Hi all,we are currently authoring in Arbortext 7.0 with Styler and we are using APP to publish our documents in PDF. Everything is working perfectly, except something which I would like to know if it can improved.The setup as it is, requires 3 passes to output PDF, meaning that it goes through all pages 3 times before the PDF is generated. This is ok for small documents, but usually we publish large documents of around 600-700 pages.Is there a way to improve that so that we speed up the publishing process?For example, is there a way to configure how many passes will be run before the PDF is generated?Thank you very much in advance for any hints/tips/assistance.Tasos

We are working with DITA xml. AE 6.1 M080. Whenever I try to insert content within a tag the tags attribute window opens automatically. Can this be disabled? I would like to have the attribute window open manually (CTRL+D). Could this have something to do with our style sheet? Anyone else experience this and if so, do you have a solution?

I've recently upgraded Arbortext Editor from 5.3 M100 to 6.0 M040. We author SGML documents. Couple of issues that I am encountering:Hitting the Enter button after a tag does not show the "Quick Tags." The preference "Show Quick Tags on Enter" in Tools > Preferences > Edit is checked. From Advanced, the "quicktags" preference is set to "On" Unable to use the mouse scroll button to scroll up and down the document."Newline" breaks are appearing everywhere in the document. In the 5.3 version these breaks were not present. Any way to remove these in 6.0? It causes problems with our publishing system. Also, 6.0 allows you to use the "Enter" button and add multiple spaces. Can this feature be disabled?Any help/advice will be greatly appreciate!Thanks

Arbortext Editor 6.1 adds unwanted newlines aka Carriage Returns througout the text. They are not visible within the editor but are visible in any text editor. This is an extremely annoying behaviour. Is there any way to turn this "feature" off. For anyone that runs scripts over the markup this is a pain because this breaks search patterns.Example: The newlines break at odd places, for example there's a cr after <xref:in accordance with sub-paragraph <xreflinkend="myid"></xref>.

To create our xml documents I’m using Arbortext Editor (http://www.ptc.com/service-lifecycle-management/arbortext/editor )What is the bug to solve ?When I create new entities, I have to declare it in the .acl file (edqm_ent_E_W7.acl).  We have to declare it in the .dtm file (dbgenentEN.dtm) too.Sometimes, colleagues forget to declare these new entities in the .dtm file (dbgenentEN.dtm).It generate the bug I need to solve, when we run the script in Arbortext Editor (this script runs in fact edqm_ent_E_W7.acl. It marks up our xml file).The bug is :I run the routine in Arbortext Editor.  Ifthe  acl file doesn’t find the entity in dtm file, Arbortext Editor deletes the text instead of keeping it (through ‘’break’’ command) or replace it by the specified text (in the example here : if ($Error>0) {ie PhEur}).With this command, if there is an error, it should mark up with ‘’ ie PhEur ‘’.Why our xml editor delete the text?To understand better what the bug is, watch the video

Hello all, We're getting ready to purchase our setup and I'm wondering whether we need only one or both of the products.  I understand that Styler locks your system up while it's working whereas PE does not (runs in background?).  Any insight?  Thanks!

Hello,Does anybody know if there is a way to force a row in a table to go to the next page?I have found something in Table Properties (after I select the row) in the Row tab, there is Composed Output Options> Page Break Before Row.I have selected Force for this option but it doesn't work.The row I want still appears on the bottom of the page. And I need it to be on the top of the next page.Does anybody know an option that works?

I get an error message when I try to open a file linked to a stylesheet. It says the stylesheet has been created with a previous version of Styler and it cannot be used unless the stylesheet is upgraded. I read how to upgrade it, but I'd like to be sure this is the right thing to do. Both Arbortext Editor and Styler versions are 3.5. I don't understand where this problem comes from, since nobody modified this stylesheet on purpose (but its properties indicate it's just been modified). I simply set the right addresses in the system registry to locate the dtds, that's all. Please, does anyone know how this operation might have caused this problem? Thanks, Sonia

Hello everyone,We are trying to print a pdf file with FOSI stylesheets and we need to avoid printing its last section which is auto-generated.In fact, this content(some technical data) already exists in different places inside the document but it is unified and shown again in the last page.We tried editing the corresponding .ent files which contain the element involved using the "suppress" command, but it didn't work(content gone but titles didn't).Is there another command or way to achieve this? Maybe a specific file to check?Thank you in advance!

One of the most powerful mechanisms available to you as a stylesheet developer is the creation and use of property sets. Property sets help you abstract formatting needs into reusable components. Want consistent level 1 headers? Create a property set that you can use every time your stylesheet encounters a level one header, without coding it over and over again or copying and pasting formatting code? Property sets are the keys to the reusable kingdom for a stylesheet. In this session, we’ll talk about the power of property sets and show you how to use them.This session is accessible to Beginners just getting started with Styler StylesheetsThis session is intended for Intermediate users of Arbortext Styler.View the RecordingThe video is now available for viewing: Watch this episode of Arbortext TC Dojo Online on our Vimeo On Demand ChannelTC Dojo Mastermind group members can watch it for free on the forums.About The TC DojoThe TC Dojo is brought to you by Single-Sourcing Solutions.

We are getting PDF page oversets for some of the graphics, but there are no scalefit/width/depth attributes on our graphic or sheet elements. Is there a setting or preference to get AE 6.1 to automatically resize graphics to fit on the page? We can't change the DTD. mentioned using putgraphs and fillval if the graphics are defined as entities, which they are. I really only want the oversized graphics to be affected.fillval attname="gnbr" attloc="sheet" fillcat="putgraph" fillchar="graphname">

We have recently changed from DTD to a schema. Since doing so we have lost our entities/symbols from the drop-down list. From what I have read on this forum site, it appears that PTC has not made an atempt to resolve this issue. I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution. I would appreciate if anyone could provide a few suggestions. Thanks

Hello,We get errors when entries inside the the original xml files of:   Maintlvl = "field" and, wpinfo = "new" are not accepted by Arbortext.  How can we fix this?This is not an issue on 2 of our PCs.  The other 4 PCs use a reinstalled ArborText application.  All PCs are set to use DTD 3.27 for this project, it's mandated by the customer for this phase of the project.Any help is greatly appreciated.  My direct e-mail is Delores.Annajee@ubtus.com

Hi:For some reason, PTC Arbortext 6.1 M060 does not construct relative paths properly in DITA. We've set the file locations in Arbortext for the root of the DITA project. If we do not set the root, we get absolute file references. Setting the root gives us links of the form:<xref format="dita" href="SubDirectoryUnderRoot/someFile.dita" scope="local" type="concept"></xref>  This will not resolve in the build given a source file in an adjacent subdirectory.The links, in this particular case, should be:<xref format="dita" href="../../SubDirectoryUnderRoot/someFile.dita" scope="local" type="concept"></xref> This will resolve properly in the build for a given file in an adjacent subdirectory.If we set the file locations for each and every subdirectory, we still get incomplete URLs without relative paths.Information Developers are adding the relative path ../../ info manually until we figure out a fix, which is tedious and error-prone.It's as if Arbortext does no

Hi! We're using Arbortext Editor 6.0 m080. It looks like there is a limitation on how many characters will display in the tags. Some of our attributes are very long. This wasn't an issue in the previous version (5.1) that we used. Does anybody know how to remove the limits on tag display?

I'm currently working with Arbortext 7.0 M010 and am having an issue with one of my ACL scripts. I'm receiving an "Unexpected argument:\" error on the readvar line.
