I created a XUI dialog box which contains an object "tabbox" (panel) including two objects "tabpanel" (tab).In ACL language, how to recover the name of the active tab (tabpanel) when the dialog box is open?

Is there a setting or attribute that can be used to keep a table row from splitting between pages when the table crosses page boundaries?  I've got a table of technical manuals, some with ridiculously long names, and it just looks so ugly when it breaks across a page.  All of the information in the entire row is on the first page -- with no bottom border, mind you -- and the remaining portion of the row at the beginning of the next page contains only the remainder of the title, with all other cells blank, of course.  But I can't make any sense whatsoever of the available table attributes or their options.  And needless to say, Help is worthless.Thanks,Mic

We have been dealing with this, on and off, since 2013. When working in AE the users are copying and then dragging content from one location within a table to another. Using copy/paste with CTRL+C and CTRL+V reduces the jumping but the screen still does jump. Or pasting content within a new list item makes the screen jump. The user then has to scroll down to the original location to insert the copied content. I have opened a case with PTC but no solution as yet. Does anyone have any idea as to what would be causing the screen to jump? Has anyone else experienced this? HELP!

Hi All,I am creating an illustrations Catalog in my enterprise from XML docs to HTML, with the Compose For Web tool. All the process runs ok, but my problem is when the program download the images from Windchill PDM and save them in a local folder, it saves them with a random name distinct from original. I would like customize this process and keep the same names in the local folder. I need to know where the Arbortext Editor makes it!!I put you an example:My original image have the name IL025368.cgm, and when I run the program, it saves it in my folder with the name xwc4345242677753719289X3938.png .  All the images downloaded have the same format, they begins with "xwc" and have the "X" char in the same position that this one. All the numbers are generated randomly.Could somebody help me? I have this problem many time ago and I need already solve it!!Thank you very much,Raúl Alonso

What company provides the best consulting in the US? Just curious as we are looking for expertise for con refs and style sheets on ver 6.0. We have been using AT for 5 years and have yet to utilize the full potential in my opinion. Got to ask the questions, they are free. It's the answers that cost!

I'm having trouble applying custom css rules to my html file. I've followed the instructions from the Arbortext Help but I see no changes to my file. Am I missing out on something?

When using this method with the flag 0x002 (Suppress the prompt that unsaved changes will be discarded) the dialog that is suppressed is still displayed for a moment as a little box (see attached) in the center of the Arbortext Editor window.We've even had situations where this little box has not disappeared but stayed on screen and waited for the user. All the user could do then was hit ESC which closed the dialog and carried on.

Hi.I search since a long time but I never found a solution to compose my pdf at one time.I need to publish my xml files for my customer and I compose my pdf files one by one !Sometimes I have more than 50 files.I've read some solutions, but they are not enough accurate (pieces of acl code or prompts) and I'm not a great programmer.I'm very interested to learn how to write a script or launch some prompts to realize some tasks but tutos for real beginers are rare.I have the version 5.4 of arbortext editor and perhaps some of you have a good solution for me.Why this feature doesn't exist in the arbortext menus ?Select all the xml files instead only one and compose pdf...Thanks by advance for your answers and your lights.Best regards.

How many tests can Styler 7.0 handle? 46000 is too low...How many characters an XPath expression can have in Styler 7.0? 1024 is too low...Florin

Is there a method to add multiple page pdf files to the finished pdf document via Arbortext or the PE? No need to add page numbers/headers/etc. I just need to merge in raw pdf files to the end of the published document. I found several old posts pointing to the use of itext, but that is an external library that has been modified throughout the years and is no longer the same program it was before and I'd really rather accomplish this from within Arbortext itself.

Hi All,I am creating an illustrations catalog in HTML. I make it from a XML file and I use the tool Compose - For Web.

Hi, I'm new to ACL and am having trouble understanding tables and callback functions. I intend to add some tags to a recently inserted table. My first step is to add my callback function for any document  to be invoked after inserting a table:doc_add_callback(0, table_insert_after, myCB)Unfortunately, it seems like the code within myCB is never run. No errors when adding myCB and no messages when inserting a table in the editor. Anyone knows why this is happening?Thanks in advance,

DITA file has been opened from Windchill 10.1. The user accesses the AE Object drop-down menu but several options are not available. For instance "Check Out", "Undo Check Out", "Check In Object" are grey and cannot be accessed. Note: this issue does not seem to occur all the time. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know the cause?

Hi all,Trying to see if anyone in the community has experienced a similar issue... Using either Arbortext 6.0, or 6.1 [32 bit or 64 bit] latest builds, I get an [A11514] Unhandled Exception error out of the blue. There is no apparent workflow that causes this except perhaps time. It happens sometimes when starting the application up without opening any files. It always happens when open for extended amount of time. I have an open case for this but no resolution in site.Seems like a memory issue or perhaps something on my system conflicts with Arbortext.Anyone experience similar issue?

Hello every one,I am having a difficulty on Arbortext, I would like to keep the content of a table together but when I generate the PDF if the table is at the bottom of a page it splits the content. I already tried some modification on the stylesheet (keep, indivisibility) but even when I change the different levels of priority to set new rules for keeping content together, it does not change anything.Do you have any clue to solve this little issue?Thanks,
