Update of master pages and formats in several dynamic projects

I'm a student just starting to learn FrameMaker, so I apologize if this is an inappropriate question. While I was do pretty well with the program and completed a few fairly important projects, I have not really seen how FrameMaker is used in major projects in the industry. So I tried to think about questions that may arise. One that occurs to me is the scenario where a number of computer manuals for a family of products is developed. They all need to be formatted in the same way. Of course, you start by developing a model with master pages and then start each manual based on this model. But then what happens if we discover that for some reason any, that we have to change a graphic on master pages (or something on the pages of reference, a paragraph tag or a variable)? On the import of these things in another file, it is a possibility. But all those working on the project have to do it manually for each file in every book? Or y at - it a way to get these things put updated dynamically across multiple files?

Or I'm misunderstading how such a project, and so this is a false problem in practice.

Thanks for any clarification.

Import formats is very flexible.

Brief description of van of synchronization of formats across two or more files by importing them from a master file is excellent. However, it highlights one of the problems with the feature import Formats: it can import that categories of full format - all the variables, the paragraph formats, etc. To selectively import only a part of a category of format, savve a copy of the main template under a new name, then delete everything unwanted in each category of format, save the file, and then use this model custom as the source for the file > import > Formats.

Google search for terms such as "suppression of the FrameMaker formats", without the quotes, for more details.

You can also use a custom master file to create new formats and import them into your main template file, or you can keep this custom template independent of the general model and the new formats for import it.

HTH

Kind regards

  • How to create a master page and detail? Insert > object missing panel data

    Hello

    So I created a database, and I want to read data from the database table. I want when someone clicks on an element of the database to get on a new page and see all the other information on this element. I looked for how to do this and found the master page and detail 'system '. But for this I need an option in the Insert > data panel, the master and detail Page set option. And that's the problem, actually there is no sign of 'data' in the insertion bar in my Dreamweaver product. I use Dreamweaver CC 2015, Windows 8.1

    Normally, when you open the page palette in InDesign, it is divided into two. The upper part is where is the master page (and a page named none), while the lower part is where are the actual pages of documents. Unfortunately when I opened my palette (InDesign CS 6 on a Mac), there is no upper and lower part of the page-only the lower part is displayed. When I put my cursor on my pages, it tells me that I "Applied A-master".

    Why not my top shows (A-master and none)? The pages that I don't "Act" like master pages - for example, I can't get past page numbering.


    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    It looks like the upper part may be in a State reduced - the line was pulled up.

    Just of the cursor on the line that separates the upper and lower sections, and drag it to the bottom.

  • Footer without the master page and links to multiple anchors

    I'm working on the landing page for a website and I wanted to create box that was left at the bottom of the browser window and a hyperlink to the next anchor below.

    If you load the page and when you click on the box that need you to the first anchor point, paragraph of the text. If you click it again it scrolls down to the next to the next anchor point, a table, and so on (hope that makes sense).

    So the first step to create a rectangle and keep him in the foot, but the page I'm getting has a master page, and because of that I can't solve or even see foot of page guide.

    This is my first question: How can I create a footer without going through a master page?

    My second question: how to hyperlink to the anchor next below the current position?

    (I'm new to both Muse and the forums, so I apologize if this is a simple question, or if it has already been answered.)

    As for the second question, there is a work around to get there using the opacity in the effects of scorl Panel. See attachments.

    I created a word/link called then. He performed the fallen on the page and linked to a text anchor.

    I put in place of the opacity levels in the scroll box based on the position where I wanted to appear/disappear.

    I then I duplicated the word/link on another layer (paste in place to ensure that it is in the same position and of course is always pinned), created a new anchor point, linked to this anchor (test2) then set my rate of opacity in the scrollbars appear/disappear when I needed.

    So what is happening is the text or graphic link is to appear/disappear when you move to the bottom of the page.

    Note the numbers of pixel opacity on two attachments to see the effect.

    I put them on different layers so that they are easy to select, because they are above the other

  • With the help of Master pages and blocks of text

    Hello

    I created a text frame on a master page and you have specified a style

    Can I add my custom text on the text block by pressing ctrl + Maj + text block.

    If I change the style, it applies to all pages.  But if I move or resize the text block on the page master it does not apply to all pages because it has become its own layer on this page.

    What do you do before you can change the text block and the master page and still be able to add your own content in pages that depend on the master page.

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Why do you need to replace the title of the page?

    Use either a text variable, a section marker or create another master page based on this master page with a different text in the placeholder. Only the content will appear on the pages, everything else, like running headers or page numbers or artifacts have a place on the master page without replacing them.

    When you later create accessible PDF or EPUB this difference is important. You can read high voice content in Acrobat for accessibility, that text on the page, not the master is used for this, and when you export an EPUB page only elements, not the master are included as it should.

    If you need text to expand, when something changes, create your page with margins and borders that will help to make changes later.

    OK there are two Associates as I see it.

    Each of your pages is made up of a solid, opaque, for a main image bitmap.
    Master Pages, by default, are at the bottom of the layer stack. Your
    tabs ARE present, you just can't see them because they are covered by
    the bitmap image.

    Assuming that you do not have these page images of the elements multiple objects,
    where you can change the blue background, there are always two things you
    can do, which are pretty easy.

    Go to each page and temporarily lower the opacity of the layer 1.
    Use the marquee tool to draw a selection around the area of the tabs.
    Delete the selection.
    Replace the lay full opacity.

    OR

    Try to drag the master page to the top of the layer stack in each page.
    Hide or remove the master page background.
    This option is a little more complicated, but I've been able to do. Expect that the
    bar black to appear before you release the mouse button. You may need to try
    This a few times before it works.

  • Master Pages and text boxes

    I'm trying to set up my master page with a few text boxes, but I try to get so that the text boxes I put in place in the master page, I can use and edit text in my Document. But what is the point of putting the text boxes in the master pages if you can't use them on your pages. This could be something simple, but I can't understand it. IM use cs4. Help, please

    Thanks for the help, I was hoping that I didn't have to place text on each page

    There is nothing wrong with putting a text on a master page object. To edit a template on a page, command + shift + click on item.

  • Master Pages and subforms

    Any help is appreciated!

    I created a form with 4 master pages. The first contains a subform of analytical data. It occurs only once. The 2nd master page contains a subform of many data fields. This master page is limited to 30 occurrences. The 3rd master page is a master summary of some data on the 2nd page. The 4th occurs only once and contains only the data of a "Yes" answer on the 30 occurrences of the 2nd master page.

    I need to have some (for example name) areas of the Master Page 2 fill a column of 30 raw in a Master Page 3 table. How can I get each "trade name" occupy a separate space in the table?

    Also, if a user archive 'Yes' on one of the 30 occurrences of Page 2, is it possible to have all the data of these sheets to fill the Master Page 4?

    I hope I have explained this intelligently!

    Thank you


    Gene-O

    He took the time to look at your file and understand the requirement... Here are my observations...

    • First of all, I gave a proper name for the Master Pages in the hierarchy. Selected the "(Master Pages) ' form1 in the hierarchy and renamed"Master pages"." This gives a cleaner approach in the code while referencing controls.
    • Field supervisor carries the name as LicenseNo initials, I renamed it to SupervisorInitials to avoid confusion by referencing the fields.
    • A commented code in "form1. MasterPages.Page2.SummarySheet.Successful::exit ".
      in case of 'Success' only is 'None ' then' Desc' is hidden;
    • I changed the target version for Acrobat or Reader 8.0 or later, because many things are not supported in 7.0.

    To complete section locations under license...
    (1) it is better to replace the text boxes of 30 rows with the rows in the table.

    (2) when you do this the left column, you can use for serial numbers. Currently, you put a text and vertically you enter serial numbers.

    (3) given that your form is a static form, you can write the script in the output event of controls (for example the trade name) in the 2nd Master pages to fill in the corresponding field in 'Section allowed locations' page.

    (4) Simialrly for Type and license #, you need to write the same script in the click event of the radiobutton LicenseType and also the output of the license number field event to concatenate values and fill in the corresponding field in the page "authorized locations Section.

    (5) do the same for the address field

    To fill the page of 'tobacco Compliance Check Detail... "

    (1) you must write code in the click event for the option button 'Purchase successful' to fill the corresponding fields in the table.

    I placed example code for complete business name, license number, Date and time in the attached file. You can see the code in the events
    "form1. MasterPages.Page2.SummarySheet.Successful.SuccYes::click' and 'form1. MasterPages.Page2.SummarySheet.Successful.SuccNo::click ".

    To test the file, open it in Reader / Acrobat, enter values for the trademark, license No., Date and time and click on Yes to successful purchase. Check the Table of non-compliance with the data entered.  If you select No, then the values will be deleted for this line.

    Hope this can help you...

  • The Master Pages and Guides

    Hi all
    OK I used frames as a design of multiple pages, so I'm very happy with the addition of 'Pages' and 'Master pages '. However, there is a glaring fault. Guides. It is natural to assume that if you set guides on a master page, these guides will be available in any page created, but, they are not passed through. This means you must define the same guides over and over again!

    Maybe I am missing somehting?

    The nature of the InDesign templates which is the master items can be modified on the pages of the document.  Master page items can be unlocked on the pages of a document (shift-command on a mac), but recommended is to avoid doing this.

  • Master Page Bugs? Do not update the changes or apply correctly, New Page.

    I work for our new models of project with master pages and have found what appears to be several major problems:

    1 when I make changes in the Master Page (.htt file), none of those changes propagate to the topics that have been attributed to this Master Page. He shouldn't do that?

    2. as an alternative, I tried to apply a Master Page to several topics on the pod to the list of topics. The first problem with this is that you can not apply the existing Master Page. So, I had to create a new Master Page with my changes and then tried to apply it. However, several problems occur. First of all, none of the new Master Page formatting appears correctly. Second, for some reason it is duplicate the breadcrumbs at the top of the page (each master page, before and after only had a breadcrumb). It seems to have combined some of the formatting both before and after the template.

    I must also point out that when I apply the Master Page with changes to a new topic, it works correctly.

    I have read the documentation carefully and that you feel that I'm doing this correctly. The problem seems to be that the feature does not as promised. I see this as a serious problem. Our models are likely to change over time, and I need the ability to apply changes massively.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Hello

    You must first understand Master Pages are used in two completely different ways. Looks like you make changes to the space reserved for the body of the Page Master and expected to see changes influence-related topics. Sorry, but that never worked.

    There are therefore two ways Master Pages are designed to work in RoboHelp.

    Method 1 - used to infuence the EXISTING content.

    Maybe you have created 1,000 and now you want to add a header, footer, or both to these existing entries. You set a Master Page and add a header, footer, or both to the Page Master and you associate it with topics. All of these topics now have a header or footer. Any changes made to the header and/or footer is filled throughout with all related topics.

    Method 2 - used to influence the new items that you create.

    You may know that you want to create many subjects that should have the same look and feel. Maybe all of them begin with a table that contains an image and text. So you set a Master Page and configure the space reserved for the body you want to see it. When you create new topics, you point to the Master Page so that as the topics are created, the content of the body of the Page master is filled in on the subject as a starting point. Once the topic has been created initially, the changes to the Master Page ARE NOT reflected in the topics. This method works identically to make a copy of a document. The copy is identical to the original. And any changes made to the original will be never copied during the copy. Only NEW copies will receive the changes.

    The breadcrumbs go, you have probably GLOBAL breadcrumbs activated in the recipe for the presentation of a single Source. This means that everything gets crumbs during the creation of the exit process. If you try to use the SELECTIVE Breading by adding space to the Page master, you must disable the breadcrumbs GLOBAL to avoid double.

    I hope that helps a little... Rick
