on the management of the revision in FrameMaker would be welcome.

    IMHO, it's the tables that cause most trouble; what I'm doing here, is resigned, apply the condition to the contents of each cell instead of simply by selecting the line and see those disconcerting with horse-of-Friesland

    the another tweak that I sometimes had to use is implemented model extra for titles, so that I can show a cap removed in the text without having it appear in the table of contents and is not deleted :-}
