Hi Adepters,If margins in a page set are set to 1" right and left, what could cause the output to behave differently? The left margin is less than an inch and the right margin displays as more than an inch. We're using a table to build a front cover with these right and left 1"margins. The margins are just the beginning of a whole host of very specific measurements that are wacky in the output. i.e., we need a column that is 4.4", and have to set it in Styler to 4.62" to have it print correctly. The 'conversion' doesn't appear to be consistent.Has anyone seen similar behavior?Best,Anne

Hi I've joined the PTC forum newly. I've a requirement to add the unit convertor in Isodraw. Is this can be done in Isodraw? Can anyone help on this?

Please excuse my lack of knowledge of this product. I have just been tasked to install and learn. Arbortext. It is a first time use for me. I look forward to learning this but I have a few questions regarding the various extentions used with the product. 1. Can I assume the .rpt is a report output? I know this sounds really simple, but the application has not been setup on my machine yet and my supervison is asking me details they can pass on to their customer. I appreciate any assistance. Thanks

All the buzz may have you wondering why you should switch to XML and why should you adopt DITA as your structure. Then again, you might not. You may be one of those people plugging away with your traditional desktop publishing system without ever thinking of changing. Perhaps you are one of those who has been lulled into a false sense of stability by doing the same thing, the same way you always have, and using the same ‘ole tools.

Hi All, I am interested in organising the "Arbortext 'Classic' User Group Meeting in the UK" as we haven't had one for quite a while and things have moved on a bit in regards to technology and PTC/Arbortext as an organisation. This email is an early warning of the intention to organise this and a call for ideas of what people would find useful and interesting in terms of logistics and content, e.g. When should we do it? Where should we do it? How long should it last? What should be the focus? Which guest speakers should we invite?All suggestions and ideas welcome.

Editor v5.3 has suddenly stopped opening; Architect and Styler as well. Keeps trying to open .xsd, which we don't use, and won't let me browse to correct DTD. Nothing works to resolve this - not new install, even with all v5.3.0... removed from 'regedit.' Has anyone else had this problem? Suggestions?

Hello, I need to install the M032 patch for Arbortext Editor 5.3. Does anyone know where I can download this from ? Regards, Andy Leslie

It's been brought to my attention a particular problem with the PDF documents I create from Arbortext v9.1. Accented characters are not searchable in the PDF documents (é, è, ç, et cetera). Are there output settings that I can modify or adjust and then test? Has anyone else come across this problem?

I had an evaluation copy of Editor and Architect (along with a lot of other editors) a few years ago at the start of my PhD research on the usability of XML editors. I now need to run my test harness on the same set of software as a final update, to ensure I am not misrepresenting any product, but I am unable to download a second evaluation copy (error message says "You have entered an invalid product code" although there was nowhere to enter any code). It advises me to use www.ptc.com/olm/contacts.htm but all the phone numbers given for non-US users (me) are the same number (!) and all of them are unobtainable because they are 0-800 numbers which cannot be dialled from another country (and my local one for Ireland is invalid). I managed to get a number for the Munich support centre, but they are either permanently busy or the ringing times out. Is there an email address I can contact someone in PTC on for this enquiry?

Ed, No joy. Cleared .aptcache on my machine, and the temp folder referenced in the error messages on the PE server.Steve Thompson +1(316)977-0515

I don't know about PE, but sometimes with Print Composer, we would get strange error messages when the .aptcache folder got too big. Deleting everything in the .aptcache folder would often fix this. This was a few years ago, with older PC's, so it might not be a problem today.Just a shot in the dark.

Anyone recognize this and/or know what's actually wrong?(Text from Composer Log dialog. Typed, not pasted, since that would get all the tagging, too)Compose JDF_FIM_...-chk.xml for pdf.ERRORError response from e3: message='Failed to open document 'C:\WINNT\TEMP\e3temp_...\x20.xml' with flags '636' using stylesheet '(null)'.Exception error = '[A15000] Unable to load document type due to errors parsing DTD: "C:\Program Files\Arbortext\PE\custom\doctypes\fim\fim.dtd".

Hello,I am getting "validating Module Namespace warning everytime I open a document. I believe it is because of the stylesheet that I have created. The description of the error is:Inconsistent Prefix Usage Detected in Module: '<mystylesheetfilename>' Original Prefix: 'xsi' Original URI: 'xsi' Used Prefix: 'xsi1' Used URI: 'xsi'I do not have multiple modules in my style file. Is this something that I can hide or I can fix?Karthik

Is there a way to make Arbortext Editor show em and en spaces as a special tag or an entity tag rather than just as the space at its correct width? I know when I use Format>Touchup>Hard Unbreakable Space from the menu, I get a visible _hardspace in the document view. I need some visual cue for ems and ens so at a glance I know which is being used. Thanks, Rita Graham

I'm still working the 38,000 pager - thanks for the help so far guys! Got me in the ballpark.One issue is the PE not finding graphics. Not sure why it is an issue if Editor can find it, then PE should, too, or get it from the Editor client...isn't that what it says in the PE PDF?PTC has me editing the document on the PE server with PE services turned off - that helps...get a few more error messages...like lost graphics (graphics randomly showing up - different graphics with every print!) I coded the path to the graphics directory in Tools | Preferences | Files | Graphics and that seemed to fix it - but that only works on a local machine.How do I tell the PE where the dozens of graphics directories are? Preferably without having to update every graphic with a public identifier. Can I use the catalog file to map to the directories without mapping to each graphic?Take this for example:A network graphic location - G:\TM 9-2355-319-10\Graphics\CHAPTER 3\ABSio.wmfThe local location on the P

Hello,In our DTD we are using <emphasis> element for font styling which has a attributed variant=bold|italic|normal|bolditalic. I modified the textstyles in the DCF file to these elements. My question is how can I made bold and italic to the attribute value bolditalic i.e., when the user click both bold and italic it should tag <emphasis variant="bolditalic">. For underline we have another attribute called underline=yes|no. So when the user want bold and underline and if he clicks both bold and underline options in ArborText the tag should be <emphasis variant="bold" underline="yes">.Karthik

Hi,In the last month, my McAfee VirsuScan software as quarantined the pstill.exe from both my ArborText 5.2 and 5.3 installations. It even quarantined the zips of the 5.2 & 5.3 software installation packages. It says something about detecting an "Artemis Trojan". I was just curious if other Adepter's virus software is flagging these files. Given that those files have been on my PC for months or years, I think it's a false detection by McAfee's Artemis Technology system. But, it's disconcerting that it is quarantining and would eventually delete files from legitimate software product.Thanks,Curtis

Hi, all....When creating DITA maps in Arbortext 5.4 M010 on Windows, when using the Resource Manager to insert <topicref> elements and <chapter> elements, the href attribute includes backslashes in the path.This is incorrect according to the DITA spec. All hrefs should be URIs, and thus forward slashes should be used.Is there an option somewhere to fix this?If so, and I set it, will Arbortext be able to find files on Window when file paths are with slashes?ThxSteveHYPERLINK " \nOracleSteve Fogel | Information Architect, Oracle Database| 650.506.4914Oracle Server Technologies Information Development500 Oracle Parkway | M/S 4op1126 | Redwood Shores, CA 94065
