Arbortext

One of my writers returned from vacation and finds he can no longer get his DITA maps to display correctly. They come up in an unusable state as shown in the attached screenshot. Other dialogs, including the Preferences dialog, also display incorrectly. Have tried clearing the cache, rebooting, and everything else we can think of, but cannot resolve the issue. Any suggestions? We're using version 8.1.3.1.

Would installation of PTC Abortext Styler 8.1 be necessary to add video and audio content? For that, it appears as though we would need a separate license other than the PTC Arbortext with Styler 8.1 version license that we have already.   Best regards,John P. Roy

The print preview function is no longer working.  We use this all the time. Publish to PDF is still working and can be used as a work around but it isn't ideal. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but this did not fix the issue.  Going to a newer version of Arbortext isn't an option for us.  Any ideas on how to fix this? I will attach a screenshot of the error I am getting.

Hello, i am creating a Toc in docbook arbortext v8.2. My docbook tree is as follows below image. i want the toc for chapter here, which is section/section/chapter. the problem is, i can create Toc, but i can't restrict its scope to be inside of section/section only. The aumatically generated Toc is showing the Next chapter contents also if i give scope as chapter or section. here my chapter definately should come inside of part and a volume overall. i need to add scope of section/section for creation of Toc so i will get the result i want. is there any way to add like that?

In our Arbortext installation, we have a customized print command that preprocesses our XML files before generating a PDF. Once the PDF has been generated, the customized command issues the license_release( "PrintPublishing" ) command before it finishes.   Most of the time this works just fine, but occassionally (a few times each month), the print composer license will not be released. Since we only have one license, I will usually hear from our users that they haven't been able to get a license for and hour or two. When I check the license server log, I can see which user last checked out the license. If I ask them the manually release the license (I wrote a menu item just for this), the license is released when they do so.   Is there anything more I can do to ensure that the license is released when the release_license command is issued?   Thanks, Rick

Hi all, Im trying to change the menu of Arbortext. I am able to see changes in the instance.acl with my dtd files, but can't get the menu to change upon startup (no file loaded). My acl is located in custom/init   function load_menu(){ menu_add -before .File.#15 "Publish PDF and Release Print License" -cmd { compose_pdf(); license_release("PrintPublishing");} } add_hook("menuloadhook", "load_menu");    I also have an environment variable APTCUSTOM created with a pointer to a mapped drive containing the same code. I also tried the simple_init.js to see if it was an issue with acl, but same result (nothing).   Application.alert("Hello from JavaScript");   

Hi, I want to ensure the print publishing (print composer) floating license is released after publishing to PDF. I have implemented using an instance.acl file to add a menu item called "release print license" using the command license_release(PrintPublishing)   menu_add -before .File.Publish.#7 "Release Print License" -cmd {license_release(PrintPublishing)}    But I am stuck on how I should go about bringing up the publish pdf dialog box, putting in all the arguments, THEN releasing the print composer license. Or perhaps, the release_license is triggered by the end of the build process.

We are using Isodraw 7.4.2.0.   When placing assemblies onto our predefined template in Isodraw, we usually have part the illustration hanging off the hatched area. Do you crop it, mask it, or leave it? If you leave it, how does it look in Editor and pdf output? We export to CGM and find anything hanging over the hatch area also shows up in editor and the pdf. We have changed the different vdc extent options when exporting but it does not change  the editor view or pdf unless we change the isoconvert vdc extent setting to 1 instead of 0.

Hi, ptc Community. I have an XML document in a CMS repository.Is there a way to set a prefix to the filename of the PDF pubblicated locally by ArborText via File->Publish->PDF?I have some document attributes, as language and version, that I would like to set automatically to be inserted in the name without changing it manually each time a PDF is published in that way. Thanks in advance.

In an XML data module opened in Arbortext Editor, when scroll down to a graphic part, it triggers an error “Can not find or start IsoView Server. Error -1”. Does anyone know why? When I changed the view to Creo, the graphic shows up, but Arbortext Editor won’t recognize any hotspots from the graphic, thus I don’t want to use Creo View.
