Hiya,Has anyone had any success populating the advanced metadata (documentproperties) in PDFs?I am able to set: Title Author Subject KeywordsI can't set: Author Title Description Writer Copyright Status Copyright Notice Copyright Info URLI'm mostly interested in the last three.(If you search the archives for atidmd you will probably see a discussionin which Susanne shared part of her book that relates to this, but like thePTC documentation, those advanced properties are not addressed.)I don't know what the correct Key names are for them. They don't workas-is. Removing the space or replacing it with an underscore doesn't work.Replacing it with %20 crashes the formatting engine (whee haw!).-- Paul Nagai

Hi,I am using the 4.4 M080 print services and I noticed that on page 1 of a Data Module the Table of Contents lists the paras 1, 2, 3, 3.2, 3.2 and then stops. There are a couple of figures after para 3.2 and then the text content resumes. There should be entries for 4 through 5.4.3 since the data module contains more content. Does anyone have a quick fix for this?Greg

Hi,Ok I updated the AAD Print Services stylesheets to 4.4 M090 (14099). The extra white pages which appeared at the end of Data Modules have disappeared. However my Table of Content issues have changed.In 4.3 M060 and 4.4 M080 I got a partial Toc in each Data Module. Some of the titles of levelledPara were listed, after which the remainder did not appear in the Toc. Now the situation is somewhat worse as "References" and "Description" appear in the Toc of a Data Module[cid:image001.png@01CFB092.0A97AD60]Is this by design? I have 14 tables and 18 Figures listed from the Data Module, information code 030, but none of the titles for levelledPara show up. I think they should.Greg

foTable.xsl still does not contain picas and the translate portion is still missing a conversion statement. Without this statement the column widths for tables with measurements in picas are incorrect in the output.

Hi,If one of our XML files, 123456.xml, contains change-tracking markup, we write a copy of the file, 123456.xml.redline, and then accept all of the changes to the file before further processing and placing the file in a watch folder to be picked up by our typesetting system. After that is done we want to restore the version of the file that contains the change-tracking markup. For many years using the Unix version of Arbortext Editor (or its predecessors), we would copy 123456.xml.redline to 123456.xml and the edit -current to open the file with change-tracking in the open editing window. Now that we have switched to Windows (running v6.1 M010), after issuing the edit -current command, the file (123456.xml) does not display the change-tracking markup. However, if I open 123456.xml in an ASCII text editor, I do see the change-tracking markup in the file. In order for the change-tracking markup to be visible again, I have to completely exit and re-start Arbortext Editor and re-open 1234

Arbortext 6.0. We are using and SGML DTD with Arbortext 6.0 M080. Our writers use the id and xref combination for referencing.When they click on attributed icon to bring up the attributes, they click on the autogenerate ID icon (looks like a firecracker we think) it generate a tag that is the first 35 character of the text and an ASCII value. Probelm is the text is in camel case (first letter of each word is Uppercase with no spaces). When they then use xref and select the reference, the text key is all lower case. It works ok in the composer/APE, but we use the data for creating ourown HTML and links do not agree. Is there a way to set the text to all lower case for the ID or to make REFID keep the text the same as the ID. Or is there a way to just generate the ascii number and not use the text.

We've been having problems inserting graphics/images into our Arbortext SGML file. Each time we try to insert a graphic, we receive the following message:"[A11647] Graphics are not allowed in this document type"We've opened up our .DCF file to try to resolve the issue. In the .DCF, we've found an element for Graphics in the "Specials" field. When I open the attributes for it, I see the following: My question is: What do I need to enter into these fields that will enable us to put in graphics?

Dear guys,do you know an opportunity to get a 'curl' character like in WinWord instead of space character in Arbortext Editor?In XML there is an three-per-em space unicode between this characters, like here:As you can see there is only a space character visible. In WinWord the useres know this sign:As you can see there is a curl between the characters.Is it in Arbortext Editor or Style also possible to get the curl instead of the space character?Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi All,In my ditamap, topics are starting on odd pages.There are no page numbers for blank pages, so, I don't want to count that pages.How can I do it in Arbortext 6.0 using APP?

Using workspaces in Arbortext Content Manager (or Windchill) can be a bit confusing. How do you keep it clean? When should you create one? How long should you keep a workspace? How do you know which one to us (if you have several)? And, hey, while we're at it, why might you have several?  What is a workspace for anyway? What does it mean?  In this session we're going to talk about workspaces in Arbortext Content Manager and Windchill: How to use them effectively and what the best practices are for managing them.Register here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/551941194

Hello, I am trying to understand if there is any Default DTD / Stylesheet template in ATXT S1000D Editor which can be used for a demo. I would appreciate any guidance in this direction. br. Nitesh Pujari

I am trying to implement change marking in an existing FOSI. The DTD provides a change mark attribute on most of the relevant elements and everything is working nicely except for the figure captions.The DTD uses a <figure>,<title> and <graphic> structure and the FOSI suppresses the content in <title> and uses a savetext to capture the title content that is then presented below the <graphic> element with a <usetext>. This is the customer's desired presentation and it has worked fine for the title content in past projects. But now they want change bars.Adding the change att rule on the <figure><title> element, I get a bar to the left and above the <graphic> which kind of makes sense, but I need to find a way to get the change bar to display to the left of the actual caption on the page (and multiple pages if it is a multi-sheet figure). Could I put the caption in a float instead to make this work? Has anyone dealt with this situation

I've been asked to create and configure a template for a new document and I don't know where to start. I'm navigating through the DOCTYPES directory for some guidance. I tried to take some of the training online but my request must have been lost in the shuffle. Anyway, training or not, I need to do this and this file appears to be necessary for my new dtd but I don't know why. Thanks.

I'm currently working a problem with the pview plugin, I want to hide the 'File' menu, the toolbar contains 'Home', 'Markup', 'Sectioning', 'Animation' should be kept visible.Can anyone give me some advice?

Abortext IsoView does not appear to be qualified for touchscreen devices and there appears to be more development of functional improvements on the Creo View product range. Will IsoView be improved or can Creo View be considered a modern replacement for IsoView when viewing 2D technical illustrations on touch devices?CreoView seems to support a wider range of Web broswers compared to IsoView, so it is not just the user experience aspect where this query is coming from.

I have Arbortext Editor 5.3 configured with AF DTD 38784STD-BV6. Now there is a need for 38784STD-BV9.dtd (DTD v9). What other files do I need and how would I configure AE to create a structure that is compliant with the newer DTD?I downloaded the "v9" DTD and FOSI and something called a TDT.When I opened an sgml document that was compliant with my v6 DTD, and associated the v9 DTD with it, it blew up.That's the good news. At least the content is there. I think I might have to run through context checking and it would create the proper structure. I hope.But I have no stylesheet. Where does one obtain that?Basically 2 questions:What does one need to set up their AE config for an updated DTD of a MIL STD?How do you get started creating a document with a new DTD? Or, better yet, how do you get an existing one to slide nicely into the updated DTD structure?

I'm building a report via Report Management. For my results I only want the most up-to-date document and display it version and iteration. Right now the way my query works is that I get the latest versions with it's latest iteration. Example: document.xml A.11 and B3. I just want B.3. Make sense?In my Query Builder I have:Document.Version (versionDisplayIdentifier)Document.Latest IterationI searched through discussion but couldn't find the answer. It was mostly sql queries (or something like that).Your help is appreciated Thank you, Darquise.

Hi guys,we have problems with the output window of the completeness check in the newest version of Arbortext Editor 6.1 M020.If anything was not valid then the Editor 5.4 showed following window:As you can see there was possible to click on the errors to jump directly to the error.In the Editor 6.1 we get following output with the same xml file:These informations are not helpful and we cannot jump to the error. In our opinion is this completeness check in the newer version very disappointing.Maybe we do anything wrong. Anybody an idea how to get the old output? We hope you can help us.

Hi all,This feels like a Friday question. Is it Friday yet somewhere?Authors have asked for feedback in the Edit Window whether or not a tablerow has anything but a defaul break status. I have put together a few smallbits of code (embedded below) that do this. Sort of. For some reason thedetection/display is sort of "delayed" by one cell/column, wrapping when itreaches the end of a row so there is feedback in the first cell of thefirst row following the actual row where there is a break_penalty set.If a row has break_penalty set to force, I expect this to display asgentext in each cell of that row: table break: forceInstead, that displays in cells in columns 2 through n, where n is thenumber of columns in the table, AND the following displays in the firstcell of the first row following: table break:So, interesting, right?Using the following series of commands (copy/pasted to the command line allas one line of text), Editor will correctly report the break_penalty statusof each row.

I have noticed some differences in formatting between what we used to get with Editor 5.2 and what we get now with Editor 6.0 M040.Given the following structure: <c></c> :In Editor 5.2 our e-i-c for element <c> used to read "<e-i-c gi="C" context="A">Now, in Editor 6.0 M040 it has to read : <e-i-c gi="C" context="*" a"=">. Otherwise, it won't fire.I presume this is a difference in the formatter interpreting the FOSI from version 5.2 to version 6.0.Has anyone else noticed this?

FOSI has ways of detecting empty elements, as described in the attached PDF file from my book. It occurs to me now that a FOSI could write an external ASCII file (.exp file) with information about empty elements. For example:.exp filechapter 2 title on preview page 12 has no contentchapter 5 title onpreviewpage 33 has no contentWith this information, you could go to the Preview page and use Synchronize Editor Position to locate the empty element in the Edit window. The following code outputs "EMPTY TITLE" to make it easy to spot..fos fragment<e-i-c gi="title" context="chapter"><charlist inherit="1" charsubsetref="title" allcaps"="><savetext textid="chapter-title.txt" conrule="#CONTENT"><usetext source="chapterct.txt,\." \"="></usetext><usetext source="<empty.yn">,</empty.yn>"></usetext>..<e-i-c gi="empty.yn"><charlist inherit="1"></charlist><att><specval attname="chapter-title.txt" at

Hey folks got a question that I can't find a good answer for in the EpicHelp or Help Center. Preparing to pass what may be the last (and may never be released) versionof MIL-HDBK-2361 to the Army. We are giving them the schema, XML, graphics,and a FOSI. My boss and I are having a discussion as to whether or not Epic with thePrint Composer requires Adobe Acrobat to generate PDF or if Epic's PrintComposer has an embedded PDF generator. I thought once that I had to installAcrobat to get PDF and I no longer have Epic on a machine that does not alsohave Acrobat so I cannot test who is right. So does anyone know if one is using Epic with the Print Composer installedand selects File | Publish u PDF file Epic will produce PDF without Acrobator will the choice be greyed out? This is kind of a toughie as PTC does not seem to like selling its printcomposer license so I'm sure not how many can verify this.Many thanksLynn
