I was on my way out the door last night and misread your question. There is indeed a bug in Arbortext 6.0 when using Print Composer in batch mode, which can be fixed as described in my answer. However, that was not your question. I do not know the answer to your specific question about not using Distiller. That’s what I get for not reading carefully.

We currently are using 5.3. Corp is upgrading to 64bit Win7 in near future. Will 5.3/5.4/ or the new 6.0 be supported on 64 bit?Thanks.

Make sense? The table title on the first page of the table has change bars.When the table runs across onto a second page, the repeat title living in afloat is not change barred.Has anyone been asked to change this behavior before? How'd you do it?-- Paul Nagai

I'm trying to hide some elements in the Document Map view. Is there a possibility to do so? I managed to hide element in the Edit View (using the Styler Hide option) but this doesn't work for the Document Map. Also, the ElementOption in the DCF file is meant to hide the element from the insert tag list's, not to hide content. Any suggestions?Regards, Geurt Lagemaat

Hi All,We are running Arbortext 5.4 till now and very soon to be migrate to 6.0 version. Through the documentation, I understood that, from 6.0 onwards, Arbortext uses Flexnet licensing system. Already we use the Flexlm server for other products like proe wf3/wf4/mathcad etc. I need to add the Arbortext 6.0 licence to the server without affecting the existing licenses.Please guide me on how I can proceed regarding this.Thanks,Sudhi

Adepters:We're using PE 5.3 Patch M190 to generate direct-to-PDF output. We have a requirement to deliver secure PDFs - you can open and read, but cannot save or copy/paste. Does anyone know if Arbortext supports this in any version of PE. If not, can someone recommend a third-party batch tool that could be inserted in the process to secure a PDF.Thanks,Dave Hintz

PDF is attached with pages from my book that are related to PDF linking, bookmarks, etc. Note thatnot all pages are consecutive. The PDF viewer bookmarks may help with that.Please let me know your comments, corrections, etc.Thanks!Suzanne Napoleonwww.FOSIexpert.com"WYSIWYG is last-century technology!"

Hi all,This question may be silly, but I am totally new to this Arbortext 5.3 and I cannot make head or tail of anything I have a pdf file and a style sheet (.style). I just have to add a new element onto the pdf. This element's value will be taken from the .xml file. But i dont know how to do it I couldn't find any good tutorial site also.One more thing. Is there any option to create a pdf immediately in 53.3 so as to check if the changes made have been applied?In my system, the Arbortext PE convertes the .xml into .pdf with the help of the .style style sheet. Can any one of you please help me out?!Let me know for any other doubts as this is a very urget issue for meThanks in advance.Madhu!

I was wondering if it is possible to increment a variable myself in a footer or header.A footer looks likes this:Page 10/(11 blank)So I was hoping I could increment a counter variable myself in the footer or save the content of a counter variable to a text variable and add 1. I have a feeling this is not possible. I did create a second page counter to keep track of the blank pages but my numbers are off so I wanted to check for a shortcut before I tweak it.folioct,\/(\,pageno1-ct+1,\ blank)\ obviously doesn't work.

Hi All,Is there a way to determine who's been using a Floating license? i.e. is there a logfile somewhere which logs either username or ip address?ThanksPete

I have a user that is trying to view information/files through IE that are provided by another company. I'm trying to find out more information from him but at the moment he is telling me that the ISOView 7 'plugin' is provided by the external company. The problem that he is experiencing is that every time he tries to open a webpage with this information on that requires ISOView the windows installer pops up and asks for the location of the ISOView installer (.msi) and stops the page from loading. If you cancel these two boxes and stop the installer then the page loads fine and he is able to continue.   So far I have asked him to talk to this external company and see if we can get hold of the installer, as I can't find a copy of it here.   But I am just wondering if anyone has come across this before? Is the only solutions to uninstall and reinstall ISOView? Does ISOView 7 still exist as just a plugin? I have managed to download the WebCGM plugin... is that the same thing? &n

Dear fellow Adepters,Does anybody know if PTC has publicized some sort of roadmap regarding GUI customization of Arbortext Editor?I'm investigating the feasibility of developing a JavaScript based data binding framework for XUI, something that would be a major undertaking. Basically, I find XUI sound. But programming dynamic user interfaces using the DOM is utterly developer hostile, so I'd like to abstract that away.Given that it's 10+ years since XUI was introduced as sequel to Galaxy/ACL Designer, and that Arbortext Editor seems to become a single-platform application, I wouldn't be too surprised if PTC had something Windows specific in their sleeve (based on XAML/WinRT, like WPF/Silverlight). I'd hate to learn about such a thing after having spent months plumbing XUI...Thoughts, anybody?- Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to you all!

Hi,I've got a strange problem. Using Editor 5.3 m110 and the table includedbelow, I am unable to get a rule trailing the merged cell preceding thefooter. Anyone seen this before? Known bug or "feature"? Got a workaround?I manually added the rowsep="1" on the cell in question. The tableinterface wouldn't do it.<table frame="top"><title>can't force rule after merged cell preceding footer </title><tgroup cols="4"><colspec colname="col1"/"><colspec colname="col2"/"><colspec<br/>colname="col3"/><colspec colname="col4"/"><thead><row><entry colsep="0" valign="top"><para>Header</para></entry><entry colsep="0" valign="top"></entry><entry colsep="0" valign="top"></entry><entry colsep="0" valign="top"></entry></row></thead><tfoot><row><entry colsep="0" valign="top"><para>Footer</para></entry><entry colsep="0" valign="top"&

Need to extract content in <title>, <para> and <trim.para> tags from a moderate sized (1100 pgs) xml document. I've been checking into regex (but repeatedly see folks say it's not the best tool for this), but I don't know anything about XML DOM parsers or stuff like that (just a simple arbortext user.) Is there any easy way to do this? Either within Arbortext or a simple tool I can find online to parse an xml file and dump content to text or whatever based on what tags I select? Request advise, over. (Bob, Bristol RI)Thanks all for the quick replies.Suzanne's write-untagged command was perfect - quick and so simple, even a caveman could.... well, you know.Happy holidays and thanks again.

Hi all,Surprisingly, I was only recently asked to do automatically populate thePDF document properties. I ran into one glitch along the way. Although thedocumentation in help is correct, the namespace information on the web ismisleading. The key names are not capitalized and they need to be. Thenamespace info with the misleading references to "title" for example thatshould be "Title" as possible Key values:<usetext source="!<atidmd:DocumentMetaData source="local"><br /><atidmd:DocView mode="bookmarks"<br />destination="topofdocument"></atidmd:DocView><br /><atidmd:DocInfo><br /><atidmd:Entry><br /><atidmd:Key>Title</atidmd:Key><br /><atidmd:Value>Your Title Here - Can be text variable set from attr on<br />root</atidmd:Value><br /></atidmd:En

Hi, Arbortext-ers!You may have seen from a previous post that the Arbortext entry on Wikipedia has been removed. To maintain a neutral point of view and to avoid conflicts of interest, we (PTC) cannot re-create the page. To best adhere to Wikipedia’s policies, we believe the content should be created by others. You can see a prior version of that page here: http://web.archive.org/web/20100701101156/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbortext

http://www.salon.com/2011/09/02/paperless_cockpit/The most notable part about this article is:1. It's written from the end user perspective - an actual pilot who will actual be using a paperless solution.2. The idea of the paperless anything around something as complex as a plane has gotten to Salon.com (not exactly the place I expected to read about S1000D or ATA material).

We have just upgraded to 6.0 M020. Since doing so the XSL-FO stylesheets that we use to produce landscape pages are publishing the pages as PDFs upside down. The page is set up as a 11x8.5. Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior? I have tested this using Print Composer and PE Server I get the same results with both.Thanks in advance for all your help.
