May I know Arbortext Advanced Print Publisher Unicode 9.1 M100 supports Windows 10? It is possible to install the updated version with the 9.1 license key? Thanks.

Our situation Editor 7.1 m060  (using TIA)  IsoDraw 7.3 M090 (Exporting CGMS)   We recently upgraded from windows 7 to win 10. Our users are now having an issue when scrolling through topics, that when coming into contact with the cgms, the cgms take over the scroll wheel are zoom in and/or out. We did not see this in windows 7. Does anyone know how to disable this feature.   Thanks, Bryon 

We are having an issue with extended publish times. We are using Isodraw to create our illustrations and then exporting them to CGM. If we place an eps that has text into the IDR then export to cgm. It seems to take an extended time to publish. What is the best practice to do?   Bryon

Has anyone else encounter this issue or error message? Using Arbortext Print Composer to publish, Windows 7/Windows 10 users, .style, .fos, and .xslfo type stylesheets, fails at all three. Acquired Windows updates recently, and from that day forward, Print Composer stopped/ceased working, like a switch being set to off. Message received is: Runtime error formatting document: main::Error'[A31643] Formatter succeeded but produced no DVI file'. The .aptcache starts with the temp file, populates with a .ftx and .tex, never completes to PDF. Task manager has to be used to end the session, after terminating the session the message then appears. Any one have any leads/information to offer?   

Can someone point me in the right direction? I know about recording macros and the Arbortext IsoDraw Macro Language Reference 7.2.pdf.   I'll give an example of what I'm trying to create as a macro and if anyone knows what or where I can go to learn macro coding to do this kind of macro coding.   Ex. I have a rectangle in my ISODraw document (this is our format border). I already have a macro that I created that will select all the text and art created for this particular document. Then aligns it all in the center of the rectangle border and then aligns to the bottom then moves it up a specific distance. So that every document of art we create is centered and at the same exact distance from the bottom of the border. The border does not change in width and the bottom of the border does not move. The height will change depending on the height of the art and text. To change the height we will move the top of the rectangle border down to the correct height. I have

Hi. For reasons I won't bore you with, we have a requirement to always leave outermost (i.e., root element) tags in the content even when the user wants to remove all content from a document. Long ago we implemented callback functions for Cut, Copy, and Delete, which would deselect the outermost tags before the action took place; this of course is in the use case where the user selects the entire document (e.g., CTRL+A). Recently, perhaps with our introduction of v7.1 to our project (just a guess, given the timing), this no longer works as it did for years. Now, when the user Selects All and performs a cut or delete, our callback function still performs as intended, meaning it moves the selection to everything inside the root elements; however, when the cut/delete actually happens, the user is left with an empty document (i.e., the root elements are also removed, even though they're unselected). Due to the requirements of our authoring project, this is a potential disaster; the ou

When using Arbortext 6.0, can you remove the entity files from the XML file after pulling in the text from the entity?  Basically using entities to share content and upon publishing remove all entities and keep the content.  Which basically flat files the xml file.

We have two very similar DTDs.  Both DTDs have the exact same graphic definition. Graphics for both DTDs are using the same exact folder structure. SGML files for both DTDs are pointing to graphics in the same exact manner. However, graphics are behaving very differently. For DTD-A, ArborText Publishing Engine will use local graphics when creating the PDF.  For DTD-B, ArborText Publishing Engine will not use local graphics when creating the PDF. Am I missing a setting someplace?   EDIT: Both DTDs are using the same exact style sheet (the DTDs are that similar that one style sheet works for both of them).  

Arbortext Version: 6.1   Issue: I'm trying to use the "Paste Excel" feature in Arbortext, but all that happens is it pastes the correct amount of rows and tables, but does not populate the cells with the content.  I know this is because when it generates the table, it does not populate the cells with <para>.  For reference, another user had this exact issue in this thread:  https://community.ptc.com/t5/Arbortext/Arbortext-Editor-5-3-M210-Importing-Tables-Via-Excel-into-S1000D/m-p/73726   Word for word it is the exact same issue I, and my organization, are facing.  We're left to manually enter in our content one by one.  In the link above, the response mentioned editing the .dcf file and changing the InsertAuto setting.  This is the solution we are looking for, but do not know how to go about doing this.   What are the steps to change that setting so that whenever a table is created, it automatically populates a <para> in each cel

Hello, With Arbortext and using ACL language, how to retrieve the window Id using the window Title ? David

I have an acl function that counts the xref's and resolves the marker. However, it only goes up as high as 26 (a-z), but we have 30+ fn's. Therefore, after z, it needs to restart with ab, ac, ad etc. I hope that makes sense.   So we have in the function the following line: $enumerator = chr(96 + positionWithin($destOid, $scopeOid)); for which i assume is what does the counting. I need to pass a count as $intValue and return a label in the form "a, b, c, ..., aa, ab, ac"
